Firral,

Point taken.

But that is the reality of perceptions!

That is how the battle to win the mind of the world plays out!

I am sure in Russia, you must be saying the same about non Russian powers!

But since the international language has shifted from French to English, the world reads and understands English. Hence, the world is influenced by the English (western) media.

The day Russian is understood by a majority, maybe the Russian view will prevail.

I would not call it double standards, it is mere the question of winning the world to one's way of thinking!

Propaganda and disinformation, if you wish, is a reality in translating one's foreign policy into reality!
