9/ Many Americans are skeptical of #Ukraine, and I get it.

1️⃣ You think this is just another endless U.S. war. But the #war machine actually opposes a quick #Ukrainian victory—because long wars sell weapons. 2023 was a record year for U.S. defense sales.

2️⃣ You think #Biden’s support is about Hunter’s Burisma money. But Burisma isn’t Ukrainian—it’s part of a pro-#Kremlin cartel working to undermine Ukraine’s independence.

If I’d never been to #Ukraine, I’d probably oppose it.

From afar, to those quite tired of #Washington's games, Ukraine might look like another endless U.S. #war—pushed by media spin, the defense industry, and Hunter #Biden’s Burisma connections. Even Hollywood seemed in on it until they got bored.

And I’d think the 2014 #Maidan Revolution was staged by some State Department lady handing out cookies.

But up close? The truth isn’t what you’d expect. 🧵[1]⤵️
