BREAKING: China has announced the end to the following cooperation with the US1) Calls with leaders2) Defense meetings3) Maritime Security Consultation4) Climate Change Talks5) Anti-Drug cooperation6) Transnational crimes7) Illegal Immigration— The Chollima Report (@ChollimaOrg) August 5, 2022
Apparently during the last Taiwan Strait Crisis a Chinese military officer called Taiwan to give them a heads up "Hey we're not actually targeting the missiles at you this is just for show" and they executed him for treason.
Huh that's weird. I read quite recently that they have pretty cordial relations and are regularly making such phonecalls with US generals regarding south china sea stuff. I read that they have a pretty respectful relationship. That was a US general saying it though not Taiwan.
EDIT: Oh here's an article about some https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/3150486/top-us-military-official-defends-phone-calls-chinese-counterpart-during
There's some more recent ones here: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/7/7/top-us-general-mark-milley-speaks-with-chinese-counterpart
Seems like Gen Milley is pretty friendly with them.
Every time I've seen Milley speak he's seemed like a man that deeply deeply does not want any wars to happen. So yeah it definitely seems like a good thing. I like and trust him a lot more than the rest of the establishment that he has to work for/around.
I'm interested to see what becomes of Milley, not because I think he's particularly great or anything but because every time I've seen him speak it's like I can see some future timeline where he's got a much larger political role. I can't put my finger on why but it's like I am briefly getting visions of DNC ghouls maneuvering him into some position as some kind of moderate compromise candidate for... Something.
Oh I definitely see that too. Let's say you have some massive internal power struggle in the country and then you coup the country and you need a figure that everyone agrees is a principled neutral moderate who just genuinely seems to care about doing right and projects the image of "good" to his audience. That seems to be Milley. Genuinely doesn't want to get thousands of people killed and seems to recognise the gravity of the responsibility his role holds.
Also that authenticity he projects is something people like fucking Biden or Pelosi would kill to have because they're fake pieces of shit.
Also I can't see anyone wanting to assassinate Milley even under some terrible internal divisive thing. He's got it all going on swirling around him. The only thing that might push him out is not being a hawk but even hawks will see having him around if they need to project all these things is useful.
Probably the most dangerous kind of person in the world. Someone who read the theory, understood it, and made a decision to use it as a weapon in service of capitalism.
I was going to say, knowing western reporting, isn't there like a 51% chance that the dude was just reassigned and, because it's not a visible position, western journos decided he was killed? They do that shit with the DPRK multiple times a year.

That's good, at least. And there's hopefully still plenty of back-channel stuff they can do.

I do like it when generals are strongly invested in having a long boring career.

Yeah I thought it was pretty harsh. And it was from a wiki article so who knows if that's even what actually happened.
I was going to say, knowing western reporting, isn't there like a 51% chance that the dude was just reassigned and, because it's not a visible position, western journos decided he was killed? They do that shit with the DPRK multiple times a year.
and that's one of the reasons even AES shouldn't have the death penalty
