DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Pentagon admits that US will be unable to protect Poland from a Russian invasion

SUMMARY

American soldiers will be unable to stop the Russian army in case of an invasion into the Baltic states and Poland.

RESPONSE

The Czech-language version of Russian website Sputnik cites an article published by The Washington Post, misinterpreting its content to suit its own purposes. While the original article talks about the long time it would take the US Army to arrive at its destination in the event of an invasion into the Baltics and Poland by Russia, the headline chosen by Sputnik only mentions Poland and the US's allegedly proclaimed inability to protect it.
