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.
Biden and Harris was/is still finishing the job. Trump may have said it out loud, but it’s happening right now.
Harris abandoned queers, brown people, and the entire progressive side of the party and needed to pay the consequences.
I hope those right wing votes they courted were worth their efforts
Ah, another new excuse to avoid any responsibility. “It doesn’t matter that I didn’t vote for Harris because it will be just as bad in Gaza either way.”
Anything to help you sleep at night.
I voted for Harris. Most leftists I know also voted for Harris.
Doesn’t mean we can’t be critical. She took every wrong turn after getting handed the keys to the campaign. Including not supporting a ceasefire and cease of arms transfers until the last few days before the election.
Maybe if she would have advocated for that at the start, things would have turned out differently. But then again you can say that about many things her campaign did wrong.
This was her’s and the establishment Dems’ campaign to lose, and they did with flying colors.
No, the queer community, brown people, disabled people, etc will now pay the consequences. gg
This brown queer person says that Harris was the wrong person for the job, we have our own agency and don’t need liberals to speak on our behalf. We’re capable of speaking for ourselves. Many Brown queer people that I’m familiar with felt the same and voted accordingly
Well, they know who you are, and you better believe that you are on several of their lists. So hopefully you will be able to take solace in the fact that you “took the high road” during the last real election this country will ever have, when you’re huddled up in some white person’s basement, hiding from the government.
So brave of you to try and come white knight for us as our protector. What would we do without white CIS people to guide us?
If you can’t even do the most basic thing to help push the tiniest bit to prevent the worst from happening to you, why would anyone else care?
Is that what you took away from that comment?
Learn some fucking history, because it’s repeating.
None of that changes whether you will be among the primary groups to pay the consequences, which is all I said.
They were courting anyone from the political spectrum who was still a constitutionalist, lefties included, to unite against whatever trump’s mood happens to be that day.
