DISINFO: US is to bomb "old continent" as an "escape" from Russian threat for its allies

SUMMARY

The United States is working to bomb the territory of the "old continent" with thermonuclear weapons as an "escape" option from the "Russian threat" for its European allies and partners.

RESPONSE

A disinformation narrative that portrays the United States as the puppet master deciding on the destiny of the European continent.

There is nothing to suggest that the United States is working to bomb European countries. This narrative appeared in relation to the Steadfast Noon military exercise. It is a NATO-led exercise with dozens of aircraft from across the Alliance practising the defence of NATO’s European Allies. It is hosted by a different NATO country each year. Steadfast Noon involves training flights with dual-capable fighter jets, as well as conventional jets, backed by surveillance and refuelling aircraft. No live weapons are used.
