BREAKING NEWS: Marjorie Taylor Greene Unveils Amendments To Pull U.S. From NATO, End Ukraine Funding

much Smith I'll invite you up as well

you can join this panel as a seat for

you there gentlelady from Georgia Miss

green is recognized for whatever

Amendment she cares to discuss

thank you chairman Cole I appreciate it

um as the proud daughter of a former

United States uh navyman who served in

the Vietnam War

um I just want to say I I really want to

support the ndaa but I have some

amendments that I'd like to bring

forward I followed six amendments which

I would ask the rules committee to

consider Amendment 103 prohibits Ukraine

funding until a diplomatic solution to

the war is reached my Amendment

prohibits funds from being provided to

Ukraine until the president certifies to

Congress that a diplomatic solution has

been achieved to the war President

Biden's decision to send billions of

dollars worth of weapons and Aid to

Ukraine has engaged the United States in

a proxy war with Russia that we cannot

afford and jeopardizes all peace efforts

instead of funding an endless war

overseas the United States should seek

peaceful in to the conflict which will

save lives and I brought this as a

printout it's a copy from the Department

of Defense on what our Department of

Defense mission is it reads we are your

defense the Department of Defense is

America's largest government agency with

our military tracing its roots back to

pre-revolutionary times the department

has grown and evolved with our nation

our mission is to provide the military

forces needed to deter war and ensure

our nation's security those are two

things that is the mission for the

Department of Defense deter war and

ensure our nation's security funding a

war in Ukraine does neither one of those

and this is why there should be no

funding for a war in Ukraine that does

not meet the mission of the Department

of Defense

the next Amendment Amendment 104 strikes

the feasibility study on establishing a

center of excellence in Ukraine my

Amendment reorients our National Defense

policies and priorities towards America

First the U.S should not be

collaborating with the government of

Ukraine to establish any Center in

Ukraine regardless of the purpose

although I sympathize greatly with those

who have experienced traumatic brain

injuries and amputations we have

American veterans who have experienced

traumatic brain injuries as well as

amputations we should not be devoting

time and resources and putting the

people of Ukraine over American citizens

and over American veterans we should be

only helping our American citizens first

the next amendment I have is amendment

105. strikes 300 million of Ukraine

funding this bill includes 300 million

in additional funding for Ukraine my

Amendment would eliminate this provision

according to the Congressional research

service in 2022 the United States

provided a total of 113 billion in

funding to Ukraine the essentially

open-ended support provided to Ukraine

by Joe Biden is unsustainable increases

the risk of a direct conflict with a

nuclear-armed Russia and distracts for a

more urgent National Security priorities

Congress should not authorize another

penny for Ukraine and push the Biden

Administration to pursue peace and again

I would like to remind everyone what the

mission of the Department of Defense is

it states it on their website and that

is our mission is to provide the

military forces needed to deter war and

ensure our nation's security that's for

America because National Security not

Ukraine Ukraine is not the 51st state of

the United States of America

amendment number six directs the

president to withdraw the U.S from NATO

my Amendment would direct the president

withdrawal from NATO they are not a

reliable partner whose defense spending

should be paid for by American citizens

for the better part of the last decade

Germany has contributed only around one

percent of its GDP to finance NATO

obligations while the United States is

paying aro
