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."

Hang him.
My prediction: Nothing will ever happen to him until his usefulness to the left expires.
I think that sounds familiar
Milley will be gone by the weekend.
Miley will not be gone these Marxists have taken over our entire government Miley will be praised for his actions BANK ON IT!!! The military is NOT what it used to be the military will NO LONGER defend us against domestic enemies hell they think WE ARE the enemy!!!
treason.
Just like Benedict Arnold, he’ll roam freely.
How are his actions any different from those of Gen. Flynn’s who was ultimately tried?
Jennifer Griffin and Rick Grenell have both shot this story down. FWIW.
If reports about Milley (from Woodward) are true, what Flynn did was completely different. Flynn actually is loyal to the Constitution. Are you a Milley fan?
Is there any real proof other than Bob “ worse than Watergate “ Woodward’s word? I need a recording at least.
Of course not.......Sheesh!
Now, that being said, IF he did make this call and said he would forewarn them, the military MUST relieve him of command regardless of whatever Biden thinks. Someone, somewhere, must put on some big boy pants to protect this nation!

No way anyone that deranged and paranoid should have any position of authority.
Indeed but, we already knew that.
Like China, I don’t expect Milley to be punished. Probably lauded instead for protecting America from that “tyrant” Trump.
You can be assured, deep state, dems, rinos and never a mean tweet a anti-Trumpers are currently circling the wagons.
President Trump says it’s fake news.
He needs to be put up against a wall and SHOT.
