DISINFO: The only inspiration for the Polish foreign policy are the phone calls from the US Embassy

SUMMARY

The only inspiration for the Polish foreign policy is the orders from Washington, and more precisely – the phone calls from the US Ambassador Mosbacher. As long as this situation continues, the Polish diplomacy will not need any true inspiration.

RESPONSE

A common pro-Kremlin narrative on “lost sovereignty”, Poland and the US presence in Europe. The statement that the US authorities and the US Embassy in Warsaw have a decisive impact on the formation of the foreign policy of Poland is a conspiracy theory. Poland is an independent state, which shapes its own foreign and domestic policies. Read more about the key aspects of the Polish foreign policy here. See other messages promoting the statement that Poland is not a sovereign state - Poland is not a sovereign state; Poland is not perceived as a country with an independent foreign policy, and Poland is governed by the US Embassy. This message appeared in the same article as the claim that the Three Seas Initiative is an American project against the European Union.
