.... To defeat the “vicious enemy” that is Islamic State, US and Russia and the EU need to work together, share information, and stop the rampant political correctness, former head of US military intelligence General Michael Flynn told RT. ....
.... Flynn, who led the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) between 2012 and 2014 and commanded US Special Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq before that, believes there is a direct link between migrant crisis and the Brussels and Paris terror attacks. ....
.... There is very little coordination between EU nations right now, even as border controls “absolutely” have to be tightened, Flynn warned, reminding that Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) has said it wanted to infiltrate Europe and the US through the refugee stream. ....
.... “This is not just authorities in Belgium, this is the leadership of Europe, of the EU,” Flynn said, arguing that the US, Russia and the entire international community have to stand together against what he described as a “vicious enemy, getting worse by the day.” ....
.... The first step would be to take the threat seriously, he argued, pointing out that the EU has not done so. While governments all over Europe preach multiculturalism, terrorists hide in “no-go areas,” where law enforcement is too afraid to go into. ....
.... “You can’t have that in one’s country, you just can’t have that,” Flynn said.
Turkey will have to step up its border control, stop the flow of foreign fighters from anywhere between 80 and 120 countries into Syria and Iraq, and as a moderate Muslim country, “do much more to restrain this radical Islamic cancer,” Flynn added. “There should be some demands on them to do that.” ....
.... “We’re not talking 30,000 guys in Syria anymore – we’re talking about potentially a million radicalized Muslims around the world.” ....
