I can't help but wonder if this is how they beta test their plans. Accuse the other party of doing what they intend to do, see how people react, then adjust strategy accordingly and deploy.
That is part of it. It also helps muddy the waters. If you accuse the other people of doing the thing, and people recognize it's bullshit, then those people are going to think it's bullshit when they hear about them doing it.
