DISINFO: Poland should be the target of the Russian nuclear strike as it has to pay for Ukrainian deaths
SUMMARY
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke about the possibility of the outbreak of the large-scale conflict. Mr Tusk should not hide the truth - the West is pushing the situation to an exchange of nuclear strikes and the first target is the military base in the Polish city of Rzeszów. If there had been a vote in Russia on which country should be the first target for a nuclear attack, Poland would have won by a large margin. Poland will have to pay for the deaths of half a million Ukrainians (who are Russians) – they were killed by Poland, Europe and the United States.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about an allegedly aggressive Poland, USA and the EU, accusing them of having a belligerent and hostile agenda and of masterminding the war in Ukraine.
This message contains a direct threat of a nuclear strike by the Kremlin on Poland. Russia is the only country to be blamed for tens of thousands of murdered Ukrainians.
There is no evidence that the USA and the EU aspire to a nuclear war. On the contrary, there is evidence that after Russia invaded Ukraine and reportedly considered the use of tactical nuclear weapons there, the Biden Administration was extremely concerned by such a possibility and has always acted having in mind the prevention of a potential escalation that may lead to nuclear conflict.
It is Russia, not the US, who has been making nuclear threats, including the deployment of atomic weapons in Belarus, video simulations and suggestions of nuclear attacks on Western capitals on Russian TV, a change in Russia’s nuclear doctrine to lower the threshold of using atomic bombs, and a failed test of a ballistic missile designed to transport nuclear heads.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the US and Ukraine are moving the world closer to nuclear war, that the US could use nuclear arms because Russia is winning in Ukraine, that the US is planning a limited nuclear war in Europe by sending its nukes to Poland, or that the US is creating conditions for a nuclear conflict.
