TRUMP WOULD CONSIDER NUKES IN IRAN I spoke with General Michael Flynn, who served as Trump’s National Security Advisor and previously ran the Defense Intelligence Agency. I asked him directly whether Trump might even CONSIDER using a nuclear weapon against Iran. His answer was YES.
Flynn explained that nuclear weapons can be included among the options presented to a president during military planning. That doesn’t mean Trump intends to use one. But Flynn, who was personally involved in nuclear decision-making at the highest levels, believes the option should be taken OFF the table. He also delivered a remarkably strong warning about the wider war.
Flynn believes another major escalation could become an American strategic disaster comparable to Iraq. His advice? Declare victory, withdraw American forces and stop spending billions on a war with no clear political endgame.
We discussed America’s overstretched military, its enormous debt and why Flynn believes Washington needs to start “unwinding the empire.” But his most striking argument went beyond Iran. America’s greatest national security threat, Flynn believes, is no longer a foreign adversary. It’s the collapse of trust between Americans and their own government.
