US Commander: Trump did not intend to attack China militarily
According to Fars News Agency’s International Group, Mark Millie, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a hearing on Tuesday in response to allegations in a book that former President Donald Trump had no intention of attacking China.
About two weeks ago, the media, citing a book called “Peril” written by two American investigative journalists, “Bob Woodward” and “Robert Costa”, claimed that “Mark Millie” was concerned about the possibility of a war with China. In the wake of Trump’s tensions, he has twice secretly contacted his Chinese counterpart.
The book, based on documentaries by about 200 informed government and non-government sources, states that Milli, worried about Trump’s nervous behavior in the final weeks of his White House run and his defeat in the presidential election, once on October 30, 2020. And again, on January 8, he called Li Zhejiang, chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Central Committee of the Chinese Armed Forces.
Mark Milli said today (Tuesday, October 26) in a hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee that the purpose of the two contacts was to reduce tensions and that Trump had no intention of attacking China.
“The clear purpose of my contacts in October and January was to provide alarming information that led us to believe that the Chinese were concerned about a US military strike,” he said.
Earlier, citing excerpts from the book “Danger”, he wrote in front of the website of the “Cyanan” news network that Milli was “shocked” by the attack of Trump supporters on the Congress building on January 6 and assured that Trump’s rational actions would follow. The election results have been severely weakened.
According to the book, Milli told senior military commanders, “You can never know what will make the president boil.”
Two days after the January 6 riots, the Joint Chiefs of Staff called on senior military officials to refrain from taking any possible orders from Donald Trump to launch a nuclear strike, according to Cyanan.
Cyanan says Robert Millie met with senior Pentagon officials on January 8, 2021 (two days after Trump’s attack on the Congress building) in secret.
He told senior military commanders at the meeting that no one should be instructed to take military action unless he was part of the decision-making process. “It does not matter what you are told to do,” he said [اطمینان حاصل کنید] “I was part of the decision-making process.”
Mark Millie then looked into the eyes of each of the commanders in the wheelchair room and asked them to say that they understood what their job was. The authors of the book write that Milli considered this action as a kind of “oath”.
The book peril is based on interviews with more than 200 eyewitnesses and is a new account of the last days of Donald Trump in power. This is Woodward’s third book to describe the impulsive and capricious behavior of the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces. “According to this narrative, Trump has been angry in the last days of his tenure and has been shouting at his advisers and deputies.”
The book also includes sections describing Trump’s behavior in the days leading up to the attack on Congress, as well as new details about Trump’s conversation with his deputy, Mike Pence, on January 5.
Cyan wrote Mark Millie’s fear of Trump’s behavior based on his personal observations of Trump’s hasty decisions. The authors of the book write that the events of January 6 and its possible dangers to the national interests of the United States have doubled Milli’s fears.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi contacted Mark Millie on the same day. The available document on the text of this conversation shows that Milli reassured Pelosi that he was safe from the possibility of a nuclear attack.
“What I want to say is, ‘Who knows what else he wants to do when his attack on Congress cannot be stopped?’ You know, he’s crazy. “He has been crazy for a long time.”
“Madam President, I agree with you on all this,” Millie told Pelosi.
It was after this phone call that Mark Millie decided he had to do something and summoned and swore in military commanders to avert Trump’s threat.
