I watched 11 minutes of it. Normally I don’t yell at a screen unless my work computer freezes and I haven’t save in 10min. I was YELLING at the screen. Like full on crazy man. The audacity to change the narrative to the guy who’s being invaded is astounding.

Ah okay, this was during the occupation of Crimea then. It's not really possible to view that separate from the current situation but arguably, Trump was not in office during this Russian 'military operation'.
