Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would direct President Biden to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. She argues that European countries are not reliable partners and are not paying their fair share of NATO obligations, while the U.S. pays around 4% of its GDP to defend NATO countries. Greene claims that European countries could and should pay more to ensure NATO security instead of relying on U.S. taxpayers. She introduced the amendment on the same day that President Biden expressed the U.S.'s “ironclad commitment” to NATO at a NATO summit in Lithuania, where NATO leaders also declared that Ukraine’s future is in NATO

If she’s not a Russian asset, she’s at least parroting their talking points.

Since we’re all asking for various content filters, can I kindly request that all posts about this woman have an NSFW tag so I don’t have to see that face in my feed?

She doesn’t understand the concept of soft power and how much a bit of money will get you what you want.

She does, it’s just that she’s the one receiving the money.

Russian talking points masquerading as maverick Republican moves. Her base won’t know the difference, which may be the real issue.

I’m literally on the other side of the world to her and I can see that she’s either a blithering idiot, a Russian asset, or a blithering idiot being used by a Russian asset.

She’s a useful idiot. The issue is that the GOP doesn’t want democracy. They want a dictator they agree with. So they always echo fascist talking points because they’re also fascists.
