The praise for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as an anti-war icon for his stance on Ukraine is deeply and tragically misplaced. Indeed, I’d argue it’s reminiscent of Trump being characterized as anti-war not long ago.
But RFK, Jr. is a problem because his ignorant and frankly off-kilter ranting on this subject is making it harder for those of us who are trying to criticize the US/NATO approach to this war. painting Russia and Vladimir Putin as victims of NATO perfidy is wrong and counter-productive. I explain in this deep dive in the latest edition of the Cutting Through newsletter.
