'We should pull out of NATO': Marjorie Taylor Greene says it's time to let Putin win

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday threw her support toward letting Russian President Vladimir Putin win by pulling the United States out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Writing on Twitter, Greene slammed the Biden administration for continuing to supply Ukraine with the weapons it says it needs to repel the Russian military invasion that began back in February.

"The American people do not want war with Russia, but NATO and our own foolish leaders are dragging us into one," Greene wrote. "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."

In reality, both the Biden administration and NATO have ruled out getting directly militarily involved in Ukraine, even though many member nations are shipping the country weapons that it's using to fight the Russians.

It's only when capitalism is threatened (or even threatened to be regulated) do they give a shit about the "rights" of anyone.

If they can't be overthrown, they must be economically isolated and destabilized.

Been this way since the 1950's.

There's a small chance she could be defeated in November if she strays too far into Crazyland.

In any case, she has zero power or influence in the House of Representatives, so let her rant on as much as she wants. She is a nutcase. Let's let everyone see just how far gone she really is.

She is a freshman in the House. She has nothing to offer anyone, and has zero influence in that house of Congress.

with a clip of ex-speaker Denny Hastert.

It was weirdly fascinating watching as her body language, inflection, tone and tenor all mimic Hastert's so precisely.
