Disinfo: A two-day visit of Ribbentrop to the USSR could not be the reason for WWII outbreak

Summary

it is unfair to claim that the two-day visit to Moscow of Nazi Foreign Minister Ribbentrop was the main reason for the start of the Second World War.

Disproof

This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism and an attempt to erode the disastrous historical role of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact by the statements that the USSR was forced to sign this pact; other European countries signed various international agreements with Adolf Hitler, Munich Agreement triggered WWII and various historical conspiracies saying that the Western democracies wanted to inspire a war between Nazism and Communism.

A “two-day” visit of Ribbentrop to the USSR resulted in the signing of the Secret Supplementary Protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which assumed the partition of Central and Eastern Europe between Nazi Germany and the USSR. This Secret Protocol was the direct reason for the outbreak of WWII - the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact enabled the German and Soviet military aggression against Poland in September 1939, triggering the beginning of WWII.

The Dutch tribunal deliberately delays the investigation [of the MH17 disaster]. Investigators make every effort not to find out the real cause of this disaster but to fulfill Washington’s political order.

Democratic Party planners use the strategy of “programmed chaos” in their own country

Strategists of the Democratic Party want to deliver a blow to Donald Trump, diverting the violence, riots, looting, anarchy and chaos that took over the US after the murder of George Floyd by policemen to prevent the president’s reelection. It is paradoxical that the US strategists and planners who promoted coups in 70 countries during the Cold War and later promoted ‘colour revolutions’ in Yugoslavia, Egypt, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine and many other countries, decided, in their despair, to use the same strategy of ‘programmed chaos’ in their own country.

June 22, 2020

Disproof

Conspiracy theory claiming that US racial justice protests after the death of George Floyd are actually a ‘colour revolution’. It is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative framing every protest in the world as staged from the outside.

The widespread protests against racial injustice and police brutality broke out in the US after the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis on the 25th of May, 2020. The protests followed several high-profile incidents involving African Americans and the police, invoking debates about racism in the US.
