Why is everyone in this game a liar?

I am the US (rank 67) and this guy is a rank ~30 as Thailand. His teammates helped me attack him cuz of how irritating he is. He constantly lies absurdly saying “I’ve got 46 missiles” then later said he had “46 special ops.” 😂 He can’t even make up realistic numbers. Said his afk teammate with 12 cities had 120 troops by day 40. I’ve killed about 4 stacks of his cruisers, subs, elite units etc and a lot of his troops with only taking maybe 5 cruiser loss and a couple naval patrol craft but I still have over 200 units because I haven’t had much fighting this game. Why does he feel the need to lie despite me being able to prove what he’s saying is untrue?
