He should have contacted Pence, The Speaker of the House or the Senate leader or Secretary of State. That is not his position to alert the enemy about the stability of the President. Who the fuck does he think he is? We are a democracy not a military run country. And after his cluster fuck in Afghanistan who the fuck is this guy.
I would have no problem with Nancy or Chuck with Pence reassuring China and Russia. That’s how democracy works.
This is no defense of Trump but Milley should be arrested for treason.

No guarantee that anything Woodward writes is actually the truth - versus what the power players he interviews want to promote as the truth…so someone needs to get to the bottom of this.
Articles imply that he was relying on intelligence that said certain players in China were nervous about a US attack. Is he equipped to decide if this intelligence is accurate? Is he authorized to essentially blow the source of the intelligence (intercepts, humans, whatever) by telling the Chinese we know what they are thinking? How did he know this was not a ruse by China?
And, most fundamentally, does a military officer have the right to go outside the chain of command to give comfort to an adversary? He had not received any unlawful orders, apparently.
This is a very troubling situation.
The entire country needs to let that sink in.

It's not like he was a Chinese operative.

Who doesn't understand the chain of command?
This is my fault. I sometimes respond seriously to your uninformed sputum. What do I expect.
You not bothered that a military leader should call an enemy to discuss his President. We’re you around during the Vietnam war? Your just protecting your own. Political basis is your life. What if Milley started talking to other military leaders telling them that Biden is a feeble old man? Is that ok with you?

their cluster fuck in Afghanistan.
Milley swore an oath to the Constitution, not to Trump.
We had an unstable psycho in the Oval Office. Thank God for people manning the guardrails.

Milley did not contravene any orders. He prepared to...but never needed to.
If Trump had ordered a nuclear strike and Milley intervened to stop it, then he you might have a point. It never came to that.
Also: If Milley had stopped a nuclear strike, he would have been right to do so, full stop. Google "Stanislav Petrov."

me off about you and Frank? You know Milley should not have called China directly and yet you defend him. You are both political hacks not willing to admit it.

You blame Milley that you voted in such a crazy dickhead that these guys in China thought he was going to do so?

The name calling just makes you look like an ass.
if you believe that Milley had the authority to call an enemy without Presidential or permission from the Vice President or Speaker of the House means you don’t understand the constitution and makes your ability as a lawyer appear stupid. Unless you don’t understand the chain of command. Than you’re just naive. Either way. It’s not good for your clients because your bias interferes with you ability.
I would say that that claiming the Joint Chiefs Chairman should have gone to the VP or SOTH shows you know zero about chain of command. I would also say that’s stupid except it would be name calling which is what you do.
has lost his mind would that be alright with you? By the way, Trump was a total nut job but Biden could launch a nuclear attack thinking he was flushing the toilet. You have no balance in your life you are all in with the Trump haters which conveniently makes you just like them. It’s sad to waste a mind on such bias. But you think Milley did the right think with China? Was walking to St John’s with you hated President alright can you call that into doubt?

Democracy. Cut the political I hate Trump shit.
and reassured the Chinese that the stable genius wasn’t gonna start WWIII which apparently they thought he was gonna do.
He did the nation a service. You people did it a disservice for voting that arsehole in and putting him in the position to have to do those things.
authority to do so. Just accept the fact.
wasn’t gonna start a world war that the Chinese thought he would. That’s not treason it’s a service to the nation.
