The Epoch Times - American Thought Leaders | Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn: ‘I tell people that I'm not anti-war. I'm anti-stupid-war.’
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has been advising President-elect Donald Trump’s national security team. 👀
At Turning Point USA’s AmFest conference in Phoenix, Jan Jekielek sat down with him to discuss key challenges facing the incoming administration.
About America’s wars: “We went to war in Afghanistan, then we went to war in Iraq. Now we're looking at war in Eastern Europe. We still see the wars in the Middle East.
We have the rise of the Chinese Communist Party globally, around the world, and they constantly present a threat.
So my point is, is that we have to recognize that in order to understand the way the world is. we cannot be in this constant state of war, we just can't be. We have to return to a place where peace is the norm and war is the aberration.”

About Trump’s appointees and his own role: “What I have been doing is, you know, because my background is intelligence, national security, foreign policy, you know, certainly the military. And so I have been working with and advising, sort of in a background way, because that's the way I, like I want to be, you know, as things are now, particularly during this transition with the national security team that President Trump has assembled.

So, you know, from people like Tulsi Gabbard, who I've known for a long time. When Tulsi first came in as a first term Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, I got to know her then, and we've maintained that relationship for a long time, as well as, you know, Kash Patel, Mike Waltz, who's going to be the National Security Advisor…

Tom Holman, I've been in touch with Tom Holman off and trying to help him to, you know, to navigate. Tom doesn't need a lot of navigation. Tom knows exactly what he wants to do.”
