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.

      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.

        Yeah, that happened. Now suck it up and get ready for the fight. Who’s to blame doesn’t matter. Be prepared to fight for your life, or just shut the fuck up about it.

      Stop. Just stop. Quit blaming people and get ready for what’s coming. Organize a defense. Your life depends more on what you do now, than who voted for what.

      I like how you flipped the script by blaming the group (the voters) and not the individual responsible (the DNC) for making the horrible decisions resulting in an ongoing genocide.

        The voter voted in a guy that attempted an insurrection, so yup I think they hold some responsibility here.

        This comment is terrible for a boatload of reasons but one of the funnier ones is that you’re talking about shifting blame from a group to an individual and then name two groups (last I checked the DNC isn’t one person).

        So you’re admitting that you just vote for whoever you were told to vote for?

        You just follow along and do whatever the crowd does?

        You’re admitting that you don’t have the mental capacity to identify the threat toward democracy and make the decision to vote for a candidate that isn’t a direct threat to global stability?

        Let me explain it in a way that a simple-minded individual could understand.

        Votes, elect candidates. Votes are given by voters, not political parties.

          Voting is done. Do something to protect your community. Organize a defense or stfu about it.

          The left has been warning you nonstop for the past year that this would happen. Democrats didn’t listen and instead decided that genocide and Cheneys would get Republicans to vote for them. That was stupid as fuck. It didn’t work.

          I voted for Harris.

        This was not the election for a protest. This election was to protect democracy from a traitorois Nazi. Anyone who didn’t voters a protest is a sympathizer.
