An extraordinary scandal broke out in Greece as New Democracy called today for the immediate resignation of Defense Minister Panos Kammenos over the sale of Greek army missiles and bombs to Saudi Arabia. Claiming that Kammenos had cut the deal with a “suspicious broker“ ND noted that a military prosecutor had intervened on Tuesday following claims by an army officer that the minister signed a 66-million-euro deal with the broker in question“. However, the main issue lies elsewhere; given the tribal - clannish structure of Saudi Arabia, arms are never delivered to governmental authorities but to tribal figures impersonating the military or the administration. But these figures are not truly bound to the ailing Saudi state and will soon use the military equipment imported for their internal, tribal battles that will end up with the split of Saudi Arabia into 3-4 lawless terrorist states. This is the tragic reality. In this video, MEP George Kyrtsos offers some background in Greek.
