Milley: ‘Arguably,’ We’re in a ‘Confrontation’ with China
Breitbart ^ | 06/05/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 06/05/2023 4:35:40 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with CNN Pentagon Correspondent Oren Liebermann on Monday aired on Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley stated that there is certainly a competition between the U.S. and China, “and arguably, we’re in confrontation. But we’re not yet in a conflict.” And he doesn’t view a war between the two as inevitable.

Milley said, “Both countries are significant powers, great powers — if you want to call it that — in the world today. Both countries have significant amounts of nuclear weapons. They’ve got large and capable militaries. So, a conflict between great powers — arguably, we’re in — for sure, we’re in competition, and arguably, we’re in confrontation. But we’re not yet in a conflict.”

We are obviously fighting a shadow war against Russia. And now China. Many saw this coming with Biden’s weakness, but it’s still incredible to contemplate.

The head of the Chinese military told him so during one of Milley’s reports to him.

Is that why you called China to reassure them post election steal 2020?

So much of a confrontation that you felt the necessity of calling Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, a few days before the 2020 election, and again on January 6th, to assure them that the U.S. wasn’t planning on attacking them, and that you would call them, and give them a heads-up if and when we did.

No, we’re not. We are OWNED by China and this government and the deep state has to pretend we’re not.

He called them twice. Once on October 30th, just days before the election, and again on January 6th.

I correct that. The second call was on January 8th, 2021.

Milley is working on getting the CCP to accept CRT and “transgenders”?

It is a rather queer confrontation based on what I see on labels in Chinards, China Depot, Great Wall Mart, China Freight, etc.

Good luck to Milley when he has to resort to the draft.

No one’s going to fight this war.

Cordially,

Many in the new generations will not work, so perhaps neither will most fight - (except maybe for BLM and Antifa).

But the spoils will go to victor and many will be enslaved because that is what happens to nations that lose wars.

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina will shoot dead anyone refusing the draft.

If you watched the huge media push and propaganda for Ukraine, they’ll have no problems getting the votes for Lindsey to conduct firing squads. Remember the venom towards the unvaccinated? “A pandemic of the Unvaccinated.”

"I didn’t even know that there were two calls. What a disgrace."

Milley is deep in his betrayal.
