DISINFO: Joe Biden is driven by childish fears of Russia

SUMMARY

Joe Biden behaves like a little kid driven by childish fears of Russia. Russia showed that it is a peaceful state, which has no plans to attack anyone (unlike the US).

RESPONSE

A recurring narrative accusing the US and its leader Joe Biden of groundless anti-Russian position. This is part of a current disinformation campaign aiming to deflect attention away from Russia’s military buildup on its border with Ukraine since late October 2021.

Contrary to the claim, reports and expressions of concern on military preparations and mobilisation of Russian troops is not a “campaign against Russia” driven by 'childish fears', but a fact confirmed by satellite images and intelligence of the US, Ukraine and NATO, among other countries and institutions.

Russia is not a peaceful state. To prove this statement it is enough to mention two conflicts Russia was involved in its newest history: the Russo-Georgian war in 2008 and the war in Ukraine (since 2014). The latter is a well-documented act of aggression by Russian armed forces, ongoing since February 2014. In relation to the ongoing Russian military build-up near Ukraine's borders and on occupied Crimea, NATO and EU have called on Russia to deescalate tension.
