The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

With its updated WMD counter-strategy, the US is turning reality upside down, as it is Washington and its military-industrial complex that pose the greatest threat to the world. The US is the world's largest WMD-armed state and the only one that has ever used nuclear weapons. To justify its policy of global military hegemony, it projects the threat it poses itself onto declared "enemies." This explains the need for North Korea to increase its nuclear arsenal and diversify its nuclear strike capability.

Yonhap News Agency

Pro-establishment narrative

Pyongyang not only rejects denuclearization but has also passed a law allowing the use of nuclear weapons as an offensive war option. Meanwhile, Pyongyang is developing and stationing nuclear capabilities that could reach regional US allies as well as the US itself. Moreover, the DPRK's chemical and biological arsenal poses a constant threat to any nation the regime considers an "enemy." The Kim regime represents an incalculable danger, and the US is right to adapt to this persistent threat.
