    No...you don't seem to grasp the significance of the Jan6 riot to the rest of the world. Milley was simply telling his Chinese counterpart that U.S. policy had NOT changed. He may have protected us from a Chinese preemptive first strike.

    That is on topic. Why didn't he ask his followers to immediately leave the Capitol Building?

    Yeah we git how yer mind operates.Like Milley.That Trump could easily
    have decided to Nuke China on some whim.That apparently was Milley's overall
    mindset.It is very difficult for a Potus to use the Red Phone to declare
    a nuclear attack.It has to go thru many Fail Safe modes.
    Nowhere near as easy breezie as a Potus to declare a need for
    use of National Guard.
    What in tarnation are you Talking about.

    Well...it will all come out in the investigations. Trump can explain, under oath and before Congress, or to the FBI why he didn't immediately ask his followers to leave the Capitol Building.

    Have you read the book?? From the excerpts I have seen........much of this is taken out of context. There was no"heads up"............ Apparently China was concerned about some of Trump's behavior....... and Milly ..with the knowledge of others.(including Esper)...... spoke to the Chinese counterpart to reassure him

    The real question is how come so many of the GOP ignored, minimized and enabled trumps nuttiness. Ans: they are terrified of this sociopath.

    Sociopaths , when cornered will do anything to distract or create a situation that benefits them.

    They should have gone with the 25th amendment The loss of the election did an incalculable psychological damage to someone already seriously flawed.

    Heck...most of the planet sees trump as mentally deranged. But the world also knows that his term in office was limited.........so they "handled" him. If it meant flattering his fragile ego.......they didit.. The fact that he is totally uncouth and ill mannered........ makeshima poor candidate for leading a great & modern nation. He is also not smart or knowledgeable. The above is all observable to anyone ...with a modicum of observation skills

    Trump says Biden won't fire Milley because Milley will spill the beans over Bidens disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

    If he said exactly that, and there are already conflicting stories of what was said, it's compelling evidence of telling the Chinese what they wanted to hear...

    If he had actually CALLED ahead of an unprovoked attack, you could then make that charge and the jury would be history....

    I don't see how you can charge treason (with a straight face) for simply saying what you might do in a hypothetical...

    Frankly, after researching this story, the aspect I'm most interested in is what exactly Milley saw that would end up with his seeing a "serious mental decline" in T**** after the election.... I mean above and beyond what the public was seeing...

    Who cares what Trump thinks?

    His only use today is to keep the Liberals in fear so they will come out and vote.

    This mental patient doesn't even realize that he's our greatest ally.

    Trumpism........true to form. He is a master at negative and destructive spin. Trust Him to bring up a distraction. Trump is terrified that Milly will reveal even more bizarre behavior of trump........ making his antic andnitness public. The author of the BIG LIE delusion .. has NO credibility.

    If its true what Milley did, its punishable by death and has grave implications. That's not spin.

    It wasn't Trump who wrote this book, it was leftist Bob Woodward.

    The elections are rigged.

    Don't bother to vote, you have no chance.

    He must keep the suspense as long as possible.

    He hasn't sucked enough money out of you yet.

    You have a point. .........and money is power. Keeping folks in suspense is part of his con game......and this is how he still has that strong grasp over the GOP. They have pinned their future on him.

    Seems to me the only talking and posting about Trump is the lefties, all day everyday. Trump's gone, he has no shot to win again get over it we sure as hell have. What we won't forget is the typical wacko lefty hypocrisy.......

    Of course.... but tRump's mental state is the subject of the book. Milly was not acting alone. ......so that means that many others were concerned about Trump's state of mind.....and potential inappropriate / dangerous action.

    Why was China concerned about some potential attack??... to begin with?? Why did it need reassurance that the US would not attack it?? The answer is a volatile irrational delusional. Donald.

    Woodward does his research....... he is no fool.

    Its speculation, without named sources.

    The idea that Trump was going to nuke China as an anti war POTUS that ended wars is laughable, but not the craziest thing lefties bought hook, line, and sinker.

    As for China being concerned about a strike I also doubt they were, nuclear powers don't go to war with each other, but through proxies.

    You are so mixed up in your story that it becomes laughable.

    It reminds me when Biden wasn't supposed to be at the airport for the victims of the Kabul bombing...

    As for Milley, it was General Li Zuocheng who asked to speak to him, because the Chinese government was afraid that Trump would launch an attack following his election defeat.

    You didn't know that, did you?

    IF it happened, records exist. There is a claim that US allies who were monitoring Beijing intercepted the communication.

    That will come out and it is no excuse for circumventing the chain of command and TELLING China what we were going to do.
