LOS ANGELES, CA—JUNE 19, 2023—Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. responded today to remarks by Secretary of State Antony Blinken last Friday in a speech in Finland, in which Blinken dismissed calls for a ceasefire in the conflict and called for further transfers of high-tech weaponry and aircraft to Ukraine.
In response, Mr. Kennedy said:
“Blinken’s speech highlights once again that the Biden Administration has no intention of ending this conflict peacefully. The plan, which members of the administration including Blinken have explicitly admitted on numerous occasions, is to use Ukraine to achieve the larger geopolitical goal of weakening Russia. In other words, the Ukrainians are cannon fodder in a U.S. proxy war against Russia.
“Blinken’s statement is consistent with reports in Foreign Affairs magazine last September citing numerous American former security officials that Russia and Ukraine had actually reached a tentative peace agreement in April 2022. That deal was scuttled after Boris Johnson, doubtless at the behest of the Biden Administration, visited Kyiv on April 9. Later, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who was trying to mediate between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenski, stated that the U.S. and its allies blocked his mediation efforts.
“The pattern here is clear. Not only is the administration deceiving the American people about the motives for this costly and tragic war, but by continually escalating it they put the whole world at risk of nuclear conflagration.
“I call upon President Biden to heed the advice of John F. Kennedy in his 1963 Peace Speech, when he said: ‘Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.’”
In commemoration of that speech, Kennedy will be delivering a definitive address on peace on June 20 in New Hampshire that will set a dramatically different direction for American foreign policy in his administration. The speech will be livestreamed at 7 p.m. ET.
(Very, very unlikely I know but it's fun to watch ...)
He’s right.
The MSM wants you to believe this guy is a nutter.
“I really hope he catches fire in the DNC primary.”
Count me in, but I also don’t mind the Banderites (Nazis) there (in Ukraine) taking a bit a beating in the meantime.
A rational Democrat?
That’s as rare as a saber-toothed raccoon.
The same commie media today would call JFK a “Right wing zealot” if he were still alive..that’s today’s commie “Media” in action
Well, those New England liberals worship the Kennedy name. He just might pull something out.
Jfk was a sane president. Gave businesses a taxcutand that helped me find a job in manufacturing.
“There are better things for us to spend our money, and them to spend their lives on.”
Absolutely, it’s HORRIFIC there, but as long as they are willing (or forced) to fight, we’ll keep sending money and weapons there. Totally sucks!
I would vote for him, almost but not quite. He sounds good but if he somehow got elected, he’d probably cave to the Democrat mafia. Sad.
Ok people. He’s worth $10 a pop from each of us. Even if it’s for $hit disturber purposes. He’s also hitting a few triples we can all get into.
Just remember a triple is the most exciting play in baseball.
The DNC isn’t going to let Junior run. Trust me. They’re already doing the Super Delegate scam to protect Biden, and then Junior will withdraw from the race for “personal” reasons. He’s a threat to their order.
“The MSM wants you to believe this guy is a nutter.”
He is!
“A rational Democrat?”
Well, he appears to be a hardcore green warrior — totally sold on catastrophic manmade global warming.
Uses the “deniers” language, which is a red flag for rationality.
I’m starting to think how cool a Trump/Ramaswami vs Kennedy/Gabbard ticket would be.
In many aspects, RFK is a lunatic, but he’s a thinking one.
“A rational Democrat?
That’s as rare as a saber-toothed raccoon.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants a law to ‘punish global warming skeptics’

You’re right- it IS gonna be fun to watch. Can’t wait…
Well, for any of us that have been around here longer than 3 months, we know full well that he is. Someone who wants to put people in prison for disagreeing with his far left views on climate change would qualify as “nutter.”
