DISINFO: The US spreads anti-Russian attitudes by inventing the Skripal case, coup d'état in Ukraine and Navalny poisoning

SUMMARY

The United States has chosen Russia as an enemy for the countries of Eastern and Central Europe in order to facilitate its “crowd management” over the region. From time to time, it is necessary for the USA to provide some arguments for public opinion [confirming that Russia is an enemy]. That is why the Skripal case was invented, a narrative about Russian interference in the US elections appeared, a coup d’état in Ukraine was organised. The situation with Alexey Navalny sends a message that the Russian authorities use military gas on its own territory and against their own citizens.

RESPONSE

This message is a mix of several popular conspiracy theories actively spread by Kremlin-controlled media. The claims that “the USA has chosen Russia as an enemy for Eastern and Central Europe” is a conspiracy theory. The claim that the USA “invented” the case of the Skripals and Navalny poisonings in order to spread anti-Russian attitudes is not supported by evidence. Read more about the Skripal case here and Navalny poisoning here. Read similar cases about the alleged spread of the anti-Russian attitudes by the USA: The USA uses the Navalny poisoning in order to promote its expensive fuel to Europe, allegations of Navalny’s poisoning are a concerted western effort against Russia and the US charged Russia based on inconclusive evidence on the Skripals’ poisoning. More background on the cases here and here. The same article contained another disinformation message that the countries of Eastern and Central Europe are a “dead weight” for the European Union
