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.

    So the same thing as Biden?

    The war with Iran is already on the doorstep of happening under Bidens unconditional aid.

    Such a shame Kamala did not get elected. Who also promised unconditional aid and advocated for starting a war with Iran.

    Posts like this would have a lot more impact if the Democrats were different.

      Do agree, these people seems to ignore the news or at least now aware of what is happening.

      If Biden didn’t want a war with Iran they would have stopped the genocide in Gaza, pushed for an actual deal, remember the one that Hamas agreed to and then Israel backtracked. He could have stopped the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria, or the attack on Lebanon.

      Iran telling the whole world about there drone attack and then Israel goes to attack Iran again, followed directly with USA and UK telling Iran to stop it aggression??

      Iran have population of 90 million people, Israel has 7 maybe, pretending Iran cannot take Israel is just stupid.
