The Spin

Narrative A

Making sure Ukraine remains well-armed is the only way to fend off Putin and Russia in this unprovoked war of aggression. The US and NATO must not simply offer their latest and most hi-tech weapons. Combat is about supply lines, and the West must ensure basic equipment and ammunition are kept flowing as needed.

Narrative B

Multi-billion dollar weapons packages will make little difference in the war's outcome. The US has been meddling in Ukraine since the end of the Cold War, and what we're witnessing is a geopolitical Ponzi scheme to benefit those aligned with the military-industrial complex. War is a lucrative racket.
