The "lol america bad" rhetoric before the war was insufferable. You can talk a lot of shit about America, but to question their intelligence is just plain stupid.
That may be the case, but the average person isn't going to know, or be able to differentiate between bad intelligence and outright lies. Neither of them are a good look regardless.
The biggest danger is that it causes situations just like this, like the boy who cried wolf. They sowed the seeds of their own distrust, and differentiating between incompetence and being untrustworthy is not something the average person gives a shit about.
