DISINFO: American 'Deep State' will continue a hybrid war against Russia through Joe Biden

SUMMARY

Given that Joe Biden is very old and his mental strength is incomplete, other people behind him will rule the US. They belong to the ‘Deep State’, bureaucracy and special services who initiated a hybrid war with Russia. Hence, people who will pull strings behind Biden’s back are Russian enemies. They will likely include people from Obama’s team who led a hybrid war against Russia, staged a coup in Ukraine and placed a Russophobic junta instead of lawful democratic power. Foundations in charge of colour revolutions, special services, and media in charge of an awful, amoral information war against Russia and Putin are mostly connected to the US Democratic Party.

American transnational corporations want to dominate the world and target national sovereignty. Vladimir Putin not only strengthens Russia’s sovereignty but also helps other countries. Russia exports sovereignty to other countries along with high-technology weapons and energy sources. Furthermore, the people who will rule the US oppose traditional values that Putin and most of Russia stick to.

The US will intensify its anti-Russian attacks yet in 2021. After a series of geopolitical conflicts the rulers of the US will realise that Russia needs to be crashed from inside. Hence, they will begin to promote a colour revolution in Russia through support to the Russian opposition including Alexey Navalny and Mikhail Khodorkovsky and look for traitors in Putin’s inner circle. Russia needs to be ready to withstand a colour revolution attempt.

RESPONSE

This piece promotes a number of recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the so-called 'Deep State' in the US ruling the country and aiming for global dominance, the US's anti-Russian plans including colour revolution attempts, a 2014 coup in Ukraine organised by the West, and West's moral decay as opposed to high-moral Russia.

This 'Deep State' narrative aims to question the legitimacy of democracy and Western institutions in the US. This is conspiracy promoting the view that US presidents and other public officials are just window-dressing whereas decision-making lies in the hands of another group of people.

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives frequently claim that popular protests around the world are allegedly incited, and funded, by the US and other Western states, including colour revolutions in post-Soviet states, the “Arab Spring” revolts, the Euromaidan in Ukraine, protests in Catalonia and others. This narrative claims that protests, disorders, and civil uprisings are never manifestations of popular discontent but are “colour revolutions” directed and funded by the West.

There was no coup in Ukraine seven years ago. The demonstrations which began in Kyiv in November 2013 – called "Maidan", or "Euromaidan" – were a result of the Ukrainian people's frustration with former President Yanukovych's last-minute U-turn when, after seven years of negotiation, he refused to sign the EU–Ukraine Association Agreement and halted progress towards Ukraine's closer relationship with the EU.

See other examples of these disinformation narratives in our database, such as claims that the Deep State is using Navalny to force Merkel to scrap the Nord Stream 2 project, that clashes in Nagorno Karabakh are part of an anaconda ring plan against Russia, that the West's objective is to encircle Russia entirely thanks to the "Anaconda ring" and "Great Turan" doctrines, and that Putin is demonised because he defends Russia’s identity against globalist power.
