John Kennedy, senator from Louisiana, believes that, when it comes to issues of security and national defense, the United States has a foolish president and the most serious thing is that it has been sending this signal to countries considered enemies.
During an interview with the television network FoxNews, The Republican politician attacked the war conflict that emerged in the Middle East as a result of the attacks by the Hamas terrorist group against Israel.
“I reject the proposition that Hamas is free to intentionally attack Israeli children and women, but Israel somehow, morally, has no right to defend itself and persecute Hamas. Yes, there are casualties, but they are involuntary casualties because Hamas refuses to allow many Palestinians to leave.
However, I think we have to ask ourselves, why are we here? And I think we have to be honest with ourselves. “The United States has a president who is not a defense hawk,” he indicated.
Then, The politician, who incidentally is not related to the family of former President John F. Kennedy, criticized the position taken by Joe Biden whom he described as a character incapable of solving or at least trying to help the current war conflicts in the world be resolved more quickly.
“The United States has a president whose administration is frankly more interested in discussing whether a man can breastfeed than in talking about national security.
Put yourself in the place of our enemies Russia, Iran and China. What do you see? They see a United States whose president flees Afghanistan. Our enemies see an America whose president refuses to give Ukraine the weapons it needs to win, whose president refuses to enforce sanctions on Iranian oil and, in fact, has tried to give the Iranians no more than $6 billion. , but $10 billion dollars. I could go on, but the point is that our enemies have come to the conclusion that The United States has a president who is a bit of a fool when it comes to national defense, which Xi, Putin and the Ayatollah believe they can roll over like thunder on a summer night,” he emphasized.
And to top it off, John Kennedy He added that the current president of the nation is also wrong in the way he addresses leaders of enemy nations whom he is far from frightening.
“Peace through weakness never works. These are tough men. This administration has been quoting Socrates to our enemies when we’re in a bar fight.“, he concluded.
It should be noted that the Louisiana senator has gained notoriety for justifying Vladimir Putin, for attacking Hillary Clinton and even for promoting the idea that the US military should enter Mexico to control drug cartels.
