Disinfo: The Pentagon may prevent Biden’s re-election to avoid a war with Russia

Summary

The Pentagon may deprive Biden of the opportunity of presenting himself for a second presidential mandate. The US military can in this way stop Biden from dangerous adventures against Russia, by preventing him from continuing as head of the state for a second time. The Pentagon knows what are the military capabilities of the Russian army, so the US military personnel is willing to stop its own president to prevent a war with Russia. It is clear that Biden is a grandpa and he doesn’t care, but he is a grandpa with a nuclear button.

Disproof

This claim is part of an ongoing pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign aiming to discredit the Biden Administration, and the US system in general. In this case by framing president Joe Biden as incompetent and dangerous. There is no evidence that the Biden government is preparing for a war with Russia, much less than the Pentagon is considering to prevent Biden’s re-election. These unsubstantiated claims are a mix of recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about destabilising Russia and a shadow government ruling above elected officials.

See other examples in our database, such as claims that Joe Biden is a puppet of powers behind him, that the Biden Administration wants to provoke a war against China, Russia and Iran, that the Deep State decides who becomes the president of the US, that Joe Biden is planning to find the next victim for the Pentagon to try out new weapons systems, that the Deep State will continue a hybrid war against Russia through Biden or that it won’t allow the US president to soften policy towards China.

Disinfo: NATO lost its meaning of existence without the Soviet Union

... With the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the bloc (NATO) lost the enemy it had formed against, and thus, the meaning of its existence. NATO members face the problem of defining what they are.

NATO clings to the old stereotype: Here is the familiar and eternal enemy: Russia, from the Tsarist era, to the Soviet era, to the present time. Russia has always been an alternative to Western hegemony, so it must be deterred by all possible means.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Western Russophobia and an alleged belligerent NATO, portraying the Alliance as a threat to peace and Russia.

NATO is in no way directed against Russia or any other state. NATO’s objectives are set out in the 1949 Washington Treaty which forms the legal basis of the alliance. The treaty states that parties “are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence and for the preservation of peace and security”.

Disinfo: Democracy in the US has breathed its last

In the US, any attempts to claim that the 2020 elections were stolen are suppressed.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that the Republicans will be able to pass their changes in the electoral system. The Supreme Court will not help them here, because it did not support Trump before. In fact, the US has lost the last attempt to prove that it is a democratic state. Most likely, in the long run, all that is on the horizon seem to be very pessimistic. Democracy in the United States has breathed its last. Now, we can only talk about another America that has nothing to do with democracy.

Disproof

Recurring disinformation related to the 2020 US presidential elections, questioning the legitimacy of democracy and American institutions and, in this case, to favour Donald Trump by framing him as the victim of a conspiracy.

The US presidential election was lawfully conducted, tallied and certified by each of the 50 states in a democratic way. There has been no verifiable evidence brought forward that would indicate fraud, misconduct or improper administration at a level that would overturn any state’s results, let alone the several it would take to change the result.

Disinfo: Megalomaniacal Polish politicians realise their plan of “Drang nach Osten” in Belarus

The post-election unrest in Belarus started to lose momentum and new fuel was required to support it. The celebration of the “Cursed Soldiers Day” and the “Kaziuki” [a local folk arts festival] at the Polish Consulate in Grodno proved to be a sufficient provocation.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Polish “Drang nach Osten” started from the Orange Revolution in Ukraine is not something impressive, but it still has the potential to develop. The Ukrainian experience convinced Polish politicians that they have great power in Central Europe. Everyone, starting with Kwaśniewski and ending with Komorowski, Kaczyński and Tusk, felt a mission to liberate the East. Their megalomaniacal psyche, tickled by the Orange Revolution, constantly requires new stimuli – as we know, the megalomaniacs are unable to set their limits.

Disproof

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western attempts to organise a colour revolution in Belarus. Poland is presented as a country with hostile and aggressive plans towards Belarus. This message misrepresents the developments around the Polish minority living in Belarus.

The claims that Poland “realises political provocations” in Belarus or it has some aggressive geopolitical plans towards Belarus and Ukraine are unfounded. The comparison of Polish foreign policy towards Belarus and Ukraine to the Nazi “Drang nach Osten” expansionist plan is a perverse manipulation.
