Germany
Hans-Thomas Tillschneider claims the German government is waging a campaign against Russia, deepening the rift with Moscow, and escalating the conflict in Ukraine, potentially leading to war.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (62/100).
The claims regarding Germany's actions towards Russia and the geopolitical situation in Ukraine are complex and require careful evaluation. The evidence suggests that Germany is actively countering Russian disinformation but not waging a campaign against Russia. The claim about deepening the rift with Moscow is partially supported by Germany's criticism of Russia and support for Russian deserters. The geopolitical conflict in Ukraine is well-documented and widely recognized. The prediction about Merz's actions leading to war lacks direct evidence and remains speculative. Efforts to contain the conflict in Ukraine are supported by international diplomatic actions and sanctions.
