you and the writer of ATLA are wrong, they completely swap it around, Fire nation is Russia and China who are in the path of conquering the whole world. Ba Sing Se is the US even they make it looked like beijing, some are corrupt but are united to fight for freedom.

💀💀💀

They've only had one.

This would be funnier if we weren't making that comparison already.

Jesuuuuus. Id say "burn" but...

China is the fire nation, America is that Earth Kingsom billage, Ba Sing Se, that says "Nothing is going on here, everything is fine!" while they're literally on fire.

It's because they thought it was criticizing japan's war crimes and not theirs.
