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.
That should put paid to the myth that Trump is ‘the antidote to all the wars’.
I always thought that the argument ‘no wars were started during his presidency’ was bullshit.
He spent all 4 years totaling around 3 trillion in Afghanistan, to accomplish nothing.
This video should completely put to rest that Trump absolutely did do some fucked shit and that his rhetoric was equally bullshit regarding wars.
