The Spin
Anti-Russia narrative
Putin is effectively taking the world hostage with his increasingly alarmist nuclear rhetoric. He has created an apocalyptic ultimatum: either he wins in Ukraine or he'll ensure the globe faces nuclear annihilation.
Pro-Russia narrative
Russia has consistently reaffirmed that there are no winners in a nuclear war and that such a conflict must never be unleashed. America is whipping up a frenzy with its nuclear rhetoric and anti-Russian aggression.
Establishment-critical narrative
While the West focuses on Putin's alleged willingness to unleash nuclear Armageddon, they appear unfazed by what seems to be an overt call from Zelenksyy for a first strike. This only further highlights their clear double-standards.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 7% chance that at least one nuclear weapon will be detonated in Ukraine Before 2023, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
