DISINFO: Poland is “drug-addicted” to the USA in all matters
SUMMARY
Roughly speaking, it is not Poland who decides about the direction of its foreign policy. In fact, the Polish political elites are “drug-addicted” to the USA in all matters. Simply, they look at the actions of Washington and repeat them. Often, Poland even forgets that it is a member of the European Union.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about “lost sovereignty”. Poland is often presented as a “puppet-state” or "colony" of the United States. This narrative includes a message that the United States manipulates Poland and other European allies in order to carry out its anti-Russian policies.
The claim that Poland does not decide about its foreign policy is a conspiracy theory. Poland is an independent state, which shapes its own foreign and domestic policies. The advanced political, economic and military relations between Poland and the United States have a mutually beneficial character.
