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.

Cool so Trump won't be responsible for stopping the genocide either. Everything falls on Israel.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

No shit. That has nothing to do with this discussion.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Why did you bring up the genocide if you do not believe the American president has any responsibility for it? Biden has funded 70% of the cost of the genocide.

Gosh I don't know, maybe because a huge number of people decided to allow in a rapist fascist dictator who is going to conduct his own two genocides domestically, thinking their protest vote or their protest abstention would totally teach the Democrats a lesson regarding Israel?

Have you spent the week in a cave?

What did you do to stop the genocide?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I've been working with Jewish Voice for Peace for a year now. What about you?

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Some demonstrations and sharing articles online.

Clearly you have been working tirelessly, with laser-focus. I'm sure that and being sure that Trump and Harris are equally bad will give you a lot of comfort when Trump gives two thumbs up as Netanyahu bulldozes Gaza and puts up a bunch of resort hotels.

We didn't allow anything. harris failed to win our votes. direct your ire correctly. I've been telling you this for 2 months. you're still failing at basic reasoning on how voting works.

Palestinians are dead either way unless harris committed to stopping israel. and she wouldn't. she threw out the 25 electoral points Michigian and Wisconsin represent as a result. She failed to run a campaign on policies that would win her the election.

We don't owe you dweebs anything. You repeatedly fail to realize that people won't help you when you don't help them. and the DNC hasn't done shit for the working class or the arab community and they just fucking burnt a bridge that'll likely be impossible to rebuild.

You want peoples support for ukraine, LGBT, etc? learn you need to build connections with others to get support. esp when you're pet projects are also minority groups.

And a reminder: your jews for peace work is completely ineffectual when it comes to the president/congress supplying arms to israel. most of your work has ridden on the coattails of arab groups pushing their initiatives. So while stopping the settlement funding is a grand idea; by the time you managed to do it the palestinians would have already been dead or gone.

Yes, I understand that you didn't vote to stop a genocidal dictator from getting into office because you didn't like the only alternative.

And that's why I blame people like you.

And I hope you enjoyed your last ever democratic election.
