Kucinich Argues, ‘Tame the “Rising Lion” Before It Eats Us’

Former Ohio Congressman and U.S. presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich penned a hard hitting Substack article with the above title on Monday, June 16. It ends as follows:

“The attack on Iran is a clear demonstration of Israel’s contempt for America.

“Mr. Netanyahu’s end game is not the security of his people. It is to hold together a coalition of sanguinary racists to avoid his own imprisonment.

“The U.S. must reassess its close relationship with Israel. Israel’s pre-emptive actions jeopardize Iran and attempt to draw America into an ever-unnecessary escalation of global magnitude.

“America is Israel’s best friend. But friends don’t let friends commit genocide. Friends don’t drag friends into war. Friends do not risk the security of the world, for narrow political gains.

“The President of the United States must intervene to put America’s interests first.

“The safety and well-being of the people of the United States is not and never has been a concern of Mr. Netanyahu. It must be that of the President of the United States.

“Tame the ‘Rising Lion’ before it eats us.”
