The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The need to arm Ukraine must be counterbalanced with strict oversight rules for American weapons to ensure they don't fall into the wrong hands. This move to send US troops to supervise the process is about ensuring long-term US interests are protected.

Pro-Russia narrative

The presence of US troops and advisers in Ukraine dramatically escalates the chances of a direct conflict between Russia and America. Once a contingent is in a warzone, it will likely grow until you have an all-out conflict — a situation that needs to be avoided.
