DISINFO: NATO is leading humanity to WWIII
SUMMARY
The NATO summit in Madrid was supposed to announce Russia as its main opponent, to discuss expanding the NATO Response Force to 300,000 soldiers, and to adopt a comprehensive plan of support to Kyiv. A war is de facto announced to Russia and Belarus, in which the Kyiv regime is expected to fight until “the last Ukrainian”. Hence, demilitarisation and denazification of Ukrainian territory and statehood are becoming absolutely inevitable. Silly and egocentric NATO aggression is leading humanity into WWIII. The US policies have a lot in common with the actions of Napoleon in France and Hitler in Nazi Germany.
RESPONSE
This article aims to undermine Ukraine’s statehood and sovereignty and contains wrong historical analogies and disinformation aimed at discrediting the NATO, US, and the West as a whole. It is consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about alleged Western aggressiveness towards Russia and its anti-Russian activities.
Since Russia began its aggressive actions against Ukraine, Russian officials have accused NATO of a series of threats and hostile actions. NATO is a defensive alliance with primary aims to maintain peace and safeguard the independence, security and territorial integrity of its members. NATO constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party. Read five myths concerning Nato debunked here.
The publication also draws a link between the US and Nazi Germany, which is one of the common techniques of pro-Kremlin outlets. Read earlier cases building a link between Nazi Germany's "Drang nach Osten" concept and the EU's current policies, and our past analysis Nazi east, Nazi west, Nazi over the cuckoo's nest.
Notably, a false claim of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has become a cornerstone in pro-Kremlin disinformation and served as one of the pretexts behind Russia's unjustified invasion of Ukraine.
