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.

      I left the president blank. My state is blue, and Kamala won my state easily.

      I hate to break it to you, the voters don’t owe Democratic Party a damn thing.

      It’s the other way around.

      Keep blaming the voters and then see what happens next election.

      People voted for Trump because they are tired of the same old corporate mainstream politicians. Trump had a populist message and he addressed voters concerns.

      Democrats like you shouted at leftists like a bunch of whiny babies.

      Also; I hope you feel better about yourself yelling at people that they should support genocide like you do.

      Do you understand how pathetic this makes you look?

        Judging by the lack of consequences for the previously observed war crimes, my bet is they’ll prolong the suffering to sate their revenge lust. See if anyone bothers to step in when they erect full blown torture camps.

      Didn’t you know trump will stop the genocide…by writing a check so large that Israel completely removes Palestinians from the map… can’t have a genocide of Palestinians if there are no more Palestinians.

      The smugness of the average democrat at seeing Palestine being flattened by Democrat-funded bombs is a true sight to behold. Your inhumanity will be remembered.
