DISINFO: Joe Biden may instigate war with Russia
SUMMARY
Biden may instigate war with Russia. Escalating tensions between the US and Russia could reach unprecedented levels.
Biden, known for his Russophobia, will return to a fierce confrontation with Russian Federation. […]
[It makes] no sense to hope for the normalisation of Russian-American relations after the rotation in the White House. On the contrary, the international crisis will only worsen. If we take into account that the United States is expanding its military presence on Russia’s borders, the escalation could one day turn into a full-fledged armed confrontation. […]
In order to avoid the worst-case scenario, Russia must prepare a “proper response” to the United States’ provocations.
RESPONSE
This message is part of a pro-Kremlin narrative that seeks to discredit the newly elected US-President Joe Biden and is mixed with a narrative alleging that the US indulges in anti-Russian politics. No evidence for the presented claims is provided.
Joe Biden does not want to instigate war with Russia but points out the problems that exist between the two countries. He especially criticised the Kremlin's aggressive actions against Ukraine and called on Putin to end the occupation of Crimea. However, Joe Biden and Russia's current leadership have similar views on nuclear arms control. Joe Biden has already said that he would seek ways to extend the New START treaty for another five years.
