Adam Kinzinger has responded in classic fashion amid reports that president Donald Trump has shut down a U.S. military base in Greece.
For context, Greek media outlets recently reported that Trump had instructed the closure of a U.S. military hub situated in the Greek region of Alexandroupoli. The base has historically been a key logistical site for both U.S. and NATO operations throughout southeastern Europe, so its possible closure raised serious concerns among Greek officials.
U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered the shutdown of the U.S. military base in Alexandroupoli, Greece, according to Greek newspaper Dimokratia.

Since the Alexandroupoli base has been a source of contention for both Russia and Turkey—the latter of whom has long opposed U.S. military operations in the region—Greek media reported that Trump’s move to dismantle its military presence in Greece was at the behest of respective Presidents Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Greek reports also noted that, if requested by Putin and Erdogan, Trump’s decision represents a diplomatic concession that could alter the balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Greek outlets also reported the move as a strategic loss for Greece, which has worked to strengthen its military ties with the U.S. in recent years. The Alexandroupoli base plays a role in ing NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe, but Trump’s reported move to dismantle it, especially at the request of Putin, has caught the ire of Kinzinger. “If this is true Trump is the BIGGEST SISSY!” the politician and commentator wrote on X, adding that the president is “so scared of everyone!”

It marks the most recent time Kinzinger — a Republican who describing him as a “weak boy” in regards to his comments on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. As a reminder, Trump suggested it was Ukraine that started the war, and had the gall to label President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator.”
That lives up to the sentiment Kinzinger uses to describe Trump’s approach to Russia, but the president did his best to refute claims of the Alexandroupoli base’s closure. During a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump was asked by a reporter if he planned to close the military hub, to which he replied that the Greek media reports were “not a correct story.”

In any case, it is far from the first time Kinzinger has taken square aim at Trump. Just this week, he to be “quiet” amid his baffling response to the Potomac mid-air collision.
Even Kinzinger’s wife, Sofia, has a rebuke from Marjorie Taylor Greene, which is actually a sign that he must be doing something right.
