Top US military officer warns peace with China and Russia ‘fraying

The highest-ranking US military officer warned against “fraying” relations with China and Russia on Wednesday, advising urgent action to improve global ties and prevent a “great power war”.

Addressing Air Force Academy graduate officers, General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the US is walking a dangerous line in maintaining an appropriate level of competition with China and Russia.

“We are now in the 76th year of great power peace following World War II. And that peace is under stress, we can see it fraying at the edge,” Milley told the graduates.

More than 100 of the Air Force graduates will be joining the youngest American military branch, Space Force, to help protect US interests in outer space, as US geopolitical relations with both China and Russia are becoming increasingly strained.

In a short statement on Tuesday, the Kremlin announced US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a summit next month to discuss the “current status of and prospects for bilateral relations”.

The BBC reports that the first US-Russia summit of the Biden presidency will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 16. That will be at the end of Biden’s already scheduled trip to the UK for the G7 summit and Brussels for a meeting of Nato leaders, giving the president plenty of time to hear from US allies before sitting down with Putin.

Meanwhile, tensions between the US and China continue to escalate as lawmakers look to implement more stipulations on Chinese investment and reduce trade amid reports of human rights violations in Xinjiang province.

All we need to do to make them happy is give Taiwan to China. And Ukraine to Russia.

Seems like a pretty fair and reasonable thing to do to keep us on their good side.

Right?

“General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff”

Apologize Milley. It’s what you do best.

Milley is a very confused and rudderless fool.

He went out of his way to step forward disrespect the Commander-In-Chief and side with the seditionists.

Now he warns of the consequence brought about by the current Commander, who betrays his Nation with every breath.

MIlley is a third class doosh.

“US is walking a dangerous line in maintaining an appropriate level of competition with China and Russia.”

Weakness is provocative.

Biden is the weakest President in American history from the perspective of our most serious potential adversaries

The Biden regime is beyond real, totally together and completely capable... of bungling the US into war with China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and (fill in the blank). I have no doubt that Biden is incompetent enough, and so out of his depth, as to be the greatest single threat to the US, and the existence of democracy. No one could be more incompetent than brain dead Joe.
