For years, under presidents of both parties, national security officials kept lines of communication to their counterparts in the Soviet Union, now Russia, and China — to avert miscalculations that could provoke war. Milley continued that tradition.

We already knew how desperately worried Milley was about a coup in Trump’s final days from another recent book by Washinton Post reporters Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker. “This is a Reichstag moment,” Milley reportedly warned his subordinates. “They may try, but they’re not going to f— succeed.”

Upcoming book reports Gen. Milley worried Trump might start a war with China in final monthsAn upcoming book by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa reports that General Mark Milley was concerned during former President Trump's final months in office that he might start a war with China, and went so far as to contact his Chinese counterpart in secret to assuage their concerns.

In January 2021 I tweeted TFG was willing to do anything to stay POTUS. Now he's willing to do anything to become POTUS again. Patriotic Americans should never let that happen.
