In reply to the discussion: Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Robert F Kennedy Jr.? [View all]DemocratSinceBirth
(100,394 posts)34. He says a lot of things.
I will leave it up to others to divine if President John Kennedy who said, "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty" would throw Ukraine under the bus?
Here who is says informs his opinion on Ukraine:
Well, foreign policy. Domestic policy.
Well, if I want to know about whats happening in Ukraine, I might read Doug Macgregors site, or a number of other just alternative sites.

Macgregor has appeared as a regular guest on Fox News, with at least 60 Fox weekday appearances from August 2017 to early 2022, including 48 on Tucker Carlsons show.[15] Carlson regularly praises Macgregor, describing him as our first choice for foreign policy analysis and one of the people we trust to give us real information". According to Media Matters for America, it was this which got Macgregor on the radar of President Donald Trump.[15] In May 2019, on the Carlson show, Macgregor urged Trump to replace senior national security officials, describing them as part of this bipartisan globalist elite.[15]
Macgregor opposes diversity or affirmative action programmes in the military, including women serving in combat. In a 2021 interview, while serving on the West Point board, he said:
What we call diversity in the extreme. In other words, affirmative action programs for every conceivable category of humanity that the left wants to come up with, said Macgregor. Whether its someone who is a gender neutral or homosexual or whatever else, the left loves to put us into categories and push this. And the people that went along with it and said, sure, lets put women into the combat forces. Lets have women everywhere. Lets do whatever we want to do. Were going to create this brave new world where everyone is the same. There are no differences, nothing matters. So I think thats where we are.[63]

He wasn't a cardboard saint and he was a very different person at the time of his death.

I believe he feels his family expects it of him, as they did his father, and JFK.

His family opposes his candidacy. The only Kennedy supporting it is his wife.

If he felt that way perhaps it would be best to stay out of the political arena.
