    The point is that the footage we see is part of the in-universe propaganda, so we have no reason to assume it’s true.

    Once again proving that even fictional propaganda is highly effective.

      There’s also no presentation that it isn’t true, and by whatever means, we do know for sure that the Bugs are attacking earth. Retaliation or not, so either way it’s people stuck having to fight in order to save humanity.
