There is no way Biden would’ve allowed Michael Flynn’s little brother to be in charge of PACCOM (which is the largest area command and includes China) if he was truly in control.

What is going on here?

Maybe he was qualified and not his brother?

Michael Flynn has been adamant about his family and how close they are. He has publicly stated that they are all on the same page.

There’s no way Biden would pick any of them for PACCOM if he had the option.

With Biden compromised by China, he’d pick someone else compromised by China. Looks like he had no choice

I was just spit balling. But I don’t think Biden makes his picks, his handlers do. I know what you’re getting at though

If China chose to attack us, it would be Michael Flynn’s brother who would be calling the shots. That’s a massive deal.

It is indeed. I’m ok with a Flynn being in that position.

Is it Pacific Command…or an Army command in the PACOM? PACOM is a 4 star command.

Is this another Q thread? It is, isn’t it?

Trump is not in charge of the military. There is no military op going on.

Biden makes zero decisions and commands nothing. He is the epitome of the kept man - saying what is written for him - signing what is shoved onto his desk - going where he is directed.

He was promoted to General several months ago. This assignment gets him far from Washington City. PACOM was changed to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. USARPAC is part of Indo-Pacific Command.
I was assigned to Pacific Command when I was in the Army. My official location was Det 1, US Embassy Bangkok. I was really assigned to Det 2, POW/MIA office in Hanoi.

Man, that is a real head twister.

Isn't this the same government that goes after your family when you cross them?

Younger brother informer on Flynn?

Everything happened with Trump people still in charge.

Nothing to do with Biden.

We should thank our lucky stars.

General officer appointments are not (primarily) based on qualifications. They are (for the most part) political.
