Oh so close!

We were very close to an all out war! Thank goodness General Miley was willing to throw his career away and stopped Trump.

1. Milley is this century's Smedley Butler.

2. Ain't that the truth!

I recently saw some RWNJ calling Milley a “disgrace” and a “traitor” and I wondered what that was all about ... now I know.

I guess the RWNJs would have been 100% on board if Trump decided to nuke China.

Just chilling...

3. I don't know about him...

can't let go of Lafayette Square.

[Hope232]

4. Lafayette Square?

What happened with that?

[gratuitous]

6. Milley accompanied the former guy for his "I Can Hold A Bible All By Myself" photo stunt

Afterwards, Milley said he didn't know what the stunt was all about until after it happened. I have my doubts about that.

5. The U.S. Military would have NEVER backed Chump in a million years

They hated his sorry ass, couldn't wait to see him leave.
That is all.

7. I truly would like to believe that......

but then again, I can't believe something like TFG got elected as President - and continues to have people lying/fighting/screaming for him.....

8. I'm thinking this might be like a 13 days scenario.

...and we don't know the full story yet.

A nuclear launch on China would no doubt result not just retaliating on us, but go for broke and hit both Taiwan and Japan. North Korea would then rain shell fire on Seoul. Eventually, even Russia would get pulled into this and we can kiss our ass goodbye. It would be a good time to live in Mexico or further south.

9. Or head north to Canada ...

Just sayin'

On the other hand, I don't think Putin would be talked into launching nukes against us. He gains nothing by doing that.

[Xolodno]

10. Maybe nothing to gain...but a lot to lose.

Nuclear fallout wouldn't be too good given the proximity of Russia to China. And they are also a big trading partner. And if it should go badly for China, having US military assets that close will make them very skittish. World War One happened because all the dominos started to fall.
