I hope it’s all becoming clearer.

The same people who spent years working to undermine support for Ukraine have now dropped the pretense entirely and openly aligned themselves with Russia.

Not with America’s interests. With Russia.

And in doing so, they have exposed what many of us have been arguing all along: this was never really about Ukraine.

Because supporting Ukraine was never an act of charity. It was an act of self-interest.

A weakened Russia is good for the United States. A Russia forced to expend its military, economic, and political power in a failed war of aggression is good for the United States. Demonstrating that borders cannot be changed by force is good for the United States. Showing China, Iran, and every other adversary that aggression carries consequences is good for the United States.

Instead, these voices chose to attack the country fighting our adversary rather than the adversary itself.

Now many have abandoned even the pretense of neutrality and openly defend Russia, a hostile power that has partnered with Iran, armed America’s enemies, worked against our interests across the globe, and repeatedly sought to weaken the United States and the West.

The irony is remarkable. Many claim to be champions of America First while making arguments that benefit Moscow at the expense of American power, American credibility, and American security.

The masks are off.

What was presented as opposition to aid for Ukraine has increasingly revealed itself as something far more damning: a willingness to excuse, rationalize, and even admire a regime whose interests are fundamentally opposed to our own.

Supporting Ukraine was always the America First position. True MAGA understood that from the beginning.Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee)Wonderful to see!
Thank you for sharing the truth for all to see.
We should be friends, allies, and trading partners with Russia and much friendlier to the rest of the world.
And keep our tax dollars at home to be spent for Americans and stay out of foreign wars.—  https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/2061534003891446031

So that no one escapes… The Armed Forces of Ukraine have begun preparations to destroy the Crimean Bridge.
