They didn't lie or mislead. You misread their original message. You uncharitably assumed they were a bunch of nasty internet SJWs. You then called them disingenuous when that didn't turn out to be the case.
Sorry if that isn't accurate, I know it sucks when people misrepresent your words.
It would take quite some mental gymnastics to not read "the fact is, your authoritarian government is committing human rights abuses and engaging in war crimes so this is a policy decision we have made and will stand by" as taking a moralistic high ground. (Although, "Internet SJWs" seems to have unfortunately originated in your own mind). My point is that this is not a policy they seem to consistently hold and so their actual reasons are different.
The "disingenuous" label was about your comment, and you've further proven yourself to be so. Continuing this thread with you will most likely be unproductive.
