Robert Kennedy Jr. tells how his son fought against the Russians for the APU
2023-04-21
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The great-nephew of former US President John F. Kennedy served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) as a machine gunner. This was told by his father, candidate for the post of head of the White House Robert Kennedy Jr.
RFK’s kid hopes to beat Joe Biden in the Democratic primary for US president next year.
At an election rally, an American politician spoke about the service of his son Connor in Ukraine. According to him, Connor, whom he is very proud of, joined the Foreign Legion and fought in Ukraine during the Kharkov offensive as a machine gunner in a special forces group.

"We are in Ukraine for the right reasons," the politician said.

Connor himself announced back in October last year that he had left the Foreign Legion. He did not name the reasons, but noted that although the service was short, he liked being a soldier.

As REGNUM reported on April 12, two American mercenaries were liquidated in Ukraine . One of those killed was Edward Walter Wilton. He died during the battles for Artyomovsk. Also in Ukraine, former Marine Grady Kerpasi was killed. Information about his death appeared on the GoFundMe crowdfunding platform on behalf of a military family. Kerpasi's wife confirmed that the family is in touch with the US State Department.

The Russian military also said on March 31 that the southern outskirts of Artyomovsk were defended by soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and mercenaries from Georgia and Poland also met. According to the fighter, the groups of Polish mercenaries were distinguished by a black uniform.

#14  I don't see how going to fight in somebody else's war demonstrates patriotism for America.

It doesn't. It either shows you so deeply believe in their cause that you will risk your life... or you are a war tourist.

#13  His longtime anti-vax work had him labelled The Crazy Kennedy two decades ago. Clearly, attacking him has no effect on the image of the rest of the Kennedys. I’ve not noticed any accusations that he is anything but squeaky clean.

#12  He will get the Bernie treatment.

#11  What will be fun will be watching the current crop of deep state dems drag the once sainted Kennedy brand through the mud.

#10  I don't see how going to fight in somebody else's war demonstrates patriotism for America. All it demonstrates to me is stupidity and stupid is not what I want in the White House. But I do believe it will be fun to watch Kennedy run against Biden.

#9  Throwing dirt at a Kennedy seems counterproductive. The public expectation for a Kennedy is that they are dirty but patriotic.

#8  They pushed Hemingway on me in high school. Very depressing. In fact, the guy was so drunk and depressed that he ate a shotgun.

But I remember For Whom the Bell Tolls about a young American who volunteers to fight in the Spanish Civil War. Yeah, it's depressing.

You want to fight Russians? Go ahead. Don't come crying to me when you get your butt blown off, don't ask me to celebrate your courage and stop asking me to pay for it.

“Welcome back to the fight,” Laszlo says. “This time I know our side will win.”

#5  If people want to go fight as mercenaries or whatever, then that's fine by me. At least they show more cojones than the chicken hawks in Congress.

#4  Great. Now they're building up foreign service in Ukraine like it's the Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War.

#3  Smear campaign began a good year ago after RFK, Jr., wrote that book about Fauci.

Funny how Trump selected RFK for a position in his administration, and after a nice little "contribution" from Pfizer, RFK was deselected and replace by a Big Pharma shill. Another fukc up by The Donald.

#1  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Biden's biggest fear. Democrats will vote hands down for Kennedy. Smear campaign begins.
