The general doesn't have the authority to undercut the president that way. That's the bottom line, and you know very well that any general doing that to Quid Pro would have you clutching your pearls, screeching about "TREASON".If a war with China wasn't in the offing, what are you guys so upset about.
Let's review what happened here. The Chinese looked at Trump's erratic behavior in the last few months and started panicking that he might try to launch an attack....
Milley called up his counterpart and said, "Look, guy, you have sattelites and sensors, you would know if we launched an attack".

1. It's glaringly obvious that you would have a hissy fit if a general did this to Quid Pro Joe. Don't even pretend you wouldn't.By that logic, the German officers like von Staufenburg who tried to overthrow Hitler were guilty of "Treason". Schindler was guilty of "Treason".
Let's get real here, if Trump wasn't trying to start a war with China, then Milley wasn't undercutting him. If Trump was trying to start a war with China, Milley is a NATIONAL HERO!!!!!
1. It's glaringly obvious that you would have a hissy fit if a general did this to Quid Pro Joe. Don't even pretend you wouldn't.
2. It's glaringly obvious that TRUMP! had no intention of starting a shooting war with China. That's stupid to even think. In fact, he was the first president since Carter to initiate no new hostilities.
3. Was Milley acting under the auspices of the State Department and thus acting as TRUMP!'s proxy? If not, then he was undercutting the president's authority to conduct foreign policy and should face consequences for doing so.
Again, you guys seem terribly upset that Milley prevented Trump from starting a war... this is what a cult looks like, people.4. Was Milley acting at TRUMP!'s command to assure the Chinese military that we would notify them before we attacked them? If not, then he was undercutting the president's authority to conduct foreign policy and should face consequences for doing so.
There really is no way around this, the general (assuming what we've been hearing is all true) exceeded his authority, and the military has policies and procedures to deal with things like that. He cannot be trusted to remain in the chain of command.
1. No, it would not depend on the circumstances. You would be livid if a general undercut Quid Pro like that.It would entirely depend on the circumstances, wouldn't it? Biden isn't a crazy person who was openly trying to undermine the constitution like Trump was.
Actually, what I saw in the last four years is that Trump was capable of anything. This is a guy who nearly started a war with Iran by assassinating an Iranian official. If he didn't start a war, it wasn't for a lack of trying.
Again, our military leaders communicate with their Russian and Chinese counterparts and have for decades. There's really nothing to see here.
Again, you guys seem terribly upset that Milley prevented Trump from starting a war... this is what a cult looks like, people.
Actually, what he did was just fine... The real failure is someone as unfit for office as Trump was forced this situation.
3. Our military leaders have no authority to assure a foreign power behind the president's back that we will notify them before attacking. That is ludicrous to believe.
No.You are just kind of repeating yourself, so I'm not going to waste a lot of time... but this one.

Actually, it's not what Milley said, what Milley said was that we wouldn't be able to launch a sneak attack without the Chinese knowing, and he was right. Calm down, we aren't going to attack you, let's not get into a shooting war because some pilot has an itchy trigger finger. This is actually a good thing.
If you had told me in December that Trump would instigate an armed assault on the capitol, I probably would have called you crazy.
But that's exactly what he did, isn't it?
The fact that they started the riot while he was still talking kind of destroys the whole narrative, but hey, Orange Man Bad, right? Just be sure to let us know when someone is charged with insurrection or sedition. You know, something like that.No, a mob of Trump supporters just happened to storm the capitol while Trump was screaming about stolen elections and marching down on the Capitol...
Okay, live in your fantasy, world, buddy.

Milley doesn't understand what America is. He belongs in jail, not in politics. This country would have never existed if we depended on assholes like Milley in the Revolutionary War.
You become just another spin monkey and lose all credibility when you say "Bleach drinking crazies".In the Revolutionary War, opposing Generals communicated with each other all the time...
I would hope this is something we would do in peacetime to actually avoid a war.
Again, this is the level of Bleach-Drinking Crazy of the Trump Cult. They are disappointed that Milley prevented Trump from Staring World War III with China.
You become just another spin monkey and lose all credibility when you say "Bleach drinking crazies".
Keep pretending Milley stopped something.No, it really doesn't. But you guys keep living in your fantasy world where Trump's actions on January 6th were okay... and Milley was a bad man for stopping World War III.
Keep pretending Milley stopped something.
He wasn't authorized to conduct foreign policy without the president's knowledge or permission. Remember when your ilk got all upset that Rudy G contacted a foreign leader?If Trump wasn't going to start something, then there was nothing wrong with what Milley did.

And, since TRUMP! had no intention of starting a shooting war with China, Milley was WAAAAY out of line to do what he's accused of doing.
