      This is how Russia is today. No one knows what the truth is, so they accept whatever they want and ignore the rest.

        Russia benefits from the western approach that when two sides are argue they do it in a good faith, so the truth is in the middle.

        This is why the firehose of falsehoods works so well. The victims know that a lot of it are lies, but they also believe that some of it has to be truth.
