Milley: China more aggressive, dangerous to US, allies
Associated Press ^ | July 24, 2022 | Lolita C. Baldor

The Chinese military has become significantly more aggressive and dangerous over the past five years, the top U.S. military officer said during a trip to the Indo-Pacific that included a stop Sunday in Indonesia.

U.S. Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the number of intercepts by Chinese aircraft and ships in the Pacific region with U.S. and other partner forces has increased significantly over that time, and the number of unsafe interactions has risen by similar proportions.

“The message is the Chinese military, in the air and at sea, have become significantly more and noticeably more aggressive in this particular region,” said Milley, who recently asked his staff to compile details about interactions between China and the U.S. and others in the region.

His comments came as the U.S. redoubles efforts to strengthen its relationships with Pacific nations as a counterbalance to China, which is trying to expand its presence and influence in the region. The Biden administration considers China its “pacing threat” and America’s primary long-term security challenge. …

My vision is instead that Trump would say “I do” to oath, turn around, walk over to Milley and 1 foot from his face say “Your Fired”!

Why are we spending $500 million a day propping up the corruptocracy in Ukraine? Why has our world wide force readiness been totally compromised by the intrigues of the EU and DC globalist/neocon axis in Eastern Europe? Why wasn’t this commitment made to check our only existential threat, China?

Means nothing to me...Trump appointed the SOB. He's too enamored with generals with a chest full of participation medals.

In my 8 years, I had basically two: Army Commendation Medal and Meritorious Service Medal...and my jump wings, of course. I was on active duty from 76-84, not much was going on, besides the Cold War.

While Brandon is kicking thousands out of the military because they don’t want the vaccine. Is Brandon more stupid or more evil? Do his handlers want us to lose the next war? And who gets the honor of kicking our butt first, China or Russia?

“..I would rather see milley perp walked to the United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB), colloquially known as Leavenworth....”

Well, you’re about halfway there.
He, then, needs to be tried for sedition, treason, etc, sentenced to execution, marched out to the firing squad and immediately shot. or marched to the gallows and immediately hanged. His choice of method.

There is a belief that Trump will be elected and come in and kick ass.

Trump cannot do anything if elected. No one currently in the military or other agencies would obey him. Hell they didn’t while he was in office last time.

The leftist extremist takeover is pervasive.

^^^^^^

This. All Trump can do is get the ball rolling, but it’s going to take a lot of time to undo the damage.

Has Milley been asleep or on vacation. All he knows about the military is there level of wokeness and the extent of CRT in the training of combat troops.

That’s treason.

The entire military brass can be purged at the CIC’s order. Obama did it.

What’s the normal reaction to a more aggressive China? You strategically reposition your assets to counter that aggressiveness. You, like the boobs in the Pentagon, see no connection to the US pulling reserves and scarce materiel away from being available for deterrence against China to be pi$$ed away in Ukraine. And SOB, they become more aggressive.

Due to the incompetence of Vladimir Putin, Russia is now at threat for a Chinese invasion of Siberia.
