Greene furious over Ukraine minerals deal, Iran talks: ‘The base is not happy’

“I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran,” Greene said, in reference to ongoing talks with Iran over its nuclear program. A fourth round of talks that was slated to take place in Rome over the weekend has been postponed.
“I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength,” Greene said.
She then turned to the minerals deal the U.S. signed with Ukraine this week, which would give the U.S. a share of Ukraine’s natural resources if the U.S. sends more money to Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion. Greene argued that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “is a dictator who canceled elections” — which was due to the war — and was “involved of the first impeachment of Trump.”

(2,083 posts)Finally I see someone on the right says out loud what I always suspected. They don’t like Zelensky and Ukraine because of the impeachment stuff. I do get a chuckle when she has to clarify which impeachment though.

(1,381 posts)Once again, the anti-Semitism of the Trump base shows through in Greene's statement about Iran. i don't want war with Iran but not because Israel has its own nukes. I just don't want or like wars period unless they would be unavoidable to preserve our own survival.
