Gen. Michael Flynn has warned that NATO’s “threatened Eastern expansion” could “become the principal cause of a devastating war.” Flynn was briefly Trump’s National Security Advisor, before his forced ouster as part of the Russiagate operation against both Trump and the potential for a new paradigm of peaceful cooperation with Russia.
Writing in the Western Journal, Flynn warns of the danger of “most Americans having no idea how close we have been brought to armed conflict with the Russian Federation.”
“The rhetoric about the Ukraine conflict is out of control,” he asserts, citing lunatic Sen. Roger “Wicked” Wicker’s statement that “we don’t rule out first-use nuclear action” in potential conflict with Russia.
“First-use nuclear action rhetoric is not only extremely dangerous, but these types of nonsensical remarks also threaten the stability of the entire world,” Flynn asserts. If Ukraine were admitted to NATO, Russia would face nuclear missiles placed literally on its border, “closer to Russia than Cuba is to the United States.”
If President Kennedy were justified in risking war to prevent the placement of nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1961, why would Putin not be justified in acting resolutely and with military-technical means to prevent the stationing of nuclear weapons in Ukraine today?
“The events of October 1962 remind us that there are great principles that govern how great nations must treat each other to preserve the peace,” Flynn reflects.
