So now the United States — yes, our country — is suddenly the “bad guy on the world stage,” and apparently deserving of international sanctions… according to none other than Elie Mystal, a man who somehow manages to land recurring gigs on MSNBC and call himself a “justice correspondent.”

Strap in, because this isn’t just another wild hot take. This is what happens when left-wing pundits start confusing ideological performance art with serious geopolitical analysis.

Mystal appeared on Joy Reid’s new show — which, let’s be honest, is just the same anti-American sermon with a shinier set — and declared that the U.S. deserves to be sanctioned by the international community.

His reason? We had the audacity to target Iranian nuclear sites. Yes, Iran — the world’s most persistent state sponsor of terrorism, the regime that funds Hezbollah, trains proxy militias, chants “Death to America,” and pours billions into undermining peace across the Middle East. But according to Mystal, they’re the ones we’re supposed to show restraint toward?

And here’s where it gets worse: this wasn’t just some casual comment. He doubled down. “We are a menace to not only free people everywhere, but peaceful people everywhere,” he said, as though Iranian mullahs are just misunderstood monks in robes. The guy didn’t just criticize U.S. policy — he called for other countries to sanction us. Imagine standing in front of a camera, broadcasting to millions, and demanding foreign powers punish your own nation.

Watch:

Mystal claims he doesn’t say this “lightly.” Really? Because it’s the same song and dance he’s been performing for years. He’s called our Constitution outdated, he’s dismissed laws passed before 1965 as presumptively illegitimate — unless, of course, those laws can be retrofitted to support the narrative he’s selling.

And let’s not forget his commentary from 2020, just months before President Trump returned to the White House in a second-term landslide. Mystal insisted that Trump supporters were “just as despicable” as the president himself. That was his explanation — not policy disagreement, not ideology, but that millions of Americans are morally bankrupt for voting differently. What kind of “justice correspondent” writes off half the country like that? Hint: the kind who sees disagreement as evil, and dissent as a crime.

Now, for all his theatrics, Mystal isn’t some isolated outlier. He’s applauded in the very media echo chambers that keep telling you America is broken, evil, and in need of transformation — just so long as they get to define what that transformation looks like. This isn’t about criticism anymore. This is about delegitimizing everything foundational to the United States in order to pave the way for a new order — one where “justice” means conformity to progressive groupthink.

Here’s more from this totally ‘sane’ spokesperson for MSNBC:

And it’s not just Mystal. It’s the entire tone of the media class that props him up. Joy Reid doesn’t push back — she nods along. These aren’t interviews. They’re ideological pep rallies, designed not to inform, but to incite. Because what better way to get attention than to say the most outrageous thing possible? “Sanction America”? That’ll get you trending. That’ll get the social media machine spinning.

But here’s the real danger: while they’re busy condemning America from Manhattan studios and corporate-funded newsrooms, real adversaries — Russia, China, Iran — are watching. They love this kind of rhetoric. When Americans call for sanctions against America, it hands propaganda to our enemies on a silver platter.

So what happens when this kind of thinking starts slipping into actual policy? When the voices calling for America’s punishment stop being confined to cable news and start influencing actual lawmakers?

What happens if the people who see the U.S. as the “bad guy” suddenly get to decide what justice looks like?

And who exactly will be left to stop them?
