| Description: | The words “big, fat, corrupt sinkhole” are not a direct quote, but an interpretation of what Gates is saying in the edited clip. As his quote shows, Gates was referring to “pre-war” Ukraine, crucial context that was omitted from the clip circulating online. It is not clear what Gates’ timeframe is for “pre-war”—it could refer to before Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 or its initial invasion in 2014. |
