Trump-Era NSA Mike Flynn Slams Nikki Haley Over Ukraine: 'You Speak Of Wars As Though You Know Them...You Do Not'

What Happened: Trump-era National Security Advisor, Mike Flynn, criticized Nikki Haley’s approach to foreign affairs, particularly regarding Ukraine, in a tweet posted on Saturday. Flynn questioned Haley’s understanding of wars and their costs, suggesting that she was promoting concepts she didn’t fully comprehend.

Flynn was responding to a tweet from Haley, which read, “Mark my words. Those who would abandon Ukraine today are at risk of abandoning Israel tomorrow. They've lost sight of who our friends are, who our enemies are, who is good and who is evil. That is NOT who you want in the Oval Office! #RJCVegas”.

Why It Matters: Notably, Flynn’s tweet was shared by rival GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who has expressed concerns about a potential Israeli ground invasion into Gaza, suggesting it could have adverse implications for both Israel and the U.S.

Flynn’s remarks come amidst a broader debate among GOP presidential candidates about America’s global role and its stance on conflicts such as the Israel-Hamas war. Candidates have been outlining their perspectives and critiquing the Biden administration’s approach.

Trump pardoned Flynn in 2020. He had pleaded guilty twice to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding his contacts with Russia. He later renounced his guilty pleas and accused prosecutors of framing him, reported Politico.
