Peace-loving nation makes killing with subs

Make money, not war. Love, I mean. Whatever. News flash sort of: That big bully Israel who just beat up on all of those innocent Party of God liberation fighters down there in southern Lebanon but lost the war anyway (don’t ask, that’s just what you’re supposed to say) will be purchasing two new German-made Dolphin submarines for $1.27 billion, a third of which will be financed by the fun-and-peace-loving German government.

It could be worse, though. They could have made even more of a killing. This is actually a bargain basement price (billig will ich auch). We’re practically given’ um away, folks! Almost. Like the first two subs that were literally given away a few years back.

But don’t be alarmed. It clearly states in the sales contract (I think) that these subs ARE NOT ALLOWED EVER to cross the southern border of Lebanon or any other neighboring country in the future so, well, then everything’s legit.


That German submarine technology is way cool is nothing new.
That a pacifist nation doesn’t have any problem selling weapons like these the world over while preaching their pacifist shtick to the rest of us out there isn’t new, either. That nobody here takes notice of it is. No. Come to think of it, that’s not new, either.

Hmmm. I’ll get the German link to you ASAP, just can’t seem to find anything about this in German at the moment.

Es spielt sich vieles unter der Oberfläche ab.

1 - Among the people nearly none would approve this kind of business. So there are no reports on it, to save the jews from public anger. But I guess there wont be many more deals like that in the future anyway, so there is no need to churn up this one. (Comment this)

3 - Oberlehrer, OK, OK, Mr. Oberlehrer. War ja auch nur ein kleiner Flexibilitätstest. I put in the damn SICH! Zufrieden? <;-) (Comment this)

4 - Gut so. Eigentlich sind Fehler ja putzig, aber die Art und Weise, wie Sie ihre Posts immer mit einem süffisanten, die "akward Germans" aufs Korn nehmenden deutschen Zitat abschließen - und dies auch noch in Kursivschrift - passt einfach nicht zusammen mit eklatanten Grammatikfehlern. After all, isn't it the alleged German "efficiency" and pedantry that you Anglo-Saxons always so pleasantly sneer at? Well then, if you're trying to imitate it, you've got to be faultless as well. (Comment this)
