It seems to be increasingly likely that the revelations about Milley’s stunning insubordination--colluding with hostile foreign powers behind the president’s back--are simply Milley taking credit for his actions. All the theorizing and speculation by me and by others is based in nostalgia for an older constitutional order. The Zhou regime is standing behind Milley in no uncertain terms, apparently because they think that this attempt at continuing the Orange Man Bad narrative will somehow, counter intuitively, persuade the American public that they’re really better off now:
If you stand back and view both sides on this subject you'll note that the constitutional crowd jeers are getting run over by the *pin a metal on this guy* clan.
I do agree with the jest of what Mark is saying... "simply Milley taking credit for his actions"
He's bragging about it as if underhandedly mucking around in foreign policy in the last days of an adminstration was some war stopping event... Oh brother!
As a veteran and West Point graduate, this post depresses me. I just wonder what he will do if Zhou decides to do something right after making several incoherent statements showing cognitive decline. Is the new standard that our flag officers swear to uphold and defend the constitution....unless they think the cic is not thinking clearly? This is a travesty!!
So we're going to see Biden pin a medal on him rather than hold Milley to account? I guess I'm not all that surprised. What does Milley have on Biden? And related question, as others have wondered, what countries did Milley reach out to in order to reassure them that brain addled Biden is not a security risk because others(like him) are really in charge?
So much for "stare decisis" when it comes to following constitutional order. Coup-like behavior must be hidden by the emanation of a penumbra or other...
Laura I. has a lawyer on now (about this Milley stuff), to be followed by Greenwald (right away?).

Who, other than DJT and his backers, doesn't have dirt on Biden?

They hang together, else they might hang separately.
Wow! These people dwell in a bubble of self-delusion.
Their hubris will be their undoing.
