Worried Trump could 'go rogue' Milley took top-secret action to protect nukes

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

The military works by carrying out the "lawful" orders of their commanders, and the commander-in-chief.

They are duty bound to refuse to carry out "illegal" orders. Knowing that Trump as commanmder-in-chief gave an order while in consultation with his military and civilian advisors, would give them confidence the order was lawful.

Knowing the president did not consult any of his advisors, before ordering an unprovoked action could be an unlawful order.

When Can a Soldier Refuse an Order? - Civil Service HQ

And as we learned throughout this article, any member of the armed force is allowed to refuse a direct order if he/she considers it to be “unlawful” or illegal.

That isn't how orders are determined to be lawful, or unlawful. The president isn't required to ask permission from anyone to take military action.

China is not a hostile country. The Taliban are a hostile force against us, and Trump negotiated with terrorists.

China is absolutely a hostile country.

Milley endangered the country with his treason.

China was listening to trump talk about the "China Virus" and saw his mob attack the US Capitol on January 6th. Yes, China was on edge, thinking that the MAGA mob may take over the US government. Milley did exactly what he should have done....warding off a potential China attack to control a crazy man in the White House.

Did Trump try to launch nukes on China? No? Milley broke the law. Plain and simple.

His actions concerning an attack on an adversary or use of nuclear weapons have to go through a process. Milley was reassuring the need for that process to be taken. He had a fear that trump would unilaterally decide to start a war or use nukes. He was not alone.

Milley isn't part of that process. Trump can't unilaterally launch nukes. It takes two people to launch. Everyone knows that.

Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes. She was the American people's choice. Trump won the EC, not the people.

EC picks the president, not popular vote. We are not a democracy.

Trump was a danger to criminals. That was the motivation the DNC tried to sweep him under the doghouse bus, which boomeranged because all tbey got out of it was fleas nobody wants to get close to that buncha doghouse donkeys in the House.

The reporting by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa is further confirmation that the American people were correct to vote Trump out of office – angered by his election loss, deranged and out of control, Trump was capable of doing anything.

General Milley took lawful, Constitutional steps to ensure Trump did not destroy America.

Show us where the Constitution gives Milley this authority. I can't wait.

So Milley single handedly staged a military coup, and you think that's good? It's actually illegal and he needs to be tried, if this is true.

Of course he thinks it was a good thing, because Orange Man Bad.

Constitutionally yes, but in the real world the military, and intelligence community are the first to know that America faces a danger that might require military action. They're the one's watching the big board, and anticipating the president to order a response.

In the case with Milley, if the president orders a military or nuclear strike the military and intelligence community knew didn't come from them, they wanted to ensure the president at least consulted them with the reason. So they could determine of the order was legal.

Milley never learned that "lose lips sinks ships".

 

[meaner gene]

Did Trump try to launch nukes on China? No? Milley broke the law. Plain and simple.

Which means Milley never interfered.

If he had done this for the Soviets during the height of the previous cold war he would have been executed by firing squad.

The new cold war with China? Nah that's OK. After all the Chinese owns his boss.

If a president orders an attack, it's lawful. He doesn't have to ask permission; anyone's permission.

Actually, he did. He conspired to overthrow a sitting president.

The Chicoms obviously own Milley, too.

I think GEN Patton would refer to him as a disloyal son of a bitch. I could be wrong, but am probably not.

If this happened to Obama they'd be howling. It's all TDS all the time, no regard to the actual situation. Very sad.

IOW Pelosi abused her power day and night to do a number on the American people's enthusiastic choice for the Donald at the polls.

Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes. She was the American people's choice. Trump won the EC, not the people.

EC picks the president, not popular vote. We are not a democracy.

I said that, Beautress claimed Trump won the popular vote.
