The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Biden's speech highlighted the things he does best, especially coalition building. Although many say more can be done to aid Ukraine, Biden helped pull NATO together to stave off Russian advances. In Gaza, Biden's administration is working around the clock in an attempt to get a ceasefire despite the two sides' tentativeness. In addition to his speech, Biden held several meetings about how countries can come together to tackle the challenges of the world.

NBC

Establishment-critical narrative

Biden can crow about his foreign policy experience and his so-called successes. But there are three wars waging across the globe, and his speech offered no path for a way forward toward ending the bloodshed. Biden's speech was all "feelings and vibes" and resulted in criticism from several other world leaders who are looking toward the US for leadership.

Guardian

Conservative narrative

Biden's failed policies have done nothing but set the world aflame, and even as he bragged about his so-called accomplishments, he seemed to acknowledge his failures. But nothing he said mattered because he was urging an inept UN — which has abandoned its peace-keeping duties in the Middle East and lets the leader of Iran travel to New York unimpeded — to help out when it obviously has no intention of curtailing terrorism or draining anti-American autocrats of their power.
