NEW EPISODE: CHINA’S UNRESTRICTED WARFARE: General Michael Flynn at the Indo Pacific Summit | Ep 51 | Going Rogue with Lara Logan In this episode, General Michael Flynn, speaking at the Indo Pacific Summit in Washington D.C. on December 11, 2025, discusses the concept of “unrestricted warfare,” highlighting threats posed by China, Russia, and their allies through economic, political, and cyber means. He emphasizes China’s global influence, especially its control over major ports and rare earth minerals, and warns of internal U.S. vulnerabilities, including political subversion and educational infiltration. At the summit, Flynn urged cautious alliances, calling for honesty in diplomacy, stronger partnerships, and renewed patriotism. He encouraged Americans to engage locally and uphold foundational values to counter both external and internal threats to democracy and national security.
