Washington Post: Gen. Mark Milley Made Secret Calls To His Chinese Counterpart Because He Thought Trump Was Crazy

I called it in my League speech.

The fat ass general who compared Blumpf to Adolf Hitler and his supporters to the Nazis and the Capitol Siege to the Reichstag Fire not only subverted civilian authority and the chain of command to thwart the withdrawal from Afghanistan and any crackdown on the BLM riots, but entered into secret negotiations with his Chinese counterpart. He went so far as to vow to give China advanced warning of an impending American attack. He effectively launched a coup against the president.

Washington Post:

“Twice in the final months of the Trump administration, the country’s top military officer was so fearful that the president’s actions might spark a war with China that he moved urgently to avert armed conflict.

In a pair of secret phone calls, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, that the United States would not strike, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa. …

“General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay,” Milley told him. “We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.”In the book’s account, Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel. “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.” …”

There you have it.

This is the ultimate warning of where imperialism and militarism inevitably leads.

  1. Benedict Milley should not resign, that is too easy. He should be arrested, charged with sedition and be dishonorably discharged but we all know that will never happen. The Republicans will hem and haw but in the end , they will do nothing.

    • Guillotines would be better than hanging for these bastards. The Taliban would approve. Show some diplomatic good will by arresting and executing these traitors for War Crimes.

    • What’s he ‘guilty’ of, in the end? We all know Trump would only have attacked China if some filthy jew told him to. His actions to protect Americans from the actions of the jews and their puppet are morally neutral at worst.

      • @Morris – And we all know Milley would do the SAME if some “filthy jew” or jew puppet like Biden told him to.

    • That’s right. Nothing will be done against that filthy, wide-open traitor cuz Muh Military Hee-roes ‘n’ Muh MIC.

      See the loaded mitigating language the media kikes use: Milley was “so fearful” that he “moved urgently to avert armed conflict.”

    • At the moment, progressives pull the strings and when brats want replace entire military command with their people then Afghanistan and now this gives them perfect cause.

  4. This treachery is one effect from all the slobbering over these generals for years now, they think they are untouchable. They suffer from hubris, believing they can get away with anything. When there is a real military defeat such as Tsushima (1905), Kasserine Pass (1942), The Philippines (1942), Guam and Wake Island (1942), Singapore (1942), Dunkirk (1941), Stalingrad (1943), Inchon (1950, N. Korea), Chosin Reservoir (1950) etc. there will be real political consequences, always unpleasant for those in charge. Just ask Gen. MacArthur.

    Afghanistan and Vietnam weren’t defeats. No enemy ever dictated terms or stopped U.S. forces from going where they wanted, whenever they wanted. It was the same for the USSR in Afghanistan. The Taliban never dictated terms to the USSR and its military couldn’t be defeated, they left when they wanted, as they wanted.

    The political leaders in both the USSR and the U.S. decided for domestic economic and political reasons in Afghanistan and Vietnam the wars were too much of a liability and ended them on their terms, not enemy terms. If one doubts this compare and contrast to WWI and WWII when enemy combatants were forced to agree to allied terms after devastating defeats. Germany was simply overrun in WWII, Japan was nuked twice, facing invasion and probably extermination so wisely decided to surrender according to Allied terms.

    Defeat brings with it profound changes leading to the fall of those who ruled before and during the defeats and the rise of new political orders in the wake of these defeats. This is what happened on a grand scale after WWI with end of Imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary, the rise of the USSR from the ashes of Imperial Russia’s defeat and new nations arising throughout Central and Eastern Europe. WWII divided Germany for decades, left the USSR menacing Europe and led to the rise of the U.S. as a superpower.

    Nothing remotely equivalent happened in Vietnam or Afghanistan. The USSR was a ramshackle empire on the way out. With the rapid decline in oil prices in the early 1980’s wrecking their economy combined with the internal contradictions of communism the USSR’s day were numbered. The U.S. rebounded (temporarily) in the 1980’s and 1990’s with the fall of communism, an historic opportunity squandered once again by the geniuses in charge of things.

    The U.S. ruling class is risking its downfall by by antagonizing China over Taiwan. There were many chances for a Grand Bargain regarding Taiwan and ending Chinese support for N. Korea along the lines of the British withdrawal from HK but all of them were squandered. Now, with China in a much stronger position and the U.S. weakened by decades of bad policies, corruption and gross incompetence the U.S. Government chooses to escalate its antagonism of China. If there is a real defeat of the U.S. over Taiwan it will be the end of the venal regime in Washington and not just Dementia Joe and Cackling Kamala either.

    • Military defeat occurs when a belligerent is prevented from accomplishing its goals. The Taliban prevented the US from accomplishing its main goal in Afghanistan, which was the maintenance of a zio-femi-anal “democracy”. Therefore, the Taliban won and the US lost.

      You and others of like mind can keep telling yourselves that the US didn’t lose and is invincible. That will make it easier for the military-industrial to get the country into the next exorbitantly expensive misadventure. I’m sure one a bigger one than Afghanistan is already in the planning stages.

  5. General Milley and Donald Trump are both on the same page on the demographic issue:import China’s youth population so they can completely nullify the vote of the Native White Working Class Male Population on Nov 3 2024…we are talking about Trump’s core voting bloc…

    To the extent that General Milley prevented nuclear WW3…I support General Milley on this point…Tucker Carlson can go fuck himself…

    • He didn’t “prevent WW3”. He’s a kiss-ass, incompetent traitor. As Ramzpaul remarked, how do you think China would act if their top general called us and said he’d warn us in advance of any attack? So in the even of such an attack (which I don’t believe Trump ever had any intention of initiating) more American lives would be lost?

  6. WTF did trump do that made him think Trump was going to do a sneak attack on China?

    Almost all of his policies were little more than re-skins of what Obama had been doing for the previous eight years before him except with much less polite language.

    This is the best example I’ve ever seen yet of just how threatened the establishment and it’s self important quest to control everything felt when a civilian authority refused to be cowed by them.

    • I think this entire story is cooked up. I don’t think Drumpf was anywhere near bombing China, and I don’t think that Milley the drunk loudmouth Mick made a secret phone call either.

      • O’Reily had a podcast yesterday where he said this is conjecture and in the 6th instance Milley was just doing his job to reassure other nuclear powers that the situation was stable here after what the saw on TV. To me the thing that is not OK was the allegations Milley told them he’d INFORM them BEFORE an attack, if true he should be fired. My question is where was the worry in the Pentagon for the last few decades as other leaders sold out our nation’s industry to China, let us be replaced by foreigners, and taught our children wicked lies? For all his impulsive personality and narcissistic faults at least Trump’s heart was in the right place, why all the hate for him and not the really evil traitors? There’s be nothing wrong with a pentagon takeover like what happened in Chile or Burma to restore the civil society we had in the mid 20th century, or even as last as 2007 when things still weren’t that bad. But seems the pentagon is yet another puppet of our media elites.

  7. Remember what Obama did when McChrystal forgot who signs his paycheck? Good on Obama. Military are too entitled and think the rules don’t apply to them.
    Biden should can Milley (useful fall guy for Afghan debacle, too) & even prosecute for treason.

  8. But of course there otherwise was no attempt to prevent Trump from either exercising his lawful authority as President or to prevent his reelection by unlawful means. Lawlessness against your enemies always blows back into lawlessness against yourself. You denied there was any attempt to rig the election against Trump. I told you if they would abuse their authority in policy matters they would do so in weightier matters. There needs to be another march on Washington D. C. , only this time for real. As in a change in government. Let them get away with it and they will eventually terminate our existence.

  9. He did the right thing, fuck having the American people killed for billionaires.
    Imagine doing a coup against ZOG, and all the Wignats are mad.

    This is exactly why circumcised = Jew and Amerimutts can’t be trusted.
    Nothing more to say, for all their Aryan larping they’re untermenschen||

    ?????????????????????????????????

    • Very true. I went and voted for Hitler in 2016 and all I got to show for it was a retarded, bloviating boomer con-man. He was a worse Hitler even than the stoner featured in the fake broadway show Springtime for Hitler (and Germany). Even a cat with a Hitler mustache is a better Hitler.

  11. Treason is just another day at the office for leftists. Did anyone really expect anything less? Voat Moar Harder goyims….

  12. No. 74 million people consider Trump to have been the valid winner in the last presidential election. Milley is a traitor. He must hang.
    He is a Judas.

    • No argument Fr. John but who would do this? The Marines in high-heels?? Sailors from the Pink Fleet? BTW, this is by no means the first outrage of treason. Back in the 1990s, Beelzebubba Clinton allowed (((Bernard Schwartz))) of Loral, Inc. to transfer the tech for multiple-warhead nukes to the Chinese regime. That was treason for which Beelzebubba should have been impeached and removed, followed by trial and execution for same, along with (((Schwartz))) and all other participants. Instead we got the impeachment from Palmetto Princess of SC (Miss Lindsay) and others of the Gay Old Pedobears over Monica Lewinsky getting to fellate Beelzebubba instead of themselves.

  13. I’ve mentioned that Neville Chamberlain was effectively the victim of a coup against him by senior generals and reservists who were also sitting MPs. The only reason Milley is getting called out right now is that Biden’s folk want him gone.

  15. The Irish love power. They love pointing a gun at us and telling us what to do. That is why so many of them are in law enforcement and the military. And that is why the Jews love them to do their bidding. We got an Irish problem here folks. You deal with this filth in your own backyard and everything is going to be coming up roses.

  16. Geez, I wonder if he seems equally disturbed about this senile old coot frontman for marxist destruction of the United States? I am waffling as to how much of the destruction going on is caused by Incompetence, Elite subversion and hatred of traditional America, and how much of it is outright ordered by the Chinese and implemented by blackmailed and coopted members of the DC regime?

  17. He is not the first renegade general. MacArthur was insubordinate, but Truman had the courage to fire him. In Clinton’s war on Serbia, the generals slow-walked his order to provide our NATO allies with logistical support, claiming they couldn’t find landing sites for helicopters. Again, they flatly refused Trump’s order to reduce troop levels in Syria, and lied to him about troop dispositions.

    Eisenhower was the last President to have control over the military and intelligence agencies. But then, both bureaucracies were less entrenched, and all the leaders had served under him in WW II.

  18. Highly symbolic high treason coinciding with the removal of the Robert E. Lee (America’s greatest martial hero) statue.

  20. Totally illegal what he did, but the Constitution is now null and void, so he will likely not be held to account.

  21. Milley claimed the 1-6 protesters were trying to overthrow the government of the United States. But, in going around the lawful chain of command, Milley effectively subverted the normal operation of government.

    Keeping Milley on and failing to investigate these charges spits in the face of every man and woman serving in the military. In keeping Milley on, Biden declares the rule of law in the United States is dead.

    Fuck Joe Biden. Fuck General Milley. Fuck everyone in Biden’s administration, and fuck everyone who helped to put him in power.

  23. It looks like TPTB have chosen to throw Miley under the bus. Of course, Woodward may have lied, and this is supposed to be America and even the moronic Miley should be held innocent until proven guilty. One way to discover if there is any truth to this is to find out if he or especially any of Miley’s relatives have very lucrative business deals in China.

    Of course, that would point the same finger at every political legislator and bureaucrat, every politician in Washington and, probably all over the country. It is impossible to get that high in rank unless you are an adroit politician with lots of connections.

    China knew what Israel and its diaspora figured out a long time ago; the United States has the best politicians money can buy.

    As for all this crap about ensuring Taiwan’s defense from China; that isn’t necessary. I believe that China will simply amass more power, wealth and prestige as it becomes the dominant power and Taiwan will voluntarily reunite with China, especially if China picks up Indochina and even Japan and the two Koreas as Chinese satellites.
