In an interview released on Tuesday, Nicole Shanahan, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, said she and Kennedy have discussed joining forces with former President Donald Trump to prevent a Kamala Harris presidency. “There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Karris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan on the Impact Theory podcast, which was recorded on Monday. “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and you know, we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision,”  Shanahan continued.

Last week, RFK Jr. posted a lengthy tweet on X stating he would not support Kamala Harris and had a plan to defeat her. He wrote: VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values. The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala‘s is riddled with neocon warmongers. The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street. My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites. I’ve used our nation’s courts to prosecute corporations who hurt Black Americans. VP Harris used our nation’s courts to mercilessly prosecute Black Americans and exploit them for their labor. My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country. VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middleschool tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!) and name calling (“Republicans are weird.“) I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief. I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her. VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values.

Ukraine's recent offensive in Russia's Kursk region, launched in early August 2024, is increasingly seen as a grave strategic error. While bold, the operation has raised concerns over its long-term implications, particularly regarding the diversion of Ukrainian forces from the more critical eastern front. The Kursk offensive, led by Kyiv in a bid to push the war into Russian territory, has indeed caught Moscow by surprise. Ukrainian forces managed to penetrate deeply into Russian territory, capturing several villages and surrounding Russian troops in key areas like Sudzha and Gornal. However, the success of these initial incursions masks deeper strategic vulnerabilities that could undermine Ukraine’s broader war efforts. Ukraine is confirmed to have destroyed the 3rd and final bridge across the Seym River connecting Russian forces to the Glushkovsky District, Kursk Russia can no longer bring supplies or equipment into or out of ~640km2, roughly the area Russia took in the past year in Ukraine pic.twitter.com/4VHt8MmN7i — Ukraine Battle Map (@ukraine_map) August 19, 2024 First and foremost, the offensive has strained Ukraine's already stretched military resources. With Russia still holding significant advantages in manpower and equipment, the decision to open a new front has drawn critical Ukrainian forces away from the ongoing battles in Donetsk and Luhansk. These regions remain central to Ukraine's defense, and the weakening of Ukrainian positions there could allow Russian forces to regain momentum in the east. Moreover, the strategic value of the Kursk operation is questionable. While the incursion may temporarily disrupt Russian military operations, it has not provided a decisive blow to Russia's war capabilities. Instead, it risks provoking a severe Russian counterattack. Moscow has already begun dispatching reinforcements to the region, including Chechen spetsnaz units and former Wagner Group fighters, to push back the Ukrainian advance.

(@SMO_VZ) August 18, 2024 Another significant concern is the potential impact on Western support for Ukraine. The offensive, while showcasing Ukraine's resilience, might also raise doubts among its allies about the strategic judgment of Kyiv's leadership. The operation has yet to yield any substantial gains that justify the risks involved, and any prolonged engagement in Kursk could lead to war fatigue among Ukraine's Western backers. The geopolitical ramifications of this offensive are equally troubling. By attacking Russian soil, Ukraine has escalated the conflict, which could harden Russia's resolve and complicate diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war. Moscow has already used the incursion to rally domestic support, portraying the offensive as an existential threat to Russian sovereignty. While Ukraine’s leadership likely hoped the offensive would shift the war’s narrative in its favor, the reality on the ground suggests otherwise. The operation has not only overextended Ukrainian forces but also provided Russia with an opportunity to regroup and reinforce its positions. As Ukrainian troops struggle to maintain their foothold in Kursk, the risk of a decisive Russian counteroffensive grows, potentially leading to significant Ukrainian casualties and a loss of morale. In summary, Ukraine’s Kursk offensive, though audacious, appears to be a strategic miscalculation. The operation has exposed Ukraine to significant risks without delivering meaningful strategic gains, and it could have far-reaching consequences for the country's ability to sustain its defense against Russian aggression.
