Disinfo: If Zelenskiy wins, US will influence him through Israel

Summary

No matter who will be new Ukraine’s president, US will totally control the country’s politics. Ihor Kolomoyskiy, Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s main sponsor, is fully under Israel’s control. Donald Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have close relations with Israel, so they will influence Kolomoyskiy through Israel if they wish. In case Zelenskiy attempts to distance himself from Kolomoyskiy, American total influence will continue, as they control the IMF which gives loans to Ukraine.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory, no evidence given about alleged Jared Kushner's high degree of control over Israeli policy-makers, about Israel's influence over Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskiy, or about Western influence over the Ukrainian electoral process. Recurring disinformation narrative about Western meddling in Ukraine's elections and Ukraine as a state under foreign control.

Disinfo: American "Deep State" strikes, NATO is a part of it

The American “Deep State” strikes. NATO has links to it.

The book “The Deep State Strikes” aims to shed light on the dark sides of world and background politics. This volume contains several guest articles and deals critically with the activities of the so-called “Deep State”. “This is also called ‘Permanent Bureaucracy’ or ‘Permanent Government’ and is completely independent of democratic elections”.

In this book, former air force officer of the German Armed Forces Jochen Scholz analyses the USA in its current state of world politics as a “tumbling hegemon in aggression mode”.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory, consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western hegemony and belligerent West.

The idea of a "deep state" has always been very popular among conspiracy theorists. Its manifestations might be different, but generally the concept conjures up the image of a small group of men, deciding the fate of the world behind the scenes.

Disinfo: NATO considers Russia an enemy and develops Cold War era thinking

NATO considers Russia an enemy and develops Cold War era thinking.

In the meantime a new opponent has been reinvented: Russia. NATO is playing the old Cold War game. Russia had to serve as an old enemy again.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, portraying NATO as having belligerent agenda against Russia.

Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has introduced sweeping changes to its membership and working practices – changes made clear by its adoption of new Strategic Concepts in 1999 and 2010. Accusations that NATO has retained its Cold War purpose ignore the reality of those changes.
