‘GREAT CONFIDENCE’: President Joe Biden has no intention of firing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley over published revelations that he sought to limit former President Donald Trump’s ability to launch a nuclear strike and told his Chinese counterpart he would warn him in advance of any U.S. military action aimed at China.
“I have great confidence in General Milley,” Biden told reporters at the White House, effectively signaling his job is secure for now. Milley, who serves at the pleasure of the president, would normally serve a four-year term, which would expire in September of 2023.
“The president knows General Milley. He has been chairman of the Joint Chiefs for almost eight months of his presidency,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. “They've worked side-by-side through a range of international events, and the president has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, and his fidelity to our Constitution.”
‘REGULAR COMMUNICATION’: Milley’s office issued a statement describing his calls to Chinese Gen. Li Zuocheng in October and January as “in keeping with [his] duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability.”
“The chairman of the Joint Chiefs regularly communicates with chiefs of defense across the world, including with China and Russia,” said Col. Dave Butler, a spokesman for the Joint Staff. “These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity, and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict.”
Butler said the calls were “staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department of Defense and the interagency,” and he insisted Milley acted “within his authority in the lawful tradition of civilian control of the military and his oath to the Constitution.”
Isn’t jen sackee O 💩 in charge of circle ops?
Screwed up Afghanistan, rightously droned an innocent family, but kept on because he hates Trump.
Just like they did for Fauci.
Yep, just the response I expected...”Eff you! What are you gonna do about it Jack? Nothin’ that’s what! Now shut up and get your vaccination.”
Best damned government that China can buy.
Biden wants to defend treason? Who is going to cogently argue that, if the transcript we have read is accurate, Milley DID NOT provide aid and comfort to an obvious potential military enemy? Step up, Democrats... and RHINOs, hang yourselves!
Thoroughly Modern Millie (musical set in 1922)
MILLIE AND ENSEMBLE:
Good-bye, good goody girl
I’m changing and how
MILLIE: I’m changing and how!
ALL:
So beat the drums ‘cause here comes thoroughly
Hot off the press! One step ahead! Jazz age!
Whoopee baby! We’re so thoroughly modern
MILLIE:
Millie!
seems that the pentagon is putting a LOT more
energy into protecting TREASON than
protecting/saving Americans and allies
that THEY LEFT BEHIND [”the plan was baked in”]
for slavery, beheading, rape and worse.
We are officially a Chinese client state with a puppet government. We are no longer masters of our own sovereignty.
Think of the precedent-that it’s okay for the military to work against an administration they oppose. Also the FBI and intelligence agencies. How could any thinking American think this is a good thing? How can this end well?
The corrupt corporate media and Jen Saki (Ginger Goebbels) are in bed together.
Ack!
I shouldn’t have typed that.

All of ‘em are in a Valium-induced frenzy right now.......desperately trying to cover it up.
Keep in mind, Woodward meant his sanguine, matter-of-fact story to damage Trump.....to beatify “heroic” Milley and Piglosi.
But....... it was written before the Afghanistan debacle......and backfired tremendously.
Feeble minded Bidens ruinous Exit gave new meaning to Mileys treasonous acts.....it proved more damaging to Milley than Trump.
China’s asset, Biden, HAD to know about the call, as well.
And what does China’s financial pal, Hunter, the renowned .....gag.....painter, know?
Can the judgement of this idiot be more in-question? This is a man who has been in national governance for nearly 50 years, many as a senator, 8 as VP, and now as 'resident'. A man who has met and associated with countless politicians and world leaders.
A man who called Hunter Biden "the smartest guy I know."
Is there any surprise that he supports Milley?
Biden is really missing a huge opportunity here. He should use this latest news to accuse Millie of treason and blame Afghanistan on him. The perfect scapgoat.
Col. Dave Butler, a spokesman for the Joint Staff, said the calls were “staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department of Defense and the interagency” .........

Biden already has his preferred scapegoat. He's blaming it all on Trump.
He doesn’t need to do that. The msm was already building a pre-planned news story to paint Trump as a mad man and Milley a savior to mankind.
Seriously.
Leftist are saying Trump was a fascist and Milley saved us from Trump going rogue nuclear.
I have watched as NONE of these criminals have had to face ANY justice at all and while treatment is now being regulated for those who won’t align themselves with the COVId vaccine cult.
Y’all do realize the majority of people think EVERYONE without exception should be vaccinated and that anyone who isn’t is crazy like Trump.
Milley is actually Trump’s fault.
That’s who appointed him.
