What do the German chancellor Merkel and the American president Trump have in common? Well the both sell weapons to one of the most horrible countries on this planet.
While most people agree that North Korea is a horrible place to be and nearly every country has sanctions against them, Saudi Arabian is treated with respect and as an equal business partner despite being same or worse.
The German government acts even against the German fundamental law that Germany is not allowed to sell weapons to war eager countries. Anyway it is probably one of the best governments money can buy .. ;) . .
Saudi Arabia is killing civilians in Yemen and the world watches somewhere else. Even the main press has issues telling about the war down there with few exceptions.

Just because the Saudis sit on a huge stock of oil makes them invulnerable, so that even the American president bows before them .. :( ..
