SNL provided a meme-filled look at Russia’s disinformation campaign and its escalating situation with Ukraine during the show’s latest cold open
In the sketch, a trio of White House employees give President Biden a rundown at Russia’s efforts to seed unrest in the neighboring Ukraine, from Tik Tok dance videos and Crying Jordan memes to hijacking the week’s biggest news stories, like“Neil Young to remove music from Spotify unless Ukraine surrenders,” Alex Moffat’s White House aide reads of one headline. “American CDC Strongly Recommends Russia Invade Ukraine,” reads another fake news story.
By sketch’s end, the U.S. deploys their own millennial social media expert — now the Secretary of Defense — to counteract the misinformation “Mr. President, I think your generation can learn a lot from mine,” the Secretary of Defense says. “We don’t believe in drone strikes. We believe in breaking down our enemies psychologically.”
