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.
No I really do. You just don’t want to equate the 2 people on this topic. The genocide is happening as we speak. It’s been happening for a year and everytime Israel needs more money, weapons, or defence systems. Biden is more than happy to oblige. He’s gotten more money from pro-Israel lobbyists than any other Senator in history. Both are being paid to provide unconditional and unlimited support to Israel.
This is the last time you get to imply that I am denying a genocide is happening.
You have a habit of putting words in my mouth, this is the 3rd tkme you do in the past few weeks.
We werent arguing over whether or not there is a genocide. We were arguing over the fact that Biden has given Israel virtually unlimited resoruces to do whatever the fuck they want. I’ve explained myself, unless you’re going to do the same to me this conversation is useless.
I am putting no words in your mouth. I am going with the words you wrote that I am reading on my screen. This is what you wrote:
If you were not accusing me of denying genocide, what were you accusing me of?
You also wrote this to me:
Again, sure looks like you’re accusing me of denying genocide.
You’re right. We were not arguing about whether or not there is a genocide. You just decided to accuse me of denying it twice anyway. You do not get to do it a third time and get away with it.
That was me explaining myself and how I reached the conclusion that Biden is also providing unlimited and unconditional support same as Trump would. Something you still haven’t done for your viewpoints by the way.
Again, I explained my viewpoint very clearly. A specific amount of money has been allocated. You can claim they would get more if they asked for it under Harris, but unless you have a crystal ball, you cannot know that. Trump has made his intentions very clear. I go by what people say, not what people have decided they will do.
I have 13 months of daily war crimes, regional escalations, and staunch military support from the Biden administration that says I’m right.
And you are privy to all backroom discussions to know that Israel has gotten everything they want from the U.S.?
What is your security clearance level?
If you’re just going to disregard what I say simply because you don’t like it or agree with it, then why are you even bothering talking to me?
