Disinfo: Biden is a war criminal who is behind Ukrainian nationalist regime

Summary

Biden is one of the founders of the Ukrainian nationalist regime. He was in charge of the American intelligence services that helped to carry out a coup in Ukraine and to use neo-Nazis for a campaign of terror against all dissenters in 2014. Biden is undoubtedly a war criminal. He must be punished for numerous murders in Ukraine, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the overthrow of the legitimate government in Ukraine.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative on Ukraine and its relations with the United States, consistent with the pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives framing popular protests as Western-led colour revolutions.

Ukraine is a sovereign, democratic state. The US, its political leaders, including Joe Biden, the Democratic or the Republican parties, do not control Ukraine. The US, and Joe Biden in particular, did not control the protests in Ukraine in 2013-2014. The demonstrations 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.

Joe Biden is not a war criminal, he did not use neo-Nazis in Ukraine. For 30 years he served as a member of the US Senate before becoming the US Vice-president in 2008. On November 3, 2020, he was elected the President of the United States.

The Ukrainian government, which came to power after Euromaidan, did not use force to suppress the dissenters. The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has been the cornerstone of Russian disinformation about the country since the very beginning of the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests, when it was used to discredit the pro-European popular uprising in Kyiv and, subsequently, the broader pro-Western shift in Ukraine's foreign policy.

See other disinformation cases alleging Ukraine is under external control: that the US has taken Ukraine under external control; that neo-Bandera's Ukraine is under the US and NATO control; that Ukraine is under US control; that US Embassy controls decisions taken in Ukraine; or that US and IMF define and control political appointments in Ukraine.

Biden’s presidency will lead to new war in Ukraine

If Biden wins, then you can forget about possible bargaining concerning Ukraine altogether; he will continue the policy of unlimited pressure, which in the end may even lead to a new war.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory, recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on Ukraine.

There is no evidence to suggest that there will be another war in Ukraine when Joseph Biden takes over as the next President of the United States.

Russian electoral system is one of the most advanced worldwide

There are clear indications of the deterioration of democracy that can be seen in the US elections compared to the progressive Russian democracy.

The Russian electoral system today is one of the most advanced in the world, including in terms of legislation.

It doesn’t even occur to Russia to allow something similar to what is happening now in the American elections (battle of fakes, dirty techniques, mutual insults, accusations, and slanders).

Disproof

A pro-Kremlin narrative about Russian superiority, in this case, about the superiority of Russia's electoral system.

Russia has been widely accused of having little political plurality. One of the most valuable weapons in the Kremlin's arsenal is its power to control who can run - and indirectly guiding their campaign. Moscow “has tried to create the semblance of competition”, says The Times, allowing other candidates to take part, whilst the more vocal anti-Putin voices are quickly pushed out of the race.

US is living a “colour revolution” and neither candidate won’t concede

The current elections refute the well-known story that the only country in the world where a “colour revolution” is impossible in the United States because it lacks an American embassy.

These days, it looks as if the United States has opened an American embassy on its soil. The elections are conducted according to the “colour revolution” scenario, as none of the candidates is prepared to admit the victory of his opponent. Both are preparing street protests, a “Black Lives Matter” project of chaos and vandalism and looting in major cities.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the racial justice protests in the US and the current US Presidential elections in addition to colour revolutions.

The claim of a "colour revolution" is made without evidence and fits squarely with the Kremlin's view that no mass protest or civil uprising can take place without manipulation by cynical actors behind the scenes. See here for our analysis of this narrative, with examples.
