I'd put myself in the Dave Smith quadrant of your chart (shocker, I know). I think the consistent theme (assuming we have one) is what Americans are being lied to about most: "Israel is just trying to defend itself" and "Russia is trying to take over Eastern Europe".
Those lies serve the political purposes of our domestic military-industrial-complex, which is probably the worst thing in the world.
I have no objection to vilifying the Russian state, in the same way as the Israeli state, for invading and killing many innocent people in a weaker nation. The states of Palestine and Ukraine also deserve blame for using military escalation as a political expedient and getting lots more people killed.
Those lies serve the political purposes of our domestic military-industrial-complex, which is probably the worst thing in the world. seems about correct as an explanation of what's driving this thing

I get why people in different nations, facing different propaganda, might focus on different elements of these situations.
