Ex-US general calls for ‘urgent’ early removal of Biden

Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, wants to “stop the madness before WWIII is irreversible”

Retired US Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has urged Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment to prevent President Joe Biden from “sleepwalking” into World War III after he allegedly permitted Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory.

While Washington has neither confirmed nor denied the anonymously sourced reports, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that Kiev has already used the US-supplied missiles to target Russia’s Bryansk region. Additionally, Biden abruptly decided to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines, breaking his 2022 promise to restrict their use.

“The current House of Representatives must impeach Biden for endangering the United States,” Flynn said in a post on X, arguing that his former boss was impeached for much less. “Harris should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Biden – he’s sleepwalking us into WWIII. Let’s at least put constitutional pressure on Harris because Joe’s poor memory makes him unaccountable.”

In the meantime, President-elect Donald Trump’s allies and potential appointees, such as former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who is tapped to become US Attorney General, should not stay silent and reveal “the identities of the deep state operatives pulling the strings of the presidency, urging Biden to act recklessly,” Flynn said.

“Incoming US officials must make contact with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to deescalate the situation,” he added, drawing parallels to his own conversation with a former Russian ambassador, which made him one of the key figures in the ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy. “Different circumstance but same outcome – deescalation,” he noted.

Trump appointed Flynn as an adviser shortly after taking office in January 2017. However, Flynn was forced to resign less than a month later after being accused of misleading officials about a phone conversation with Sergey Kislyak, Russia’s ambassador to the US at the time. This controversy arose amid broader allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to win the election, which Trump strongly denied, accusing Democrats of staging a “witch hunt.”

In 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his call with Kislyak but later withdrew his plea, claiming the government tried to frame him. The Justice Department dropped the charges against Flynn in 2020, and Trump pardoned him for any wrongdoing later that year.
