An opinion from the German Left Party (Die Linke).
This is the remnant of the East German ruling communist party, which was a Soviet puppet. It is still pro-Russian. It still (quite amusingly) still hears its masters voice. Its main support is still that remnant of Ostalgia - nostalgia for the East, held by some recalcitrant few who grew up in East Germany, plus a new radical woke generation of mainly Muslim immigrants.
In the context of a new policy of confrontation with the Eurasian bloc, Germany and Japan are to become front-line states with limited sovereignty for the US. And in this situation, the Hofreiters, Baerbocks and Strack-Zimmermanns are acting as if they want primarily to serve the interests of US corporations and the United States as a whole.
Interesting.
I laughed when I read this yesterday..
“Jan 14 (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev accused Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Saturday of shameful subservience to the United States and suggested he should ritually disembowel himself.”
Gosh, maybe the Germans don’t want to get sucked into going to war with Russia? It didn’t turn out so good for them last time.
