You're being far too kind.
The US is objectively, quantifiably, far more evil than ISIS.
I've read some utterly insane shit online but this is coming close to the most insane.

Yeah, WinterHold and Belacqua have joined Westboro Baptist Church together
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I group the "Western Allies" together when I consider the liberation of Europe and the end of the war in eastern Asia and "points south". So yeah, I agree.

The problem is, just like the majority of Americans were actually a brainwashed rabble that allowed people like Trump to rule them, the majority also don't believe that the American army is a mere troublemaker in the world, a mere invading bully.
I think they will only see when it's too late.
Another belief is that most Americans are so drunk on their past achievements that they can't think clear anymore.
Note that many bullies don't get the spanking they need; but actually grow to be fruitless old men and women, cheering for any familiar face that reminds them with the mad dream of glory their ancestors and father once had.

Trump lost the popular vote.
I base my appraisal of our armed forces on my own experience in serving, and what we accomplished. Do you have much experience with the us army?

I was in it for the $0.37/hr (after deductions.) I had big plans for that wad.

The majority of Americans dislike trump "Dislike" ? This is not even a word in professional political context; "yes" or "no" are the decisive votes; and Trump got the majority of the "yes".
Full stop.

In mere reality, he lost the pop vote by a greater margin than any other us president. The deficit was at least five times greater than the previous recordholder, Bush The Younger. In the wider view, the republican party hasn't been demographically viable for at least thirty years. Ever since Slick Willy stole everything but the casual racism in their party message. Hence all the attempts at disenfranchisement.
Winter's knowledge of the US appears to be bootleg copies of american movies and whatever the ayatollah has most recently told him.

I feel for him, I honestly do. In the same way that our own american taliban has been made to believe that all of their troubles arise from foreign brown invaders, to the point that they act against their own interests, large swaths of the middle east have been indoctrinated into this belief in the Great Western Satan. A belief which is used to grow and maintain the power of local warlords who oppress those people that believe it.
As a former peacekeeper, this situation is depressingly familiar to me. I've had to re-dig alot of wells in my life.
