The Spin
Pro-North Korea narrative
The U.N. report is another example of Western powers weaponizing human rights concerns to target nations that refuse to bow to their hegemony. These same accusers have blood on their hands from decades of illegal wars, torture at secret prisons and systematic oppression of minorities within their own borders.
Anti-North Korea narrative
North Korea's escalating brutality against its own people demands immediate international action, including referral to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. The regime's expansion of death penalties for watching foreign films and forcing orphans into deadly labor camps highlights an unprecedented level of state terror that cannot be ignored.
