Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls To Abandon Ukraine, Pull Out Of NATO
Marjorie Taylor Greene is sick of the United States trying to help Ukraine protect itself against the Russian invasion. She blasted the effort on Twitter, declaring that it’s time to pull out of NATO.
Tweeting in the late hours of Wednesday night, Greene shared a screenshot of a news article that addressed Russian threats of backlash against the U.S. for efforts to help Ukraine. She opined that NATO and the efforts to provide Ukraine with means to defend itself are just “dragging us into” war, and that the U.S. should back off, leaving Ukraine to fend for itself, and in fact, pull out of NATO.
The American people do not want war with Russia, but NATO & our own foolish leaders are dragging us into one.
A war that no one will win.
Escalation over Ukraine, a non-member nation, risking nuclear war is a power play endangering the entire world.
We should pull out of NATO. pic.twitter.com/7XcYWmvATU

Following up Thursday morning, Greene grumbled that “while no one agrees with the war in Ukraine,” the bigger concerns are high gas prices, inflation, immigration, and the “high crime” rates in the U.S. (MacroTrends has statistics showing crime on a fairly steady decline in the U.S. since the 1990s, with only a few scattered years over that period in which crime increased.)
While no one agrees with the war in Ukraine, with the highest inflation in 40 yrs, debilitating gas prices, a deadly border national crisis, and high crime in America, the American people have no appetite for a war with Russia.
No matter how bad the warmongers want it.

She called for protests to stop “this insane President” from sending the nation into nuclear war, and declared that the current “fragile state” of the U.S. means Russia will destroy us. (Everyone remembers what happened last time the right called on their supporters to ‘protest’ and stop the government from doing something they didn’t like, right?)
Maybe now is the time to go “into the streets” to stop this insane President and his cabinet from sending us into a NUCLEAR WAR with Russia.
With our current fragile state, WW3 will destroy us all.
And it won’t matter how you vote.
Stop the drums of war!

Ironically, she brought up a topic that the left has long expressed concerns about — the amount of tax dollars the U.S. pours into military spending — and appeared to blame it on Ukraine, suggesting that the nation should have allied with Russia instead of “grinding up Ukraine to fight.”
$54 billion to Ukraine in a proxy war w/ Russia against the American people’s will.
American taxpayers are basically funding almost all the defense of Europe, and Ukraine is NOT a NATO member.
Grinding up Ukraine to fight with Russia is disgusting, they could have been an ally. pic.twitter.com/FTQxXqRm7G

Despite Greene’s outlying views, there has been, overwhelmingly, bipartisan support for assisting Ukraine in its defense.
