- usr1106 5y agoOf course German weapons have been used in various conflicts in various ways. Dual use stuff even more. I as a German did not like it and not vote for those who did it. It was kind of dirty industry politics to stretch the official policy of foreign politics. I have always said the official policy was dishonest. If you do not export to any crisis area, you should not export at all. You are not a credible vendor if you stop selling when the buyer wants it most. In all fairness it was rather limited compared to other weapon exporting nations. The difference since Saturday is: You can hardly vote for any politician anymore that does not openly support exporting weapons into an ongoing war. It's a huge turn-around.
