DISINFO: The Baltic States and Poland face a new aggressor: the United States

SUMMARY

The Baltic States and Poland face a new aggressor: the United States.

RESPONSE

The claim is based on an eight-month-old fake Trump statement that the Baltic States should move to Africa if they don’t like their neighborhood More details on StopFake. A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about US presence in Europe, portraying Europe as a vassal of the USA and trying to undermine the sovereignty of the West. Russian disinformation sources like to claim that almost all European countries are no longer truly sovereign and the United States dictate policies to the EU and its member states.
