Moscow shows Global South victims — Bangladesh and Cuba — to build narrative of American war crushing the vulnerable
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
Moscow tells the energy crisis story from below — from Bangladesh. RT publishes in-depth reporting on fuel shortages in Bangladesh: three weeks of reserves for 170 million people, queues, consumption caps, empty fishing nets because boats have no diesel. The Moscow Times adds unexpected angle: Russia is negotiating industrial production management in Cuba, whose energy crisis worsens under US embargo. Russian coverage never discusses inflation in rich countries. It shows Global South victims — Bangladesh, Cuba — to construct narrative where American war in Iran crushes the most vulnerable while Moscow offers solutions. It's narrative geopolitics at its purest.
