It's so silly because the US has a very similar strain of "masculine nationalism" which almost everyone rolls their eyes at (including their own military). And being more dynamic in terms of these things is how you reduce western influence, instead of alienating a bunch of people. If anything, they should be trying to "out-gay" the United States, and weaken support for the imperial core in the imperial core. They shouldn't let the imperialists try to take a victory they don't deserve.

Tbh they've never done a good job at these sort of foreign propaganda tactics, which in itself may be a tactical decision.
