NEW YORK, NY — In a recent statement, General Flynn called for an immediate halt of all U.S. financial assistance to Iraq, citing extensive expenditures and prioritizing American interests.

Flynn highlighted the significant financial cost to the United States from its involvement in Iraq, emphasizing that over 20 years, the expenditure has reached $7 trillion. He pointed out the scale of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, noting its status as the most substantial and advanced U.S. Embassy globally.

His critique extended to current U.S. foreign policy, urging for an abrupt end to payments to Iraq, Iran, and other nations he deemed unappreciative of U.S. support. Flynn underscored the urgency of focusing on American interests in all decision-making processes, warning of severe consequences if such measures are not taken.

In a further denouncement of current leadership, Flynn called for the resignation of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the impeachment of President Joe Biden, expressing dissatisfaction with the Republican Party’s response to these issues.
