China’s fears of war came amid Trump’s escalating threats, as well as their fear that Trump would start a crisis between the two countries so he could paint himself as a hero who solved it — part of a last-ditch effort to win reelection from Trump as he trailed in the polls. “General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay,” Milley said on the call. “We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.
Milley also gave Li an assurance he would give a heads-up if an attack ever were to take place. “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years,” Milley said. “If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”Milley believed another call was necessary by January 8th, 2021, with less than two weeks remaining in the Trump administration. This call came just two days after the insurrection at the Capitol.
But Milley’s concerns pushed him to do more than just calm Li. According to the book, Milley even called a meeting of senior officers to go over the formal procedures for launching. While the president has the authority to give the order, Milley reminded the officers that he himself needed to be involved. “No matter what you’re told, you do the procedure. You do the process,” he said. “And I’m part of that procedure. You’ve got to make sure that the right people are on the net.
In fact, Milley was so worried about a nuclear attack, he looked each of the officers in the eye and asked them to indicate their agreement, which Milley took as each swearing an “oath.”Nancy Pelosi“What I’m saying to you is that if they couldn’t even stop him from an assault on the Capitol, who even knows what else he may do?” Pelosi said.
