DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Despite emerging German imperialism, Germans remain subordinated to American culture

SUMMARY

Germans are subordinated to American culture. And this is despite the fact that German imperialism is being revived within the EU in a mild form.

RESPONSE

This message contains ungrounded claim about a rising German imperialism, combined with a lost sovereignty narrative frequently promoted by pro-Kremlin disinformation sources.

Imperialism is policy or ideology of extending a nation's rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. The allegation about a present-day revival of German imperialism is ungrounded.

See earlier disinformation cases alleging that many European countries are under a new form of colonialism, Europe is occupied by the US and has limited sovereignty.
