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.

MSNBC’s “military analyst” is posting fake war videos from a video game.

Why is Left-Wing corporate media allowed to spread “misinformation” about a war, while they advocate for Censorship of Conservatives and Fact Checking of Memes? https://t.co/YDKGSkkvGV

This is from a video game called Arma 3.

Yet another example of how retired generals and admirals aren’t always the best military commentators. https://t.co/EHYvCGIkbC
