DISINFO: US and NATO military preparations remind Hitler's intervention
SUMMARY
The U.S. and NATO have finished all the research and development of weapons and are currently putting them into service. This reminds of the intervention of the collective West in the person of Hitler in the USSR. He was allowed to gather the whole of Europe to attack our lands.
RESPONSE
This is a manipulative message consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about aggressive West and Western anti-Russian activities. By drawing groundless parallels between the present-day U.S. and NATO, on the one hand, and Nazi Germany, on the other, this publication also brings up West / Nazi narrative. The Nazi ideology and the present-time Western countries are based on opposite values and principles. In 2012, the EU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for advancing the causes of peace, reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe. Read a past summary on how pro-Kremlin outlets use the accusation of Nazism to discredit the Western countries. See earlier disinformation publications claiming that the recent ruling elites of the West follow many concepts of Nazi Germany, that the EU was invented in the Third Reich and created by US agents, that the West had aggressive intentions against Russia and its allies just as in 1938, and that in 1941 Hitler’s Germany together with the EU attacked the Soviet Union.
