https://ge.usembassy.gov/statement-from-ambassador-dunnigan/ or https://web.archive.org/web/20240502143927/https://ge.usemba... should explain anything to you.

Or try the classic Lord Arthur Ponsonby (1871-1946):

1. We don't want war, we are only defending ourselves;

2. The other guy is solely responsible for this war;

3. Our adversary's leader is evil and looks evil;

4. We are defending a noble purpose, not special interest;

5. The enemy is purposefully causing atrocities; we only commit mistakes;

6. The enemy is using unlawful weapons;

7. We have very little losses, the enemy is losing big;

8. Intellectuals and artists support our cause;

9. Our cause is sacred;

10. Those who doubt our propaganda are traitors.

If you recover the old NATO Summit in Bucarest/2008 you'll get also the details.
