Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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 voted for Harris begrudgingly. Can you please get back on topic now or have you run out of excuses for why she lost and it's not her or the DNCs fault? As I said, you've just created a strawman, and completely derailed the discussion with some "gotcha" that didn't pan out, not that I really believe you'll believe me and will likely claim I'm lying so that you can pretend that you were right all along and everyone else is "the problem" and if that's the case then you can expect the Dems to keep losing elections until you run out of people to blame.

Are you willing to address any of my arguments or are you just going to continue to keep your head buried in the sand?

That person wasn't even the person you were arguing with.
