The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Germany's prosecution sets a strong precedent for the rest of Europe and the West in their fight against terrorism. Counter-terrorism operations require a global effort, one ranging from the battlefield to the courtroom. Hopefully, more arrests and prosecutions will follow this in the future.

United States Department of Justice

Establishment-critical narrative

By ousting Assad, the US ironically revived IS, which it partly created. Now, Western countries, as US allies, collaborate with a nation sanctioning the International Criminal Court, undermining the very war crimes accountability they should uphold and exposing their hypocrisy in international justice.
