Calling B.S. on this story. This is Milley trying to save his own ass.
I think you are correct. The US military generals and admirals and the US intelligence community are trying to CYA right now and if it takes turning on Biteme or Trump or both they will do so. Twenty years of no coherent strategy to win the war and an intelligence community that hasn’t got anything right since the Cold War. This bunch of idiots couldn’t pick the winner of a one horse race.
