If Biden decided to attack China that Milley would call the Chinese and warn them of approaching attack?

Ummmmm.......................... telling China he would contact them if we were going to use military force against them is EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

Cleary, Milley's loyalties are to the dem party and the CCP, not the United States or the US military.

When someone is crazy enough to say that "white supremacy" is more of a threat than the CCP, they have no place in the military.

The CIA Director, NSC Director, Secretary of State, Speaker of the House, and many others agreed at the time that he should make the call, so he did.

The real scandal here is that we had a president who was so off the rails that he nearly caused WWIII just because of his stupidity. Where’s your outrage over that?

THINK ABOUT THIS, if Miley hadn’t made that call, we’d probably all be dead right now. Chew on that.
There are some big holes in your story above:

Milley defends calls to China as effort to avoid conflict

He called several countries to say everything was fine. So it was not just some panicked call to China. Calling world leaders after what happened Jan 6th is not what I have issues with.

Milley spoke with a number of other military leaders around the world after the Jan. 6 riot, including from the United Kingdom, Russia and Pakistan. A readout of those calls in January referred to “several†other counterparts that he spoke to with similar messages of reassurance that the U.S. government was strong and in control.

However he actually did not little to reassure China:

The second call was meant to placate Chinese fears about the events of Jan. 6. But the book reports that Li wasn’t as easily assuaged, even after Milley promised him: “We are 100 percent steady. Everything’s fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes.â€

So if he was trying to stop WW3 he did not move the needle with China. And if we were on the brink of WW3 the SOS and Defense secretary were senior to him. Why was Trump out of the loop. You are claiming Trump was accidentally triggering WW3 with his comments. He could have called Xi and calmed things down. If you want to stave off the end of the world. Why does someone much lower down in command make this call? Why was not the SOS or the Defense Secretary making this call? Perhaps it was just him who went rogue and panicked. He tells Pelosi who probably was giddy over him doing this.

But my big issue is this:

“If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise,†Milley reportedly said.

If he did say that, its treason. I don't see any wiggle room there at all. It certainly would not avert war. What if Trump at the last moment changed his mind? The call was made. It would guarantee WW3 and give China a head start. But Trump had no intention of starting a war with China. Putting China's interests over the USA which he swore to defend is treason.

As long as he doesn't commit treason under a Democrat President

What if he decides President Biden is incompetent and goes around him? Would Democrats still support his treasonous behavior, then?

Would Milley reveal the US defense plan for Taiwan, dooming thousands of US military men to their deaths and assuring a tragic defeat? Who gets to decide what information to give to the enemy and under what circumstances? Milley apparently feels very comfortable with putting the lives of US servicemen and those of US citizens in jeopardy to satisfy his political agenda. Why is he not a part of the CCP Army then, instead of the US, as his loyalties are clearly not with the US?

Milley cannot be trusted in the US military, as he clearly does not understand that his actions are illegal and put the entire nation in jeopardy, simply over his political anxieties.

We have THREE MADMEN AT THE HELM OF THE US NOW- BIDEN, MILLEY, AND PELOSI who clearly have the best interest of the CCP in mind, rather than the safety and defense of the US.

Dems have now come out and openly commit treason
, then approve of it at a presidential and congressional level. We are no longer governed by the rule of law, but oligarchs who feel they are above the law.


Uh, the treason was allegedly committed during a Republican administration. Claiming otherwise is Fake News!, the favorite phony-baloney allegation of that administration.

I never said it's ok.

But there's a huge gap between what the guy committed and what this thread is accusing him of committing.
