Trump administration officials have condemned the move by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency to designate the far-right AfD party an extremist group, setting off a diplomatic row between the two NATO allies.

The USA needs to fuck off
trump never met a nazi he didn’t like.
Not just Trump.
The US government has never had a problem with nazis. They are very right-wing country and what they hate most is anything left, especially communism. Also the fascists prefered system is corporatism. A wet dream for the ultra-capitalist US. They have a lot in common.And just look at their track record:
They intervened in WW2 purely out of self-interest.
Not to fight the nazis or liberate us.There was plenty of fascist sentiment in the US at that time. The US helped 1000’s of the worst nazis escape in WW2 trough the so-called ratlines and left most of the leaders and important collaborators in Europe unbothered. General Patton “we fight the wrong enemy” was put in charge of denazification of which he unsurprisingly said he didn’t see the purpose. Also they organised fascist ‘stay behind’ armies in many countries, e.g. Project Aerodynamic. And made nazis like Heusinger chairman of the NATO Military Committee, or Hans Speidel Commander in Chief of the Allied Forces of Central Europe.
Later the US also saw nothing wrong with incorporating 100% fascist regimes like Spain, Portugal or Greece in NATO, in fact they were good friends and heavily involved in keeping them in power. Dissent in those countries was crushed by American tanks and guns. in November 1973, students spontaneously occupied Greece’s most prestigious university, the Athens Polytechnic. On the walls they mostly wrote 2 slogans: OUT USA and OUT NATO. That’s how important they were for the junta.
And don’t get me started on South America. Plenty of fascist regimes put in power there by the US. Supporting them militarily, training death squads and more , if not actually fighting for them covertly.
And to this day: https://theintercept.com/2024/06/22/ukraine-azov-battalion-us-training-ban/
I could go on.>
Fash support fash.
Nazis complaining about a real government calling Nazis, well, Nazis.
US citizens right now:
Oh, we’re well aware. If you look at leftists specifically, we’ve known since at least the Vietnam War.
Who’s well aware?
All the Dems and libs complaining now were perfectly fine with imperialistic wars, children in cages and racism.
As long as it didn’t inconvenience them personally in their bubble of pretend democracy.
That would imply a thought goes through their head.
Fascists defends fascists? What a surprise…
Note to the world, if Trump or his cronies condemn you for something, you’re doing the right thing.
I’m in the US and I’m criticizing Germany for taking so damn long to label them extremists!
The problem is how to tackle the AfD. All democratic principles are being disregarded, while freedom of opinion is under extreme attack from the left in Germany. At the same time, this is being instrumentalized and now the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is being used against a legally elected party. While the criminals at the top of the other parties carry on as normal. So now the AfD is securely right-wing extremist… but the voters are not disappearing and so people are switching to an alternative party or founding a new one. The real problem is only being exacerbated at the moment. Since the left is shitting on democracy and laws in order to be able to take action against the AfD, more people will switch to the right-wing party in the future precisely because of this. We are shooting yourself in the foot. Ah yea btw left Parties want Open boardes and openly doesn’t Care about the deaths in Germany at the Moment.
Was gibst denn du für einen absoluten Käse von dir?
Umbedingt auf die paar Immigraten schauen, nicht auf die Berge von Gewaltdelikten durch Rechtsextreme.
Das einzige Problem ist dass die AfD nicht schon lange verboten wurde.
Die Immigranten, welche baerbock ungefragt (ungeprüft) immer weiter einfliegen lässt? Welch ein Zufall die ganze Zeit konnte man die AfD nicht einstufen… jetzt überholen die bei Umfragen… Geht Faeser direkt gegen Meinungsfreiheit vor indem sie gegen ein Redakteur der Rechten Seite vorgeht(unbegründet)… Juhuuu… damit sich dann zufällig der Verfassungsschutz meldet und diese jetzt also wirklich genau jetzt aus reinem Zufall so einstufen… (Also jetzt wo die nichts machen außer bei den Umfragen aufholen… aber da wo es in Vergangenheit immer gravierenden Gründe gab wurde absolut nichts gemacht. Ja wirklich welch ein Zufall. )
Ich bin gegen Rechts definitiv… Die kriminelle linke Seite ist aber auch nicht mehr wählbar… und dann die Wähler die der eigenen Reihe ein Messer in den Rücken rammen ( Du!!!) und immer mehr dazu bringen zu sagen “Scheiss auf alle Parteien”
So und bist du so naiv das du Rechtsextremismus mit AfD gleichsetzt? Ich erzähl dir jetzt mal was… Rechtsextremismus gibt es auch außerhalb AfD , dass ist kein reines AfD Ding… was glaubst du wohin die Wähler verschwinden? Die Leute verschwinden nicht und man geht die eigentlichen Probleme nicht an… Gründen die halt eine neue Partei und haben dann direkt noch größeren Zulauf Bravo…
Scheiss auf Deutschland hoffentlich landen wir im Krieg
Ahja nebenbei wird die linksgerichtete Wählerschaft auch ziemlich rechts mit ihren Friedensdemos und der arschküsserei für Russland und der Befürwortung sich rauszuhalten ( Genozid befürworten)
Ich bereue es so extrem die linke Wählerschaft unterstützt zu haben…
Cry me a river.
Stfu fascist Fan
Well, no surprise there.
Looking at the broken state of the USA it’s totally in character to comment the dumbest possible response
Remember when Taliban endorsed Trump?
People have started not to care who or what the US criticise. Its actually more of s good thing, if the US does not like something…
THEY ARE! WTF!
Why am I yelling to people who already know?
Trump needs them for his global fascist revolution (jk there’s no way he’s thinking that far ahead).
Would be interesting if Germany will do the same mistakes like America.
Looking at the last decades: yes they will do!
But I don’t hope so.
The U.S. government does not speak for the majority of its citizens. It speaks for one man and his handlers.
That’s not how democracy works. yoie goverment is indeed a representative of the majority.
More people should have realised that voting is not a right. It is a commitment and a responsibility
You are right in that’s not how democracy works. Unfortunately, due to gerrymandering and Citizens United, it’s how the U.S.’s bastardized version of it “works.” Thanks to gerrymandering in my state (which is a test bed for much of the nonsense we’re now seeing at the federal level), I have absolutely no voice in our state legislature, which has recently decided to neuter the other two (actually democratically elected) branches of government here.
So it’s game over?
The government is not a representative of the majority, he is elected by a majority to be a representative of the whole. That’s how democracy works.
You are right - this is what i meant.
We no longer have one. Our elected leader is gone rogue.
Besides, our current leader has never received the majority of the popular vote, and our voting turnout has never been as much as half the populace. In my lifetime, no president has ever received so much as 60% of the popular vote.
The theory is good, but any idea that any President is representative of what the US people want is sunny not true, verging on impossible.
- the voters
- the people accepting and just watching the shut show. Well maybe peacefully Protest… No Riots yet…
100% American Accept this
Zionazis criticizing Zionazis for labeling Zionazis as Nazis.
We live in the most absurd timeline.
