    Honestly, most good (Anti) War Movies i know are set in Vietnam.

    When i think of movies in the middle east, it´s US Slopaganda like Jarhead, Blackhawk Down and American Sniper

      Blackhawk Down is set in Africa. Also, watch Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant and Warfare by Alex Garland / A24.

      You have to look for movies made during the war to get the spicy stuff. Most famously, The Green Berets, a movie so bad that when they showed it to marines in Vietnam, they wanted to go back to work. Roger Ebert gave 0 stars, bless his soul.

      My favorite shamelessly openly propaganda movie is Red Dawn, the one about a ragtag team of teenagers guerilla fighting off a joint invasion of the US by the USSR and Communist Latin Americans. Wolverines!

      I mean it depends. Depending on what country they dont like at the moment, its been Russia, China, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran… And now Venezuela.

          Y’all are always going on and on about Russian bots but you can’t read Russia in any context for any reason without dusting off the canned hate
