Putin and his KGB goons know that no one believes their lies. That's actually the point, as Putin himself explained. They can lie to your face and you can't do anything about it. It's not so much misinformation as it is a huge "fuck you" like saying "I can kill you with impunity and then lie about it. What are you going to do? Nothing."

&gt;Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.  -- Sartre
