Well, the idea that Putin was going to engage in an imperalist invasion of Ukraine was a “hoax” in exactly the same sense that Russia ratfucking the 2016 elections with (at a minimum) the active encouragement of the Trump campaign was a “hoax.”
And of course we know where this is headed next:
Tankie goalposts awkwardly shuffling from "how dare you suggest Putin might invade the sovereign nation of Ukraine" to "of course Ukraine is an integral part of Russia and should be annexed into Russia"— Michael Tae Sweeney (@mtsw) February 21, 2022
And the latter take will be simultaneously paired with an argument that the invasion is also entirely Biden’s fault because argle bargle. The answer, my friends, is in Hunter Biden’s laptop.
