The Spin


Pro-establishment narrative

The military strikes were necessary and justified to protect international shipping lanes and American interests, as the Houthis have conducted hundreds of attacks on vessels, causing billions in economic damage and putting innocent lives at risk.


Establishment-critical narrative

The US attack on Yemen is an illegal act of aggression that killed civilians, including women and children, violated Yemen's sovereignty, and failed to address the root cause of the conflict — Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
