DISINFO: Germany depends on the US in the sphere of security
SUMMARY
Germany is a dependent state in the sphere of security. This country is helpless without the US. This is a sign of dependence.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation narrative about US hegemony in Europe. Pro-Kremlin outlets like to present other countries as American puppets. See similar narratives here, here and here.
Germany is an independent state and implements an independent policy. The narrative of the dependence of this country on the US is disinformation presented without any clear evidence. The statement that US military presence is “a sign of German dependence” is a speculative one. Germany and the US have close partner relations of two sovereign and independent countries. The US military presence in Germany is in the interest of both countries as well as in the interest of Europe security.
This case is not the first attempt to present Germany as a dependent country. Read earlier disinformation cases alleging that Germany is a vassal, Anglo-Saxons are at the edge of anti-Russian attack, Germany is semi-occupied by the US, Germany is still in captivity and is not a fully sovereign state.
