No sooner had I given up on the US Congress when Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green said that “Ukraine is the new Iraq wrapped up with a pretty little NATO bow, with a nuclear present inside.” She said that instead of sending weapons and billions of dollars to Ukraine, the US should pull out of NATO and avoid nuclear war by ceasing to provoke the Russians.
“Grinding up Ukraine to fight with Russia is disgusting, Russia could have been an ally,” she tweeted.
“Warmongers in Washington seeking war with Russia should suit up and go fight it” themselves, she suggested. “Send your kids and leave ours alone. Pay for it yourself.”
When an American hears such intelligent talk from inside the bought-and-paid-for-Congress, he has to cheer. His spirits pick up. He realizes that if there is one voice, there might be two, and that the possibility of America coming to its senses was not completely ruled out.
But reality crowds in. The Republicans are almost as determined to get rid of Marjorie Green as the Democrats. Independent thinkers who represent the American people instead of the powerful economic interests who fund the political campaigns and the neoconservative ideologues who rule Washington are a non-welcomed species in Washington.
Green has survived, so far, which shows a budding awareness of reality among the American people. The American political system cannot tolerate people like Green and aware, sentient Americans, so the public’s interest remains under threat.
