Much of the world was shocked and outraged to learn on Thursday that Russia had initiated an all out invasion of Ukraine, an incursion that has already resulted in hundreds of casualties and destruction across the sovereign country.

According to the US, it marks the largest armed conflict on the European continent since 1939.

While many took to social media to express support for the people of Ukraine, former wrestler and current Peacemaker actor John Cena decided to do his part by...{checks notes}...promoting his new HBO Max show?

He tweeted:

Yep, you read that right.

One Twitter user summed up what should have happened with this Tweet:

While Cena likely thought he was showing support for Ukraine, fans were quick to point out how far this tweet missed the mark.


Folks were extra enraged that Cena took the time to add a promoted hashtag in his tweet.

One fan was quick to note that, on top of it all, maybe Peacemaker isn't quite the hero the world needs right now?

This comes on the heels of Cena's having to apologize to China for calling Taiwan a country. Maybe just sit geopolitics out?

Some fans had advice for how Cena could have better used his platform.

Here's hoping Cena uses his power and privilege to actually support the people of Ukraine.

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
