Mike Flynn supports Russia Ahead Of Potential Ukraine Invasion

[link:https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2022/01/24/michael-flynn-once-indicted-over-russia-communication---voices-support-for-russia-ahead-of-potential-ukraine-invasion/?sh=19de59ae6bd5|]


Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor who resigned and pleaded guilty for misleading authorities over his ties to the Russian government—before later pardoned by former President Donald Trump—attacked the Biden Administration Monday for its support of Ukraine in an op-ed article on a right-wing site criticized for spreading misinformation, appearing to parrot the views of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Biden administration wants us to believe that Russia is seeking to regain its former greatness by overthrowing the government of Volodymyr Zelensky and replacing it with a puppet government that it would control. The neocon-dominated establishment in both of our political parties wants us to believe that the Soviet Union still exists and is inherently expansionary.

Just as the nation was sold a hoax about Russia having elected President Donald Trump in 2016, another illusion now is being sold. Do not believe a word of it!

Two generals... Flynn & Arnold

Gen Michael Flynn and Gen Benedict Arnold both started out as patriots who served their country well.

Arnold died a traitor in England.

He was not lucky enough to have a Donald Trump on his side.

Might as well get these over with.

Mike Flynn needs to be on a one-way flight to Moscow, and have his US passport revoked before he lands.

At the same time, if his analysis is correct, it shows a possible way out.

If the "existential threat" is nuclear weapons right on Russia's border--something that in reverse JFK rejected during the Cuban missile crisis--then a simple treaty would negate that concern. Troop limitations on both sides of the border, unless reasonably justified and the need verified, would suffice after that.

It's not like the Baltics host nuclear weapons. That would be seriously stupid on the part of NATO.

The rest of the blather is mostly the usual "why should we send our soldiers to die for them, risking nuclear war?" or "we had the Monroe Doctrine, what are they, chopped chicken liver?" blather.

in American history, in the 1930s. They were not generals and they were not trraitrors because the US was not yet in WWII, but they were famous Americans who were fascists who admired Hitler and had a following in the US.
