Marjorie Taylor Greene s heart breaks every time Hollywood calls Russia the bad guy

Get the Full StoryIn a turnabout for the ages, recent days and weeks have seen a paradigm shift in how the U.S. and its elected representatives talk about and act towards Russia. Donald Trump, the sitting President of the United States, has described Ukrainian president and war-leader Zelenskyy as a dictator while also suggesting that Ukraine somehow bore responsibility for the war, in which Russia attacked Ukraine in an unprovoked invasion. The president even got into a highly public, literally videoed, argument with Zelenskyy at the White House reportedly because Trump felt insulted by Zelenskyy s lack of a suit. With such an attitude right at the top, it s not at all surprising that it s filtered down into the rank and file members. Almost as if she s a programmed automaton designed to be wheeled out when necessary, Marjorie Taylor Greene has weighed in with her opinions on Russia and it s not great. Writing on X, the social media platform owned by Trump s close ally and head of DOGE Elon Musk, MTG penned a heartfelt post about how much she dislikes that Russia is always portrayed as the bad guy in movies. Have you ever noticed how for decades now Hollywood always made Russia the bad guy in their movies? It s like Americans have been programmed to believe Russia must be the enemy at all times.And now after years of sending billions and billions of dollars to Ukraine and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene RepMTG March 1, 2025 Blaming Hollywood for this, rather than the Russian elite s warmongering, or its clandestine infiltrations of other states, or its state-sponsored poisoning attacks, MTG suggests that Americans have been programmed to think of Russia as an enemy. As if Russia s own actions across the globe weren t enough to do just that without any help! There is a small amount of nuance in MTG s X post, although not very much. Her call for peace is one echoed across the world, as most sane people want the war in Ukraine to end and for peaceful, profitable trade relations to open up once again. Nobody wants any more war deaths or any further casualties. The problem is that peace has always been in Russia s control: Russia did not have to invade Ukraine. Russia does not have to continue invading Ukraine. This is a Russian war perpetrated by Putin, one which could end and could have ended at any time if the Russian dictator decided to end it. It is simply not reasonable to suggest that Ukraine should abandon its sovereignty, its territorial integrity, or its identity to appease a warmongering neighbour to its east. Especially not when Russia has broken an agreement also signed by the U.S. to support Ukraine s borders and territorial integrity. MTG can peddle her doctored rhetoric as much as she wants, but not everyone is going to be blinded by her empty words. Ukraine was a signatory of the Budapest Memorandum which included non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, which they honored. Russia broke the terms of the Budapest Memorandum in 2014 when they violated the borders of Ukraine by annexing Crimea.Russia broke the signed deal. Displaced New Yorker SoonerOnSONAR March 2, 2025 Yeah, Russia is the aggressor here. They wrongfully attacked Ukraine, this might actually be one thing Hollywood got right. moriah humphries HumphriesMoe March 2, 2025 You are a total idiot and Russian propagandist. RUSSIA is evil, Marjorie. Putin kills his enemies. They drop out of windows, die by poisoning, Putin INVADED UKRAINE. Putin continues to bombard and destroy UKRAINE. Do you think that we should just quickly lift sanctions on this Dede Watson Dede_Watson March 1, 2025 Other users pointed out that Russia isn t exactly falling over itself to make friends with the U.S. either, spreading exactly the same kinds of violent and aggressive rhetoric as it always has. Russian state media and commentators have described America as the country s main enemy. These are not the words of a friendly country. Have you tried to listen to Russians themselves? They are quite frank in their statements. pic.twitter.com EUt7RUeu6G Marsikus Marsikus March 1, 2025 Marjorie Taylor Greene s comments can t be understood in isolation. She s a mere part of a wider trend where the Republican Party under Trump has undergone and is still undergoing a massive shift in its priorities and views, a symptom rather than a cause. It was once unthinkable for an American president to talk about leaving NATO, to praise Putin, or to cover for Russia s unprovoked invasions of other countries. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case and while the world waits to see how this all shakes out, Ukraine still burns.
