Lmao, but how exactly do they account for all of the countries supporting them? I guess they're all lumped in the same "bad" category. Honestly I truly think these people don't bother doing any sort of thinking about what they're supporting and why, because an actual interest would prompt you to go find out information for yourself.
Yup, all countries supporting them are lumped in as "bad/evil". Honestly they don't count any countries that aren't predominantly white western powers to begin with. Anyone else is "misguided"/"taken advantage of", like they aren't capable of making their own decisions about those countries.
When your understanding of geopolitics is less nuanced than GI Joe, it doesn't take a whole lot to persuade you. Which is exactly what they've been conditioned for. Critical thinking is the worst thing that could happen.
It always impresses me how hard the concept of countries acting in their own self-interest is for people to grasp. Instead they need "good guys" and "bad guys" in any kind conflict.
