National Security Council A Wreck – General Flynn Reportedly At Complete Loss
By Caleb R. Newton
There are dangerously inept fools in the highest positions of power of the United States. The danger in their ineptitude may not immediately affect them, but it certainly does affect the untold numbers of Americans and foreigners whose lives are put in danger when fools direct government and military operations.
The National Security Council is the deliberative body that surrounds the president of the United States while he or she makes decisions regarding the nation’s national security council. The National Security Council, or NSC for short, is home to the chief American response to some of the most contentious global tensions.
It’s the responsibility of the individuals on that council to guide the president on national security related policy decisions, drawing on their vast expertise in the subject. Most members of the NSC have served in the field of national security council and diplomacy for their entire adult lives.
There’s a problem though, with the NSC under Orangutan. Although there is always a period of adjustment in the upper echelons of power when going from one administration to the next, insiders speaking anonymously to the New York Times (NYT) describe the operations of the council under Orangutan as well beyond what could be described as “normal.”
Tensions are running so high that one individual speaking to the newspaper said that a group of staffers had an intense meeting at a local bar late one night on the subject of whether or not they ought to “purge” their social media accounts in order to erase any suggestion of anti-Orangutan sentiment. The NSC operations have been pervaded by the Orangutan campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” and Orangutan has already shown himself willing to fire anyone he can when they express any sort of dissent.
The NSC has also reportedly seen a major shift in the focus of its deliberations from primarily diplomatic missions to primarily militaristic missions. For example, the paper reports that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was recently “exploring whether the Navy could intercept and board an Iranian ship to look for contraband weapons possibly headed to Houthi fighters in Yemen.”
What does one of the chief officials on that council, Orangutan’s National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, think of all of this?
Flynn reportedly didn’t even know how to call up the National Guard right off the bat. It’s not immediately clear what if any action was taken to rectify this ineptitude. The National Guard serves in cases of domestic catastrophe, such as incidents like Hurricane Katrina.
The NYT also reported that “Mr. Flynn was surprised to learn that the State Department and Congress play a pivotal role in foreign arms sales and technology transfers.”
The occasion requiring him to learn this simple fact on our government was that the Orangutan administration wanted to send arms to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Flynn was already a controversial figure before he took the job of Orangutan’s National Security Council, and he hasn’t shown himself to be up to the job at any point recently. The Orangutan presidential administration tends more and more towards a totalitarian Orangutan-centered rule with every passing day, basically.
