The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

The US is continuing to violate the sovereign rights of Cuba. It’s bad enough that it has occupied a small portion of the island to run a prison known for violating human rights for more than a century, but now it’s sending a nuclear submarine into Cuba’s territory. The US must show more respect for Cuba's sovereignty.

Pro-establishment narrative

There’s nothing for Cuba to complain about. The US has a naval base on the island and the submarine was there legally. The US will continue to move military assets wherever appropriate and always in compliance with international law.
