Turkey is still part of NATO. It would be a bit strange if NATO partners are supposed to defend one another but can't sell each other weapons :) Agree re. Saudi Arabia though. I'm surprised they still do that after Khasoggi.

I also agree that NATO members should sell and exchange knowledge. But Turkey is acting more and more hostile, also working against US interests and even against the interests of Greece, a important EU member state. That's why the US will open now new military bases in Greece.

I just wanted to show, that Germany tries to sell and make profits from both sites. And this will be a problem in the future, if parts of your economy are depending on, what someone would call, hostile states to western interests. It's already now a problem with the EU-Russia political conflict, where Germany is the main reason for the passivity of the EU regarding Russia and their aggressivity against eastern european nations. Also a reason why Poland trusts the USA way more on this topic than Germany or Western Europe.
