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.

Who said I didn't vote against him? You're just creating a strawman to validate your argument even though you couldn't be further from the truth. The DNC ran yet another terrible campaign and alienated a bunch of their voters. The people still defending this insanity that has happened almost 3 elections in a row are the people to blame. Are you defending the 2016 and 2024 campaigns? Do you approve of the neck and neck 2020 campaign? How many elections are you willing to lose in a vain attempt at sticking to a losing strategy?

Did you vote for Harris or Stein?

I voted for Harris begrudgingly. Can you please get back on topic now or have you run out of excuses for why she lost and it's not her or the DNCs fault? As I said, you've just created a strawman, and completely derailed the discussion with some "gotcha" that didn't pan out, not that I really believe you'll believe me and will likely claim I'm lying so that you can pretend that you were right all along and everyone else is "the problem" and if that's the case then you can expect the Dems to keep losing elections until you run out of people to blame.

Are you willing to address any of my arguments or are you just going to continue to keep your head buried in the sand?

That person wasn't even the person you were arguing with.

Fair enough my mistake, but it's still an irrelevant question.
