Disinfo: US is living a “colour revolution” and neither candidate won’t concede

Summary

The current elections refute the well-known story that the only country in the world where a “colour revolution” is impossible in the United States because it lacks an American embassy.

These days, it looks as if the United States has opened an American embassy on its soil. The elections are conducted according to the “colour revolution” scenario, as none of the candidates is prepared to admit the victory of his opponent. Both are preparing street protests, a “Black Lives Matter” project of chaos and vandalism and looting in major cities.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the racial justice protests in the US and the current US Presidential elections in addition to colour revolutions.

The claim of a "colour revolution" is made without evidence and fits squarely with the Kremlin's view that no mass protest or civil uprising can take place without manipulation by cynical actors behind the scenes. See here for our analysis of this narrative, with examples.

Furthermore, the protests against racial injustice and police brutality broke out in the US, besides the Black Lives Matters, after the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis on the 25 May 2020. The protests followed several high-profile incidents involving African Americans and the police, invoking debates about racism in the US.

Also, no evidence was provided that violent protests involving Black Lives Matters or others will erupt after the November elections.

Read previous cases claiming that the US riots are a Maidan-style plot to oust Trump and that the US is suffering from a colour revolution it used to support abroad, and that the systemic collapse of the American society is now obvious; and that the US is on the verge of the civil war.

This article also had another claim that the Russian electoral system is one of the most advanced worldwide.

OLD DR // British Special Services the main initiators of the Karabakh conflict

Both countries (Armenia and Azerbaijan) are by no means the main subjects of a carefully prepared adventure, rather they are its tools and victims. The main initiators of the conflict, are Turkey and the British Special Services, and this operation is directed against the Russian Federation and, in part, Iran.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory about the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about an aggressive West and Russia as the ultimate target of international events.

While Turkey does not hide its support to Azerbaijan, and would stand “with all its resources and heart” behind Baku, Armenia had its own supporters. There is no evidence that any Western foreign special services had anything to do with the 2020 military escalation between Armenia and Azerbaijan, much less with the purpose of benefitting from a confrontation between Russia and Turkey.

“Sputnik V” criticism is based on financial motives

The criticism of the “Sputnik V” vaccine is nothing more than an example of a protracted competition between Russia and the United States, which in this case is based on financial motives.

Disproof

This is part of a pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign on the Russian coronavirus vaccine called “Sputnik V”, which was met with scepticism and criticism, even by Russian specialists.

Reservations about the Russian Sputnik V vaccine are caused by the fact that Russia didn’t complete the large trials which WHO insists that a vaccine must undergo involving thorough testing to examine the vaccine’s safety and efficacy before it is released. Rolling out an inadequately vetted vaccine could endanger the people receiving it.

Latvia is preparing for Russian invaders

Latvia, Russia’s closest neighbour in the Baltics, is conducting extremely active military propaganda. The country is not only increasing military spending, but also persistently promoting the idea of defence against “Russian invaders”.

Disproof

A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative on Russophobia in the Baltic states and military exercises.

Most countries conduct military training, and Latvia's scheduled event cannot be described as "military propaganda".
