Li Zuocheng of the People\u2019s Liberation Army that the U.S. would not launch a strike and, that if the U.S. did, it would not be a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeneral Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay. We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you,\u201d Milley reportedly said.&nbsp;\u201cGeneral Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we\u2019re going to attack, I\u2019m going to call you ahead of time. It\u2019s not going to be a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement from Milley\u2019s spokesperson continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>His calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability. All calls from the Chairman to his counterparts, including those reported, are staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department of Defense and the interagency.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Also in keeping with his responsibilities as senior military adviser to the President and Secretary of Defense, Milley frequently conducts meetings with uniformed leaders across the Services to ensure all leaders are aware of current issues. The meeting regarding nuclear weapons protocols was to remind uniformed leaders in the Pentagon of the long-established and robust procedures in light of media reporting on the subject.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>General Milley continues to act and advise within his authority in the lawful tradition of civilian control of the military and his oath to the Constitution.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Milley has faced widespread calls to resign over the phone call, including from Trump, who said in a statement, \u201cIf the story of \u2018Dumba**\u2019 General Mark Milley, the same failed leader who engineered the worst withdrawal from a country, Afghanistan, in U.S. history, leaving behind many dead and wounded soldiers, many American citizens, and $85 Billion worth of the newest and most sophisticated Military equipment in the world, and our Country\u2019s reputation, is true, then I assume he would be tried for TREASON in that he would have been dealing with his Chinese counterpart behind the President\u2019s back and telling China that he would be giving them notification \u2018of an attack.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t do that!\u201d Trump continued. \u201cThe good news is that the story is Fake News concocted by a weak and ineffective General together with two authors who I refused to give an interview to because they write fiction, not fact. Actions should be taken immediately against Milley, and better generals in our Military, of which we have many, should get involved so that another Afghanistan disaster never happens again. Remember, I was the one who took out 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. Milley said it couldn\u2019t be done!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the record, I never even thought of attacking China\u2014and China knows that,\u201d Trump concluded. \u201cThe people that fabricated the story are sick and demented, and the people who print it are just as bad. In fact, I\u2019m the only President in decades who didn\u2019t get the U.S. into a war\u2014a well known fact that is seldom reported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
