What I have a hard time putting my head around, is not that General Konashenkov speaking officially on behalf of the Russian MOD puts out bald faced lies. It is that so many get angry at the people who do not accept those lies and convince themselves Russia is telling the truth and everyone else is lying.
“It is that so many get angry at the people who do not accept those lies and convince themselves Russia is telling the truth.”
You are absolutely correct!
Two applicable quotes:
1- “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” - Soren Kierkegaard
2- “Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.”
― George Gordon Byron (Lord Byron)
