It’s so obviously a blend with aggressor russia/hungary-coded and victims, if anything, being somali/yemeni (???), but kapos see their own reflections in anything
It’s a liberal-coded fusion of both Russia and Israel. Fits right in with the rest of the very 2025 social commentary of that movie.
Where’s the Russia coding? The close American ally that wants to kill its brown neighbors and is led by a Netanyahu caricature?

IMO the Netanyahu comparison overlooks the visual similarity to David Ben-Gurion; note the wild hair. And there may be a dash of Mikhail Gorbachev due to the facial blemishes.
