Bob Woodward: Milley's Call with China was Made ‘in the Interest of Protecting the Country'

[Townhall] The Washington Post's Bob Woodward claimed that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley's calls to his Chinese counterpart in the final months of the Trump presidency were made "in the interest of protecting the country."

Last week, Woodward and his colleague Robert Costa released an excerpt from their upcoming book, "Peril," that detailed two secret calls, one on Oct. 30 and another on Jan. 8, that were made to Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, where Milley allegedly ensured China that the U.S. would not strike and that he would give them a heads up in the event that an attack was planned by former President Donald Trump, who was not made aware of the calls.

Woodward, during a Monday appearance on MSNBC’s "The Last Word," suggested that Milley’s calls to Li were justified because "sensitive intelligence" showed that, in the days leading up to the 2020 election, the Chinese believed the U.S. was "going to launch an attack on them."

#2 But what if Milley is the lunatic and someone should be protecting America from him.

#4 Isn't that what all coups say? "We did it to PROTECT the nation!".

Without a shred of evidence that there was any danger of Trump doing what they claim he would do. They (Milley and his cohorts) took control of the military out of civilian hands. That Milley would do so on such lack of evidence says much about him and his intentions.

#7 So it would be OK if Milley discussed Biden's mental condition with General Li?

General Milley, I have been studying American idioms. So far I know: "around the bend", "lost his marbles", and "out to lunch".

#8 ^-- who says Gen. Milley doesn't? At this point I wouldn't be surprised at Gen Milley obeying commands from the PLA - without question.

#9 /\ Well Milley certainly doesn't wish to provoke the Chinese.
