Superman is American empire. He has a distracting debate with Lois about the supremacy of Superman, but Superman decides he has supremacy in the end. The only case for Borovia being Israel instead of Serbia (in 90s) is that it has the US arms exporters (whether US State Dept is official conduit or not, US is not forbidding them) control Boravia. Russian like language in eastern Europe opressing muslims makes other case. The Superman = American empire propaganda is that the conflict is clear simplistic evil invading innocent good, and America/Superman “doing good after exploring all other alternatives.” in imposing its will while US is free of all repercussions due to Superman’s protection.
