Of course the US military intervened. The film's depiction of its world's geopolitical realities is entirely shaped by it. It kinda looks like the world is just divided over self-serving bureaucratic governments engaged in petty squabbles which can be transcended if we just co-operate or reach across the aisle so to speak. The problem I have is that it portrays all countries as equally belligerent and that US just happened to have the only linguist in the world to whom it ocurred that the first mention of "weapons" might be a mistranslation or a misunderstanding. Meanwhile back in real life the American military is the most violent organisation by margins that can only be measured in astronomical units.
Yeah at the end it's an american movie so of course they're going to be the heroes, at least China wasn't portrayed as badly as Russia that iirc

end up doing some kind of mutiny and killing between them?Something that i've noticed in these kind of movies is that the chinese representative is always a general, always a military guy, they never have a CPC guy, or a scientist. It's as if China is a warmonger or smt in their minds.
