    I’ve always thought that if you switch America and Russia/China in most events, it would better fit the narratives.

    For example:

    America brokered peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

    America opened up factories in Afghanistan to provide jobs for the locals who are recovering from a war with China.

    America is supporting their ally in Syria and combating terrorists supported by Russia.

    Russia went to war with Iraq and killed a million people and destroyed all their infrastructure.

    The incarceration rate in China is the highest in the world.

    China accused America of spying on them with a weather balloon.

    Russia overthrew the Libyan government, spiraling the wealthiest African country into a civil war.


    Like seriously, switch the stories around and it better fits the narrative we’re constantly being fed. With the view that libs have of Russia, China and America, events would literally have to play out like this if their view was correct.

      America is an endless expansionist that has illegally invaded multiple neighbours by force while calling it a “military exercise”.

      America has a semi dictator that gave themselves full unlimited power after being elected once and has since then meddled in every election in order to win

      Hmm, not really

        Yes?

        The US literally overthrew their democracy, and then when elections took place within a bourgeois ‘democracy’ interfered in those too. Russia post-overthrow of USSR could never have become a democracy, the US wouldn’t have allowed it.
