Controlled by Russia? Given that Germany has been ruled for years by an *East* German that’s not a difficult accusation to be believed.
With German reunification after World War II, the communist East German STASI completely took over West Germany even though the East Germans were way more poor.
When they moved the capital from Bonn to Berlin, that was a clear sign that the communist were taking over. Ronald Reagan should never have allowed it but we were assured by Helmut Kohl that the Germans would remain allied with America. It was a lie. Instead, the filthy scum bag prick Erich Honecker moved Germany toward the Soviet sphere. They have been pretending to be our allies ever since.
