Disinfo: The US want to drag Russia into war

Summary

The US and NATO seek to escalate the conflict with Russia. If the US will not cede its position, the war will be unavoidable. But the US elites do not want to wage nuclear war with Russia. In this situation, they need war in Ukraine to drag Russia into it.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about NATO, belligerent West and war in Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine is a well-documented act of aggression by Russian armed forces since February 2014 and there is irrefutable evidence of direct and ongoing Russian military involvement in Eastern Ukraine since then. The involvement of Russian personnel and equipment has been well documented for years and includes firing artillery over the border into Ukraine, the deployment of armoured vehicles and troops in contested provinces of Eastern Ukraine, the use of non-state actors such as Russian private military companies, and the launching of thousands of cyber attacks against Ukrainian targets.

In the beginning of 2022, on 4-6 January, the EU High Representative Josep Borrell visited Ukraine, including Kyiv and the Stanytsya Luhanska check point - see his statement / blog here on the consequences of the war. The High Representative said, inter alia:

“I could eyewitness the consequences of the war in the Donbass region and hear and see how the conflict has dramatically affected the lives of thousands of people, with many destinies destroyed. ...

Russia is a party to this conflict, and not a mediator as it often claims. Our main interest, concern and purpose is to get Russia to de-escalate tensions.”

Neither US nor NATO seek conflict or escalation thereof with Russia. On contrary, NATO has repeatedly urged Russia to deescalate situation in Ukraine, respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and return to diplomacy to solve its regional differences.

Disinfo: NATO lies blatantly and expands to the East

The West, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, gave guarantees that NATO would not expand to the east. It was blatantly lying, and today we see it clearly.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about NATO enlargement.

This claim has been debunked numerous times. NATO did not promise not to expand into eastern and central Europe back in 1990, which was confirmed by the former president of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev. Back in 2014, Gorbachev said “The topic of ‘NATO expansion was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991.”

Disinfo: UK-led Deep State failed in Kazakhstan due to Russian ultimatum

Back in 1891, a secret “Round Table” community came into existence aiming to create the worldwide British empire. They started WWI, brought Hitler to power, and created the financial apparatus of the the London-led Deep State and its security services.

Over time, the Deep State broke up the USSR by helping Khrushchev and Gorbachev to come to power. Following the USSR collapse, their main goal became to disintegrate Russia. MI6 head Powell, de facto the head of Deep State’s intelligence service, planned a Libyan scenario in Kazakhstan for spring 2022. However, Ryabkov’s ultimatum made the Brits hurry up and start special operations in early January instead of March. In the end, the Deep State failed.

Disproof

This case frames events in Kazakhstan into a big conspiracy about a secret, UK-led Deep State that dominates the world. It also rewrites the course of historical events such as the provocation of two world wars and the USSR break up. Read our past analysis: "Why authoritarians love the concept of the big conspiracy."

The case also seeks to lay the responsibility on the UK-led Deep State for the unrest in Kazakhstan which is fueled by high gas prices and social discontent in Kazakh society. There is no factual evidence neither about the existence of such a UK-led Deep State and its overwhelming influence on world politics nor about its vicious plans concerning Kazakhstan. There is also no evidence whatsoever that the timing of unrest in Kazakhstan is related to Russia's ultimatum of late December 2021 concerning a new security deal with NATO.

Disinfo: Lithuania and Latvia refuse to help Belarus in investigation of genocide of Belarusians during WWII

Belarus sent a request to several countries for legal assistance investigating the genocide of Belarusians during World War II. Lithuania and Latvia refused to help Minsk find fascists still hiding abroad guilty of genocide in Belarus

Jan 10, 2022
Disproof

A recurring accusation from pro-Kremlin media accusing the Baltic states of sympathies to Nazi/Fascists.

Lithuania and Latvia declined the invitation from the Belarus regime because the case in question lacks evidence and is based on doubtful legal and historical grounds (see public broadcaster LRT's publication “Minsk seeks to extradite members of ‘Lithuanian SS battalion’ that never existed”).
