DISINFO: USA has occupied Germany as a colonial power for eight decades

SUMMARY

The entire coalition government in Berlin - popularly known as the "traffic light" - is betraying the German people, just as the satraps did to a foreign colonial power. This colonial power is the USA, which has occupied Germany with troops and nuclear weapons for eight decades.

[...] people have been brainwashed with Russophobia and Western imperial arrogance to such an extent that pathetic behaviour is considered "normal".

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about German-American relations. Pro-Kremlin outlets often use the narrative about different countries being under the American thumb - see other examples here.

Germany is an independent and sovereign country with a vibrant political scene. Germany and the US have close partner relations as the two sovereign and independent countries that they are.

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.

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.
