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.

What is fucked is that no matter what happens. They will insist that it was all the Democrat's fault and all the fault of communists and socialists. They will be believed both despite the absurdity of it all and because of the absurdity of it.

in reality it was the 20 million voters that abstained from voting this election.

They literally stood off to the side and allowed in the man who will facilitate the complete annihilation of Palestine, so in truth they really never gave a shit about Palestinians, it was all bullshit. With Harris you at least had someone reacted to criticism and you could work with but Trump doesn't give a single fuck about criticism or what people want

Have you seen pictures of gaza? It has been completely annihilated by Biden and Harris who finished the job that Trump talked about.

Oh Harris is the president of Israel now? Odd

She's helping send money and weapons so she may as well be the PM

Americans live in a whole other planet

[–] GlobalCompatriot@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Without US money and weapons, Israel would not have been able to destroy Gaza like it has.

Are you very very young or just new to this whole conflict?

[–] GlobalCompatriot@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Neither, ive been following the terrorist nation of Israel for decades. And I've also been following the US supporting that terrorist nation

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Have you been following the atrocities of the American terrorist nation? The one that murdered thousands of my people while calling us slurs, and you and everyone else in America supported it, benefited from it, never made amends, moved on and now moralize and look down on everyone?

I agree with you in this war, I just laugh at your hypocrisy. I'm native and I've been called a Nazi cause you white kids can't handle being criticized or called out for your hypocrisy. The rest of us laugh when we see you guys moralizing and looking down on others. You're the biggest terrorists on earth

[–] GlobalCompatriot@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know who you people are

I like to leave it vague, cause the list is so massive it really reiterates my point. You guys fuck up the world, then moralize to the people you just stomped. You look down on everyone and the rest of us are sick of you authoritarian Americans. Even your left is authoritarian and intolerant
