The following link to an 8 minute video from March, 2022, is a way-out-there rewrite of history by the MSM. It's so over-the-top in its attacks and the false portrayal of Zelensky as just a sincere young guy fighting corruption that it becomes entertaining.

In it, we're reminded how much the media hated Donald Trump for refusing to meet with Zelensky, asking Zelensky to investigate the crimes of Biden (and freezing foreign aid when he declined), and saying the Ukraine had interferred with the 2016 elections to help Hillary win (in the video, described as a 'conspiracy theory' and 'Russian disinformation').

It's strange how time has laid bare he MSM's indoctrination purposes - the newscaster relays all om am exaggerated ,ammer. as if he is a 'mean girl' cheerleader making up unbelievable gossip about a rival.

Special vitriol was reserved for Rudy Guiliani - the clip describes him as leading an effort to 'manufacture dirt in the Ukraine on Trump's political opponents'. But the Bidens (Joe, his brother Jim, Hunter) along with the sons of Pelosi and Schumer all were engaging in the corruption of the Ukraine.

Ah, but this MSNBC video stresses that Zelensky was "uncorrupt" and that President Trump tried to "shake him down", so forget about all that. It's so far from reality I found it strangely funny. YMMV (your mileage may vary).

When Ukraine Needed U.S. Backing, All They Got Was Donald Trump's Corruption

Right, so the idiotic argument is that this somehow justifies foreign invasion, genocide, and annexation by a more corrupt neighbor? Moronic

You deserve this, you're government is corrupt!

With all the arms they’ve been given Ukraine should rule Russia by now.

Here is President Trump telling us he is sick of Putin’s constant nuclear threats and murderous destruction of Ukraine.

““Look, Stuart, when he goes in and he kills thousands of people are we going to just sit by and watch?

This country will be in 100 years from now they will be talking about what a travesty, a horrible thing this is. We can’t let that, just on a human basis we can’t let that happen, and then he says that there are nuclear power but we’re a greater nuclear power.
(snip)
But if we didn’t have it we couldn’t talk but I listened to him constantly using the n word , that’s the n word, and he’s constantly using it.
But if we didn’t have it we couldn’t talk but I listened to him constantly using the n word , that’s the n word, and he’s constantly using it. The nuclear word, and we never talk, we say oh, he’s a nuclear power, but we’re a greater nuclear power.

We have the greatest submarines in the world, most powerful machines ever built, most powerful and they got built under me. Most powerful machines ever built and nobody knows where they are and

You should say look , if you mention that word, one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these thousands of people die. It’s going to be hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of people by the time it ends.

I’m hoping DJT runs on a Peace and Prosperity platform. His one term was a success story on both fronts.

90 percent of what they get they funnel back to our politicians.

Why don’t you ask why Ukraine is corrupt? It’s because it has been in the Russian sphere of influence. In Russia corruption is considered a normal part of life. Getting out of the Russian sphere of influence is the only chance for Ukraine to get rid of (most of) corruption.

Looks like the liberation of Donbass is starting to pick up momentum, so this crap may end sooner than later.
