Trump will give Israel ‘blank check’ which may mean all-out war with Iran, says ex-CIA chief

Trump will give Israel ‘blank check’ which may mean all-out war with Iran, says ex-CIA chief - Lemmy.World

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.

Waiiiiit, are you saying that not voting Kamala didn’t magically stop the genocide in Gaza???

That it only accelerates it, like I and other people have been saying for months???

WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?!

Well now that the election is lost, the Democrats could make true on their claim they would seriously end this, but had to wait until after the election…

I doubt they will, because every of their action has shown to be equally strong genocide supporters. But we should see the next days, as Israel still doesnt let anywhere close to 350 Trucks into Gaza, leave alone any into the north of Gaza. The ultimatum is running out.

Also as weapons deliverys to Israel have been and are illegal anyways under US law, now would be a great chance to get every Republican and Democrat who voted for them or approved them as part of the administration into jail and in front of a court.

Oh wait, they wont because breaking the law, which unsurprisingly helped the convicted felon win, was worth it, so genocide could be further supportet.

They could send our entire fucking arsenal to Ukraine. I’d be for that.

We made a deal in the budapest memorandum: Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for a guarantee of the borders.

We can just give them back, or nukes of equivalent capability.

I’m joking, Ukraine were the brains of the Soviet Union, without them it’s just the world’s largest open-air fetal alcohol syndrome seminar.

Ukraine can rebuild their nuclear program in months, and I … need to go find somewhere to donate to that cause.
