The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Kim Jong-un is a mad man who poses a severe threat to the stability of the Korean peninsula and the security of the rest of the world. The US has so far failed to negotiate an end to nuclear weapons in exchange for humanitarian aid - it's time the US turns up the heat on North Korea's dictatorship.

Establishment-critical narrative

North Korea has been pushed into a corner by the West. For years Pyongyang made a goodwill effort towards diplomacy with the West and denuclearization, but all it got in return was snubbed and strong-armed. Powerful weapons are needed for nuclear war deterrence, and to avert imperialist threats and blackmail.
