The Spin

Pro-Russia narrative

A decision to arm Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles would mark a dangerous escalation. These weapons cannot be distinguished from nuclear variants during flight, which would make this an act of war that abandons any pretense of peace negotiations. Trump must proceed carefully so as not to align Washington with Europe's reckless warmongering at the expense of diplomatic solutions.

Pro-establishment narrative

Long range Tomahawk missiles give Ukraine the precision strike capability needed to finally pressure Putin into ending his brutal war. These battle-tested weapons can hit 67 Russian air bases and critical infrastructure that funds Putin's war machine. A strategic escalation would send the right message — negotiate seriously or face devastating consequences to Russia's military assets.
