WASHINGTON — Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has emerged as a vocal critic of recent U.S. foreign interventions, particularly in Venezuela, while warning against escalating tensions with Iran. Greene argues that these operations prioritize foreign interests over the well-being of everyday Americans and undermine the “America First” principles that she says voters overwhelmingly support.
Greene sharply criticized the U.S. military campaign to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, describing the operation as a distraction from pressing domestic issues. “Americans are tired of being ignored while Washington repeats the same playbook,” she said. “We are told these wars are about freedom and safety, but they rarely benefit the people they claim to protect.”
She questioned the rationale for targeting Maduro, highlighting the ongoing crisis of drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border. “If the goal was really to stop drugs from entering our country,” Greene said, “then why has there been no serious action against the Mexican cartels, which are responsible for the majority of fentanyl deaths?”
Greene also addressed concerns about Venezuela’s oil resources, suggesting that the intervention may be motivated by economic interests rather than the stated goal of protecting Americans. “Removing Maduro looks like a move to secure Venezuelan oil and prepare for the next obvious war in Iran,” she said. Greene argued that such strategies repeat patterns from past interventions that ultimately benefit big corporations and Washington insiders, not ordinary citizens.
On the issue of Iran, Greene has consistently emphasized caution and restraint. She has warned that escalating conflict risks entangling the United States in prolonged wars that divert resources from domestic priorities. “Many in MAGA thought they voted to end endless military aggression,” Greene wrote on social media. “Boy were we wrong. Our focus should be on protecting Americans and strengthening our country at home, not engaging in foreign battles that do not serve our interests.”
Supporters of Greene see her stance as a principled call to reorient U.S. policy toward domestic needs. They argue that her approach emphasizes security, economic stability, and public safety over costly foreign interventions. Greene’s message resonates with constituents who are frustrated by decades of U.S. involvement abroad while domestic challenges remain unresolved.
As discussions continue in Congress about America’s role overseas, Greene remains a prominent voice advocating for restraint and prioritizing the needs of the American people. Her comments underline a growing debate over whether the United States should continue its pattern of foreign interventions or adopt a more cautious, America-first approach.
