Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said on “The Megyn Kelly Show” that Americans are against giving Ukraine security guarantees such as Article V protection. “I don’t think the American people will be happy about sending American troops with an Article V security agreement and promise to Ukraine,” Greene told Kelly. “I don’t think that’s what the American people want. I think they want completely out of it, because most Americans are looking at their daily lives, they’re looking at their bills, their rent payments. Young people today can’t buy a house. They’re looking at health insurance, which is a complete scam and a rip-off.” “It doesn’t make sense to say Ukraine can never join NATO, but yet, here we are, the United States, [the] most powerful country in the world, We are going to give you Article V, a guarantee security agreement… and why do they deserve it, is my question,” Greene said.

MEGYN KELLY: In the Oval Office, President Trump, who’s meeting with Zelensky, was just asked about what kind of commitments are we ready to make with respect to our troops in keeping any possible peace in Ukraine, because his emissary, Steve Witkoff, his envoy, had said, the security deals are basically being negotiated, which sounds like us… Your thoughts on what, if any presence we should be having over in Ukraine? REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: We’re just taking what the President just spoke of in the Oval Office. I think he’s talking about potential Article V security agreements… which I’m against. Look, I campaigned all over the country for President Trump, not just in 2024 but literally for years, and I can tell you right now, the American people are very much against foreign wars, funding foreign wars, sending American troops into foreign countries to protect their borders, their interests, their people. They are appalled that we’ve spent $ 200 billion or more in Ukraine thus far, since 2022, and I don’t think the American people will be happy about sending American troops with an Article V security agreement and promise to Ukraine. I don’t think that’s what the American people want. I think they want completely out of it, because most Americans are looking at their daily lives, they’re looking at their bills, their rent payments. Young people today can’t buy a house. They’re looking at health insurance, which is a complete scam and a rip-off. And they’re going, Okay, how much more is this going to cost me? So that’s my first reaction here… It doesn’t make sense to say Ukraine can never join NATO, but yet, here we are, the United States, [the] most powerful country in the world, We are going to give you Article V, a guarantee security agreement… and why do they deserve it, is my question. I was one of the only members of Congress who voted no from the beginning to fund the Ukraine war, and I took a very strong position, and literally, I was on my own… I just saw it from my dad. [He] was a combat war veteran in Vietnam, and just growing up with a father that had been drafted and parents that had lived through the Vietnam War, that whole generation, which we love him so much and knowing so many of family members and friends that served in everything from Desert Storm to Iraq and Afghanistan and all these Middle Eastern wars, and as a member of Congress, constantly hearing from veterans that have so many broken issues, whether it’s physical or mental, with PTSD, and can’t get their needs met at the VA and then knowing that their suicide numbers are still 22 a day. It’s just common sense. It’s like we can’t do this anymore, and we’re broke. America’s broke. We’re $ 37 trillion in debt. And at some point we have to start saying no to the rest of the world and just completely say No, we can’t. We’ve got to focus here, or we’re going to implode one day. MEGYN KELLY: I have sympathy, of course, for the Ukrainian people. What’s happened is terrible. They’ve had terrible leaders, and Vladimir Putin is not a good man, nobody’s going to dispute that, but not everything can be our problem. And the problem is we had Democrats who were messing with Ukraine and kind of trying to make it our problem for a number of years, which I think led us to feeling some obligation, understandably, but at this point, you’ve got these two stubborn leaders, I don’t know what’s going to happen… How do you see this ending? REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I’m not sure. I do want to say I put a lot of faith and hope in the president, because we all win if he’s successful in ending it. However, what does America have to continue to commit to these countries in order to end their wars that we had nothing to do with, even the Ukraine-Russia war really started in 2014 under Barack Obama. Everybody thinks it started in 2022, it didn’t. It started way back then. And then we can look at the war with Israel and Gaza, or Israel and Iran, or whoever in the Middle East. We haven’t started those wars either. And then we can say, well, what wars do we pick to get involved in? What about the ones in Africa where Christians are slaughtered all the time?
