Tsundere American

Generally speaking, if it has nothing to do with politics, this movie is definitely scum. Such routines in American dramas are commonplace, and there is nothing to be a pity. In fact, the Iranians in the play are telling the truth. As the world policeman, the United States will naturally claim that it is for the democracy and freedom of the people of the world, but when it comes to conflicts of interest, it will naturally put the so-called democratic freedom in the second line. That's why the old method of fostering a puppet regime was used. What is the attitude of the US government? I can point fingers at you, but if you bully the Americans, I will let you die miserably, or the American people will let us die miserably. From this point of view, the American people are happy. In other words, you’d better not let me know if you are a junior outsider. Of course, to show your charm for family harmony, sometimes I can pretend not to know. But if Xiaosan comes to bully me, your husband will be the end.
Another point is that the American people are highly self-aware. Everyone knows what is going on. But when things happen, they are not when they are held accountable. The problem is solved first. It is very effective and practical. The people have never hesitated to criticize. The most important thing is that the government acquiesces to the existence of this kind of criticism. In a word, in the United States, the common people are the masters, in Iran and even in China, you know. Therefore, the U.S. government is unsatisfied with this trick of transforming contradictions among the people into contradictions between ourselves and the enemy. Of course, when all the conditions are not met, other countries cannot play this kind of game. . Imagine if someone was burning the five-star red flag at the beginning of the movie, how would you react? How will the government react?
So, at least in the next few decades, even if people have already made such a film, it will be impossible for us. .
