Move over, James Bond—Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says decades of Hollywood spy thrillers have turned Americans into anti-Russia robots. The Georgia Republican’s latest social media rant claims it was Holywood’s Cold War-era villains who “programmed” the public to see Russia as enemy number one, and not the Cold War itself.

🎬 What We Know: The Georgia Republican fired off a social media broadside this week, blaming Russian villains in films like Rocky Four and Red Dawn for conditioning Americans to reflexively distrust Russia. “Ever notice how Russia’s always the bad guy?” she wrote. Her post coincided with a fiery Oval Office clash between former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky over stalled security deals.

💬 Greene’s Script: She doubled down by slamming the 113 billion dollars in U.S. aid sent to Ukraine, calling the war a “cash furnace” driving global inflation. Her solution? Ditch sanctions, boost trade, and let capitalism do the peacemaking.

Thee Post: Here is Greene’s post on X that you can read for yourself:

🤝 Meanwhile in Diplomacy: Greene’s comments come after a tense Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump, J.D. Vance and Zelensky. Trump booted Zelensky from the White House after the Ukrainian president refused to praise him during tense mineral rights talks. No handshakes. No joint statement. Just a mic drop moment that left European leaders scrambling to reaffirm support for Kyiv.

🚨 Why This Should Catch Your Attention: Greene’s rhetoric mirrors a growing GOP faction arguing Washington should cozy up to Moscow—not Kyiv. Critics call it a Kremlin-approved narrative, while Russian state media cheers the cracks in Western unity.
