If you're worried the President is going to go full loco, maybe call Congress instead of your buddy in the PLA
I missed the detail that at least one of these unauthorized backchannel conversations between the top US military commander and the head of the PLA was *90 minutes long*. So who else was this guy calling?pic.twitter.com/yHFQ08bkvj
However noble Milley's motives, the man has got to go. They impeached Trump (and more to the point, dismissed MacArthur) for way less than what he did.
The issue here is civilian control of the military. If the Secretary of Defense had called his Chinese counterpart, this would be much less alarming. But we can't have the head of the armed forces YOLO foreign policy and then remain in command. That's banana republic territory.
Twitter is a wonderful place where people can attack the US military for trying to sabotage Biden in Afghanistan and the next day praise the same military for sabotaging Trump. But opinions on fundamental structural issues shouldn't change depending on whose team is in power.
Nobody seems to be running the saner version of this headline, which is that a senior military official entrusted with nuclear weapons deliberately ignored warnings of an incoming attackhttps://www.vox.com/2018/9/26/17905796/nuclear-war-1983-stanislav-petrov-soviet-union …
Thanks that was my take too.
Put in a FOIA for Milley's contact report.
