Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Warns of Looming Nuclear War Threat in 2024 Election

[Social Media]

 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has issued a severe warning to voters, arguing that the current geopolitical landscape is perilously close to nuclear conflict. According to Kennedy, casting a vote for Kamala Harris equates to "a vote for nuclear war." His statement underscores rising global concerns over the potential for international tensions to escalate into a nuclear crisis.

Recent rhetoric from influential Russian figures, combined with worsening political situations in regions like the Middle East, Indo-Pacific, and the Korean Peninsula, have contributed to the unease around nuclear confrontation.

 

Kennedy, who suspended his presidential campaign in late August before endorsing Donald Trump, shared his remarks on social media, specifically through a video posted to his X account on Thursday. The video highlighted his concerns over former Vice President Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala Harris. Kennedy noted that Cheney, whom he accused of having "lied to get a war started" in reference to the 2003 Iraq invasion, represents a faction within the U.S. military and intelligence communities that "desire war," particularly a conflict with Russia over the Ukraine crisis.

 

Kennedy’s apprehension about Harris is rooted in her previous remarks on Russia, which he described as "belligerent and hostile." He pointed to her Democratic National Convention acceptance speech, where Harris criticized Trump, claiming he had "encouraged Putin to invade our allies." Kennedy contended that her words reflect a dangerous level of compliance, suggesting that she would be “a perfect pushover, a puppet for the military intelligence faction that wants this war.”

 

Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump in this context is significant. Trump has expressed a desire to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. In Kennedy’s view, "If JFK were alive today, he would be standing side by side with President Trump on this issue."

 

The Harris campaign has yet to respond to Kennedy’s statements. The topic of nuclear escalation has drawn broader concerns from officials within the Pentagon, such as Vipin Narang, who recently cautioned that the U.S. is now facing “nothing short of a new nuclear age.” Narang described an “unprecedented mix” of nuclear-armed nations with revisionist agendas, such as Russia, China, and North Korea, none of whom appear interested in arms control or reducing nuclear risks. Russia, in particular, continues to threaten nuclear escalation in Ukraine and has been developing a stockpile of low-yield nuclear weapons, unrestricted by existing treaties. 

 

Additionally, Narang pointed to an alarming trend: the strengthening alliance between Russia, China, and North Korea. He noted, “Any one of these nuclear challenges would be daunting by itself, but the simultaneity and growing collaboration and evidence of collusion between them is unprecedented.” This cooperation, he argued, demands a careful reevaluation of escalation dynamics and strategies for deterring opportunistic aggression in this new nuclear age.

 

As Kennedy’s statements continue to resonate within political and public spheres, the debate over nuclear policy and the broader implications of international alliances will likely become a significant factor in the upcoming election, posing urgent questions about the direction of U.S. foreign policy and national security.

Kennedy will take any angle that Trump directs him to. Kennedy is desperate for a position in a Trump administration, otherwise, his future in politics is dead. Fear mongering is a hallmark of Trump as always and more so now in his struggles to compete with Kamala Harris. There isn't going to be any self-defeating nuclear war.

The only thing going nuclear is RFK Jr.'s political future. His political worth can be measured in Trump crypto. 

[WDSmart]

I agree with RFK, Jr. that nuclear war is a looming threat, but I don't agree that the threat would be worse with Harris as our president than Trump.

Ok you guys.. fact check what he said and then return with proof either Kennedy is lying or he is working or a puppet for Putin. Otherwise, You should stop posting stuff with just uniformed opinions because you hate TRump.

RFK Jr. is likely the dumbest member of the Kennedy clan. A vote for Trump is more likely to cause an apocalypse. He wants to destroy Gaza, Iran and who knows where else. He is a very, very dangerous man. 

 

Mr. Trump could simply decide that he had no intention of honoring America’s commitments abroad.

 

Rupturing America’s alliances would lead to arms races and nuclear proliferation in Asia and Europe. Nationalists like Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, and Serbia’s president, Aleksandar Vucic, who is known as a “little Putin,” would be emboldened to strengthen their ties with the Kremlin and undermine European security.

And the domestic consequences could be severe. Many of Mr. Trump’s economic advisers, including the former trade chief Robert Lighthizer (a leading candidate to be the Treasury secretary under Mr. Trump), are apparently intent on pursuing the Great Depression redux — waging trade wars with Europe and Asia. They’re floating a host of other risky measures, including curbing the independence of the Federal Reserve, weakening the dollar to try to increase exports and imposing high tariffs on goods from China and Europe.

While Mr. Biden’s new tariffs on China aggressively target the solar industry and electric cars, Mr. Trump wants to decouple the world’s two largest economies from each other. These measures would weaken the confidence of foreign investors and fuel higher inflation.

I think Harris would jump into a nuclear war faster than Trump. But Democrats are currently behind. So there is a good chance Trump will win. He has more than 50%  of voters choosing him in the swing states that give the most electoral votes. Harris's popularity has dwindled considerably.
