The Iranian propaganda videos are catchy but also emphasize all the cracks in U.S. society and the weak points of the U.S. leadership. Simultaneously it paints the Iranian regime as the defender not just of Iran, but victims of American aggression broadly. It doesn’t hurt that the White House keeps playing into this with their comments.

The White House comments trivialize mass murder and killing. And it appeals to absolutely nobody but the man boys currently inhabiting the White House.
