Disinfo: US assassinated Iranian General Soleimani to plunge the Middle East into chaos

Summary

US assassinated Iranian General Soleimani in order to plunge the Middle East into a state of chaos from which only the US and its allies, especially Israel, will emerge as victorious. The USA’s efforts to reshape the Middle East aim to implement Brzezinski’s doctrine for the partition of Russia and to preventively contain China.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the US and Western foreign policies allegedly promoting chaos around the world and pursuing a belligerent and hostile agenda against Russia and China.

The US strike that killed General Soleimani is the latest in a series of escalations between Iran and the United States in the region and, most recently, in Iraq.

Read here a similar case claiming that the West’s geopolitical goal is to destroy the alternative poles of power – Russia and China – because they challenge the unipolar liberal world order.

Disinfo: The Poles thanked Hitler for exterminating the Jews

Immediately after the war between Germany and Poland ended, a thousand delegates from the Polish Peasants’ Party voted in favour of a resolution in which they thanked (Adolf) Hitler for the extermination of the Polish Jews and demanded the expulsion of the survivors.

Disproof

A recurring disinformation message that is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism.

This passage refers back to the 2006 review of the book entitled "Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland After Auschwitz," by Jan T. Gross, where David Margolick writes: "With the war over, and to tumultuous applause, a thousand delegates of the Polish Peasants Party actually passed a resolution thanking Hitler for annihilating Polish Jewry and urging that those he'd missed be expelled."

Disinfo: The US contributed to the creation of ISIS

The United States once contributed to the creation of “ISIS” in order for it to act as a force against Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and to balance the Shiite presence in Iraq.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives that the US and other Western countries are supporting and using jihadist groups to advance geopolitical goals.

There is no evidence that the US has supported radical Islamist terrorist groups in Syria or in Iraq. The US-led military campaign in Syria has been fighting ISIS and Islamic terrorists along with the Global Coalition Against Daesh. See here for similar cases on the United States using ISIS for guerrilla and subversive activities and how the US and Europe supported Jihadists in Syria to topple the Assad regime.

Disinfo: Poles obsessively try to whitewash Hitler's history

Poles are obsessively attempting to whitewash Hitler’s history after President Vladimir Putin exposed the relationship between Poland and Nazi Germany, and then they begin to accuse the Soviet Union of igniting World War II.

On December 24, Putin called the former Polish ambassador to Nazi Germany, who proposed setting up a statue of Hitler for his promise to expel the Jews to Africa, as “a bastard and anti-Semitic pig.”

The meeting between Hitler and the Polish ambassador Józef Lipski was not the first occasion at which the “Jewish question” was discussed between representatives of Nazi Germany and the government of Poland at the time.

The “Jewish issue” was discussed regularly between the two sides, and on October 24, 1938, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop announced in a meeting with the aforementioned Polish ambassador that he “sees the question of colonialism and the transfer of Jews as a possibility for cooperation between Poland and Germany.”

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative professing the unimpeachability of Soviet decision-making before and during the Second World War; minimizing the role of the 1939-41 Nazi-Soviet alliance in provoking conflict; and accusing Poland of historical revisionism.

The Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939 is an objective fact, not an exercise in revisionism. This two-sided aggression was waged in accordance with the provisions of the Nazi-Soviet pact, which entitled the Third Reich and the USSR to clearly defined spheres of influence in a series of secret protocols.
