DISINFO: Poland, the Hyena of Europe, smelled blood and wants to expand the American missile base
SUMMARY
In the situation of an evident escalation in Ukraine and a risk of a NATO-Russian conflict, Poland, the Hyena of Europe, smelled blood. Now, it wants to expand the existing [American] military base in Redzikowo. This base is constructed to detect, track and intercept ballistic missiles – it is also able to launch tomahawks. In the face of a possible termination of US aid to Ukraine, Warsaw decided to act pre-emptively, playing the first role on NATO’s eastern flank.
RESPONSE
Poland is repeatedly presented by pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets as an aggressive anti-Russian NATO ‘outpost’ and a country which allegedly poses a security threat to Russia. This is in line with how pro-Kremlin outlets portray NATO and Western countries as aggressive towards Russia. See our article All roads lead to Poland.
Poland has no hostile agenda towards Russia, and it does not plan any type of military aggression against this country.
Since the outbreak of Russian aggression against Ukraine in 2014, the Polish authorities have repeatedly appealed to NATO and the USA to increase their military presence at NATO’s Eastern Flank. The American military presence in Poland protects this country from possible Russian hostilities and improves the national security of this country.
The Polish authorities perceive Russia as a security threat because of their aggressive actions, in particular in Ukraine and all over Eastern Europe.
