Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces amendment directing Biden to withdraw from Nato (www.independent.co.uk)

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

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.
