#1 Why is this such a common thing from Germany? What makes them think that we should back them at all?

#3 Why is this such a common thing from Germany?

Seems to me its like asking the question; Why are Belgium front companies always breaking arms embargos? Location, location, location. Much of the contraband material itself is manufactured in certain European countries. Those countries have, or are in close proximity to other countries, with less then rigid transit requirements. Inability, or in some cases refusal, to enforce laws necessary to mitigate the flow of contraband make these attractive transit hubs. By design, nefarious groups such as the Russian syndicate have set up shop in close proximity to these hubs. Governments should be held accountable for enforcement, but make no mistake, these soulless Profiteers have no sincere allegiance to any god or government.

#4 Not the first time. Iran has gotten Dutch night vision equipment, Swedish patrol craft, Italian munitions, US computers, medical gear, jet parts, and other equipment. Lots of places to get stuff. Lots of folks liking to make a buck.
