Kennedy is a lefty and I would never vote for him, but he's right about the Covid 'vaccines', Anthony Fauci, and the Ukraine/Russia conflict.

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 04/01/2024 Vol.490, Q Day 2347, ransomnote wrote:

RFK tells the truth about the Ukraine/

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~~~~~~~~~~

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: You know Putin every day says, “I want to settle the war. Let’s negotiate“, and Zelensky has said “We’re not going to negotiate.”

But in ’92 the wall came down in the Soviet Union empire. Gorbachev, he said, “I’m going to allow you to re-unify Germany. But I want your commitment after that, you will not move NATO one inch to the east,” and we solemnly swore we wouldn’t do it.

Well, then in 1997, we’re gonna move NATO 1,000 miles to the east and take 15 countries into it, and surround the Soviet Union.

We then overthrow their (Ukrainian) government in 2014. their elected government, and put in a western sympathetic government.

Russia then has to go into Crimea because they have a port at Vladivostok, their only warm water port, and they know the new government that we just installed is going to invite the US Navy into their port.

So then the Russians go in; they only send 40,000 people; it’s (the Ukraine) a nation of 44 million people. They clearly do not intend to conquer Ukraine, but they want us back at the negotiating table. The Russians just want a guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO. Zelensky signs a treaty. Putin’s people sign the treaty, and Putin starts withdrawing the Russian Troops in good faith.

And what happens? Joe Biden sends Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, over to Ukraine in April, and forces him to tear up the treaty. And since then, 450,000 kids have died, who none of them should have died.

If anyone is interested, American deaths in Vietnam attributed to hostile action were 47,434.

One American military woman died as a result of enemy action, Nurse Sharon Lane was hit in the throat by shrapnel when the enemy shelled the hospital she was working at.

Re-read the article, the losses are 50,000 dead in the last year of action. These are Russian Armed Forces losses. This does not include the losses prior to the last year of combat.

Russian losses were already higher than ours during Vietnam, where we were a participant from 1954 to 1975, prior to the last year of combat.

Guilty as charged of not reading the full article. To that, I say ‘even better’.

sorry, I misread it, the headline on BBC was referring to the last year being 25% higher.

But again, this doesn't include the losers from the PMC's LDR and DPR losses.

there might also be multiple graves from one of "Ivan's" that are some other posters infer are more intelligent than American service members, who set off an IED by ringing a doorbell in the middle of a forest.

A Russian general admitted they had 40,000+ KIA, well over a year ago.

Russia's last budget approved death payments for 100,000.

I excpect Ukrainian casualties at least as great, plus 50,000+ civilians.

All for a couple hundred square miles more of devastated land and destroyed cities, than the Russians held before the 2022 invasion.

You can't refute a single point I made so you go for the ad hominem attack. If the fact that I  'Trust Trump's Plan' confused you into falsely saying I should trust Putin's plan instead, try sounding out the words next time before posting, or just get a grownup to help you. Otherwise, you're just wasting our time.

Because it's easier to just dismiss you than refute anything you manage to vomit out on to a keyboard that wasn't first vomited into your mouth by Russia Today. The topic you mentioned in your post has previously been refuted in multiple discussions and apparently it is only noteworthy now because Kennedy is saying it.

The only thing refuting your toddler like attempts to carry out an intellectual discussion is encourage you to throw out even more inane (and yet easily disprovable) Q theories.
