Joe Wilson, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina’s 2nd district since 2001, has recently shared his perspectives on international political matters through social media posts. Known for his commitment to strong foreign relations and defense policies, Wilson's comments focus on geopolitical issues involving Georgia, Germany, and sanctions against certain regimes.

On March 22, 2025, Joe Wilson expressed support for the people of Georgia in their opposition to what he describes as the "tyrannical Ivanishvili regime." He emphasized their desire for strong ties with America while rejecting any alliances with Iran or China. In his tweet, Wilson stated: "The courageous Georgian People are patriots who want a strong country with close ties to America. They reject the tyrannical Ivanishvili regime and its attempt to sell Georgia to the Iranian regime and the Chinese Communist Party. The USA stands with Georgia! #MEGOBARI".

On March 24, 2025, Wilson commended Germany for amending its constitution to eliminate a debt brake that previously limited defense spending. This change aims at bolstering military capabilities and supporting Ukraine's defense efforts. Wilson acknowledged this move by tweeting: "Grateful to our allies in Germany for changing their constitution to remove the debt brake for defense spending to rebuild their military and support Ukraine’s defense. Next step is to send Taurus".

Later that day, he praised German sanctions imposed on what he termed as the "illegitimate Ivanishvili regime," suggesting that more such measures were forthcoming and advocating for democratic elections as a solution forward. His tweet read: "Grateful for German sanctions on the illegitimate Ivanishvili regime. More sanctions are coming. Free and fair elections are on the only way forward!".
