      I would have liked it if they did provide sources but I imagine some fan will do it in the comments.

      One thing they may get knocked for tho is the fact that they showed that clip or Zelensky talking to Ukrainian troops who refuse to stand down, and didn’t mention that clip is from is stupid TV show, people are probably gonna bring that up. As far as I know just about everything else they talk about is mostly accurate based on what I know about Ukrainian politics but I’m not an expert.

          I was told it was from his show. Maybe that guy was wrong. Honestly Ukrainian politics is a cluster fuck, every source you find there's like four people ready with counter sources.

        I wish they did a little more work on their sources as well. I should have phrased what I meant a little better I’ll admit.

        I’ve always watched Boy Boy as political slop so I thought it was funny that a bunch of “as a radical blah blah where is your source!?” comments came flying in. Even saw comments referring to or citing Adam Something and Destiny lmao.

        Glad you pointed out that Zelensky clip tho fr. I trust people here to point out that stuff cuz I’m a dummy in some ways.

          As far as I know what they said while showing that clip is true, Zelensky did get push back from his own military when he tried to deescalating the conflict in Donbas. That video just isn’t good evidence for such a claim.

        I think it's real.

        On Oct. 26 [2019], President Volodymyr Zelensky locked horns with war veterans in the front-line town of Zolote in Luhansk Oblast.

        The president was pushing a mutual disengagement of troops and armaments at the front line flashpoint. The veterans opposed this plan.

        Soon, however, a video of their disagreement shot through Ukrainian social media, fueling passions across the country.
