The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Mark Rutte couldn't have taken the helm at a more important time. While Kyiv needs NATO to provide more ammunition to stave off recent Russian gains, the entire 32-member bloc needs to invest more financially for its own security purposes. Hopefully Rutte, with his successful history of leading the Netherlands, security conferences, and negotiating with Donald Trump, will strengthen the West more than ever before.

GuardianNew York Times

Establishment-critical narrative

Mark Rutte represents everything that's wrong with the Western establishment. While the media portray him as a strong statesman willing to do what it takes to defend Ukraine, in reality, he has hawkish views and wants to allow Kyiv to use Western weapons deep inside Russia—a clear provocation aimed at widening the conflict. It's no wonder he mentioned the Malaysian airline flight, which is arguably another piece of propaganda aimed at demonizing Russia.
