So Milley was running the whole Ukraine war with Russia without telling the public -report
American Thinker ^ | March 31, 2025 | By Monica Showalter

The first casualty in war is the truth, and now the New York Times has revealed how true that was.

While the U.S. public under the Biden administration was told, via Congress, that the U.S. was supplying arms to Ukraine, actually, the U.S. was pretty much running the whole show.

#

The U.S. was pretty much calling the shots on all aspects of the war -- targets, intelligence, trainings, logistics and all kinds of sneaky pete inside Russia itself, ostensibly to keep the information out of Putin's hands, the idea being to let him think Ukraine was putting up a ferocious fight on its own.

#

They supplied coordinates to the Ukrainians on Russian targets from a base in Wiesbaden. They supplied mobile artillery units called HIMARS for satellite-guided rockets on Russian targets with American troops calling every shot. They put boots on the ground, and more boots on the ground, calling them "subject matter experts." They dispatched the U.S. Navy to share targeting information on Russian warships beyond Ukrainian waters -- when Ukraine sank Russia's flagship battleship without a navy, through drones, that was what was going on.

Then mission creep came calling, and soon enough, the U.S. was handing out intelligence on Russian locations for military strikes.

#

The problem with this whole mission-creep approach in Ukraine is less that it happened than that it amounted to an undeclared war that the public wasn't aware of. That's not good in a democracy.

#

That's Milley for you, though -- he got us into deep involvement in a war Joe Biden was unwilling to ask the public to go along with because he suspected the answer would be 'no,' but he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer.

More like he ran a slaughter house. No wonder it went so poorly. Did he warn China and Russia in advance of the moves he was making?

Recall him to active duty and Court Marshall him. If convicted, send him to Leavenworth to serve out his sentence.

This reads like a few episodes of a lamentable TV series Madam Secretary, with Tea Leoni. They had sevral instances of giving the Ukies info and weapons to deter and defeat a Ruskie incursion.

No wonder Ukraine is such a disaster.

Only an incompetent like Milley could start a war and use 40% of America's vast pre war war reserves and still lose a war to a country as weak and unprepared as Russia was at the start of this war.

So Milley was supposed to be sworn to work for America’s interests. He was sneaking.

Lipstick On Your Collar
hit song by Connie Francis in 1959.

Told me you were goin’ out for a soda pop
You were gone for quite a while, half an hour or more
You came back and man, oh man, this is what I saw

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar, you and I are through
‘Cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you, yeah

Milley, the insubordinate a$$hole, needs to be brought up on charges.

"Recall him to active duty and Court Marshall him."

Something really stinks here!

The Joint Chiefs of Staff are advisors to the President. As the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Milley leads the advisory effort.

The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense, to the Combatant Commanders for operational matters, or to the respective Service Secretaries for non-operational matters. The Joint Chiefs of Staff are nowhere in the chain of command.

Recall every officer involved and demand to know why they refused to follow an illegal order before demoting, imprisoning, and stripping their pensions from them.
