Wow. Do you have as hard a time telling what day of the week it is as you do telling what which month is October?

No, sonny, do you?

Trump: 'Nutjob' Milley never told me of calls to Chinese general

2 days ago — Meanwhile, Christopher Miller, who served as acting secretary of defense between the 2020 presidential election and Biden's inauguration

Trump: ‘Nutjob’ Milley never told me of calls to Chinese general.'

Trump: “Milley never told me about calls being made to China,” Trump said in an emailed statement from his Save America PAC. “From what I understand, he didn’t tell too many other people either. He put our Country in a very dangerous position but [Chinese] President Xi [Jinping] knows better, and would’ve called me.”

[Jarod]

He informed the Chinese that we would tell them BEFORE we start bombing.

That is not his decision to make. Do you think President Trump would have approved that decision. Milley jumped the chain of command.

Either up your game or I will stop posting to you.

Good grief.

Ok, how is telling them that against the law or orders or even policy? Its just a trick to keep them calm.

See post no. 32.

Esper is in the chain of command.

Milley wasn't and isn't. He was and is in a staff position as an advisor. He shouldn't have been doing anything with any foreign military especially making deals about telling them what the US was or wasn't doing politically and diplomatically.

he gave Xi a head's up about Trump's total instability and psychotic tantrums........better a phone call than WWIII dimwit

[reagansghost]

the nation is thrilled to have a man of Milley's character and sobriety to serve THEM, not some criminal psychopath that a bunch of hicks plus Putin installed.... people can rest assured a doped up maniac like Trump can't start a World War while they're asleep at night. God bless General Milley

[Hawkeye10]

He thought he'd make his enemy trump look bad by telling america about how even General Milley considered trump dangerous. But it's backfired. He instead made the military brass look bad by showing how many of them are woke america-hating traitors working with china. HAHAHA

This is a great window into how treasonous and out of touch our elites are....Woodward is very well connected but all he knows I think are the siloed Coastal Elites, the members of his class.....he is completely ignorant about what the rest of America is.... thus the miscalculation.

We have been betrayed by our leaders.

[dukkha]

Do you mean like the Sec of Defense that was on the first call to China?

Miller denies he gave permission or knew of it

[T. A. Gardner]

And, that was illegal under our Constitution, the UCMJ, and federal law. A general has no--NO--authority to be conducting diplomacy of any sort with the government of a foreign power. It doesn't matter one iota if Trump were completely sane or insane, Milley had no authority to do what he did--NONE.

please tell me this is a joke post

Keeping in mind that people lie all the time this deeply into this next dark age.

Actually, all the polling and other stuff on this incident says exactly the opposite of that. Most Americans think Milley should resign immediately or be fired. A majority think his actions were chargable as a crime. You are in a distinct minority here.

true but he has no ox to gore in this. Esper is Swampish

no it's not illegal, any member in uniform can disobey an order if he deems it illegal

Service members of the United States Armed Forces are required to disobey orders that violate the law. As retired Marine Corps General John Allen recently said: “When we swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution…one of those is to ensure that we do not obey illegal orders.” While the Uniform Code of Military Justice demands obedience to the lawful orders of a superior commissioned officer, it equally demands disobedience when the order given is illegal. Military leaders such as Lieutenant General Sean MacFarland have spoken out to reaffirm that the U.S. military will not commit war crimes: “We are bound by the laws of armed conflict. And you know at the end of the day, it doesn't only matter if you win, it matters how you win.” Both international and domestic courts have a robust history of convicting service members who carried out unlawful orders. When former Nazis claimed to have just been following orders, this defense was unequivocally rejected during the Nuremberg trials.
