For decades, Western media outlets have perfected a specific dialect of journalism reserved for "adversarial" nations. It is a language of subtle delegitimization, where elected leaders become dictators, governments become regimes, and economic challenges become signs of imminent collapse.

NATOfied is an experiment in linguistic reflection. We take real, often mundane news stories from NATO member states — stories about infrastructure, local politics, or protests — and rewrite them using the same rhetorical framing that Western media applies to the Global South and Eastern bloc.

Our goal is not to spread disinformation, as the underlying facts remain the same, but to expose the hidden editorializing and hypocrisy that permeates NATO media reporting. By turning the lens 180 degrees, we reveal how easily the same events and actions can be painted in drastically different lights simply by tweaking how those underlying facts are framed.
