RFK tells it like it is. 1.5 minute video.
Thank you, great post
Thank you, great post
Well played.
Too bad that your opinion doesn't change the facts and the course of the war. The Ukraine has already lost so the only thing left to decide is to figure out how to carve it up.
A worthy goal for anyone who loves America.
Is RFK jr. being paid by Putin to tell the truth?

Are you infected with the Russian Derangement Syndrome?
Everything RFK stated is historically correct.
Let the EU pay for the war. I’m tired of them sliding along not paying their share. Putin and Zelensky are both evil. A shame that the Ukrainian people are being sacrificed to hide Zelensky’s crimes
Thank you, great post

I see you know your history. Many look to senile Joe’s “ recollection” for “ truth”.
As for history, I remember the day JFK was assasinated, and when Khrushchev beat his shoe on the UN table stating America will be buried….given our current leadership, I may just see that day.
This is a hoax.
A standard trick of Russian, and, before that, of Soviet diplomacy is to get some statement by a minor functionary of what a nation intends to do, and then claim that is has an ironclad promise by that nation, that it will do so. Russia has no treaty promise, from NATO or any of her member nations, that NATO would not expand Eastward. You should not still be falling for this. President Putin is the least trustworthy source on the invasion of the Ukraine that I can name, even though the Ukraine, President Biden, and the institutional press have had a lot to say about it, and I don’t trust any of them at all.
What actually is a treaty obligation, is Russia’s promise to guarantee the territorial integrity of Ukraine, given as part of the deal under which all Soviet nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil were delivered to Russia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a treaty violation. The various people opposing Russia’s invasion are not in treaty violation. This is completely one-sided.
I have enough information to know that both Russia and the West have been meddling in the Ukraine’s government. I would have to be even dumber than I am to trust President Putin’s description of them. I do know that President Putin has described Ukrainians as wanting to join Russia, when they actually hate Russia. In that sense, his description is the only one from someone who I have caught telling lies about a closely-related area.
Rep. Kennedy’s statement that the Crimea held “their” only warm-water port, is false. “They” is Russia, and Russia had zero warm-water ports. A nearby nation did have one that they could conquer. That’s not the same thing.
One of the problems with the breakup of the Soviet Union, is that the Soviet Union was never designed to be modular. It was Politburo policy to use Russia to oppress the other republics, to keep them in check, and to make Russians feel important, thus to discourage everyone from revolting. The coup against Gorbachev was a grab for power over the Soviet Union as a whole. Yeltsen’s counter-coup had the effect of transferring power from the Soviet Union level, to the level of the provinces (called “republics”, although they weren’t). The Soviet Union was never prepared for a split, and it happened largely by accident.
It should probably be noted that NATO has not gotten one inch closer to Moscow’s empire. It can’t. NATO was formed at the very border of the empire. The fundamental concept of NATO was to prevent Moscow from conquering it’s way further West. If they tried to advance even one foot, they would have to fight everybody.
What actually has been happening is that the empire has (thank God) been shrinking. Europe had an unusual half-century of near-peace precisely because NATO existed at the very border of the empire, preventing further encroachments. If we want another generation of peace in Europe, we would probably have to do that again. If Moscow gives up on it’s imperialist aggression, that wouldn’t be needed, but that doesn’t look likely. As long as Moscow is still on an imperialist tear, Europe remains an unstable place.

Zeepers do this every single week
I've said it before here and I'll say it again and the devil with who ever doesn't like it:They didn't shoot enough Kennedys.
Warm Water Port ??????
His statement about the U.S. installing a government in Ukraine in 2014 is nonsense.
Sounds reasonable to me.
by a minor functionary of what a nation intends to do
Ok, then, i blame Vindeman. Prove me wrong. 😑
“I repeat this post to warn any new lurkers that Martin Armstrong is a convicted felon.”
Armstrong used to write a market commentary column that was entertaining to read. I think he borrowed his ideas from Kondratieff wave, Kitchin cycle, Juglar cycle, that sort of thing.
When he went missing for awhile I wondered what had happened to him, and it turned out that he was jugged by the Feds for misappropriating his client’s gold bars. Some kind of Ponzi scheme. Getting sent to the slammer probably out a dent into his investment advisor business so now maybe he’s moved on to politics.
Gorbachev himself debunked Putin’s narrative before he died.
James Baker wrote a draft proposing the USA not extend NATO into Warsaw Pact territory. Gorbachev refused to have that on paper because it’d be tantamount to the USA saying that the Warsaw Pact would break free from Soviet Union control whether Moscow liked it or not.
When the Belovezha Accords stated at the very top that the “geopolitical reality” established by the existence of the Soviet Union NO LONGER EXISTS, it explicitly nullified the control over the Soviet republics AND the Warsaw Pact region.
Putin’s argument is a bit like filing for divorce, getting it, getting to keep the arsenal in the rec room, keeping the dog, and fifteen years later getting so pissed that your ex is engaged to a guy you don’t like that you start arguing you were unfairly kicked to the kerb.
Putin isn’t a strong man, he’s the capo de tutti capo of narcissistic, butthurt sad sacks who can’t stop bullying their exes.
