RFK Jr: "The Neocon Projects" In Iraq And Ukraine Have "Made A Laughingstock Of US Military Power And Moral Authority"
Twitter ^ | April 3 2023 | Robert F Kennedy Jr

Posted on 04/06/2023 5:38:36 AM PDT by euram

The collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s new alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the Neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power. China has displaced the American Empire by deftly projecting, instead, economic power. Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world. The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the Neocon's short-lived “American Century.” The Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8.1 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughingstock of U.S. military power and moral authority, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as the global currency, cost millions of lives and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence.

They sure have. Several Freepers are happy about the misguided ukraine project and post non-stop drivel to show how enthusiastic they are about it all.

If he just replaces “neocon” with “uniparty” and “great reset crowd”... I think he may be onto something..

This guy better some deliver some dem turmoil because otherwise I’d be fine never seeing a Kennedy again. The American familial political dynasties are BS.

He’s going to be a big problem for the Democrats.

Kennedy is actually being very smart on this.

He is running for the Democrat Presidential slot, not Republican.

Uniparty, Rinos and great reset are the bad guys for the conservative Republicans, Neocons are the bad guys of the Democrat Left.

RFK jr is simply playing to his audience in words they understand. It's a Democrat thing.

The destruction of the two “major” parties whose hands are wrapped around America’s throat is at hand, thank you, Lord.

Trump, Tulsi, Bernie and this dude are all traitors to the donor class that run both parties.

Put them in a blender and let’s see what comes out.

I’ll bet they will never let him debate. Of course, Biden will be in the basement anyway not doing debates, if he isn’t 25th’d by then…

He may be the ONE guy.. that can pull the Dems off the communist cliff..

He could be the guy that could say JFK and RFK would be considered extreme far right extremists by today’s standards.

Force the dems more towards the center, capture a LOT of the middle. And take quite a few of those center Repubs that feel the Dem party has abandoned them.

It will be interesting to see how well RFK Jr does in the Dem primary. He’s more of an old school pre-woke liberal who’s now considered something of an outsider because of his views on the vaxx and now questioning the Ukraine proxy war. I’m curious to see how the woke crowd reacts to him because he challenges their narrative.

Ya. Well that’s not going to happen. This guys a democrat. Neocons are republican war pushers— but of 20 years ago.

It’s a veiled shove at Trump as if he’s associated with the gop senate- who have not only rejected Trump but who are not in power and gop congress just took power

The Dems started this. Dems starry most wars

I s don’t care if jfk Jr comes out of wit Sec and runs for office kennedys are Dems

“I’ll bet they will never let him debate.”

Yep, if they can’t keep him off the stage, they’ll treat him like they treated Jim Webb in 2016.

The “moderator” will fail to give him a chance to speak.

RFK Jr needs to run third party to split the Democrat vote. He’ll get most of the votes from real voters and the Democrats’ preferred candidate with get most of the mail-in ballot votes.

“The Neocon Democrats is something I didn’t think I would see”

No such thing. And it’s all he’s got. No one with credibility can run without admitting the Dems have destroyed just about everything. He’ll try but he’ll look stupid

I would leave Bernie out, but I’ve always thought that if you could filter out the extremeand listened to each other there would have been a lot in common between OWS and the Tea Party.
