Retired US Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has called on Vice President Kamala Harris to activate the 25th Amendment to prevent President Joe Biden from inadvertently leading the nation into World War III. This plea follows reports that Biden allegedly allowed Ukraine to utilize ATACMS missiles to target areas deep within Russian territory.
While the U.S. government has not confirmed or denied these reports, the Russian Defense Ministry has claimed that Ukraine has already employed the U.S.-provided missiles against Russia’s Bryansk region. Furthermore, Biden has made a controversial decision to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines, contradicting his 2022 commitment to limit their use.
Flynn stated in a post on X, “The current House of Representatives must impeach Biden for jeopardizing the United States,” emphasizing that his former superior faced impeachment for far less. He urged Harris to promptly invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Biden, asserting, “He’s sleepwalking us into WWIII. We should at least apply constitutional pressure on Harris, as Joe’s impaired memory renders him unaccountable.”
Additionally, Flynn suggested that allies of President-elect Donald Trump, including former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who is expected to be appointed as US Attorney General, should not remain silent. He urged them to disclose “the identities of the deep state operatives manipulating the presidency and prompting Biden to act recklessly.”
He further emphasized the need for incoming U.S. officials to reach out to Russian President Vladimir Putin to help deescalate tensions, referencing his own past discussions with a former Russian ambassador that positioned him as a significant figure in the ‘Russiagate’ controversy. “Different circumstances but the same goal – deescalation,” he remarked.
Trump appointed Flynn as an adviser shortly after assuming office in January 2017. However, Flynn was compelled to resign within a month due to allegations of misleading officials regarding a phone call with Sergey Kislyak, who was the Russian ambassador to the United States at that time. This incident occurred against the backdrop of wider accusations that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia to secure the election victory, which Trump vehemently denied, labeling the investigations as a “witch hunt” orchestrated by Democrats.
In 2017, Flynn admitted guilt to the FBI for providing false information about his conversation with Kislyak but later retracted his plea, asserting that the government had attempted to set him up. In 2020, the Justice Department dismissed the charges against Flynn, and Trump subsequently granted him a pardon for any alleged misconduct later that same year.
