Obvious video game is obvious.
Retired four-star U.S. General and MSNBC/NBC (because of course) analyst Barry McCaffrey can’t tell the difference between video game footage and real-life combat. Suppose his being an analyst for MSNBC has never made more sense?
This was just super-cringe.

McCaffrey went so far as to use this ‘footage’ to claim Russians are losing large numbers of attack aircraft.
Lucky for him, a supporter reached out to let him know it was a video game.

But by then, people had of course seen the tweet and well … LOL.
You should be both ashamed and embarrassed

Awwww, yes.
These are the moments that make Twitter not so horrible.
For us at least.
