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.
Good thing your party stuck to their guns and didn’t compromise on committing genocide. Then you wouldn’t be able to be smug about losing to a convicted rapist and felon.
Kamela actually talked about a ceasefire several times, Trump just wanted to nuke Palestine and be done with it. If you paid attention, you’d know that.
Biden has talked about ceasefires for a year now, and proven it’s just talk. Israel has crossed so many red lines it’s impossible to keep count, all with no consequences. Harris said she wouldn’t change a thing and her campaign made sure people knew she didn’t support an arms embargo on Israel. You can gaslight yourself all you want about her intentions, but her actual words -promised- more of the same.
Trump is awful, but telling people the Dems presented any meaningful opposition to ethnic cleansing or that Harris made it clear she’d be better is propagating a convenient lie.
You might find out soon what genocide actually looks like and then you can wipe those fake tears with your useless virtue signalling. Clown
Haha genocide is not some kind of spectrum, it’s the most horrific crime a person can commit. So no, I won’t. SeE ReAl GeNOciDe. I’M ALREADY SEEING IT. All from a party that thinks I’m stupid enough to believe they’re for justice and peace
So outside of Dems learning a lesson which is now yesterdays news. Do you believe Palestinians are in a better place now Trumps is taking over?
I didn’t vote for Trump either. And it’s the Dems that blocked progressive candidates like Bernie from office.
Do you think by telling voters like me to eat shit about Gaza that they’re better off than if they had actually intervened in Israel’s genocide?
No but it’s about end results and being savvy about applying what little influence you have and thinking a step ahead. Palestinians are going to be worse off now, Trump has stated before the election that Israel can do what it wants to get the job done. How do you think Trump would handle any ongoing protests at the university’s, etc. A man just itching to deploy troops to shoot protestors.
You can blame the dems all you like but voting 3rd party or staying at home has assisted Trump back into power and brought in the loons with him that think war in the middle east will bring the rapture.
He’s going to make American, Ukrainian and Palestinian lives far worse. But yeah I guess the dem leadership has learned a lesson now they are going back to their comfortable lives that most likely won’t be impacted by any of this.
At least under the Dems you could have continued the protests, continued the pressure for peace.
If you compromise on genocide then you are not a political agent, you’re a sheep that can be herded with enough pressure.
You keep using that triangulation bullshit because your party has been using it to goad their own base into voting for far right policies OE absolutely pathetic band aids.
We’re not falling for it anymore and we’re going to fight against genocide without your worthless party.
People decided to stay at home over this issues or vote and Jill Stein have compromised though. A sheep is someone who would have voted for Trump thinking he’s going to bring peace. If you were aware and you decided to protest vote knowing that there is a high chance Trump was getting back in or you would put some thought into it and know whilst the Dems are also a poor option you could at least have some dialogue, protest etc. Donald will set the national guard on you.
No idea how you voted or if you voted at all but the option you have ended up with is more genocide with a extra pat on the back. Non dem voters who were aware of the Gaza situation knew that this would be the end result, you have fallen for it because you have ended up with Donald Trump. Netanyahu thanks you, as he can finish what he started.
I’ll eat my words if Donald brings quick peace to Gaza and a two state solution but nothing he’s said or done so far shows he is going to do that. So if you knew you could aid Donald getting back into power you also knew and accepted what his stance would be on the Palestinian situation and what the end result would be.
Dem leadership got an ego check but will move on to their speaking engagements and board of directors roles. The Palestinian question is two years out at the midterms and it will likely have been “solved” by Donald. Well done.
Genocide according to who btw?
