DISINFO: Germany is America's vassal
SUMMARY
The US administration wants no allies, only loyal vassals. Washington is using its bases on German soil to wage wars abroad and launch deadly drone strikes. Berlin has also allowed the US to put German-made Leopard tanks on the frontline by supplying them to Ukraine.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the alleged lost sovereignty of the EU and its member states (more examples). Pro-Kremlin outlets often portray European states as vassals, puppet states or colonies of the US and NATO.
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation claim about German-American relations. Germany and the US have close partner relations of two sovereign and independent countries.
Germany made a political discussion to supply of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. The German authorities announced that they would not block the supply of these tanks to Ukraine by other NATO countries (such as Poland). Furthermore, on January 25th Olaf Scholz, Germany’s chancellor announced plans to send 14 of his country’s stock of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
