“They were very disparaging of Ukraine, and they were talking about the massive corruption of Ukraine, and how horrible it was over there. And now, all of a sudden, they’re looking at it like they’re heroes. The same exact people. This is what’s confusing.”
Joe Rogan discussed on his Saturday podcast about how left-leaning mainstream media criticized Ukraine severely, and completely flipped their position on the issue since the Russian invasion.

"What the f*ck is that? What is that?" exclaimed a frustrated Rogan.
