Retired US Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has urged Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment to prevent President Joe Biden from\u00a0\u201csleepwalking\u201d<\/em>\u00a0into a third world war after he permitted Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory.<\/p>\n While Washington has not officially confirmed granting such permission, the Russian Defense Ministry has said Kiev has already used the US-supplied missiles to target Russia\u2019s Bryansk Region. Additionally, Biden this week decided to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines, breaking his 2022 promise to restrict their use.<\/p>\n \u201cThe current House of Representatives must impeach Biden for endangering the United States,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Flynn wrote in a post on X, arguing that his former boss was impeached for much less.\u00a0\u201cHarris should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Biden \u2013 he\u2019s sleepwalking us into WWIII. Let\u2019s at least put constitutional pressure on Harris because Joe\u2019s poor memory makes him unaccountable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In the meantime, President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s allies and potential appointees, such as former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who is tapped to become US Attorney General, should not stay silent, and should reveal\u00a0\u201cthe identities of the deep state operatives pulling the strings of the presidency, urging Biden to act recklessly,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Flynn\u00a0said.<\/p>\n \u201cIncoming US officials must make contact with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to deescalate the situation,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he added, drawing parallels to his own conversation with a former Russian ambassador, which made him one of the key figures in the \u2018Russiagate\u2019 conspiracy.\u00a0\u201cDifferent circumstance but same outcome \u2013 deescalation,\u201d<\/em> he noted.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s ambassador to the US at the time. The controversy fed into broader allegations that the Trump campaign had colluded with Moscow to win the election, an allegation that Trump strongly denied, accusing Democrats of staging a\u00a0\u201cwitch hunt.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his call with Kislyak but later withdrew his plea, claiming the government had tried to frame him. The Justice Department dropped the charges against Flynn in 2020, and Trump pardoned him later that year.<\/p>\n
