History Does Not Defend Itself

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 00:26

An anonymous text in Spanish, with the appearance of a confidential dossier, has been circulating on WhatsApp and social media. The document presents a narrative about the relations between Russia, Washington and NATO since 2001, claiming that Russia placed itself at Washington's service in the fight against terrorism and that, in return, NATO humiliated it with the largest expansion in its history.

The text also states that Putin reacted like a "wounded lion" by invading Crimea in 2008, being subsequently punished with sanctions. The document also includes references to China, although the final part of the text appears cut off.

The article, titled "History Does Not Defend Itself," comes as a response to this circulation of disinformation, warning that distorted historical narratives need to be challenged and corrected.

The unidentified text that is being shared presents chronologically incorrect facts, such as the date of the Crimea invasion, suggesting that this is deliberate disinformation that requires rigorous historical verification.
