Narratives

• Narrative A, as provided by Foreign Affairs. While North Korea has a history of ramping up missile tests during US election years, the current threat is especially dangerous with Russia as its ally. With Russian technology at its disposal, Pyongyang may decide to launch a small but significant strike on the South. If the Biden administration fails to deter North Korean aggression, it could pave the way for Trump, who has boasted about his friendship with Kim Jong Un, to gain another term in the White House.
• Narrative B, as provided by RT International. Just because Trump supporters and Eastern governments agree on certain truths about America doesn't make Republicans agents of Russia. Western intelligence agencies recently lied about two of the largest events in recent history — COVID and the CIA and NATO's role in sparking the Ukraine war. People across the world, from presidents Putin and Xi to anti-establishment voters in the US and Canada, are tired of Western elites gaslighting them and making geopolitical allegations that are false and downright dangerous.
