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.

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

The Zeepers are disgusting, bloodthirsty morons that post the same crap over and over and then reply to themselves 10 to 20 times.

the neocons have always been Democrats. They’re support all the social issues pushed by the democrats. They only left the Media-Dem Party when the dems started being the “party of peace”. These are people like Bill and Irvin Crystal, Max Boot, Richard Perl, Elliot Abrams, etc. Unfortunately, it was Reagan who welcomed them into the republican party. This is the crowd who has pushed for endless wars in the Middle East, starting with getting Reagan to send troops into Lebanon in 1982. During the Trump administration, a lot of the neo-cons started gravitating back toward their original home.

I don’t know what neoconservative are nor neoliberals. Trump speaks plainly. He doesn’t use fake intellectual terms like these

Ukraine is a Biden crime family fiasco. Iraq has nothing to do with it. Nor do neocons whatever they are or any non democrat non Biden entity.

Neocons are republican war pushers— but of 20 years ago.

Pretty clear now why you wanted to 'start' with Ukraine and not Iraq or Afghanistan...it helps you avoid the elephant in the room.

McCain decided to go into ukraine? He’s been dead before the democrats impeached Trump for sniffing around in the Biden money laundering scheme over there

Lindsay Graham fake Republican got us tgere?

You’re going along with democrat RFK Jrs pointing the finger at Lindsay Graham just because he never saw a war he didn’t like?

What exactly was the point in which Lindsay Graham single handed my got us involved

Neocons were democrats in the late 60s/70s. They left the D party because the D party became the antiWar party. They joined the R party but never became Republicans. They are war mongers and they have ruined the USA. They should be tarred and feathered and run out of the USA.

Iraq and Afghanistan were wars that Trump worked successfully to get us out of. They were farces that the bushes got us into over issues that whe the truth comes out about them the country will be reeling

And they are over. Because Trump worked to stop the foreign wars. Trump did not get us involved in ukraine. This democrat White House, Biden, his Obama groomed pentagon and the democrat congress with the democrat supporting trump hating republicans supporting them all the way

Did the ‘neocons’ leave $$83 billion in armaments in Afghanistan for them and tge Chinese to use, copy and market? Or was that the Biden Obama groomed pentagon?

This RFK piece is drivel ignoring the current issues.

I think RFK getting into this election will be a good thing and a disruption to the RATs.

Whatever ‘neocons’ means, Trump was and is working on this. He already addressed Afghanistan and the Middle East but RFK pretends republicans still have us over there. That’s stupid

Ukraine involvement is pure democrat. Biden and democrat congress. Only since republicans took the house is there any push back.

Neocons?

RFK is full of it.
