Milley told Chinese officials he would warn of an attack in advance, according to the book
During the final months of former President Donald Trump's term, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley made two phone calls to Chinese officials in fear that Trump would create n Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa, it is alleged that Milley made two secret phone calls, both to his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army. The book alleges that the phone calls took place prior to the 2020 presidential election on Oct. 30, 2020, and two days after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, on Jan. 8, 2021.
According to the book, Milley contacted Zuocheng after he had reviewed intelligence that suggested Chinese officials believed the United States was planning an attack on China amid military exercises in the South China Sea.
"General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be OK," Milley told him during the first call, the book said. "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."
The book, excerpted in the Washington Post, also stated that Milley told Zuocheng that he would warn him in advance should America decide to "attack."
"Gen. Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time," Milley added, as reported by the book, "Peril," which is set to be released next week. "It's not going to be a surprise."
The authors of the book also claim Milley contacted Zuocheng a second time to reassure him that the U.S. would not make any type of advances or attack China in any form, as

All this shit with the CJCS assuring Red China we won’t attack them.. no wonder they’re acting aggressive toward Taiwan.
And a few of her friends
This is quite a distraction to keep everyone’s eyes off of the adversary’s main objective: to REMAIN IN POWER.
It wiped the stolen California recall right off the front page, and only sacrificed (maybe) one idiot general, and there are many more whence he came from.
Meanwhile, the PA Senate announced subpoenas to audit the General Election. 10 months after the fact. 10 months where Republicans have a majority in the state Senate. 10 months.
This is just a little glimpse into the mind of a radical liberal democrat. there are hundreds more just like him in the democrat party. Think about that. Geezus.
and I would add to the 10 month thing that the R’s know they dont need a supena to get what they want.
Issuing them is another stall tactic so the 10 months will turn into a year or more while the legal fight over the validity ensues.
Just like when the Rs said they’d repeal O’care if they controlled everything then did nothing when they controlled everything.
Take-aways: “Milley feared... Milley worried...”
If this is true, he put our troops in peril. This is HIGH TREASON in my humble opinion. This needs to be investigated and if found true, he needs to be arrested, charged and put on trial!!! Aiding the enemy. OUR enemies. We have three now. The Soviets, the Red Chinese and the Islamic terrorists, whom the other two use to attack us and then they can say, "our hands are clean, we didn't do nuttin'."
“the deep staters are getting more desperate, waiting for the AZ audit, Durham, etc...”
Yeah, where IS that audit??? It seems no matter how much dirt there was in the election we can’t get justice. It’s heart breaking.
I don’t know about the treason charge (literally, and I’m not saying you’re wrong) but I’d bet money he violated the Logan Act. He’s also in gross violation the UCMJ (that “good order and discipline” thing).
Coming from Bob Woodward, I’d be suspicious. Bob wipes his feet on the truth to say the least. But now that Milley freely admits it (much to the consternation of his future lawyer), he should be relieved, and that’s just for starters.
Count on it. He should be prosecuted under the UCMJ, his actions absolutely are prejudicial to good order and discipline, but nothing will happen to him on that, either. No general will put their head on the block for that, especially when the president will just say, “Nope, we’re not doing that.”
This is a great letter from PDJT.
WOULD THE TOADIES IN THE CORRUPT PRESS BE ABLE TO SEE THE 'SAMENESS'?
Claims of an attack without any credible evidence Trump was seeking to attack anyone. It is a false claim.
Why else would Joe Biden abuse the U. S. Constitution, the Republic and Freedom/Liberty of Americans going on at a galloping rate.
Gen. Mark Milley committed treason against his Commander-in-Chief.
Milley must be arrested, court-martialed and executed by firing squad.
How can he remain in uniform for another day?
Is this what happens when you promote an expert in political science to be in charge of the military? Exchanging information with the enemy gives them more information about you and your weaknesses.
How does contacting the top generals of the enemy carry out the orders of the Commander in Chief?
The job of the military is to kill the enemy and break things, not meals on wheels or policing, or pretending that you are a political operative.
