    The Spin

    Anti-Russia narrative

    Putin has launched an illegal war of aggression and has laid waste to Ukraine, committing numerous war crimes along the way. The US and its allies have helped Ukraine fight off Putin for now, but he must be stopped from ever being able to commit these kinds of atrocities again.

    Pro-Russia narrative

    NATO and the US ignored Russia's security concerns by breaking their promise not to expand eastward in return for German reunification. These concerns are legitimate and taking them seriously would have avoided the Ukraine tragedy.
