Robert F. Kennedy Jr. raised eyebrows during a dinner at Tony’s Di Napoli on the Upper East Side this week after suggesting NATO should be disbanded.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested this week that NATO should be disbanded.
“It is insane to even keep NATO going. Russia lost the cold war. The people who run Russia are people who we want running Russia. Let’s help them the way we did Germany and Japan after that war with the Marshall plan. That’s not what we did,” Kennedy, 69, told guests during a press dinner Tuesday at Tony’s Di Napoli on East 63d Street in the Upper East Side.
Kennedy, who is staging a long-shot bid to oust President Biden in the 2024 Democratic primary made the remarks during a question an answer portion of the dinner — before the event infamously dissolved into a “If you treat somebody like your enemy. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. They’e going to become your enemy. I certainly would not have moved NATO to the east if I had been president,” Kennedy said.NATO has long enjoyed bipartisan support as a lynchpin of the US-led international order.“I certainly would not have moved NATO to the east if I had been president,” Kennedy said.
“I don’t know how to handle it right now. There are many many options,” he said. “My objective is going to be de-escalate war. Try and find peace.”
