Top US Generals Feared Former President Trump Would Attempt A Coup After Losing The Election
Washington (CNN)The top US military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, was so shaken that then-President Donald Trump and his allies might attempt a coup or take other dangerous or illegal measures after the November election that Milley and other top officials informally planned for different ways to stop Trump, according to excerpts of an upcoming book obtained by CNN.
The book, from Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, describes how Milley and the other Joint Chiefs discussed a plan to resign, one-by-one, rather than carry out orders from Trump that they considered to be illegal, dangerous or ill-advised. "It was a kind of Saturday Night Massacre in reverse," Leonnig and Rucker write.
The book, "I Alone Can Fix It," scheduled to be released next Tuesday, chronicles Trump's final year as president, with a behind-the-scenes look at how senior administration officials and Trump's inner circle navigated his increasingly unhinged behavior after losing the 2020 election. The authors interviewed Trump for more than two hours.

WNU Editor: No wonder the Pentagon is so screwed up from making poor procurement and policy decisions to losing conflicts like the war in Afghanistan. The leadership is more focused on politics and influencing Washington than winning wars, and they are no longer hiding their political prejudices and biases.
Case in point. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley calling President Trump a Nazi (if that Washington Post allegation is true) is outrageous .... Top US general said Trump spread 'gospel of the Führer' and threatened US democracy with 2020 election lies: new book (Business Insider). Add in recent remarks made by Gen. Milley on his support for teaching racist ideologies like "critical race theory" to young officers .... sighhhh .... all of this tells me volumes on where the Pentagon's mindset is right now.
And while Democrats, the media, never-Trumpers, and progressives are applauding this book and accepting its conclusions. To say that this telegraphs a dangerous message to America's adversaries in the world is an understatement.
The political and military leadership in countries like Russia and China are going to read this book. And they will see what I see. A military that has become a dysfunctional organization, focused on developing a wolk culture, and lead by a very weak President.
And you can take this to the bank. The leadership in these countries are going to take advantage of this situation in the next 3 years, especially China.
