GUEST BLOG: Ben Morgan – Ramstein – Cutting through the PR spin – What does it mean?

This discourse drives much of the mainstream media’s reporting about the NATO conference in Ramstein and about its outcomes. Russian information operations this week focussed on the Ramstein meeting consisted of more vague threats of escalation. Therefore we have seen a heated debate recently about NATO tanks. The United Kingdom fired the first shot, offering Ukraine Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. The Russian’s won a small and hopefully short-lived victory when Germany chose not to release NATO’s Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
