There are two competing narratives that I have seen spreading since Russia's invasion of Ukraine:1. NATO wasn't investing enough to defend itself, and was relying on the U.S. for military support. They were weak, and that's why Russia invaded.2. NATO provoked Russia to war by overmilitarizing. Russia had no choice but to invade Ukraine to protect itself.Both narratives are being spread by the same people, trying to argue for the same points. But logically, they can't both be true. So, what do you make of this?This is your daily reminder about the need for strong critical thinking skills when it comes to analyzing geopolitics.Emotionalism wins the headlines, rationalism wins the conflict.Have a great week, everyone!
