DISINFO: Globalists tried to assassinate Trump to prolong the war in Ukraine
SUMMARY
Organisers of recent assassination attempts on several high-level politicians in various countries, including Donald Trump in the US, are interested in prolongation of the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Globalists see any politician with a peaceful mission as their enemy and aim at provoking civil wars. A domestic military conflict in Ukraine is one example. US neo-conservatives planned to provoke chaos in the US and so the shooter was allowed to make at least five shots at Trump. Biden’s slip of tongue at the Nato summit, calling Ukraine “Uranus”, is noteworthy because in Greek mythology Uranus was the son of Chaos.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory not backed by any evidence, aiming to exploit the attempted assassination of former US president Donald Trump to advance recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about global elites and the US Deep State. The publication also attempts to shift responsibility for Russia’s Ukraine’s invasion onto them.
Russia launched an unprovoked and unjustified large-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 and so it is not a “domestic military conflict” as described in the publication. The EU, the US and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms this act of aggression.
The shooter who tried to kill Trump has been positively identified as 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Although his motives remain unclear, his former classmates described him as conservative-leaning and as a “misfit” and a “loner”. There is nothing indicating that he may be linked to any broader conspiracy.
It is true that Donald Trump has repeatedly said that he will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours after he becomes president. The manipulative part of the disinformation message is in hinting that Trump was shot because he had said he wanted talks with Putin on Ukraine. This claim is baseless.
Promoting conspiracy theories is a frequent pro-Kremlin technique to sow mistrust in institutions in democratic countries. See other examples in our database, such as claims that the West is behind the attempt on Slovak PM Robert Fico's life, that JFK was assassinated by Israel which controls US deep-state, and that globalists aim to destroy Russia because Russia supports transition to a multipolar world order.
