German army sets up first overseas bases since Second World War
As soldiers arrive in Lithuania, Berlin says the permanent presence of 5,000 troops will send a ‘clear signal of solidarity’
With permission this time tho, right?
From the capitalist ruling class of course.
If they wouldn't allow it the country would just be labelled an enemy state to be overthrown by capitalists, as had been the case here.
I think the people of lithuania are pro-base as well...

While actively funding and supporting a genocide too.
West Germany was never denazified.
Fully 77 percent of senior ministry officials in 1957 were former members of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party, a higher proportion even than during the 1933-45 Third Reich, the study found.
From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading lawyers and judges in the then-West German Justice Ministry had been members of the Nazi Party.
Of those 90 officials, 34 had been members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), Nazi Party paramilitaries who aided Hitler's rise and took part in Kristallnacht, a night of violence that is believed to have left 91 Jewish people dead.
While alot of the rest of the nazis stayed in power through NATO
West Germany was never denazified
data that ends before the BIRTH of the majority of Germans
Look, I'm not saying that Germany doesn't have a problem with an increase in far right politics and violence in recent years, but to claim that they never stopped being a Nazi country is some ahistorical tankie edgelord bullshit.
Until recently, Germany has been a near-pacifist country almost pathologically careful to "Nie wiederholen, nie vergessen" (never repeat, never forget) and pretending otherwise doesn't accomplish anything except expose your very shallow and underdeveloped understanding of the world.
I dunno man, Germany just can't help itself from committing or supporting genocide throughout their history. Are Nazi's flying flags in Germany? No. Is Germany passing laws and carrying out foreign policy as if they were still run by Nazi's? Most definitely yes.
