    How would reassurance that you were not going to let an obvious madman bomb them make matters worse

    Dear Gods and Little fishes have you any idea how deranged Trump looked to the rest of the world? I mean mostly your apologists who keep painting his turds do not get air time here so all we see is the raw unpainted naked (urp) Trump and that Trump looked like the bats had not only taken over the belfry but had invited every spook shade and spirit on the planet to join them.

    Best I can tell just a “department statement “ that the calls happened all the time but no confirmation he said those words and committed treason.. Pelosi will stay as far from this as she can.

    President Trump, for all his faults, was demonstrably the least war-mongering president of my lifetime. The people who believe he wanted to nuke China are the ones suffering from mental illness, not Trump.

    Amen. It's like they are mad he did not live up to the lies they libeled him with. His election was supposed to usher in WW3 and a global recession.
    Before covid the USA was doing great, record employment levels across the board, lowest number on food stamps...the left could not stand to watch us all prosper. But what do you expect from the party of welfare dependence? Independent Americans are bad news to them.

    Milley is an advisor to the President and a liaison to the Secretary of Defense. There is a team that handles diplomacy in the WH which Milley bypassed and went rogue.

    Anybody with a brain knows Trump isn’t a war monger. In fact the left is now trashing him for not being one in Afghanistan but no one ever accuse the left of being consistent when it comes to Trump.

    A question for all you Milley defenders -- Would you be OK if all the generals in the army started doing what Milley did?

    IF Woodward and Costas were able to find out about tRumps manic state don't you think Chinese intel knew or top gun was a loose cannon?

    All Milley did was give the Chinese a heads up that guard rails were up.

    I want to make a correction here.

    It was indeed the Chinese Defense Minister and Chief of Staff who asked to speak with Milley.

    Not the other way around.

    The entire Chinese government was worried that Trump would launch an attack on China to create a fake international crisis to keep himself in power.

    Following the 1/6 riot, they believed that the country was completely destabilized.

    Why do you keep referring to Donald Trump as "tRump"? It shows a real lack of class in you.

    Thanks for clarifying that, Ark. That is more proof that Milley didn't overstep any boundaries.

    Trump is clearly unstable and those concerns are valid. What his cult members label "in charge" is him not following procedure or protocols and a complete and total lack of decorum and discretion. It pains me deeply to know my fellow Americans are not only okay with what he's done and continues to do, but actually applaud it. It's revolting to know so many are so willing to trample our Constitution for an anti-American con artist.

    Our top USA military general was telling China he would warn them ahead of time should the USA plan an attack. Meanwhile he was stating that he wanted to learn more about "White Rage" here in the USA. And the moron is still drawing a paycheck from the USA taxpayers. I guess those who make excuses for senile Biden will also make excuses for moron Milley.

    Actually what's becoming clear is General Milley was called by China and he did not tell them he would warn them encase we attacked them. When he took the call China was inquiring about hearing tRump was manic and unstable. General Milley reassured them that guard rails were up. Other than our Top Gun was a loose cannon ... nothing to see here folks.

    Are you saying you don't know whats making headline news over the last week or were you just looking for sources you want to claim are not qualified to report what Defense secretary Miller is stating?
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...rump-defense-secretary-authorize-milley-china
    'I never authorized such conduct': Trump's defense secretary Chris Miller says Mark Milley should resign over call to Chinese counterparts as Biden spokeswoman Psaki uses Jan 6th riot to DEFEND ‘traitor’ general

    The red highlighted claim. Got the specific quote about warning them of an attack ahead of time.

    Not what some other person thinks was said.

    If there is a quote from Milley, post the quote and link to the source of said quote.

    So just to be clear,
    You don't know
    There is a transcript of the phone call obtained by Woodward and Costa of Milleys conversation with the Chinese General
    You don't know
    Milley told China, "If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time,
    And you don't know
    Milley isn't disputing it, but actually defending it
    And you don't know
    The Secretary of Defense Miller had no knowledge of it

    Is this what you're claiming? I need to know what you claim you don't know so I can provide you with the information requested.
