Flynn's Appointment And Intelligence Sharing

With new National Security Adviser General Flynn’s extensive ties to Russia, you have to wonder about how badly our intelligence-sharing with other allies will be effected. I’m sure there are a few countries who already felt burned by the way the British and the Americans twisted the intelligence in order to launch the ill-fated Iraq War, which is really the father of ISIS. And with the belief that US intelligence apparatus has apparently been infiltrated by Russian sympathizers, I would imagine that there will be quite a chill on our allies’ intelligence agencies willingness to share certain key data with us. And, as we all know, one of the best methods for stopping terrorists is a coordinated and open intelligence sharing system between multiple countries. That will certainly continue in some areas but in others I have a feeling it will be shut down, threatening the traditional Western alliance and even relationships with those in Asia. And we may all end up being less safe because of it.
