Joe Wilson, a U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina’s 2nd district since 2001, recently shared his views on international affairs through a series of tweets. These reflections focus on global sanctions, Middle Eastern conflicts, and historical observations regarding the Soviet Union.

On March 31, 2025, Joe Wilson emphasized the need for strong economic actions against Russian figures by stating, "Sanction war criminal Putin’s shadow fleet for Maximum Leverage!"

In a subsequent message on the same day, he addressed the situation in Yemen, advocating for international support by saying, "The only way to ensure a permanent and enduring victory over the Houthis in Yemen is to support the legitimate Yemeni government."

On April 1, 2025, Wilson commemorated the history of Georgia’s struggle for independence, noting the ongoing demonstrations in the region. He tweeted, "On March 31, 1991, the people of the nation of Georgia decisively chose to restore independence after USSR occupation. As Georgians begin the 125th day of protests against the illegitimate regime, their commitment to freedom has never been stronger."
