RE: Nuclear DisInfo
Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova: Mechanisms for information attacks with a new thesis that target the public space have been launched in the West at the highest level in a transboundary and trans-format manner. The thesis is primitive and completely horrifying: the Russians are threatening a nuclear war, and the Russians are waving the nuclear stick. Do I even need to say that this thesis is absolutely incorrect and false? Apparently, I do.
They are pushing this exact thesis because it plays on basic human fears, the experience of the older generation, which throughout the second half of the 20th century was bracing for the Third World War against global communism, and Western youth, for which their respective governments have come up with a new mechanism called “cancel culture” (cancelling everything Russian this time). Moreover, the West absolutely does not care what Moscow says, and the meaning of words is distorted and outwardly perverted. Let’s consider the specifics. [Also on MFA Telegram]
