Gen. Mark Milley took secret action to secure nukes from 'unstable' Trump after he lost the election and called China's top military leader
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 09/14/2021 12:46:07 PM PDT by algore

Milley as the top ranking military officer met with top military officials in the Pentagon two days after the MAGA riot and telling them to keep him in the process for all military actions, including the use of nuclear weapons.

It also involved outreach to Milley's counterpart in the Chinese military to provide reassurances the US would not strike its rival, according to the book.

'If you get calls, no matter who they’re from, there’s a process here, there’s a procedure. No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure,' he told top US military officials inside the Pentagon's war room two days after the riot,'

'You never know what a president's trigger point is,' Milley told them, according to the book, which relies on Woodward's well-established methods of relying on 'deep background' information provided sources, some of them anonymously, as well as documents and interviews, to attempt to reconstruct events and conversations.

He feared Trump was suffering 'serious mental decline,' Woodward and coauthor Bob Costa reported.

Milley told them, according to the book: 'The strict procedures are explicitly designed to avoid inadvertent mistakes or accident or nefarious, unintentional, illegal, immoral, unethical launching of the world’s most dangerous weapons.'

'Got it?' Milley asked his team members. 'Yes, sir,' they replied, in an exchange Milley considered 'an oath.'

Milley told CIA Director Gina Haspel: 'Aggressively watch everything, 360.' The authors write that Milley was concerned Trump might go 'rogue.'

Just as stunning were Milley's reported actions that same date to the head of China's powerful military, to reassure his counterpart that the US was not going to attack China and set off a clash with a major nuclear power.

Sounds like Milley was the leader of the real insurrection.

I also suspect that Milley contacted Marshal Sergi Shogyu, Russia’s Defense minister, and told him the same thing, and that Shogyu relayed this info to Putin. The difference is that Chinese contact is more difficult due to no back channels, where there are multiple channels to contact Russia due to nuclear protocals and treaties.

I have no problem with Woodward trying to make Trump look bad here and make Milley look good because it can only lead to Milley being hung for Treason. Keep digging!

Imagine if he had done same under George Washington with the British.
What would have been his fate?

So the petulent traitor left us open to annihilation all because Trump made a boo boo face he didn’t like.

Milley is a disgrace. What gives this over-decorated blowhard the right to even try to determine that his civilian commander is “unstable”, let alone reach out to foreign militaries without oversight from his commander-in-chief?

“This man should immediately be subject to court-marshal and sentenced to hang till dead. I cannot think of a better example of High Treason>”

With his communicating with a foreign power behind the president’s back, and Pelosi joining in, they both risked nuclear destruction and should be tried for treason.

“Milley told them, according to the book: ‘The strict procedures are explicitly designed to avoid inadvertent mistakes or accident or nefarious, unintentional, illegal, immoral, unethical launching of the world’s most dangerous weapons.’”

Milley the Mouse cannot change the nuclear procedures. I hate his guts, but I highly doubt he said that quote. Anyone in the nuclear business knows why.

In a sane and rational society, he would be hung.

In ours? He will get a rainbow medal and a fifth star

this over-decorated blowhard

Well, a lot of birthday ribbons, but no combat awards that I can see. No bronze or silver star or "V"s

Told China He Would Warn Them If USA Attacked!

The book also revealed that Milley had two back-channel phone calls with China’s top general to reassure him that the U.S. would not attack, even promising to give him a heads up if it did.
