More quotes by 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
Egypt is going to be, potentially, a failed state if we don't help 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
We have a problem with radical Islamism and I actually think that we could work together with Russia against this enemy. They have a worse problem than America does.
Michael T. Flynn
I like serving America.
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.

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.
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
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
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
Russia ought to get Iran to back out of the proxy wars they are involved in.
Michael T. Flynn
The Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party.
Michael T. Flynn
When you are given immunity that means that you've probably committed a crime.

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
When you look back, history is not going to be kind to these last 16 years from 2000 to 2016.
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
