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.
I just gave you the fucking reasons. Why don’t you give me why you think they haven’t?
Because congress allocated a specific amount of money for arms sales to Israel. This isn’t a secret.
What are you even trying to say? That because there’s a number on a sales package that can be renewed on a whim that this means Biden isn’t giving them whatever they want? Keep in mind that the DOJ are sitting on 500 documented cases of Israel using American weapons to commit war crimes. Biden is not fucking stopping them in the slightest. The only difference between them is that Trump just openly says it.
I don’t think you understand what ‘blank check’ means.
It could be worse than a blank check. Quid pro quo all over again.
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.
