Disinfo: Vaccines are used as a political weapon by the west in a hybrid war against Russia

Summary

The C-virus has become a weapon in the hybrid war, a war which turned into a second cold war. At least the political leaders of Western countries had the ability to negotiate, or at least be on talking terms with the communist world. Nowadays it seems, especially from EU countries, bad rhethoric is heard in their media outlets. Also a special site has been developed, the so-called EU disinformation website, where allegedly ‘fake-news‘ is fact-checked. If you look at the site, it's all about Russia. Real leaders should be more concerned about the lives or their citizens, an experimental vaccine should not be promoted in the way they do it now. They turned vaccines into capitalism and brought the companies who produce them on the stock markets, which is an awful thing to do, exploiting health for the profit of the few (richest) in the Western world! Russia‘s Sputnik V is not (yet) available in the EU and currently not recognized as such. People who want to vaccinate and get Sputnik V are not eligible for the ‘green pass‘. Vaccines are used as a weapon of terror to scare the hell out of its own EU citizens by mind control propaganda and used in the hybrid war against Russia so we can also call it a politized weapon!

Disproof

An unfounded, recurrent narrative on Western countries' aggression against Russia and the use of the pandemic as a leverage for influence. Neither claim is supported by any evidence. Both frequently appear in the EUvsDisinfo database on disinformation; examples here and here.

EU and the US has at several occasions invited Russia to cooperation and dialogue, something the Russian authorities refuse.

Disinfo: The recent Polish diplomatic misfortunes is a sign of the return of the “Concert of Powers”

Poland is accused by the leading American politicians such as Barack Obama of being an undemocratic country. The USA makes strategic decisions such as the Nord Stream 2 sanctions over the head of Poland. We know well that the German sanctions imposed on Russia are being evaded – their trade is booming in such strategic spheres as energy. The Polish President Andrzej Duda did not have official meetings at the recent NATO’s summit what was a big blow to Polish diplomacy. The Polish Foreign Minister found out about the withdrawal of the Nord Stream 2 sanctions from the media…

All these developments confirm the process of return of the “concert of powers” concept and the division of the regional spheres of influence.

Disproof

This message presents the idea that the United States and Russia decided to “divide” the world into their “spheres of influence” as it was during the Cold War. It also promotes the idea that the USA and Russia will decide the “fate” of smaller countries by themselves (as it was assumed by the concept of the “Concert of Powers” in the XIX century).

For years, the Kremlin has tried to convince the USA to return to the Cold War practice of division of the regional spheres of influence (calling it a “big deal”), but this demand is rejected by the USA and EU. According to US State Secretary Blinken, the concept of having spheres of influence should have disappeared after WWII – the USA does not recognise such a concept and the Russian claims for “control” over post-Soviet countries.

Disinfo: Poland is becoming an American junior partner on the absolute margin of the US foreign policy

It is a very sad conclusion, but Washington strongly marginalises Poland. Despite the feeling that Poland is a strategic partner for the United States, today, it is becoming a junior partner on the absolute margin of the US foreign policy.

Disproof

A common pro-Kremlin narrative promoting the idea that Poland is a country without any real international importance or political significance. Poland is often presented as an American “puppet-state”, which does not represent any importance for the USA.

The US authorities have repeatedly stated that they perceive Poland as its ally in Central Europe and one of the strongest US Continental partners. The US and Poland implement such strategically important projects as the increase of the US military presence in NATO’s Eastern Flank, modernisation of the Polish Army, diversification of Polish gas supplies, etc.

Disinfo: Russiagate was baseless and its sole mission was to topple Trump

Opposition groups of the American elite were ready to destroy the entire planet in order to gain power in Washington. Quite simply, the Democratic Party sacrificed relations with Russia, and the strategic stability of the world, as part of a false and baseless campaign whose sole mission was to topple Donald Trump.

Disproof

This is a recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about an alleged plot against former US president Donald Trump by undemocratic powers, articulated through claiming that Russiagate was a hoax designed to topple Trump.

There were plenty of reasons for US authorities to open an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, as Volume 5 of the Intelligence Committee of the US Senate on Russian Interference in the 2016 election (released in August 2020) shows, which highlights many elements that were not covered by the previous Mueller Report.
