We are talking about a splinter party (BSW) from the main left party (Die Linke) which is a kind of anti-woke- and anti-immigration-party that spouts basically the normal Kremlin propaganda lines about Ukraine. There is of course anti-US sentiment there since is secondary to their main issue, peace at any cost so that Germany can get cheaper energy again.

Note that I'm not a German national but I live in Germany (former DDR / East) since 9 years.

Also having lived in Dresden and speaking some German, I recognize the German grammar affecting your last sentence there.

If it’s of interest, a native English speaker would say something like “but I have lived in Germany for nine years”

I know I appreciated it when the Germans would correct my German grammar :)

Funny, since German is my third language but I guess it creeps into my second and first languages as well.
