SELECTIVE MEMORY: Putin whines that US troops remained in Germany after WW II. He forgot to mention that 338,000 Soviet soldiers with 4,200 tanks, 8,200 armored vehicles and 3,600 artillery pieces occupied East Germany for 46 years. Odd, because Putin served there as a KGB agent.
Russian dictator Putin has said that US "occupation troops" are allegedly still in Germany since 1945. As Putin claims, German politicians themselves allegedly say that after World War II, Germany "has never been a sovereign state in the full sense of the word".

Reminder: Scholz used to be even worse. In the 80s the ruling party of East-🇩🇪 regarded him as 'an important ally in the struggle against NATO'. He visited East-🇩🇪 9 times with special privileges. He identified as a Marxist and showed strong dislike for both NATO and West-🇩🇪.
