Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday condemned the economic sanctions imposed against Russia, claiming they act as a “precursor to war” and blasted President Joe Biden for sending more military aid to Ukraine to defend themselves against Russian invaders while predicting that Russia won’t be defeated.
“Sanctions Act merely as a precursor to war, a sign of battle lines being drawn,” the Georgia Republican said in a video address to her supporters.” Greene laid out the case against helping the Ukrainians with more weapons.
“If we truly care about suffering and death on our television screens, we cannot fund more of it by sending money and weaponry to fight a war they cannot possibly win!” she argued. “The only effect of more arms and more money from America will be to prolong the war!”
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be responsible for creating even more refugees and orphans in an already traumatized and dysfunctional world. It’s not our responsibility to give President Solinsky and the Ukrainian people false hope about a war that cannot win,” she insisted.

She then pivoted to attack Biden and former President Barack Obama for the conflict that Vladimir Putin started, and suggested that Russia’s victory is certain.
“But given the Obama State Department and the Biden administration’s interference in Ukraine over the years, we do now have a duty to help peacefully resolve the conflict by brokering peace talks and a successful peaceful resolution,” she said. “We can do all this without spending a dime and without shipping bombs to further inflame a war whose outcome already seen certain.”
Greene then claimed that she wanted to stop arming Ukraine because “as Christians” she didn’t want to produce “any more human suffering.”
