How else are they supposed to convince people to justify their military actions? Through fear and something outlandish seems weird until you consider propaganda that creates irrational fear. This mental manipulation isn't just about our enemies, it is used to justify protecting Americans from these evil psychopaths, like the Patriot act. Sure Putin is going to take over Europe, he was very specific with the Ukraine he didn't attack a country in NATO...Sure China is going to take over the world...I mean they are just going to attack all their business partners? Oddly we constantly do business with China. Kim Jung Un of North Korea was turned to be a minor joke, still "crazy" but not worth noting "little rocket man" reference. The US empire does the same song and dance to justify military action and war, flag waving patriotism, intent protect, etc... I can't even say how ridiculous my country is with its hero trope, save the world from bad guys bullshit...Which country has bases in every part of the world? Who has the most military bases in other nations? Who pushes Australia around?

'Pushes Australia around.' Are there no brains in the Government of Australia as well as other Western Nations?
