Ukraine war: Trigema boss Wolfgang Grupp suspects that "the Americans are controlling everything in the background".

This is "reflexive anti-Americanism," says a political expert.

Berlin – An interview with Trigema boss Wolfgang Grupp made waves: In view of the Ukraine war and the associated energy crisis, the well-known textile entrepreneur Grupp told BW24 from IPPEN.MEDIA that he sees the USA as the driver of the conflict : "I maintain that the Americans control everything in the background so that they alone remain a world power."

A statement in which political experts like Thorsten Benner, director of the Berlin Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi), see dangerous parallels to conspiracy theories.

Thorsten Benner on Buzzfeed News DE: "You couldn't put reflexive anti-Americanism into a conspiracy theory more clichéd to fantasize about a supposed secret plan behind the Russian invasion."

I don't understand how you've been best friends with Mr. Putin for 20 years, make yourself 100 percent dependent and within two months you're a mortal enemy!

That does not exist.

Something must have happened a long time ago!

I contend that the American controls everything in the background so that he alone remains a world power.

Trigema boss Wolfgang Grupp

Political expert: "Wolfgang Grupp provides illustrative material for conspiracy theories"

With his assertion, Wolfgang Grupp "provided perfect illustrative material for conspiracy theories in public discussion for politics lessons," says Thorsten Benner.

Conclusion of the political scientist and co-founder of the think tank GPPi: "In this case, Trigema boss Grupp would have been better off leaving the statement to his mascot Charly, who would certainly have managed it more intelligently."
