GENERAL MILEY'S PHONE CALLS TO CHINA: UNDERSCORES THE LEVEL OF SABOTAGE TRUMP FACED IN OFFICE.

ICHEOKU says put partisan politics aside, what the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs did was indeed condemnable and tantamount to taking side with the enemy. He has lost his honor and no longer possess the dignity and integrity to continue in office. If Marine Commander Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller was relieved of his duties and thrown out from the Marine for questioning the Afghanistan inept withdrawal, why is General Mark A. Milley still holding his position as Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs. Why has he not yet been shown the way out after such a betrayal and outright undermine of his then Commander in Chief. Is it because it was President Donald John Trump and that everybody in Washington DC was incohoot in sabotaging his administration? It should be about the office and as commander in chief of the armed forces and the subordinate position of the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff; and every effort should be made to sustain this hierarchy of authority.

Joe Biden should relieve him of his duties immediately as any military chief who is capable of undermining his commander in chief is not worthy of holding the office which he occupies. It is an office which demands absolute loyalty, from a trustworthy and patriotic Chief who would carry out the orders of his commander in chief without question and with total professionalism. But for a Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs to conspire with an apparent potential enemy of the United States of America and assure them that he will tip them off any time there was an order to strike, is not only treasonous but he put the men and women in uniform in more dangerous position. Not once, but twice and probably on more occasions than he admitted and you wonder what China's read of America's military readiness is when America's Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff is the one directly cooperating with them, the enemy, to sabotage America.

It is a bad precedent to allow him to continue to stay in the office as a similar thing could happen in the future with a democrat president and a chief of army staff who despises him so much to the extent that he is will to sabotage his duties as commander in chief. If it was a lowly ranked officer that did this, may be he or she would have since been dismissed and thrown out of the service. But for a Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs, it makes it absolutely intolerable and unpardonable that a military court martial should be appropriate. It should not be treated with levity just because it was President Donald John Trump, we should weigh the gravity of what was done based on acceptable and tolerable practice; and what message it sent to America's adversaries all over the world that an American highest military chief could actively undermine the president and commander in chief. 

If he admitted to this much, imagine what other things he is not saying or probably might have done which jeopardized America's defense and fighting capabilities, leading to the high casualties suffered in the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a very serious charge that an American Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs confided in his Chinese counterpart that he was going to tip off the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army any time the president and commander in chief of America's armed forces orders a strike on China or any of its regional strategic interest. What other thing did he promise or gave to them and what did he receive in exchange; or may be a promise of very lucrative post-service retainer as consultant in one of many Chinese front companies. It simply does not look good and in fact it defeats any logical explanation why General Milley has not resigned his office or fired for doing what he did.

So, regardless of whatever altruistic motive as he might have explained which made him do what he did, it still does not make it alright nor forgivable. It was a purely partisan and anti Trump driven sentiment that fired him on as he has not assured Chinese General Li Zuocheng that "the American government is "stable and everything is going to be okay" since Joe Biden assumed office despite his apparent mental disequilibrium? He has not called the Chinese PLA to give them assurances that "we are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against them" since January 20th, despite the obvious discordance and disquiet about who is truly in charge in the White House? Has General Mark A Milley even called General Li Zuocheng to affirm their friendship and inform him that "if we are going to attack, I am going to call you ahead of time and it is not going to be a surprise" in the past eight months now? 

ICHEOKU says is "everything fine" now in America since Joe Biden was installed in the White House? Is America "100% steady" when nearly half the country still believes that Joe Biden was not duly elected? If "democracy can be sloppy", is the rogue general advocating that America  abandon it and go the Chinese way or follow their model? So, why has he not called General Li Zuocheng since Joe Biden took office if it was not his hateful partisanship that made him undercut President Trump? He undermined his commander in chief and in fact contemplated a treasonous leak of information to the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army which would have been highly detrimental to our men and women in uniform, who are regularly called up to make the supreme sacrifice. How are these men and women feeling now, knowing that their Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs' action would have caused them their lives and limbs had war broken out with China. 

Is this revelation suddenly throwing some insight in the bungled Afghanistan withdrawal? Were the Taliban also called during the negotiations with the Trump administration and asked to remain headstrong, just like John Kerry did with the Iranians over the Iran nuclear deal? Was it what led to the Taliban being stubbornly insistent that America fully withdraw their troops from their country? Was the plan that their adamancy will lead to a stalemate where America is forced to resume hostilities and not withdraw? What else did the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs do or say that probably have cost some service members their lives and limbs? If he secretly confided in the Chinese, which other country possibly benefited from such his undermining activities? it is indeed bad and even worse that he is still in office, despite what his men and women will be thinking of him now. He tasked their general cohesiveness and trust; and the near fatal wound should not be allowed to turn into ulcer.

Was what he did not tantamount to "boxing in an American president" by making sure that no war is declared and if, the America will suffer a great loss by a tipped off, prepared and lying in wait China? Did he give a president of the United States a "decision space" to make up his mind whether or not to attack China before he went on to peremptorily promise to tip the PLA off of any order to attack them? In doing so, he inadvertently told China that there could be an attack by America on them and you wonder why the need of surprise as an element in warfare was lost on the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs? But he is a political woke general who suddenly realized that Joe Biden is "a seasoned politician who has been in Washington DC for 50 years" and will not be easily manipulated or harassed, as he did with novice stranger to Washington DC, President Donald John Trump. 

Then thrown in Gina Haspel with her comment " I agree with you on everything" and "We are going to lash out for his ego" and you understand that the level of resistance and sabotage of the Trump's presidency was system wide and deeper than the Grand Canyon. That he even survived as long as he did and was able to make it out alive is on its own a miracle, as everyone in Washington DC establishment including the people he appointed to various positions were resolved to make his government ungovernable. They constantly leaked information, repeated so much untruths about him and with every expected investigations not launched or stalled and frustrated. Even his attorney generals slow walked everything just to put him in a bad light, as an incompetent and mumbling fool who doesn't know how to govern, simply because he does not belong to the Washington DC establishment. 

ICHEOKU says is convinced that they will not allow him to come back in 2024 and they will move whatever mountain possible to frustrate it. But if he runs again and in the unlikely event he manages to pull off another berth at the White House, he should make it a cardinal point not to ever appoint anyone in Washington DC into any position whatsoever. Those people have proved that they cannot be trusted nor are they reliable, especially when dealing with an outsider. There are 50 States and other territories in America outside of Washington DC and he should look in them to find more trustworthy individuals to help him preside. 

There were other people who betrayed and sabotaged Trump's presidency, but for a Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs to be part of it is exactly what a Brutus stab really looks like. No wonder China is always pushing back and frequently thumbing its nose at America because they always have America's plans and intentions ahead of time. It is sad that Washington DC is indeed a swamp but nobody knew it was also this stinky a place. For a whole Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff to do what he did shows that the rot has metastasized to incurability.
