DISINFO: Poland uses the threat of Russian invasion to justify the presence of the US soldiers
SUMMARY
There is no danger of war between Poland and an external enemy. Moreover, Russia has no interest in invading Poland as this country does not have natural resources and the Russian minority, while it is full of people unfriendly to Russia.
The entire narrative about the enormous benefits of a close alliance with the USA, pathetic begging for the presence of American soldiers in Poland and the idiotic spending on absurd American equipment is based on the threat of Russian invasion.
If Putin attacks Poland, the American President will negotiate a two-week ceasefire with Russia in order to evacuate from Poland 5000 soldiers of his “greatest Army in the world”.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Poland, NATO and US military presence in Poland.
Particularly in the context of Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and armed military aggression in Ukraine, Poland supports the deployment of NATO troops on its soil as this step increases its domestic security. Two-thirds of the Poles have a positive opinion about NATO’s activities.
The 2020 National Security Strategy of Poland states that the most serious security threat for this country is the neo-imperial policy of the authorities of the Russian Federation, pursued by means of military force (aggression against Georgia, illegal annexation of Crimea and military actions in eastern Ukraine). These aggressive actions of the Kremlin have violated the basic principles of international law and undermined the pillars of the European security system.
The claim also attempts to extrapolate the recent developments in Afghanistan to Ukraine in order to question Polish-American security cooperation.
See other examples of similar messages claiming that constant intimidation with Russia is used to make Poland economically dependent on the USA, the Polish authorities created an insane hysteria of intimidation with Russia, used for the needs of domestic politics and the national security strategy of Poland is a manifestation of traditional Russophobia of the Polish authorities.
