Robert Kennedy Jr. launches his candidacy for US president and points to the collapse of the American empire.
"The war in Ukraine is the final collapse of the short-lived 'American century'," he stated on Twitter.
247 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, has announced his Democratic candidacy for the 2024 U.S. presidency, challenging incumbent President Joe Biden for the party's nomination.
Kennedy is seen as an outsider in the Democratic presidential race due to his divergent views from the rest of the party, including his perceived "denialist" views on Covid-19 vaccines, which led to the suspension of his Instagram account in 2021.
In March, Kennedy announced on Twitter that he was considering running for president with the intention of ending the “corrupt fusion” between state and corporate power. This Friday (7), on Twitter, he asked for contributions to his candidacy to help him get elected and “reunify America [United States]”.
Furthermore, in another Twitter post on April 3rd, Kennedy pointed to the collapse of the American empire.
“The collapse of American influence over Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s new alliances with China and Iran are painful symbols of the abject failure of the Neocon strategy of maintaining US global hegemony through aggressive projections of military power. China has displaced the American Empire by skillfully projecting economic power instead. Over the past decade, our country has undertaken trillions of dollars in bombings of roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China has spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world. The war in Ukraine is the final collapse of the short-lived “American century” of Neocon. Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine cost $8,1 trillion, decimated our middle class, made US military power and moral authority a laughingstock, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as a global currency, cost millions of lives, and did nothing to promote democracy or gain friendships or influence,” he wrote.
