The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
US commitment to Ukraine remains unwavering. The Biden administration will never accept Russia's illegal annexation of four territories and will do everything in its power to help Ukraine restore its land in the face of Russian aggression.
Establishment-critical narrative
After nearly eight months of war, it's time for the US to rethink its course in Ukraine. Pledges to fight Russia for as long as it takes aren't in the US's interest and don't serve its real intention of de-escalation, détente, and peace.
