But it would only work on prude countries.

France would scoff at such an attack, they have raunchier shampoo commercials. And Scandinavian countries wouldn't even bat an eye.

Exactly, just like the Nigerian prince scam. Those who know about the scam or with enough critical thinking ability are not the marks. They want that small percentage of highly gullible people they can fleece easily.

With extra testosterone. I bet one of the YouTube grindset cons could make a fortune taking steroids and selling bull semen powder as the way to get swole.

The asymmetry between the cost of defense vs. offense here is absurd.

The operation of air defense networks, missiles, and fighter jet interceptions, all to try to down kit aircraft costing less than the average Porsche sports car. Fancy-pantsy capabilities that required billions not long ago can be had for cheap. It's no longer the exclusive realm of low-flying supersonic or stealth aircraft to strike the heart of the enemy. What required billions of R&D can be somewhat achieved on the cheap.

Such a system can shoot at a maximum range of 30km. How many refineries and ammo depots does Russia have to protect? It's a huge bloody country which makes it very hard to cover with radar and air defence.

The edge that allowed Russia to win against powerful invading armies bites them in the ass here. So much real estate is hard and expensive to protect.

During the height of the Cold War, a kid flew across Europe in a small, slow plane and landed on the damn Red Square. Another guy landed a helicopter on the White House lawn.

The fuel is (relatively) nothing. Interceptors have to haul ass and that means going full throttle for periods which translates into countless hours of maintenance on those planes. This immobilizes the aircraft after the mission and the ground crew to work on it. It also consumes spare parts and reduces the overall lifetime of the airframe.

China does this to Taiwan by playing chicken at the edge of their defensive zone, forcing a smaller air force to keep up with the interceptions.

And when they identify one of these they still need to act. How quickly and efficiently can they get interceptors up in the air and vectored in? How operational are their ground-based anti-air capabilities and do they dare shoot something down? And how much coverage do they actually have?

And they'll argue "you don't need [all the things that make this company great]". And then we'll wonder how a once leading company is dying on their now crappy products/services.

It listens to mobile phones and radios.

The kind of spy plane used to hunt down Pablo Escobar, not the kind to photograph troop movements in the USSR.

He's but a humble super man. Puts one boot after the other like any other.

One would think they would omit some of the ridiculous/embarrassing bits if they go full fascist and rewrite history.

But at this point anything is possible.

Just be aware that "woke" is a very charged term. It has been hijacked by the alt-right to critique anything they say that's going against their conservative values. It is so vague that even alt-right pundits fail to define what the word means. It basically translates to "I'm out of touch and I don't like this".

The word you might want to use instead is "pandering" which Hollywood (and mass media in general) has been doing it since forever. Basically it's insincerely showing support for some values just for the money. Which Disney has and is very much doing here being. But the alt-right will throw that label on genuine actions and media simply because it goes against their worldview and it becomes very inconsistent (e..g, strong super-agent man fantasy fine, strong super-agent woman fantasy is "woke").
