Leon Panetta says he also expects US president-elect to favor letting Russia retain control of areas of Ukraine

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.

      Have you been following the atrocities of the American terrorist nation? The one that murdered thousands of my people while calling us slurs, and you and everyone else in America supported it, benefited from it, never made amends, moved on and now moralize and look down on everyone?

      I agree with you in this war, I just laugh at your hypocrisy. I’m native and I’ve been called a Nazi cause you white kids can’t handle being criticized or called out for your hypocrisy. The rest of us laugh when we see you guys moralizing and looking down on others. You’re the biggest terrorists on earth

You look down on everyone and the rest of us are sick of you authoritarian Americans. Even your left is authoritarian and intolerant
