In reply to the discussion: Woodward/Costa book: Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took top-secret action to protect nuclea [View all]Escurumbele
(3,386 posts)27. I don't agree with that, he may have saved the World from the worst possible catastrophe
Imagine a Nuclear War, that would be the end of everything, and trump was willing to start one just to stay in the WH to make sure he would not get prosecuted, nothing else.
I don't trust the military brass, but what Milley did was an act of heroism, trump is a different story to any other president, even GW Bush, who was extremely incompetent, was not evil, he was just stupid and did what Cheney, who is evil, told him to do.
I think we need to expect from responsible people, and most of in the military, to make the right decisions at the right time, and in this case Milley was right.

Very true. Trump over-stepped all boundaries and would be a dictator right now
