Stewart Rhodes said, "Just the same as the founders did, they exhausted all their peaceful means, but they also rallied more people to the cause, won more people over and steeled them up and hardened them, got them ready for the confrontation.

Why Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So Convinced He’s Right?

Why Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So Convinced He’s Right? 300+The Atlantic by Michael Scherer / Nov 23, 2025 at 6:30 PM 6 Companies View All Photographs by Elinor Carucci Robert F.

I happened to be sitting next to him this fall when he learned that his friend Charlie Kirk had been shot.

The Trump administration has not yet made the terms of its proposal public. According to news reports, Ukraine would have to cede more land to Russia—including all of Donetsk and Luhansk provinces—than the Russians have been able to conquer to this point. The Ukrainian armed forces w...
