Joe Wilson, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district, has shared a series of tweets expressing his views on recent international political developments. Known for his firm stance on foreign policy issues, Wilson's statements reflect his perspectives on events in Syria and Georgia.

On December 8, 2024, Wilson tweeted about the Assad regime in Syria: "The Assad crime family has terrorized the people of Syria for over 50 years. The reign of terror is over." He acknowledged the challenges ahead but praised the Syrian people's perseverance despite global neglect.

Later that day, he marked a significant milestone with another tweet: "Celebrating December 8th, 2024 as the day the brutal Assad Regime fell." This post highlighted his support for what he perceives as a pivotal moment in Syrian history.

On December 9, 2024, Wilson turned his attention to Georgia's political situation. He tweeted: "The illegitimate puppet government of Georgia continues to brutally crack down on Georgians." Wilson called for sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili and associated individuals to prevent further authoritarianism in Georgia.
