The Spin

Republican narrative

The Biden administration's failed domestic and international policy has pushed North Korea and Russia into an alliance that now threatens the security of the US. Despite the risks to America, Biden has promoted war games that could lead to unintended and undesirable confrontation on the world stage.

Democratic narrative

The fact that Pyongyang is providing weapons to aid Russia's war effort in Ukraine demonstrates the success of US sanctions in isolating and undermining Moscow. As Russian forces falter, the Kremlin is resorting to the support of other weak pariah states, such as North Korea, to try and plug gaps in munitions supplies.
