They did not mention what role Ukraine &#8220;At a time when American leaders should be focused on finding a diplomatic off-ramp to a war that should never have been allowed to take place, the Biden-Harris administration is instead pursuing a policy that Russia says it will interpret as an act of war,&#8221; Kennedy and Trump Jr. wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This game of nuclear &#8216;chicken&#8217; has gone far enough,&#8221; they continued. &#8220;There is no remaining step between firing U.S. missiles deep into Russian territory and a nuclear exchange. We cannot get any closer to the brink than this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy and Trump Jr. went on to argue that &#8220;no vital American interest is at stake&#8221; in the Russia-Ukraine war, while arguing that concerns of &#8220;Russian forces rolling across Europe&#8221; if they are allowed to seize control of Ukraine are &#8220;absurd.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They also argued that &#8220;Russia made its war aims very clear at the outset&#8221; of the Ukraine war, suggesting that both Putin&#8217;s claims of only wanting &#8220;Ukrainian neutrality and a halt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/topic\/nato\">NATO<\/a>&#8216;s eastward expansion&#8221; and his threats to use nuclear weapons should be taken at face value.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is past time to de-escalate this conflict,&#8221; wrote Kennedy and Trump Jr. &#8220;This is more important than any of the political issues our nation argues about.
