Disinfo: Germany is a vassal of the US

Summary

Germany is a vassal of the US. The USA gives Germany direct commands. It reflects the basically colonial system of the geopolitical chain of vassals and overlords that exists in the world.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about German-American relations.

Germany is an independent and sovereign country and is not dependent on the United States of America in terms of 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 examples see: 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.

The American “Deep State” strikes. NATO has links to it.

The book “The Deep State Strikes” aims to shed light on the dark sides of world and background politics. This volume contains several guest articles and deals critically with the activities of the so-called “Deep State”. “This is also called ‘Permanent Bureaucracy’ or ‘Permanent Government’ and is completely independent of democratic elections”.

In this book, former air force officer of the German Armed Forces Jochen Scholz analyses the USA in its current state of world politics as a “tumbling hegemon in aggression mode”.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory, consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western hegemony and belligerent West.

The idea of a "deep state" has always been very popular among conspiracy theorists. Its manifestations might be different, but generally the concept conjures up the image of a small group of men, deciding the fate of the world behind the scenes.

Disinfo: NATO considers Russia an enemy and develops Cold War era thinking

NATO considers Russia an enemy and develops Cold War era thinking.

In the meantime a new opponent has been reinvented: Russia. NATO is playing the old Cold War game. Russia had to serve as an old enemy again.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, portraying NATO as having belligerent agenda against Russia.

Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has introduced sweeping changes to its membership and working practices – changes made clear by its adoption of new Strategic Concepts in 1999 and 2010. Accusations that NATO has retained its Cold War purpose ignore the reality of those changes.
