Michael Flynn and the Military Industrial Complex

The Washington Post just reported on a payment of $68,000 made to Michael Flynn, the recently resigned NSA Advisor of the Trump Administration and retired Lt. General of the Army by the Russian Television Network. 

If you appear on RTN or Russian Television Network and are a retired U.S. Army General you can get paid for your appearance and it looks like you can get some face time with Vladimir Putin.

In the U.S.A. you might have to pay for that sit down with a Senate or Presidential Candidate and you might get a picture for your wall.  Betty De Vos donated a lot of money and became Secretary of Education, and so it goes. Wilber Ross is the Secretary of Commerce and may still be on the Board of Directors for the Bank of Cyprus which has big loan exposure in Russia, Ukraine, and China.

The most cynical of us might wonder what was General Flynn selling and what was Russia buying?

Sun Tzu said: "keep your friends close and your enemies closer".

What would he think of General Flynn?
