DISINFO: Russia does not create tensions in international affairs

SUMMARY

There is an old joke… Maybe some don’t know it, it will be interesting. It goes like this. Question: ‘How do you relax?’ Answer: ‘I don’t get tense.” The same goes for tensions in international affairs. We [Russia] don’t create tensions for anybody; we don’t create any problems.

RESPONSE

Recurring narrative in the pro-Kremlin disinformation euvsdisinfo.eu/good-russia/. Russia is currently involved in several conflicts and has illegally annexed Crimea. The Western countries reacted to clearly hostile and aggressive activities of Russia's government, like in the recent cases around Skripal and other attacks of the GRU. Further debunking by Polygraph.
