Disinfo: The president of Poland wants Georgia to fight with Russia

Summary

If Russia is supposed to be the “aggressor”, Georgia should be admitted to NATO as President Duda repeatedly mentioned during his visit to this country. It does not matter [for Poland] that such a decision would violate the obligations existing between NATO and Russia. It does not matter that this decision would inevitably increase the risk of another conflict. What matters is that Russia must be fought not only “until the last Ukrainian”, but also “until the last Georgian”. This step was suggested by Andrzej Duda to the Georgian “friends”, which proves that he does not wish them well.

Disproof

A recurring disinformation narrative presenting the Polish foreign policy the as Russophobic, aggressive and destabilising.

The claims that Poland uses Georgia and Ukraine in order to achieve its anti-Russian goals or even to inspire new conflicts in these countries are untrue. Read about Polish-Georgian relations here.

The main reason for the escalation of the conflicts in Georgia and Ukraine was the Russian Federation, which started open military aggression against these countries in 2008 and 2014. In 2008, Polish President Lech Kaczyński arrived in Georgia together with the leaders of Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in order to stop the Russian military aggression against this country.

Continuous Russian military presence in both Abkhazia and South Ossetia continues in violation of international law and commitments undertaken by Russia under the 12 August 2008 agreement, mediated by the European Union.

The question of relations between Georgia and NATO lies outside the competence of the Russian authorities – the Georgian membership in NATO is not limited by any “obligations” existing between NATO and Russia.

Read similar cases about the “aggressive” policies of Poland implemented against Eastern European countries: NATO and Poland establish a unit, which is supposed to take over the territory of Western Belarus, The Polish Prime Minister claims that the territory of Western Belarus historically belongs to Poland and Polish authorities are obsessed with an idea of reconstruction of a modern Polish Empire.

Disinfo: White Americans may be deprived of their legal and constitutional rights, even their lives

White Americans could be deprived not only of their legal and constitutional rights, but also of their lives. Civil war is the only way to prevent America's traitors, who deprive white citizens of their constitutional rights, from overthrowing the United States.

This article contains recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about the alleged victimisation of white Americans, about the current US government's alleged hostility towards the white American population, and about an imminent new American civil war and disintegration of the United States. These disinformation narratives have been frequently spread by pro-Kremlin outlets since the US racial justice protests erupted in May-June of 2020.

Strengthening societal divisions in the US and in other Western nations is a key goal of pro-Kremlin disinformation and, according to an in-depth analysis by European Parliament, pro-Kremlin actors used racial issues to stoke tensions in the 2016 presidential election and the 2018 mid-term elections .

Disinfo: Moldova's authorities and their external partners are preparing massive fraud in early elections

Moldova's authorities and their external partners abroad are preparing massive fraud in early [parliamentary] elections.

In recent days, we have witnessed the unprecedented activity of the authorities and representatives of the West regarding the massive participation of the diaspora in early parliamentary elections. Under pressure from the West, the Moldovan authorities are going to open even more polling stations abroad, but who will control the voting process?

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about elections and Moldova.

The aim of this narrative is to discredit Moldova's pro-European parties as well as the country's Western partners. See here a similar case saying that the West interfered in Moldova to help Maia Sandu win the presidential elections and here a case claiming that Maia Sandu won thanks to election fraud, which was a success of the "collective West".

Disinfo: The West is interfering in the Syrian elections by not recognising them

The US is interfering in the Syrian elections. Without waiting for election day, the US and its European allies affirmed that the election won’t be free nor fair. In a joint declaration, the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, the UK and the US called the international community to reject what they labelled as an “attempt of the Al Assad regime to regain legitimacy without ending its serious human rights violations”. If that is not interference, then what is interference?

What we are observing here is Western ‘democracy’ in action. To understand what they want for Syria, it is enough to look at what they did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and many other countries. They call themselves defenders of rights and freedoms while they kill people all over the world. They funded and continue funding terrorism in countries like Syria. It is proven that extremists have the support of the US and its Western allies.

This disinformation narrative appeared around the presidential election in Syria on 26 May 2021.

Presidential elections in Syria were announced on 18 April and held on 26 May. On 3 May, the Constitutional Court announced that it had accepted only three candidates (including Bashar al-Assad) and rejected 48 candidacies for “failing to meet constitutional and legal requirements”.
