The US government rationalizing its own propaganda:

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

I mean who is hanging protestors in public squares after declaring the person guilty of "waging war against god"? Who is supplying Russia with Kamikaze drones to destroy civilian infrastructure in Ukraine? Iran. Who is committing textbook definition levels of genocide in Ukraine and mass executions, along with destroying civilian infrastructure. Russia. Who is launching simulated blockade and bombing runs on Taiwan because the House Speaker dared visit. China. Given the events of the last year, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this.

A lot of US and non US citizens think the US should just curl up and act like nothing is happening and all the other countries are doing what they're doing because they're fighting American oppression. Russia didn't need to invade Ukrain, China doesn't need to attack taiwan, Iran doesn't need to promote terrorism all over the world. I don't think we should stand back and let that stuff happen.
