Retired Army colonel Douglas Macgregor told 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' that if allegations Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley assured China he would warn them if Trump were to launch a military strike, it would be a violation of the law.

"That does not mean he has to leave the armed forces, it means he leaves his position and someone else can be brought in. That is what you do if you feel strongly that you are dealing with someone you cannot support," Macgregor said of Milley, who has been in the military since 1980.

"On the other hand, we know for a fact that he was speaking in a capacity, I guess, as a political partisan to the leaders of the other party," Carlson added, noting Woodward and Costa reported that the general – while not informing Trump of his alleged contact with General Li – had spoken to Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

… but he may have avoided a NUCLEAR WAR ! What’s your choice ?

Milley must be arrested immediately. He launched a military coup. He is a Chinese spy. He provides intelligence to the Chinese government on the US military. He is loyal to the Chinese government!

who cares

Does he have the authority to use the army to clear a park for a photo-op or storm the Capitol?

Why would we warn them? That doesn't make much sense.

Yes

This guy would have called japan in 1945 ?! US armed forces are in deep S**T

If Trump runs again they don't realise how bad this looks for him. His generals don't trust him with the nukes. Who could elect anyone who can't be trusted like that

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. Michael Schmidt, Phil Rucker, and Admiral James Stavridis join Andrea Mitchell to discuss that and other revelations from the book. The only surprise is that it wasn't his first months in office. 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.
