Trump Jr. and RFK Jr. warn of nuclear war risk

The US should make peace with Russia before triggering ‘Armageddon’, the Republican candidate’s son and US politician have said.

Washington should stop mistaking Russia’s restraint for weakness and open direct talks with Moscow right away, the Republican presidential nominee’s son Donald Trump Jr. and former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy have said.

RFK Jr, the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, endorsed Trump senior last month and cited the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its potential to escalate into a nuclear war as one of the main reasons.

The US and its allies allowing Ukraine to use their weapons for long-range strikes into Russia “would put the world at greater risk of nuclear conflagration than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis,” Trump and Kennedy wrote in an opinion piece published by The Hill on Tuesday.

Titled “Negotiate with Moscow to end the Ukraine war and prevent nuclear devastation,” the article argues that the US must focus on finding a “diplomatic off-ramp to a war that should never have been allowed to take place,” accusing the White House of pursuing a policy that Russia has explicitly said would amount to open war.

“Some American analysts believe Putin is bluffing, and favor calling his bluff,” Kennedy and Trump wrote. “These analysts are mistaking restraint for weakness. In essence, they are advocating a strategy of brinkmanship.”

Noting that the US has steadily expanded weapons deliveries to Kiev, from HIMARS rocket artillery and cluster munitions to Abrams tanks, F-16 fighter jets and long-range ATACMS missiles, Trump and Kennedy said that each step “draws the world closer to the brink of Armageddon.”

“Their logic seems to be that if you goad a bear five times and it doesn’t respond, it is safe to goad him even harder a sixth time,” they said. “Such a strategy might be reasonable if the bear had no teeth.”

The Biden-Harris White House seems to have “forgotten” that Russia is a nuclear power and has said multiple times it was ready to use such weapons if endangered, the authors argued.

“Imagine if Russia were providing another country with missiles, training and targeting information to strike deep into American territory. The US would never tolerate it. We shouldn’t expect Russia to tolerate it either,” they said.

Firing US missiles into Russia would inevitably lead to a nuclear exchange, Trump and Kennedy argued, warning that “this game of nuclear ‘chicken’ has gone far enough.”

No American interest is at stake in Ukraine, they argued, calling it “madness” to risk nuclear war for the sake of “the neoconservative fantasy of global ‘full-spectrum dominance’.” Such a war would end civilization and maybe even humanity, so de-escalating the Ukraine conflict is “more important than any of the political issues our nation argues about.”

The American public must “demand, right now, that [Vice President Kamala] Harris and President [Joe] Biden reverse their insane war agenda and open direct negotiations with Moscow,” Trump and Kennedy concluded.

Peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine broke down in the spring of 2022, with both sides accusing each other of making unrealistic demands. The US has since insisted that a peace deal can only be on Kiev’s terms, and repeatedly pledged to support and arm Ukraine for “as long as it takes.”

  1. And yet, neither of them are commenting on Israel’s goading and attacks on its enemies at a time when the US Navy has 2 carrier strike groups in the Eastern Mediteranian. In other words, whilst the USA projects power over Israel’s adversaries.

    What a coincidence

  2. It seems that nuclear war between the US and Russia is what the “deep state” wants. They’ve done “the virus thing” and so cannot do that again because people are now awake to it. People are aware of the false flag alien invasion so that’s not happening. Seems like a devastating war is all they have left. The “deep state” is determined to go “scorched Earth”.

    Hitler tried a similar thing near the end of WW2 as he realized that he was losing the war when he ordered his generals to destroy all the infrastructure in Germany (transport, food production and so on). The generals did not carry out the order because they realized what it really meant: The death of most Germans. The “deep state” is now trying a similar thing: They want to destroy the Earth and humanity as they lose all their power.

    The next few months are going to be tense for sure.

  3. How on earth does Trump’s and RFK’s comments make so much sense to me, yet apparently, make no sense whatsoever to the so-called leaders of the three nuclear armed countries that will bear the brunt of an ATOMIC WAR while the rest of spectator’s have to sit here and watch the conveyor belt roll on towards Armageddon?
    Seems to me the more woke, dumbocrat, alphabet and “expert” they are the more stupid they seem to get.

  4. The US is not interested in peace
    The Neocons suffer from the strong delusion they can win a nuclear war
    Which is the problem
    Biden is only there half of the time
    In more ways than one
