Disinfo: Polish and American Presidents have nothing to talk about as there are no interests between the countries

Summary

Why would Joe Biden call President Duda? The United States has no interests in Poland. In fact, Poland also has no interests in the US. Everything Poland was supposed to purchase from the US is already contracted – the signed military contracts wait for their execution. There is basically nothing to talk about because what needed to be done is done – no new issues appeared recently. Currently, Biden’s administration does not have time for courtesy meetings or talks with Poland.

Disproof

A common pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative on Polish-American relations. This narrative promotes the message that Poland is an American “puppet-state” or a country without any international importance or political significance for the USA.

The claim that Poland and the USA “have nothing to talk about” as these countries do not have any interest in each other is unfounded.

The Polish and American authorities have repeatedly underlined the strategic character of their relations – the key aspects in the Polish-US relations do not depend on changes of governments in these countries. The advanced political, economic and military relations between Poland and the United States have a mutually beneficial character.The US and Poland implement such strategically important projects as the increase of the US military presence in NATO’s Eastern Flank, modernisation of the Polish Army, diversification of Polish gas supplies, etc.

Read similar cases alleging that The US Embassy in Warsaw is able to declare any Polish Government as “non grata”, that the US keeps Poland on an anti-Russian leash and Mosbacher was sent to Poland because Poland has marginal importance for the US.

Disinfo: Soros sponsors colour revolutions, revolts and coups d’état against the enemies of the Open Society

George Soros sponsors colour revolutions, revolts and coups d’ètat to strike at the enemies of the Open Society. His Open Society foundation is a cover for a global network that wants to subvert and control politics on a global scale.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory based on a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the philanthropist George Soros, presenting him as a person who aims to control political systems in many countries, by funding what they claim to be colour revolutions around the world.

George Soros is often targeted by the pro-Kremlin media with multiple conspiracy theories and disinformation, aiming to accuse him without evidence of destabilising governmentsattacking churches or actively conspiring on various fronts globally.

Disinfo: A violent coup d’état took place in Ukraine in 2014

A violent coup d’état, supported by the West and by nationalist groups, took place in Ukraine in 2014. Donetsk and Luhansk proclaimed independence because they feared repression against the Russian speaking population, which is a majority in these areas.

Disproof

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Euromaidan and the war in Ukraine .

The peaceful protests, which broke out in Kyiv beginning is late 2013, were a spontaneous popular uprising in response to a change in the policies of the then government led by Viktor Yanukovych.

Disinfo: The US and their NATO allies are turning Ukraine into a "powder keg"

The (military) deliveries went on, they continue. The volume of this aid is increasing. The US and other NATO countries are deliberately turning Ukraine into a "powder keg." For many years on the territory of Ukraine training events have been taking place with the participation of advisers, instructors, dozens and hundreds of those working at different training grounds, and objects are being created that have a direct and negative relation to the security of Russia.

Disproof

This is a recurring disinformation narrative that claims the West is providing military assistance to Ukraine to prepare for a war with Russia. It is also an attempt to divert attention from Russian actions and large movements of Russian military forces near the Ukrainian border. Both the US and NATO have described Moscow's military deployment on along the border as larger than at any point since 2014.

There is no presence of NATO or US forces in the Donbas war zone. NATO experts, who are stationed in Ukraine, for instance, help the country's Armed Forces with the military reform. Sometimes NATO troops engage in joint military exercises with the Ukrainian military.
