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.

    Voters owe themselves something. But instead they decided to crash the economy, end democracy and start more genocides. Because Kamala ran a shitty campaign.

        I love this idea that it’s all one person’s fault. I’m sure you’ll still blame her when Trump’s cops march you into a boxcar.

        “It’s not my fault, I didn’t vote for Harris and allowed the U.S. to get taken over by a fascist dictator who is committing genocides. It’s her fault for making me not vote for her because of genocide!” Scream it to the guards, I’m sure they’ll be very sympathetic.

        Of course, you could be a cishet Christian man, in which case, enjoy your privilege.
