Got the alert, was coming here to post about this. Flynn is gone.

This at least will make war with Iran less likely.

Heh. I'd wait till we see the replacement.

^This and on the surface it looks like Trump caved to the media and is managing like this is the Apprentice. If he thinks he will get some love from the media's wishes he is going to be in for surprise when they do an about face like they always do and bash him for it.

[cindy25]

glad to see him gone.

why don't these people use pre-paid cellphones? or skype with a VPN?

Will you still be glad to see him gone if he is replaced with or the likes of a John Bolton?

It's just fake news Trumpsters, all's well, move along.

This seems like a small win for pro-ISIS, anti-Russia camp.

There is some serious anger among many Dems/left wing neocons towards Russia due to Russia attacks on ISIS, Russian role in Syria/Ukraine, Russian UN vote against Israeli settlements, Putin's informing US voters about DNC-media collusion and Putin-Trump tag teams attacks on Obama.


That said, some of the cartoons of the situation from pro-Putin camp seem to cross the line and appear inappropriate:

Well, the one guy in the admin that is trying to normalize our relationship with Russia is gone. And he was fired/resigned for doing just that. This does not bode well for people rooting against our continued hostility with Russia.

[CaptUSA]

Yeah, they're not going to let this go with just one resignation...

The MSM will smell a scandal here that they can sell. What did the President know and when did he know it? Who was directing those conversations?

Couple this with Trump's failed Yemen raid and they're slowly getting their own "Benghazi". Nothing will ever come of it, but it will take administration resources to defend instead of working on any agenda.

[LifeLibertyPursuit]

MSM can go eat a bag of dicks. Flynn was eh, good for anti-ISIS but Iran not so much. We all know we are in a losing proposition with any president and the members picked for 2016, no matter who won. Trump has been 50/50 for me.

The media wants a witch hunt with this administration and not with Obama. Why?

This is about to get ugly. Things should smooth out once the MSM burns themselves out and wrecks their own rep.

[TheCount]

I view this as a good change. I didn't have a good feeling about that guy. Can we get a non-warmonger now to counterbalance Mattis?

They did that a long time ago, but there seems to be a never ending supply of idiots in this country so I guess it doesn't matter.

Well, the one guy in the admin that is trying to normalize our relationship with Russia is gone. And he was fired/resigned for doing just that. This does not bode well for people rooting against our continued hostility with Russia.Trump was very above-board with the American people about wanting to improve relations with Russia during the election. I don't think that there's any need for under-the-table discussions, nor do I particularly think that it should be the National Security Adviser doing the discussing. Tillerson is supposedly friendly with the Russians, and he's the frigging Secretary of State. Public, formal talks, trips to Eastern Europe and Russia, and big fancy conferences should be amongst his first tasks.

[TheCount]

According to the Post, Vice Adm. Harward is a likely pick. No real info on him, but here's the article:

Edit: Wiki profile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Harward

[A. Havnes]

It'll be interesting to see who comes in next. Flynn was a mixed bag in terms of foreign policy, kind of like how Trump is a mixed bag. It's hard to tell exactly what they're going to do now.

[milgram]

Harward grew up in Iran before the Revolution

I hope he doesn't have the same feeling towards the Iranian govt like how the Cubans who grew up in pre Castro Cuba has on the Cuban govt. Cos that would be a disaster

Ya, which is kinda silly cos if Trump was as pro Russia as the media wants us to believe, then there would be no need for that. Also, was it really under the table? they say he did not disclose the details of the meeting to Trump asnd it seems like Pence got butthurt about it.

And why do people keep saying Tillerson is pro Russia? he was doing business with them and making money for his company, he had to be friendly with the customer. Listening to his senate confirmation hearing shows that he is not so friendly to Russia. But now he is working for the American govt, not the oil company and he would also try to be friendly withe the American govt who is very anti Russia. I really think Flynn was the closest thing they had to an ally of Russia in the whole admin and he is gone.

He waged war on them. They're returning the favor. Collusion (of propaganda) in many areas is their preference.

With Flynn out, the question becomes whether Trump will downgrade his emerging relationship with Moscow.

NBC is calling the Flynn departure "arguably the biggest scandal involving a foreign government since Iran-Contra."

Even without Hillary they will have their Russia hostilities on the front burner. The real traitors to the world are now out in the open front and center. Can't have world peace its bad for corruption and people might want freedom instead of security.

[eleganz]

This Trump v. Intelligence war is so interesting.

But if the worst they can do is a phone call with Russian ambassador on sanctions, I guess they don't have much on Trump...
