    I would be shocked if I didn't know that there is no limit to the cult of personality around Trump.

    He would unleash WW3, you'd still be on this forum defending him.

    So no, I'm not shocked at all.

    Well consider we're not shocked you have nutty thoughts that Trump somehow was trying to overthrow the government. It's a very dangerous that you actually think this was a good idea based on wacko progressive conspiracy theories.

    Read your own post, he would blah blah blah, yet he didn't. Do you have a shred of intel saying Trump was going to start WW3 lol. Crazy stuff going on in woke world.

    TDS on display here. Trump was never going to go rogue, but Milley did, subverting the Constitutional authority of the President. Of course that was nothing new, Dems did everything they could to subvert President Trump from day one of his administration.

    Milley and Pompeo are pretty far from being progressives.

    They were both appointed by Trump and made the decision, together, that action was needed to protect the country from an unhinged President.

    That's all.

    He won, so that's irrelevant.

    There's more. Four year's worth. That was just the first.

    What do you care?

    The head of cybersecurity, the director of the FBI, the attorney general, 59 federal judges, and all the supreme court justices said there was no election fraud, you and your friends still dragged them through the mud.

    Even if all the heads of the US security agencies came out publicly to support Milley - which might very well happen - you and the rest of the MAGA would spit on them and call them liars.

    The cult cannot be defeated.

    Your right why should I care if the military takes away the President's ability to defend the country because of he may do something based on the thoughts of his radical political enemies and their conspiracy wacko theories. What could go wrong....See Cuba...................See Venezuela..See NK.................

    Not to defend the country, to attack another nation.

    That's the part you'll never understand.

    Oh, we understand. Milley’s actions let China know their are traitors in the President’s administration. I’m sure Chinese leaders grinned and said to themselves “ Good stuff to know.”

    Of all the things you can believe or choose not to believe, you can rest assured China KNEW there were people in that shitshow who would at least try and put the brakes on a preemptive strike with no rationale....

    All they knew after that first phone call is how high up that went...

    "Thoughts ?" At this point there is only one (ONE) thing to think... that General Mark Milley must be made to face a court-martial in which all charges must be enumerated and explored thoroughly to determine whether or not he committed crimes as specified in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

    Again, at this point, these very serious charges have been made, but as yet they are unproven! Thus, the legal process must be put into action and a determination must be made regarding his guilt or innocence, according to all applicable laws.

    Can we all agree on at least that much...? :flagus:

    Yes. My family has been here since the early 18th century and fought in the Revolution. I have an MA in political science and taught American Government in grad school.

    You should comment on the mental state of the crowd that screamed uselessly at that sky in 2016 and beyond, that rioted because Trump won, that made up hysterical scenarios weekly that were complete garbage that now think Biden's dictates are simply fine.

    As the chief military advisor to the President, by law, Milley is part of the decision-making process. And, he didn't say that he would overrule the President, only that he would warn the Chinese of an impending attack, IF the President chose to make an unannounced military attack on China. Are you arguing that the President could have legally ordered a "sneak attack" (as in Pearl Harbor) on China without Congressional approval?

    Not really.

    And the reason is quite simple: we will soon discover that Milley was far from being alone in his approach and that several high ranking army officers and Pompeo were perfectly aware of what he was doing.

    Get ready to write a lot of names in your list of so-called traitors.

    I think that list would begin with Pelosi and Schumer who worked relentlessly by “any means necessary” to destroy a legitimately elected President. A four year coup attempt.

    Yeah, I cannot agree to that either.... no charges have been made.... I'm sure Milley will spend some time in front of some useless congressional panel or another (something I GUARANTEE you the right will NOT want, because then he'll be forced to explain WHY he did what he did), but I cannot see that he broke any laws here, civilian or military....

    Remember McConnell's claim??

    There has also been a long period of built-up tension between the U.S. and China over trade policy and the South China Sea. But I was specifically referencing the "sneak attack" aspect of the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, at the beginning of WW II. Milley can speak for himself, but I suspect that's what he had in mind in the calls to his Chinese counterpart.
