Joe Wilson, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district, shared his views on international politics through a series of tweets in late January 2025. Known for his strong positions, Wilson commented on issues involving Russia, Iraq, and Hungary.

On January 29, 2025, Joe Wilson made a bold claim regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin. In his tweet, he stated: "Putin kills Evangelical Christians". This statement reflects Wilson's critical stance towards Putin's policies and actions.

Later that day, at 21:01 UTC, Wilson addressed the situation in Iraq. He criticized the Iraqi judicial system by stating: "Iraq’s Supreme Court is unconstitutional and has become an Iranian regime tool. Chief Justice Jassim Abboud Ameri is Iranian and Badr Corps puppet. The Iraqi justice system must be sanctioned or entirely reformed." His comments suggest a call for international intervention or reform in Iraq.

In another tweet posted on January 30, 2025, at midnight UTC, Wilson expressed disappointment with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's political alliances. He tweeted: "Sadly, Orbán is misguided. While I admire his stand against Soviet communism & woke ideology, he has invited the Chinese Communist Party, the Iranian regime & War Criminal Putin into Europe & NATO & supported rigged elections in Georgia. Trump will fix it." This message highlights Wilson's concerns about geopolitical influences within Europe and his support for former President Donald Trump's potential involvement.
