Trump in Poland- analysis of fake news.

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

In today's world, information is flooded on each side, many of them are untrue and false information.

On the example of yesterday's visit to Trump in Poland, I would like to show you how it work.
Yesterday Donald Trump visited Poland, he had a speech and a press conference.

For the first analysis i will use this article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trump-affirms-the-polish-governments-assault-on-democracy/2017/07/06/e90ac592-625e-11e7-a4f7-af34fc1d9d39story.html?utmterm=.4d3a0dfd803e

The article was written by american journalist Anne Applebaum, she is married former old Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski.

"And in large part, the disaster was caused by the fact that none of the other allies — not Britain, obviously not the Soviet Union, and certainly not the United States — came to Poland’s defense, even though the resistance army believed they would."

Fake. Anne needs to study the battle of Warsaw before she pontificates. The Soviet Red Army stopped a few miles short of Warsaw, despite Churchill and Roosevelt's requests that the Red Army aid the Polish fighters, so that the Hitler could do Stalin's job for him by eliminating any significant Polish resistance to Soviet occupation .

In front of this monument to unfulfilled expectations of distant allies, this memorial to the horrors of a Europe riven by brutal nationalist struggle, Trump offered his support to a Polish government that is both the most nationalist in Europe and now the most isolated in Europe.

Next fake news. In Poland many European leaders met to talk about the Three Seas Initiative.

Twelve countries — Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria — are a part of the initiative
That mean you cant say that Poland is "isolated".

In essence, Trump called on Poland to help the United States in the struggle of Western civilization against Islamist terrorism — though at times he made it sound as if the real enemy were cultural, not political. He didn’t talk about the democratic values that would unite the West in this struggle, but of the ties of “God” and “family,” language designed to appeal to nationalist-Catholic Poles, but not to the whole country.

He was talking about democratic value, she is keep attacking nationalist-catholic people, she has clearly problem with them.

He did — after refusing to do so on his last trip — finally refer to Article 5, the part of the NATO treaty that says an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all. But earlier, at a news conference, he told journalists that he had not discussed military “guarantees” with Poland’s president. And after his speech, the American president known for his mendaciousness and untrustworthiness left Warsaw for his meeting with the Russian president.

I really need to comment this? This article is full of bullshit.
This is what Trump say:

There we were discussing warranties and really were not authorized to discuss them. But certainly we're here already for a long time, we have here a lot of soldiers, up to 5 thousand. and we're going to do it still. We will work with Poland, but not discussed warranty

Next

In truth, Poland, like its neighbors, will only ever be “safe” from Russian military intervention or political interference if the country is deeply integrated into a strong, cohesive, unified and democratic Europe. It will only be safe if its own democratic institutions are strong enough to withstand outside meddling. But right now, Poland is run by a political party, Law and Justice, that has launched an assault on the country’s democratic institutions and has, by doing so, managed to alienate all of its most important European neighbors.

Polish democratic is really ok. Look what happened G20 in democratic Germany

This article if full of fake news but it is easy to check where is true.

Bonus

Check this fake video.


And now what really happened

First she handed the wife's trump and then the trump. On the first video it is cut.

Sort:  

Great post - as far as the handshake goes, I was always taught that you should allow the woman to offer her hand first - in this case the woman clearly offers her hand to Melania and she shakes. I think Donald thought she was offering her hand to him. No big deal.
