Leni Riefenstahl was the best over-the-top propaganda film maker ever.

I suspect that even she would refuse to produce a propaganda film based on your Manifest Destiny fantasy-view of the U.S. and its military.

Who (she might say) but the smallest group of people—living inside of a certain red-white-blue bubble—would possibly believe that hyperbolic American war-movie which you just fantasized.

I personally would refuse to write the screenplay — stating firmly that the U.S. has absolutely no high moral ground on which to claim to be the “world police”—when they’re not concocting justifications to invade or occupy or overthrow or bomb countries, they’re busy selling them weapons.

I suspect Lindsay Graham would go along with the project, but only because it serves our 750 military base warmongerings around the globe.

Well, maybe Anthony Blinken also—who dressed up his small son as the comedian/puppet Zelenskyy when trick or treating The Somnambulist in the White House.
Even Colin Powell would have a hard time selling this deceptive paradigm.

I leave you with one of our great truth-tellers whose words zap and puncture that hot air balloon you sailed in.
