Regardless of whatever opinions the author may have had regarding current events and regardless of what Drago thinks about it being "propaganda", the emphasis isn't really on pushing those narratives but simply took a side for the purpose of storytelling (and everyone's always going to hate when you take a side, but whatever helps the story progress for "ENTERTAINMENT"). Wouldn't have cared if they framed the story a different way; in fact, most good stories out there already do point out when the US has done something awful (because the US does lots of awful stuff) for the sake of putting out a good story. Russia's no saint, either, so whether they did or didn't do something, who cares? It makes for a good story. Sure the CIA may have been involved with the Arab Spring, or the Russians may have, or whatever; the movie's not meant to be a frickin documentary - it's entertainment.

And yes, it's very entertaining, indeed. The outright blasphemy is refreshing, although it seems that there might be more to the character we'll never know. It's a bummer that well-written heretical stories never last long (except perhaps DC's Lucifer). Wish they'd make another season of Messiah.
