Also, the Russians actually have a word for strategic lying in international politics, there was an article about it on the BBC - they consider it a craft and are very open about it.

So, Western leaders will try for "plausible deniability" and "nuances" of the truth. The Russians will just lie and set up more lies to support it, making it impossible to get to the truth.

So - for example - if NATO don't want to acknowledge tanks massing in Poland they will refuse to talk about it, if Russia doesn't want to talk about it's tanks in Ukraine it will deny they are there, then it will report they are in the North near Finland on exercises, or it will hold actual exercises in Russia to distract from the tanks in Ukraine, or it will say there are only "volunteers" in Russia.

See the difference?
