Milley briefed many about the backchannel calls with Li, including the Joint Chiefs, NSA director, CIA director and others (xviii), and made sure to give the Oct. 30 call a “routine flavor,” like past calls with Li (129). They had a five-year relationship of trust (128-130). — PolitiTweet.org

Ahead of today’s House testimony, a few pages of PERIL with important context… “Milley believed that Trump did not want a war” (xv) and that a U.S. “strike was preposterous” (xiv), but was highly alarmed about Trump’s conduct and a “hair-trigger environment” with China (xv) — PolitiTweet.org

Our reporting does not show, at all, a subversive tip off to China. If you read Ch. 26, it clearly shows Milley assuring Li any “kinetic action” would always include “buildup” and communication. An attempt to “deescalate and avoid miscommunication that could lead to an incident.” — PolitiTweet.org
