Politician Robert F Kennedy Jr
Politician Robert F Kennedy Jr urged the voters to vote for former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump if they wanted to avoid the nuclear war.
RFK Jr
, who is endorsing Donald Trump for the upcoming US presidential election, on Thursday said that voting for Vice President and Democratic candidacy Kamala Harris is like voting for nuclear war.
He gave several reasons to back his statement and claimed that
Dick Cheney
, who endorsed Harris, was the driving force on a group called the neocons which started the Iraq war in which the US launched an unprovoked attack in order to prevent Saddam Hussein from threatening the world with weapons of mass destruction.
In a video message posted on X, RFK Jr said, "If you want to avoid nuclear war, I strongly urge you to vote for Donald Trump. In fact, I would go so far as to say that a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for nuclear war. Here are some of my reasons for saying that. Former vice president Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala and she said she was honored to have his approval. Dick Cheney was the driving force on a group called the neocons which started the Iraq war in which the US launched an unprovoked preemptive attack, the first in its history in order to prevent Saddam Hussein from threatening the world with weapons of mass destruction. "
Watch video:
"As history now shows, there were no weapons of mass destruction. It was all a neocon lie. Most estimates are that over a million Iraqis died while the USA and allied forces suffered over 4800 deaths and over 32,000 wounded. We killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein ever did. This fraction of our military and intelligence establishment that we call the neacons, led by Dick Cheney faked the evidence of weapons of mass destruction because they wanted a war," he added.
In his video message, he also recalled the 1961 incident when President Eisenhower warned the American people of the dangers of the emerging
military industrial complex
that would try to embroil the citizens in a nuclear war with Russia.
Over the Operation Northwoods, RFK Jr pointed out that his uncle, President John F. Kennedy confronted his own joint chiefs of Staff and his intelligence officials who proposed to fake the shooting down of an American civilian airliner and blame it on Cuba in order to justify a nuclear war with Russia.
"John Kennedy stood up to them and refused to go along. President Kennedy was shocked by another military proposal to launch a surprise nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. The uniform meant that the USA would win because the Soviets would suffer over 130 million deaths while in America only 30 million would die," he said.
"After John Kennedy's assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin incident was used to justify war on Vietnam. It wasn't until almost 40 years later that it was shown conclusively to be untrue. The North Vietnamese did not attack our warships on August 4, 1964. War intelligence about the Gulf of Tonkin incident was faked because a fraction of our military industrial establishment wanted that war," he added.
Expressing his concerns over today's situation, RFK Jr said that now that the US have a faction of military and intelligence establishments that desire war, they want a war right now with Russia over Ukraine. It is pertinent to mention that Russia is the largest nuclear power on earth, which has over a thousand more nuclear weapons and better than America's best weapons.
Calling Kamala Harris' remarks about Russia during her acceptance speech at the democratic convention were "extremely alarming", RFK Jr said that Kamala Harris is inexperienced in foreign policy.
He also said that those words demonstrated that Kamala would be a perfect pushover, a puppet of the military intelligence faction that wants this war.
"We don't need a president who is so weak that she needs to prove her strength to the American people by sacrificing the life of American military personnel and foreign engagements abroad. Donald Trump has repeatedly said that he would negotiate with Putin to end the Ukraine war. If JFK were alive today, he would be standing side by side with President Trump on this issue," he said.
"A recent study predicts that World War III will last only 73 minutes, and that in that time, 5.8 billion human beings will die. And as JFK said, those who survive a nuclear war will envy the dead. If what I've said here makes sense to you, I urge you to contribute to help me get this message to millions more of our fellow citizens. The election is right around the corner, and the danger is very real. Please donate as much as you can today," he added.
