Here's how I see a potential Kennedy Presidency, Dem-controlled media will still blast him but not near as much as Trump. General public will be less anxious and once they hear Kennedy's social programs will turn down the heat. Im not even sure President Kennedy could stop funding Ukraine without sacrificing getting the votes for his other domestic policies, but it will curtail funding somewhat hopefully leading to negotiations for a peace settlement in Ukraine's favor. You know typical good ole American compromise politics, the only way when the country's ideals have such a widening difference.
Just saw this? Is the US pressing Ukraine to quit hitting Russian refineries? doesn't that sound counter productive to the cause?
in real wars are military strategists controlled by commodities pricing?
I usually loathe WWII analogies in respect to 2024 geopolitical differences but...
America's oil embargo against Japan prior to WWII no doubt had an effect on global oil prices. If we are to end the war with Russia shouldn't pressure continue to be brought to bear against Russia?
appreciate the discussion FWIW every indication is that RFKjr run in all 50 states would likely help Trump in every swing state there is.
States Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio are up for grabs. You do believe RFKjr should atleast be on all ballots?

I dont object Kennedy being in the election, and not even getting votes . I just want to play game where there is zero change anyone compromised could get elected
I just dont dont trust Kennedy anymore after some the comments he give , Manchurian candidate ?Another thing, the war in Ukraine is big thing in Europe....and Europeans wants US president that is in same level, think same way . Trump is not like that for example , and Kennedy might be another . We need to stay strong , united in allianse NATO against RUSSIA/CHINA/IRAN .
I notice also that statement " US pressing Ukraine to quit hitting Russian refineries " but i am not sure is it just optics and not what they really think....i mean they could give statement like that to try give another picture of their official line, but in private they might think different.
The America's oil embargo against Japan prior to WWII is just something i dont have a clue , or what it effected
Russia had now 2 days missile strikes against Ukraine....i am tired seeing it happen ....and only thing that can pause it , is causing a lot destruction to Russia...so i really feel it`s gloves off moment.
