Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
I see one of Putin's useful idiots is trying to give him a helping hand.

There’s some major butt-hurt on show this evening in Moscow with Zelenskyy getting the hero’s welcome in Washington while Putin attends choreographed audiences with his generals to assure them everything’s going to plan. Unsurprising that Putin’s fanboys in the west are sharing the pain.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Another $2Bn for Ukraine, including Patriot missiles and training for Ukrainians to use them, with a further £45Bn in the pipeline.

All in all a successful field trip for the Ukrainian C-in-C.

This is a comedy sketch when he was a comedian from the TV series "Servant Of The People" and it must be over six years old (as Obama was President), not when he was a politician.

Indeed. It's likely that as a mere comedian (at that time) he was saying something pertinent about what was going in Ukraine.

Much like "Mrs Brown’s Boys" or "The Inbetweeners" were saying something pertinent about what was going on in the U.K.?

No, not like that. A little more serious. But I suspect that you know this.

It's satire, not Panorama.
Something you get in democratic nations but not the kind of thing you would see in the likes of Russia.

One has to wonder why anyone would knowingly circulate Russia’s lines-to-take given the true situation in Ukraine today - even one as innocuous as a comedian riffing off an earlier election result.
Perhaps you could clarify how you think your link is relevant to a discussion of Ukraine’s attempts to resist invasion (and credible evidence of war crimes, including genocide)?

Actually, I wasn’t sure if you were serious…
Nothing says "conspiracy theory" or "misinformation" more than using a clip from a seven year old comedy show and using a vague non-specific statement to intimate that it showed something dodgy…
