The U.S. image in the information war: the case of Slovakia
Анотація
The war in Ukraine has reintroduced large-scale military conflict to Europe, but it has also intensified a parallel information war in which the image of the United States plays one of the central roles. On the one hand, the United States is presented by its allies as a defender of democratic values, a reliable security partner, and a leading force in supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty. On the other hand, adversarial actors – most notably Russia and affiliated media – portray the United States as an aggressor, a manipulator, and the true instigator of the conflict. These competing representations are not merely rhetorical constructs, they carry concrete political implications. They influence public opinion, shape international alliances, and impact the perceived legitimacy of U.S. foreign policy.
