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

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.

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

Agree!!! I’ll get the rope........and hang Peelousey and many propaganda arms of the left that call themselves reporters also.......puke!!!!

This had to have come from Milley himself. He thought that he would be heralded by the media, as a hero for standing up to the “great dictator”.

And he’s been right so far, at least for this news cycle. And with the Democrat and deep state machine holding all of the levers of power at the Federal level, who’s to say that he won’t get away with it?

[Sacajaweau]

He had no power to do this and it's a crock. He was still working for Trump, the CIC, at the time.

Once Biden took the Oath of Office, things changed hands...but not one second before.

[central_va]

Where is LT Michael Byrd when you need him?

[frank ballenger]

Isn’t this treason ?

Does the Pope.....

Never mind. The big Lebowski said it already.

[Zathras]

I’ve been saying this for three years.
We are seeing “Seven Days in May” but in real life.

[AnthonySoprano]

.
Biden repeatedly interchanges IRAQ for IRAN and vice-versa.
There are numerous dates and examples of Biden doing this very thing.

However, Biden is Trusted by the woke generals?

[patriot torch]

I don’t see anywhere in the Constitution that gives this rat the authority to usurp the C i C.

So who elected milley and set him in charge of national security decisions?

[frank ballenger]

“Unstable” President Trump?

But what does he think about a semi-coherent Biden and a laughing hyena Harris over serious discussions? That’s just fine? Since when?

[BwanaNdege]

He has the Bronze Star with three Oak Leaf Cluster - no Combat V and the Army Commendation with four Oak Leaf Clusters, again NO Combat V.

I’m not sure about the Army, but a Bronze Start or Commendation or Achievement Medal without Combat-V in the Marine Corps are simply “Attaboy” or “You did a good job” awards for junior officers and enlisted, respectively.

He’s still a TRAITOR, no matter how much Fruit Salad he wears.

[chopperk]

TREASON!

[frank ballenger]

THAT is the insurrection they’ve been trying to cover up!

Let's get Barr and Durham on the case. That's a joke.

We have no honest system of justice for all and no nonpartisan FBI and no hard fighting journalists to break the story. We are sunk.

[Toespi]

President Donald Trump was elected BY THE PEOPLE, once and then twice. DO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MEAN NOTHING TO THESE GODLESS BASTARDS? This man needs to be imprisoned, he is a clear and present danger to this nation.

[mosaicwolf]

"And his position in the Chain of Command is what, exactly???"

He is not in the Chain of Command. All the Chairman does is advise the President (CINC) and communicate his orders to the Combatant Commanders.

[frank ballenger]

Perfectly said.

[SmokingJoe]

Milley should get what Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt, got on July 7, 1865 for treason and conspiracy.

[Salman]

The only source is Woodward, so skepticism is advised.

I think Woodward got it from Hal Holbrook in the parking garage. /smirk

[Gay State Conservative]

Anyone know what General Milley’s pronouns are?

[Kid Shelleen]

I think the nukes bussiness is a red herring. Milley was probably colluding with China on all levels and the only way to save Milley’s pathetic ass is to pretend Trump was Dr. Strangelove.

[LeoWindhorse]

There must be a cost for this treason
