In an unsurprising turn of events, MSNBC war expert and retired 4-star General Barry R. McCaffrey mistook a video game for Ukraine war footage.
The Post Millennial reported:
On Monday, retired four-star general and MSNBC “military analyst” Barry R. McCaffrey posted a clip of video game footage to Twitter. Alongside it he claimed it was a display of strength from Ukraine’s air defense. It’s actually footage from a video game.
The clip in question came from YouTube’s “shorts” section, and is titled “Russian MiG-29’s Get Shot Down By Air Defense System | Arma 3 #Shorts #Airdefense #Arma3.”
Of course, conservatives on Twitter wasted no time criticizing MSNBC and the Left.

And now WaPo Columnist @MaxBoot is amplifying this “harmful misinformation”
These are the same people who lobby Big Tech companies to deplatform conservatives over “mean Tweets” and memes.

McCaffrey deleted his tweet but worth noting that the text at the bottom of the video clip he originally shared makes it pretty clear the video is from Arma 3 and not actual combat footage from Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/GxuMwimAbI
