DISINFO: US government and military are conducting a cultural war against traditional American values

SUMMARY

The US government and the US military are conducting a cultural war against traditional American morals and values.

As the Taliban were preparing to approach Kabul, the US Embassy in Kabul twitted that June was recognised as LGBT+ month. This highlights the fact that the US government is more interested in waging a cultural war rather than a real war.

American élites are intellectually and morally bankrupt. They are tearing our country apart by promoting neo-racism and gender theories. They are destroying American education for the sake of a Marxist idea of “equity”.

RESPONSE

The article repeats a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative claiming that Western governments and “globalist elites” seek to undermine traditional values. The article’s message is also consistent with the disinformation theme about disintegration and civil war in the United States, and with the broader narrative about the decadence of the West.

There is no evidence to support the article’s claims that the US government and military are waging “a cultural war against traditional American morals and values” and that they are tearing American society apart by promoting “neo-racism and gender theories”.

Pro-Kremlin outlets often use gender-based narratives targeting LGBTI+ people. Such narratives lie at the heart of the Kremlin’s self-identification as a global force opposed to a decadent and morally corrupt West – positioning Russia as the protector of traditional values (such as the conventional family) and as the saviour of European civilisation.

Predictions about a US civil war or disintegration of the US, caused by moral collapse, racial conflicts, or other factors, have been a common pro-Kremlin narrative since the fall of the Soviet Union and have been increasingly emphasised by various pro-Kremlin outlets since the 2020 racial justice protests in the US and the US presidential elections.
