The Spin

Pro-North Korea narrative

This partnership highlights legitimate cooperation between sovereign nations in their defense against Western aggression. Russia and North Korea are exercising their right to mutual defense under international law, providing reconstruction assistance that helps restore war-damaged infrastructure. The alliance strengthens both countries against imperialist hegemony.

KCNA Watch

Anti-North Korea narrative

North Korea's military involvement with Russia violates international sanctions and escalates global tensions dangerously. This cooperation enables Putin's war machine while providing Kim with advanced military technology that threatens regional security. The partnership undermines international law and stability.
