I get that, but want to know how @GOGETUMPOKE reconciles his opinion that Milley isn’t a Chinese operative, but committed treason for them. I don’t want to “put words in his mouth,” like he accuses people of doing. But his convenient double-speak is telling.None of that matters to him. His cult leader is angry, therefore it must be wrong.
Military-military conversations are routine across major competitors to prevent misunderstandings. I've read that China was concerned he would attack to create reason to not step down. This was a simple conversation saying that wouldn't happen. Otherwise you end up with risk of normal actions being interpreted incorrectly.
