| Dear Friend, |
| |
| People are actually talking about using nuclear weapons now for
the first time in my life since I was a kid. |
| |
| There was a 13-Day period during the Cuban missile crisis when we
were the closest in human history that we had ever come to global
annihilation. |
| |
| I remember the U.S. Marshalls coming to our house to take myself
and my elder brother Joe to an underground city in the Blue Ridge
Mountains in West Virginia — a place for the whole government to
weather a thermonuclear cataclysm. |
| |
| But my father called us and said we can’t go because it would send
the nation into a panic. He told us to be good soldiers and show up at
school. He also said that if there was a nuclear exchange, the ones
that die would be better off than the people who are left. |
| |
| Leaders like my father and uncle, John F. Kennedy, had a healthy
fear of nuclear conflict during that period in American history. This
is not so today. |
| |
| What we are seeing from the anonymous men in lanyards, men and
women in the White House, who are now making these calls is a
reckless, cavalier approach to nuclear war. |
| |
| In other words, the Biden administration’s lack of
caution is putting our future at risk. |
| |
| Just as my uncle and father before me, I will bring a heightened
sobriety to the White House when it comes to matters of nuclear war.
The stakes couldn’t be any higher! |
| |
| The potential ramifications of such a conflict are catastrophic,
and it is our duty to pursue all avenues that promote peace,
diplomacy, and strategic decision-making. |
| |
| Join
me so we can ensure that our nation remains at the forefront of
protecting humanity. |
| |
| |
| Sincerely, |
| |
 |
| Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. |
