Joe Wilson, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district since 2001, has been vocal on various international issues through his social media presence. Known for his direct communication style, Wilson recently addressed topics ranging from U.S. foreign policy to geopolitical tensions.

On February 17, 2025, Wilson commented on President Trump's "Peace through Strength" policy. He noted that within a month of its implementation, "Colombia agrees to accept illegal aliens • Canada & Mexico agree to seal the border and fight drugs & crime • Almost a dozen freed U.S. hostages America is back".

The following day, February 18, 2025, Wilson criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin's approach to international agreements. He asserted that "War Criminal Putin understands only the language of force." He accused Russia of violating numerous commitments and treaties and emphasized the effectiveness of sanctions and military strength as means of dealing with Russia.

Later on the same day, he expressed concern over political developments in Georgia. In his view, "The brutal Ivanishvili regime has attacked Legitimate Georgian President @Zourabichvili_S & former Georgian PM Giorgi Gakharia." Wilson called for immediate sanctions and demanded free and fair elections in response to what he described as Georgia descending into dictatorship.
