About 37,000 soldiers from 18 countries will take part in the military exercise “Defender Europe 2020”. 20,000 of them are American military personnel. The main goal is to practice the rapid deployment of American forces to the Russian border. Experts believe that Washington is testing options for invading the territory of the Kaliningrad region.
Summary
There is an orchestrated campaign against Bernie Sanders by US “freedom of expression champions” such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, and if it is necessary to link him to Russia, let’s do it, people will swallow it anyway. If they have to invent that Vladimir Putin is the virus of US democracy, they will continue to do so, because who cares that there are no arguments? They can simply frame it as ‘highly likely’ because it always works.
Disproof
Russian attempts to interfere in US elections 2020 have already been well documented. In February 2020, US intelligence officers warned lawmakers that Russia was about to help both Donald Trump and Democratic aspiring candidate Bernie Sanders. Some of these efforts were described by social media investigation company Graphika in a report published in October 2019, which includes ample evidence of this process. Facebook also repeatedly suspended Russian accounts targeting US voters in the last months of 2019. This is part of a recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative denying Russia’s interference in foreign elections despite overwhelming evidence, both in the US and in other countries. You can see other examples of disinformation about this subject, such as allegations that neither the US Intelligence Committee report nor the Mueller report found any evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, that there is no proof that Russia tried to influence the Brexit referendum or about the role played by RT and Sputnik in these and other processes, that “absurd” accusations against Russia are an attempt to demonise it, or that the US and UK are indeed the ones who try to interfere in Europe.
