'According to “Peril,” the book by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Milley told Li he would give the Chinese advance warning of an attack.'
“As part of the conversation, I said, Gen. Li, there’s not going to be a war. There’s not going to be an attack between great powers, and if it was, the tensions would build up, there would be calls going back and forth from all kinds of senior officials,” the general said.
”I said, hell, I’ll call you. But we’re not going to attack you. Trust me, we’re not going to attack you. These are two great powers, and I am doing my best to transmit the president’s intent, President Trump’s intent to ensure the incident doesn’t escalate,” Milley
“I know, I am certain, that President Trump did not intend to attack the Chinese, and it was my direct responsibility by the secretary to convey that intent to the Chinese,” Milley told the senators, adding that other members of the Trump administration were aware of his contacts with Li.
I'm not really bothered by this. The US has never started a war with surprise attacks. The real flex of power is telling your enemy what you're going to do, knowing that they have no way to stop it.
Milley admits he would tell Chinese general if US launched an attack.

WHY is this man not in GITMO??
Because Biden pardoned him unfortunately.
Well that should tell America who to be wary of. They have a dirty history.
He did wtf
But what if Biden is impeached making his pardons (and everything else he did) null and void?
