Some seem to think that if something is not blatantly a left-wing satire it must be right-wing. However, I would be more comfortable simply calling Team America political satire because it takes stabs at both sides. The movie goes after the jingoism that is a commonly expressed critique of the right. It also goes after the left with its satirical representation of actors.
The movie seems to criticize the “right-side” approach of policing every other country. It conveys the idea that conservative America has a superiority complex and that it takes any and all matters into its own hands, often acting before thinking. Overall, the movie satirizes the brazen, physical force approach. On the other side, the movie also suggests that the ignorant peace talks can solve everything method is also in the wrong, at least to an extent. Therefore, in reality, Team America looks at both sides with a critical and satirical eye.
