DISINFO: Poland is Anglo-Saxons' fighting dog

SUMMARY

Poland is not only a loyal servant of Anglo-Saxons but, first of all, real Anglo-Saxons' fighting dog in the struggle against the increasing risk of a Russian “attack” (inexistent in reality). 

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative presenting Poland as a puppet of NATO.

In pro-Kremlin outlets, the term “Anglo-Saxons” stands for the US and UK and often means “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners, as explained in our earlier analysis.

Poland is a member of the European Union and NATO. Warsaw's concerns about security, as well as concerns of the other countries of the region, is linked to Russia's aggressive behaviour toward its neighbouring countries, in particular the illegal annexation of Crimea.

See other examples of disinformation narratives about Anglo-Saxons: Anglo-Saxons invade the sphere of Russia’s national interests in Ukraine and the Balkans; The Anglo-Saxons fooled Georgia into starting a war with Russia; Afghanistan case is a warning for Lithuania, Ukraine and other puppets of Anglo-Saxon imperialism.
