We were vicious during the Cold War.

We were the bad guys.

In the modern era, we're the greatest spoilers of innocent Muslims in the Middle East.

And in the end, the result is all the same.

The only way, the only way to fix all of this, to unburden the brutalized, demonized American soul is to give more power to America's enemies.

We need, wait for it, multipolarity.

That's how the op works.

The goal is to convince you that America is irredeemably crappy morally and that the people we've always seen as our geopolitical opponents are actually not that bad.

Russia is not that bad.

In fact, in many ways, they're better than we are.

Iran is not that bad.

They don't bother us.

Maybe they could be our friends.

China is not that bad.

That's the op.
