What’s the lie about Ukraine?

Yaroslav Hunka scandal leaps to mind. But farther than that, it was the same old "it's not going to be a quagmire", "it's not just about propping up the US arms industry", "we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" line we've been hearing in every international theater.

Even the bit about Trump being "Putin's Puppet" falls apart on any amount of historical interrogation. Trump was selling anti-tank missiles to Kiev as far back as 2018, three years before the Donbas invasion. He'd laid a bunch of sanctions on the country the first year he took office.

Then, as soon as Biden took office, he's the one weak on Ukraine, according to the GOP.

Both parties egged their own supporters on by insisting the other party wasn't Pro-Ukraine enough. Both parties insisted the other faction was "Communist". Both insisted the other was a fifth column, trying to disarm the US from within. It was always and forever bullshit.
