Former independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. commented on the presidential debates between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, stating that a confrontation with Russia could lead to nuclear self-destruction for the US.
“Trump voiced an idea that I hope everyone hears: Russia has nuclear weapons. The Biden administration’s policy of maximum confrontation aimed at regime change in Russia and humiliating defeat is a recipe for nuclear self-immolation,” Kennedy Jr. said on social media platform X.
Earlier on Wednesday, presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump repeatedly mentioned US-Russia relations and the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict during the debate.
Kennedy Jr. himself dropped out of the presidential race in late August, simultaneously endorsing Trump. The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5.
Earlier on Wednesday, presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump mentioned Russian leader Vladimir Putin at least 12 times during the debate, and Ukraine and Russia 11 times, according to media.
During the debate, Trump mentioned Russia nine times, Russian President Vladimir Putin eight times, and Ukraine six times. Harris, on the other hand, mentioned Russia twice, Putin four times, and Ukraine five times.
