Accusations of Western “double standards” and “rewriting history”

What it claims

Western institutions and leaders are accused of a selective approach to international law and the deliberate distortion of historical memory. Propaganda contrasts the sanctions against Belarus with the lack of reaction to Morocco's actions, while claiming that the US role in the Hiroshima bombing is being silenced to demonise Russia.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• The UN Secretary-General deliberately avoids mentioning the US as the perpetrator of the Hiroshima bombing in order to accuse Russia of nuclear blackmail.

• The West punishes Belarus with sanctions over a few hundred migrants but ignores the actions of Morocco, which uses thousands of people to pressure Spain.

Goal

Undermine Polish trust in international institutions (UN, EU) and allies by portraying them as cynical manipulators who weaponise history and law against Russia and Belarus.

Techniques used

• WhataboutismComparing the situation on the Spanish border with sanctions against Belarus to discredit Western policy.
• Appeal to Fear / PrejudicePredicting that in 20 years the world will believe that Russia bombed Hiroshima.

The real grievance it exploits

The narrative exploits a sense of injustice and fatigue regarding the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, as well as general distrust of political elites.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Propaganda uses distraction tactics by comparing incomparable situations to justify Belarus's aggressive actions on the Polish border.
• Reframe: A reminder that sanctions against the Lukashenko regime are a response to the systemic use of migration as a hybrid weapon against the EU, not just the fact of border crossing.
