The Spin

Pro-Europe narrative

Russia's escalating hybrid warfare campaign across Europe demands immediate collective action. Drone incursions over airports and critical infrastructure represent a dangerous gear change in Moscow's shadow war, designed to sow chaos and undermine faith in democratic institutions. European unity and swift military cooperation like the U.K.-Belgium partnership are essential to counter Putin's provocative strategy.

Pro-Russia narrative

The drone hysteria is manufactured propaganda designed to pressure Belgium into seizing frozen Russian assets for Ukraine funding. Western officials immediately blame Russia without evidence while pushing massive military spending packages worth hundreds of billions. This mafia-style pressure campaign exploits unidentified aircraft sightings to justify escalation and asset theft.
