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.

So the same thing as Biden?

The war with Iran is already on the doorstep of happening under Bidens unconditional aid.

Such a shame Kamala did not get elected. Who also promised unconditional aid and advocated for starting a war with Iran.

Posts like this would have a lot more impact if the Democrats were different.

How would that be different than the current plan under Biden?

Someone I can work with and eventually break? Or the racist fascist who wants to annihilate the brown people? I guess they're the same!

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