News - Flynn Alleges CIA Collusion Against Trump's Peace Efforts

In a provocative assertion, former US National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has accused the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of conspiring with European intelligence agencies to undermine President Donald Trump's attempts at negotiating peace in Ukraine. Flynn conveyed these allegations through a post on the social media platform X, indicating that the 'deep state' is operating in opposition to Trump. The ex-adviser claims that the CIA is working 'in cahoots with MI6 and other members of the European Union intelligence community' with the aim of nudging Washington into widening the conflict with Russia. Flynn portrays this scenario as part of a larger scheme driven by NATO, excluding the United States, to intensify hostilities with Russia. Echoing recent criticisms by former US Representative Tulsi Gabbard, who has alleged that Reuters is spreading false narratives to tarnish Trump's diplomatic efforts, Flynn emphasizes a narrative suggesting that internal and external elements are striving to perpetuate conflict. Flynn's recommendations to Trump are stern, urging him to dismiss the distorted viewpoints being disseminated by European supporters of Kiev. He seeks to rally a domestic anti-war sentiment by criticizing continued US financial support for Ukraine and accusing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky of stifling democratic processes under the guise of the ongoing conflict. Flynn's statements emerge during delicate US-Russia talks in Miami, where Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev has been engaging with top Trump allies, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, exploring avenues for a peace settlement. Moscow has accused European NATO members of allegedly attempting to dilute US-driven proposals and advocating for the seizure of frozen Russian assets to financially support Ukraine. Russian officials have expressed admiration for those challenging the established Western 'war lobby,' with Dmitriev commending figures like Gabbard for her efforts to unveil what he terms the 'origins of the Russia hoax' and highlighting the influence of the 'deep-state warmonger machinery.'
