Besides being pacified and dumbed down and unfamiliar with resistance, americans are also not able to think outside their narrow box.
Locked in their binary thinking.
As far as the world is concerned it doesn’t matter what ‘side’ of the same coin invades, bombs weddings, supports genocides or regime changes.
So yes, it’s the same.
It only matters for people in the banana republic themselves.
But they never learn, so enjoy what you deserve.
