https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T-Fuiw51ek Whoo boy. This is what happens when a thoroughly researched book has snippets dropped for clicks and soundbites. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley did some stuff (after T45 lost the election and became unhinged) that helped prevent WWIII. Some of the panel think he committed treason, some don't. At the end of the day, VP Pence and the Cabinet failed to invoke the 25th which was 100% warranted. Anyway, Idk if this was dropped before the show aired >>
There were 15 people on the video teleconference calls, including a representative of the State Dept and the read out and notes from Milley’s two calls with his Chinese counterpart were shared with the IC and the Interagency. So, there was no secret can & string pinky swear backdoor conversations.

Just like the tobacco industry knew for ages that cigarettes were deadly harmful but hid the information and lied the opposite.
