I admire the creativity and it's not completely wrong, all empires grow and expand by crushing the weaker. It also isolates US aggression from context so I don't think it will win any journalism awards.

More war-time propaganda. It bears a strong resemblance to the propaganda pieces disseminated by the Soviet Union in the 1960s.

Sadly, everything in the video is true in that the U.S. has very bad things in its history. However, the video is propaganda, as the Iranian government has killed close to thirty thousand of its own citizens for protesting and other infractions. The symbolism in the video backs up their mantra, "death to America". U.S. Islamic foes pretending to be "more moral" than the U.S. is just stupid.

Believe it or not, the Iranian regime is interested in portraying propaganda that doesn't portray the U.S. as the good guys, and the Chinese Communist Party also do the same. Here is one of their videos:



The level of defending of the Iranian regime (and, by extension, the Chinese Communist party and the Russian regime) on MennoNet is quite interesting.

I’m sure that the oil-hungry nations of China and Russia are helping what’s left of the IRGC by creating this propaganda in the hopes of keeping their own needs met.
