The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The US and South Korea are working together to combat the rising threat North Korea poses. Because of the current stakes, the two allies are joining for the largest military exercises in five years. Kim Jong Un is on the precipice of starting a nuclear war, and his threats cannot be dismissed. The US military must defend its allies and the rules-based international order and prevent a nuclear attack at all costs.

Establishment-critical narrative

The US and its puppet South Korea's military provocations and war exercises are disturbing the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula, which is why Kim Jong Un needs to take practical measures to deter any acts of territorial invasion. These preemptive actions cannot be overlooked, and US confrontations must be addressed.
