yes, all lies. and they know they are lying. and sadly they not care.
No they do not. Neither did the Soviets.
"We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country."
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
