It''s probably wise to believe the complete opposite of whatever is coming out of RU/Putin.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Well, they're bad guys, so you can't trust anything they say, including the opposite. You should not assume the opposite is true, you should assume that _everything_ they says is intended to confuse and mislead.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I originally read that as "trust what the opposition says", but it's a similar answer.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN The main reason to listen to what some entity like Putin says is to try and divine what he's trying to get us to wrongly think or do, so we can deny him what he wants.
Mostly, he wants people to spin cycles being confused and not knowing what the truth is. Solution: Take zero of what he says seriously.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN wise but probably none less comforting
