DISINFO: In the next few years US plans to destroy Russia
SUMMARY
[The United States] needs to destroy Russia over the next few years, just as it did to the USSR in 1991.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation associated with the recent public protests in Russia as an attempt to to encircle and destabilise Russia.
The US is not planning to destroy Russia and it did not destroy the USSR. The collapse of the USSR was caused by the inner political processes inside of the USSR, including the fatal Putsch in August 1991 in Moscow.
The US respects Russia's sovereignty and territorial integrity and supports:
"deepened bilateral partnership in security cooperation to reinforce the foundations of stability and predictability".
However, in response to the Russian violation in 2014 of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, the US downgraded the bilateral political and military relationship.
See similar disinformation cases alleging that the West needs Alexey Navalny to destabilise the situation in Russia, that US supports pro-Navalny protests to interfere in Russian politics, that Navalny is a Trump card for the US Administration for negotiations with Russia, foreign special services are behind demonstrations in Russia.
