DISINFO: The USA is trying to encircle Russia

SUMMARY

The USA is trying to encircle Russia and is preparing for war. This is also proved by Zbigniew Brzezinski’s recent statements.

RESPONSE

This claim ignores the facts of geography. Russia's land border is just over 20,000 kilometres long. Of that, 1,215 kilometres, or less than one-sixteenth, face current NATO members (bit.ly/21G4hHE), . Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about encircled Russia.
