Milley admits he would tell Chinese general if US launched an attack
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley admitted Wednesday that he would give his Chinese counterpart a heads up if the US launched an attack against Beijing.
Mark Milley, the US Army general who Donald Trump appointed as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now says the current Republican presidential nominee is a “fascist to the core” and says no person has ever posed more of a danger to the United States than the man who served as the 45th President of the United States.
Milley, a decorated military officer who became a target for right-wing scorn after it became known that he expressed concerns over Trump’s mental stability in the wake of his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, is described by journalist Bob Woodward in his new book, War, as incredibly alarmed at the prospect of a second Trump term in the White House. The Independent obtained a copy ahead of the book’s October 15 release date.
In the wake of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by a riotous mob of the then-president’s supporters, Woodward writes that Milley insisted on securing a meeting with the then-newly-minted attorney general, Merrick Garland, to urge him to investigate domestic violent extremism and far-right militia movements.
According to Woodward, a senior Department of Justice lawyer said at the time that Milley’s sit-down with Garland might have been the first-ever meeting between a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the country’s top civilian law enforcement official. He writes that the general asked for the meeting because he was “deeply convinced” that Trump remained “a danger to the country” even though he had been forced from office after Biden’s election win.

But the Army veteran expressed even more strident concerns to Woodward himself at a March 2023 meeting at the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC.
Woodward writes that when he approached Milley at a reception, the general spoke first and told him: “We gotta talk.”
He told the journalist that “no one has ever been as dangerous to this country” as the former president.
He asked: “Do you realize, do you see what this man is?”
Milley, who had been a source for Woodward’s last book, Peril, said he’d “glimpsed” Trump’s true nature when they previously spoke during the writing of that 2021 release, but he said he now knew exactly what the ex-president is.
“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country,” he said.
“A fascist to the core,” Milley repeated.
The general’s private comments to Woodward, which have not been previously reported, were echoed in cutting remarks Milley made publicly at his September 2023 retirement ceremony, when, without mentioning Trump’s name, he appeared to take a swipe at the ex-president.
In the impassioned speech, he defiantly said the US military is “unique” among the world’s fighting forces because it does not profess fealty to any one person.

““We don’t take an oath to a country, we don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant or a dictator,” he said.
Apparently referencing Trump, he immediately added: “And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator!”
““We take an oath to the Constitution and we take an oath to the idea that is America — and we’re willing to die to protect it,” he said.

Okay, so ya according to the book, Milley had conversations with his Chinese counterpart, General Li Zuocheng, to reassure him that the U.S. had no intention of launching an attack and that he would give him a heads-up if anything changed. Milley reportedly viewed this communication as necessary to avoid potential misunderstandings that could lead to conflict. He did this to maintain strategic stability and to prevent escalation.Milley admits he would tell Chinese general if US launched an attack

So please give me the date that he was court-martialed. Oh he wasn't? Thought so. 🤣

Garry (and a few others):
The sad thing is, I don't even think trump can do that anymore.Stable genius (and those who vote for him) say what?
A response like this makes me suspicious that you aren’t entirely open minded. He served under Trump for several years. You know what his job was, right? There is your context. Weird that so many veterans like yourself bend over backwards for a guy that views you and your service as something he needs to scrape off of the bottom of his shoe.
Acting like this is some form of traitorous behavior is comical. This is how things work. I was speaking with a former diplomat the other day—some may remember that I mentioned him last year in the Ukraine-Russia war thread. He was the back-channel negotiator with North Korea and routinely spoke with someone one step removed from Kim Jong Un. Their communication helped prevent situations from spiraling out of control. Without this type of diplomacy and back-channel communication, incidents like the Cuban Missile Crisis could have ended badly for the world. Communication is key to de-escalation. When communication stops, that’s when we should worry.
But the entertainment channel, FoxNews will tell its minions that this was treasonous and the uneducated masses will gobble it up.
Too many to list but to many it makes no difference. If DJT admitted under oath that he has been lying about well most everything he says many would say he is lying and it’s fake news
Are there? Yes.
****ing MA lib/marxist milley should be on Gitmo getting his ass pounded by the muslim brotherhood! Just an opinion from a combat Marine, but you mama's boy cocksuckers feel free to chime in........

I hit "Show ignored content" and immediately remember why I have some of these idiots on ignore. Mother of god.
Because you hate the truth and can't deal with it, and that's it and that's all........
That's the great thing about the internet for those types of nerds. They can claim whatever they want knowing that they'll never have to prove it.
Let's meet and I'll change your mind, fag?!!!!!!!!!!!!
The court that just told him he can do whatever he wants?
The thought of meeting a “fag” stranger really fires you up, huh?
