Poland began an informational sabotage provocation against Russia
The other day, the operator of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline reported that the Polish Navy and Air Force had become active in the pipeline area. The company called what was happening provocations that pose a danger to the implementation of the project.
What goals does Warsaw pursue in the Baltic? Polish political scientist Mateusz Piskorski talks about this in his author’s column for PolitNavigator.
Information about Polish provocations in the Baltic Sea related to attempts to complicate the completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is in fact part of an information sabotage operation. Her goal is one of the last desperate attempts to stop the project.
It is difficult to imagine that the Polish Navy is preparing for serious plans for an armed operation. It's also not about intelligence activity. Everything is much simpler: the Polish side has never hidden that, realizing the interests of the American energy sector, it is ready to resort to any methods in order not only to stop (it is not able to do this), but to slow down the project, which will increase the supply of Russian gas to Europe . Warsaw is preparing for an information campaign, possibly coordinating its actions with American specialists.
Evidence of this is the article by the press secretary of the Polish intelligence services, an active participant in a number of disinformation campaigns Stanislav Zharyn, published on the American portal DefenseNews, which lobbies the interests of the defense industry. The title of the article speaks for itself: “Putin’s gas pipeline of aggression.” It gets even more fun from there.
Zharyn asserts in all seriousness that Nord Stream 2 will be used for Russian intelligence activities against the collective West. Zharyn does not explain how this is technically possible. Also, according to the Polish propagandist, the construction of Nord Stream 2 will lead to an increased presence of the Russian Baltic Fleet... in the Baltic.
Zharyn’s conclusion is already a classic of the genre: “The money that Russia can earn by selling gas to Europe through Nord Stream 2 will be used by the Kremlin to destabilize the West through poisonings (for example, Sergei Skripal and Alexei Navalny), disinformation campaigns, interference into democratic processes, cyber attacks, coups, armed aggressions.”
Zharyn’s article was republished in a number of Polish media. The author was satisfied - here’s another publication, nothing that the site doesn’t even have information about the editor-in-chief, but the information resource is American and has a serious name. The number of readers is small. But those few site visitors who read Zharyn’s article left rather unambiguous comments. User Norah Dean: “Or maybe the author of this text also believes that the Moon is made of cheese? God, how can a gas pipeline pose a threat from a counterintelligence point of view? Joe Vick is jealous of the author: “No matter what you're stoned on, friend, I want that!” In Poland, the author's arguments were taken seriously. Reprinted and discussed.
Stanislav Zharyn.
The events in the Baltic Sea are in fact the beginning of another black PR campaign against Nord Stream 2. However, if Zharyn and people of his intellectual level are involved in this campaign, its effectiveness will be close to zero. Therefore, we should most likely expect the appearance of other, more professional performers.
