JUST IN: Marjorie Taylor Greene Introduces Amendment To Block Funding For NATO And Ukraine

gentoman from Georgia thank you madam speaker uh my Amendment strikes funding for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO security investment program my Amendment would strike over $433 million in NATO funding from the bill America should not be doing out hundreds of millions of dollars to International organizations to help them fight their enemies especially when they are unwilling to fight for themselves as of 2023 a majority of NATO countries do not meet their pledge to spend a minimum of 2% of their GDP on defense the United States has been financing and promising to defend NATO countries for decades and paying more than its fair share all while countries like Germany fail to fulfill their NATO obligations European countries could and should be stepping up their financial contributions to ensure the security of NATO instead they prefer the US taxpayer to foot the bill and if the time comes for American Service members to die for them our continued involvement in NATO only undermines the security of our nation because it embroils the United States in other Count’s military entanglements even if the United States has no direct interest this is exactly what has happened in Ukraine which could become a part of NATO billions of American taxpayer dollars go to the corruption capital of the world and the sanctions placed on Russia end up actually hurting Americans as long as we remain a member of NATO the United States will continue to function as the military ATM of European countries at the expense of our own citizens putting our own National Security and our economy at risk if the United States further involves itself in NATO it may be another 20 years of Afghanistan all over again except the outcome may end up being much much worse Madam speaker I reserve General wom Reserve

  2. That's right MTG speak for All American citizens why are we funding these organizations that does not reside in America and NATO is one of them UN is one of them w h o is another one of them there's a lot of defunding that needs to go on around our damn country and especially in the federal government agencies all of THEM PERIOD

  4. Marjorie works harder than any left wing or progressive lay about in Congress! NATO countries should be sanctioned if they don't pay their dues. You don't have to like her to understand what she's trying to achieve.

  8. You think any of these countries will help us even no we have given trillions and faught for them in there countries against terrorists trying to take over there countries

  16. JesuseffingChrist! It is painfully OBVIOUS that she has NO CLUE about NATO, national security strategy, foreign policy, HISTORY, math, US treaties, international laws, local government, her own obligation to the position she holds, how to speak to others, how to tell the truth, what Jesus would do or self discipline. We want our money back…

  17. MTG & Trump's Maga sycophants continue decimating civility in Congress & across the nation. Their atrocious behavior as examples for their constituents gives permission to them to act accordingly in essence putting good people's lives in danger. She knowingly makes the decision. VOTE BLUE FOR DEMOCRACY LIKE YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT. IT DOES.
