** 15-Sep-2021 World View: Milley going rogue
Woodward, Pelosi and Milley were/are all vitriolic Trump haters, and
Pelosi is a particularly hysterical and unstable Trump hater.
Remember when she tore up Trump's state of the union address as he was
delivering it. Pelosi is a total shithead.
If Woodward and Trump are telling the truth, and Kirby is correct,
then Milley has committed a crime.
In my opinion, the most likely scenario is that Woodward is lying (as
usual) to sell books, or at least took fairly standard events and blew
them way out of proportion for his book, and that Milley showed bad
judgment but did not commit a crime.

- At this afternoon's press conference, Pentagon spokesman John
Kirby said that if a Joint Chief had a consequential conversation with
a foreign general, then the President should be informed. However, he
said that he cannot comment on specific details in the previous
administration.
- Bob Woodward, who has a reputation for making things up to sell
books, claims that Milley thought that Trump was unstable, and so he
went around the president and had a consequential conversation with
his Chinese counterpart, wherein he promised that China would be
forewarned in case of a military threat.
- According to the reporting, which is somewhat vague, Milley was
motivated by hysterical screaming by Nancy Pelosi who demanded that
Milley take the nuclear "football" away from Trump so that he couldn't
start a nuclear war.
- As a result, Milley spoke to other Pentagon generals and demanded
that he be put into the chain of command in case there was a threat of
a military strike. Milley is an advisor to the president, but is not
in the chain of command.
- Trump says that if this story about Milley is actually true, then
Milley committed treason.
- There is no evidence at all that Trump was unstable, or that he
was planning a nuclear strike on China to get even for losing the
election. That whole concept is completely absurd, and doesn't make
sense. Trump left office on January 20, without incident.
