DOMINANT ANGLE
Moscow celebrates the NATO fracture as validation of its thesis on the decline of the Western order
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Moscow savors the spectacle of the Atlantic Alliance cracking apart. RT headlines with barely masked jubilation that Trump could 'punish' NATO while Iran vows revenge on Israel — juxtaposing both crises to maximize the sense of Western chaos. For Russia, every millimeter of distance between Washington and its European allies is a strategic victory without firing a shot. Russian framing is classic: NATO is an obsolete organization maintained by bureaucratic inertia and American fear of losing hegemony. Trump's withdrawal threat validates the thesis Putin has been hammering for two decades. RT does not mention that NATO's weakening directly benefits Russia on the Ukrainian front — the link is obvious but never made explicit, as if Moscow wants readers to discover it themselves.
