DISINFO: All German political parties are following directives from Washington

SUMMARY

[It is] to deplore the confrontation-oriented agitation against Russia and China, as well as the systematically constructed “enemy image of Putin”. Germany would be centrally endangered in the event of a conflict between East and West, and only ignorant people and dreamers rule this out. The reasons for this lies in the fact that almost all political organisations in Germany, including the parties, have been infiltrated and are following the directives from Washington.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about German-American relations. Pro-Kremlin outlets often use the disinforming narrative about different countries being under the American thumb - see other examples here. German political parties are not following directives from Washington, they are independent and not dependent on the United States of America in terms of their foreign policy making and therefore it is a conspiracy theory presented without any evidence. Germany and the US have close partner relations of two sovereign and independent countries. For other disinformation cases see: Germany is a vassal of the US; Germany is the executor of US hegemony over Europe; The USA is controlling Europe through occupied Germany; Germany will have to choose between defending Europe's interest and catering to Washington. This disinformation message appeared in the same article as the claim that NATO does not serve the purpose of war prevention, it continues to wage wars.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform.
