One of the things I learned was that Putin has no respect for the United States leadership. Not for the United States, but the leadership.

More quotes by Michael T. Flynn
Obama's decision to leave, to not sustain the victory that resulted after eight years of fighting, from 2003 to 2011 in Iraq, was another incredibly stupid decision. It was totally based on politics, not based on any notion of national security. It's a nightmare for our national security. And then you have the Libya intervention.
Michael T. Flynn
The Republican Party is no longer the Republican Party.
Michael T. Flynn
NATO was formed post-World War II. We're a little bit more than a half-century old. Do we want NATO to go on for another half-century? I think that the answer is, sitting here today: I don't know. If I had to bet on it, I would say, yeah, we have to have these alliances going forward and see who's going to pay for them.
Michael T. Flynn
Foreign policy is about US national security, it is definitely not non-intervention. It is definitely not isolationist. That's where people want to hear what they want to hear and not listen to what Donald Trump says. It is about national security for the United States, and that's fine.
Michael T. Flynn
I want to be able to speak freely about what I believe. There's a lot of people who would actually like to be able to do that but, for whatever reason, they can't.
Michael T. Flynn
The threat of nuclear warfare is very, very low. Trump is no fool, and he sees the world as a globalized world.
Michael T. Flynn
I like serving America.
Michael T. Flynn
Why do we take a dollar? Why do we give a dollar to countries that have no rights for women? We have to think about that.
Michael T. Flynn
Trump respects people who are selfish about their country. Putin is a guy who is very selfish about Russia and about the Russian federation, and he understands the history of his country. You can't say, I don't like you. You've got to respect him. He's a world leader.
Michael T. Flynn
People aren't going into gay bars in Orlando and saying, Jesus Christ! They're not going into the Charlie Hebdo, the 85-year-old priest who was beheaded on his alter, [the assailant wasn't] yelling Jesus Christ.
Michael T. Flynn
Donald Trump is a great listener, and he's a good challenger. He doesn't come across as a person who thinks he knows it all. In fact, he once told me he has had lot of things to learn.
Michael T. Flynn
The United States should not have to intervene in every single problem around the world. The voters of this country are reacting in a very big, broad way to Mr. Trump. They are frustrated by lousy decisions made by both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Look at the mess we have.
Michael T. Flynn
I think all of Europe has been too soft on the refugee crisis.
Michael T. Flynn
Russia ought to get Iran to back out of the proxy wars they are involved in.
Michael T. Flynn
We have a centrist nationalist group of people in this country, lots of them, and we have a socialist group of people in this country, lots of them. And that's not, to me, the American idea.
Michael T. Flynn
Islam is an ideology and there's a religious component to it that's radicalized and in some cases it masks itself behind that religion, especially in America, because of freedom of religion.
Michael T. Flynn
When you look back, history is not going to be kind to these last 16 years from 2000 to 2016.
Michael T. Flynn
Egypt is going to be, potentially, a failed state if we don't help them.
Michael T. Flynn
There's one thing that I know about myself, I could wash dishes and be happy.
Michael T. Flynn
I feel pretty passionate about what's happening to America.
