Its also pretty interesting to me that the US / ROTW split seems not just on is Superman American Wayish enough, its also that the majority of US press have taken Madeupistan invading Notrealya as a signifier for Isreal / Palestine, whereas most of the UK press I've read read it as Russia / Ukraine, which... is actually pretty fascinating in terms of political concerns and geopolitical relevance.

The movie kind of plays both sides. Like the bad guys are 100% Russian look and sound alikes and gives them same reason for their invasion as Putin but at the same time the evil country is described as longtime ally of the US and the country they want to invade is full of poor brown people who don't even have a military. 
Geopolitically I'd lean more towards Ukraine/Russia allegory though considering how there's no complicating factors about one side claiming that this is their homeland or any October 7 kind of event.

There's also the possibility that Gunn didn't really have any of that in mind and that a story about an evil dictator invading another country will naturally have people draw real life parallels. Gunn really seems to love his evil dictators as he's been using them multiple times now.
