The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

This terrorist attack was a wicked act of cowardice carried out by those who have long been deeply aligned with international parties. Violence and instability will only continue alongside the US and Turkish occupation. It's about time for the illegal occupation forces to leave Syria and be held accountable for assisting these groups.

Pro-establishment narrative

The treacherous attack must be condemned in the strongest possible terms, but it cannot obscure the fact that it is the Assad regime that has unleashed the violence in the country. Along with its Russian and Iranian backers, the bloody regime committed unspeakable crimes against its own people. Any normalization of relations with Damascus would mean complicity in the ongoing violence.
