The Pentagon has appeared to confirm a bombshell report claiming that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley conspired to undermine then-President Donald Trump’s military authority and warn the Chinese government of any impending U.S. attacks.
According to newly released excerpts of “Peril,” an upcoming book authored by reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Milley was worried Trump would “go rogue,” conspired to subvert Trump’s ability to command U.S. nuclear weapons and promised his Chinese counterparts he would warn the Chinese in advance of any U.S. attack.
Axios reported that a spokesman for Milley addressed the report on Wednesday, saying Milley had indeed called his Chinese counterparts in October and January to convey “reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability.”
“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs regularly communicates with Chiefs of Defense across the world, including with China and Russia,” the spokesman said in a statement.
“These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict.

Ratcliffe and Pompeo were just on Hannity.....
......a MUST WATCH!
I am curious if General Milley has now called his North Korean counterpart to advise him not to worry, that he we will forewarn him if his cognitively challenged commander in chief should issue orders to launch an attack. Seems to me our enemy nations’ most precious intelligence asset is the incompetent political rogue heading up the Joint Chiefs office and disgracing the uniform.
Biden’s laughing about it. He know the pub can’t and won’t do a thing about it.
Not China, it is the Jan 6 Trump voters the threat! What a piece of deflecting garbage. He had to blame others.
So what happens next? Biden gives Milley a Presidential Medal of Freedom and Pelosi announces that she will impeach President Trump for the third time?
Please tell me this P.O.S. with take the honorable route and eat his gun tomorrow.
Yeah, who else has more to loose if the real story of this Afghanistan “Charlie Foxtrot” gets out?
This feels like a Trump setup. I’m thinking Trump put this together. Can’t wait to see what he has in store for Fauci.
John Bolton is deeply sadden to hear this news about his buddy.
Milley, fearing Trump would go rogue, went rogue.
Sounds like Milley is suffering from paranoid dementia. High octane, MSNBC-induced, brain-eating paranoia.
Truth, or an example of sensationalism we might see throughout the book ? I guess we’ll find out soon enough
All that the Pentagon "appears to confirm" is that the president's senior uniformed military advisor had a telephone conversation with his Red Chinese counterpart. Such a conversation is not unprecedented, and I'm sure many people on both sides certainly listened in. But what they actually discussed has not been confirmed -- and all we "know" is what Deep State tool Bob Woodward is telling us. I smell a rat, because if Milley was as bad as Woodward alleges, they'd want to keep him. What better way for the Deep State to remove an obstacle than to convince us to demand his scalp? There is a fevered rush to jump on this bandwagon, so I'm stepping back to see where it goes...
