“To justify his endorsement of Donald Trump and abandonment of the Democratic Party, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said last week Trump told him ‘that he wanted to end the grip of the neocons on U.S. foreign policy. He said he didn’t want any more $200 billion wars.’ … clearly, Trump is betting that he can make inroads on the anti-war left, with the help of Kennedy and Gabbard, by portraying himself a peacemaker battling warmongers Biden and Harris. Evidence for that charge is also scant. If Biden and Harris have so deeply embroiled America in endless war, how is it that fewer American soldiers have died in combat during their administration than in Trump’s? How is it that fewer soldiers have died in combat than in any administration since Jimmy Carter?” (09/03/24)
