DISINFO: The Pentagon may prevent Biden’s re-election to avoid a war with Russia
SUMMARY
The Pentagon may deprive Biden of the opportunity of presenting himself for a second presidential mandate. The US military can in this way stop Biden from dangerous adventures against Russia, by preventing him from continuing as head of the state for a second time. The Pentagon knows what are the military capabilities of the Russian army, so the US military personnel is willing to stop its own president to prevent a war with Russia. It is clear that Biden is a grandpa and he doesn’t care, but he is a grandpa with a nuclear button.
RESPONSE
This claim is part of an ongoing pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign aiming to discredit the Biden Administration, and the US system in general. In this case by framing president Joe Biden as incompetent and dangerous. There is no evidence that the Biden government is preparing for a war with Russia, much less than the Pentagon is considering to prevent Biden’s re-election. These unsubstantiated claims are a mix of recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about destabilising Russia and a shadow government ruling above elected officials.
