Marjorie Taylor Greene is being slammed online for claiming that a video showing US lawmakers visiting Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky proves the country is safe, because a Republican delegation wasn’t wearing bulletproof vests as they toured Kyiv.
“Notice U.S. elected politicians like [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] and [Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell] can go visit Zelensky in Ukraine without bullet proof vests/helmets or any fear from dangers of war, while they eagerly give billions to fund their proxy war w/ Russia,” the Georgia Republican wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
“If the conditions in Ukraine were so grave to warrant the U.S. sending $54 billion, then our highest ranking leaders would not be able to go,” she added.

..."The right-wing representative has voted against all but one Ukraine-related aid bill, according to an analysis from Business Insider.
The lone-exception was a non-binding resolution expressing support for the Ukrainian people and their territorial sovereignty.
"I feel very sorry for the Ukrainian people, but I was elected to represent my district in Georgia," she recently told The Washington Post of her stance, noting instead concerns about border security, inflation, gas prices, and the baby formula shortage. "Has it stopped Putin? Let me ask you, has Vladimir Putin stopped his war in Ukraine because of all these sanctions? No, not at all."
The House of Representatives has seen a current of GOP opposition towards Ukraine support efforts, with 57 Republicans voting against a $40bn aid package, 56 voting against a debt relief bill, and 63 voting against an affirmation of US support for Nato."

By the same logic, it was safe in Afghanistan when trump visited in 2019. Why didn't we get out of Afghanistan then?

But Kyiv is center of left and right. And all the is presently East and south. Well except for those pesky middle that can reach where they are.
