The problem with Flynn is that he is not a Paleolithic supporter of evangelical Sharia; the GOP badly needs those millions of evangelical Christian votes. Additionally, he's in favor of a partnership of interests with Russia -- spanning all hot spots from Ukraine to the Middle East. This, of course, is anathema in the Beltway.
People beginning to gather at Cleveland's Settlers Landing for pro # Trump rally.
Yet Flynn also did himself no favors, when, promoting his new book The Field of Fight, he insisted that, "We're in a global war, facing an enemy alliance that runs from Pyongyang, North Korea, to Havana, Cuba, and Caracas, Venezuela. Along the way, the alliance picks up radical Muslim countries and organizations such as Iran, al Qaeda, the Taliban and Islamic State.That's a formidable coalition, and nobody should be shocked to discover that we are losing the war." This mind-boggling nonsense was penned by his mentor and co-writer, neocon nullity Michael Ledeen.
Still, Flynn is now on Trump's shortlist for head of the Pentagon. At least, unlike The Three Harpies (Clinton, Flournoy and Nuland), he won't be gunning to start a simultaneous war against Russia and China.
What makes Donald runSome powerful, well-connected business interests supporting Trump from New York to the Midwest have outlined their reasons to me, off the record. The fact that their reasons run completely opposite to the Beltway consensus speaks volumes.
Why Russia? "Because Russia does not rig their currency against us to destroy our industries, and is therefore a natural ally rather then Germany and Japan, who still rig their currencies against the United States and have destroyed much of our industrial power."
These self-described American patriots are adamant that, "We should repatriate our industries that support the weapons for our military industrial complex and all other industries lost to currency rigging. This is doubly necessary as Russian and Chinese advanced submarines can disrupt the mainland production of our weaponry by blocking shipping from Asia of our components. The United States weapons production could, therefore, collapse in a war."
For these business interests, illegal immigration, rigged currencies, and the "unnecessary war" against Russia are the biggest issues of the presidential campaign.
