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 was so pissed at Israel and Israeli’s for the genocide we’re watching. Then as an American I looked in the mirror and saw my tax dollars providing the bombs for the genocide and realized I’m as responsible as the citizens of Israel. Now I’m just disgusted by our nation, the state of the world and my complicity in that state
