TWICE!
The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says he thinks US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley had acted “responsibly” after it was reported he called China twice.
Mr Milley reportedly twice called his counterpart in the Chinese dictatorship, General Li Zuocheng to assure him of the ‘stabilisation’ of the American government and claimed he would tell him if America was ever going to attack.
“If Trump ordered an attack on China, and Milley said ‘no, I’m in the chain of command, you can’t do that’, Trump could sack Milley, Milley would be sacked, Trump could restate the order and the order would be carried out,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“So, the most that Milley could do is delay things for maybe 24 hours.
“Milley may not be the greatest bloke in the world, but I think for him simply to say ‘the President seems very unstable, if there’s an order for a military action, it has to go through me as the top soldier’, I’m glad that he did that.”
He circumvented the President of the Untied States….Thats Treason
He needs to resign. If he did this to Trump, imagine what he could do to a cognitively-challenged President like Joe Biden?
Treason. Strip him of rank and throw him in jail.
“Responsibly”??? This is Treason of the highest order. And Trump’s behavior after the election was perfectly reasonable considering we just saw a presidential election blatantly stolen in the night.
Interview a Commie, get Commie Propaganda. Milley committed HIGH TREASON. The US military Chain Of Command cannot be broken.
That’s like Milley calling Hitler and letting him know about D-Day.

Let’s tell our enemies our plans. Sounds like a hell of a plan.
It’s very noticeable that the guest is an anti-Trump troll.
Treasonous behaviour from an individual who was never voted in by the people, no wonder he stuffed the Afganistan “withdrawal.”
Sounds like they wanna do the norm Trump is crazy to distract from their appalling handling of Afghanistan.
Don’t let Milley get away. He needs to be held accountable
If a Chinese general called the US and said he would warn the US of any attacks on Taiwan, the CCP would vanish that general in 5 seconds! And democrats continue to cry about Trump for some odd reason.
Why does Sky bother with Sherridan, he just is so disconnected from reality.
You’ve got to be kidding! Trump’s unpredictability was a large part of his success on the world stage – keeping regimes like the North Koreans and Chinese in line.
This guy being interviewed is nuts. Milley is a traitor…can’t stand the man. Way too big for his britches. He should have resigned. Trump was upset after the election (as were lots of us) but he was never “unhinged”.
This guy, Greg talking about all the back stabbers as models. Why shouldnt Trump of defended the right of every voter for free and fair elections. Greg totally ignoring the obvious voting fraud
Dang! Milley, if what has been reported is true, but remember it’s Woodward, not known for perfect reporting, this is Treason!
Offering comfort and aid to the enemy is a crime last time I checked
Responsibly?! Making deals with a foreign nation?! Warm up the firing squad, live rounds!
Based on what? Greg Sheridan, “Trump never engaged in any wars, he wanted to end wars! Typical liberal nonsense!
A unelected general proactively inserting himself with a foreign advisary to supersede the powers of the elected president is treason… PERIOD.
Wow this is full on, he called the enemy, this is massive, is China running the US?
The only people afraid of trump are the same people that are now the problem.
“Unpredictability” is what dictators fear…can we have more please.
Australia, when you’re force to fly the Chinese flag; would know Biden has succeeded.
