The movie sets the United States and the Soviet Union in the same way. Those with advanced consciousness are excluded. However, after all, they are praising the United States and the Black Soviet Union, and the depth of reflection is limited. The US official is willing to take risks and give the warriors a chance. The prejudiced conclusion of success or failure based on the status quo of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the dominance of the United States, or whether it is precisely because of the essential difference that the two superpowers have gone to very different ends, will be unclear for a while, but it is certain that they have never met.
