Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who President-elect Donald Trump recently designated his national security advisor, has come in for severe criticism by the mainstream media due to his attendance at an RT 10th anniversary reception in Moscow in December last year – where he sat next to Vladimir Putin – and other perceived “weakness” toward Russia (perceived by unhinged neocons and their shills).
However, there has also been worry concerning Flynn coming from Trump’s supporters, about whether the retired general and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency truly sympathizes with Trump’s expressed foreign policy goal of rapprochement with Russia and co-operation in the Middle East.
During his visit to RT, Flynn sat down for a 45-minute discussion which sheds some light on his foreign policy views. Now that he has been appointed to a key position in the new administration, it’s worth revisiting.
