    Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'


    "Peril" is based on more than 200 interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses, and it paints a chilling picture of Trump's final days in office. The book, Woodward's third on the Trump presidency, recounts behind-the-scenes moments of a commander in chief unhinged and explosive, yelling at senior advisers and aides as he desperately sought to cling to power.

    Remember trump's first days when the mantra was 'give him a chance' ?

    Then it was 'establishment Republicans in his cabinet will act as guard rails'.


    One by one, they were all Tweetfired and replaced by incompetent 'yes' men/women.

    In the end, there were no guardrails. On his last day in office, trump was still installing incompetent moles throughout our govt./defense dept..


    Milley has seen presidents come and go. He recognized that this one was dangerous.

    He did what was necessary.

    Sad that it didn't entail neutralizing the enemy.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Milley is a worse traitor than Benedict Arnold, and you just yanked on his penis. Dumbass.

    Watch

    That should scare the hell out of you. Whether Milley is telling the truth or not, a general, any general should not go behind his Commander-in-Chief or superior officer and knowingly disobey orders while keeping it a secret. If the superior is giving dangerous or illegal orders, one should go through the chain of command and make it aware of the problem.

    Milley acted in a rogue and dangerous manner here. He assumed Trump would do something or another, without actually being given those orders and worked against the Commander-in-Chief and chain of command. He's a dangerously incompetent officer and should be fired out-of-hand for his admitted actions.

    Miley was reassuring China that Trump is a stupid nutball, but he would not send nuclear bombs on china

    Why in the hell would a US general, any general, be calling a foreign power's government and doing what amounts to diplomacy with them? Milley is a huge danger to the US and should be fired immediately.

    The risk is [Milley] could have caused the Chinese to miscalculate and take some sort of diplomatic, economic or military action with far ranging consequences, because he was giving the wrong signal, having no understanding of the context in which he was making the call." 3/3
    it's not just sedition -Milley was undermining US policy and downplaying any response ("attack")
    by the US for any potential Chinese minerals/land grabs

    We push very hard against their air defensive identification zone (ADIZ).
    Milley undermined it as well as taking pressure of China's 9- dash line
    he gave aid and comfort to the enemy

    That is in direct violation of the UCMJ and Miley's oath of office. He should be court martialed for his treasonous actions. It is not a general's place to be conducting diplomacy with foreign nations for any reason.
