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.

    Oh my goodness, those free Palestine protests are really going to step up in the U.S. !

    Just kidding, they’re done, mission accomplished. They were never about Gaza, just about disenfranchising Democrats as part of social engineering to ensure a Trump win.

    Let me ask you this, dear concerned protesters: Who was the protest leadership? I don’t mean the local organizer. Who was directing the protests at the national level? I sure as shit don’t know.

        “Common decency and morality” just got a vindictive, hateful pos elected. The Gaza protest emphasis on Biden or Harris but never, NEVER on the Republican lead Congress that votes on foreign aid is rather telling.
