The Spin

Anti-North Korea Narrative

The submarine's visit is a necessary show of force in support of South Korea; it demonstrates unwavering commitment to defending allies against North Korean threats and ensures readiness in response to provocative actions. The presence of US strategic assets serves as a crucial deterrent against potential aggression.

Pro-North Korea narrative

The US submarine's presence constitutes a dangerous provocation that threatens regional stability and peace. This military deployment near North Korean territory represents an explicitly hostile act that could escalate into armed conflict. Such actions justify North Korea's pursuit of enhanced nuclear capabilities for self-defense.
