Summary

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta warned that Trump’s return to the White House could embolden Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, giving him a “blank check” in the Middle East and increasing the risk of war with Iran.

Panetta expressed concern that Trump would support Netanyahu’s aggressive stance against Iran without restraint, potentially worsening regional instability.

Panetta also predicted Trump might allow Russia to retain parts of Ukraine if he returns to office, though he doubted Trump’s negotiation skills.

He criticized Trump’s approach to foreign policy, suggesting Trump would be inclined to “capitulate” to authoritarian leaders, which may not sit well with some Republicans.

      Ahh. The old ‘push Biden left’ strategy. Didn’t seem to work very well, considering Biden is helping commit a genocide as we speak.

        I remember even when Biden was VP I kept reminding people what a horrible person he is. How he’s one of the biggest proponents of the murderous, racist drug war, and the police militarization that came with it. Biden has blood on his hands. And when I would criticize him then and when I said he was a terrible candidate, you guys downvoted me and called me a right winger, because I was not “left enough”, nobody ever is anymore for you guys. You’re authoritarian hard left and you refuse allies and friends, you want everyone to follow your view to the letter or they’re a “Nazi” even if it’s a white leftist calling a person of color a Nazi. You guys are insane.
