Only war the USA has won in recent memory
It’s not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly. Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.
Not sure I agree with your claim that the West have better human rights. They do more anti-privacy stuff than the rest of the world combined, and are starving 2 million people. The USA deprives the most people of their freedom: 1.9 million I'm seeing, and 99% of them never had a trial.
Liberals hear criticism of western countries and respond, "They're not perfect. They have their little foibles." Liberals hear criticism of other countries and think they're pure evil.
Only purity-testers have difficulty with this.
Imagine saying Alice In Wonderland isn't good.
Besides, to condemn the art because you condemn the artist, you'd have to be playing the game of giving absolute moral condemnations of people in the first place. That's a mug's game. Everybody's got good and bad in them.
I agree with your point that propaganda should be targeted at people who are persuadable.
