‘IT DIDN'T HAPPEN’: Outgoing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, who retires in two weeks, is doing a round of exit interviews with various media organizations, and in the latest with CNN, he flatly denies the suggestion that he ever pressed former President Donald Trump to attack Iran.
“As the chairman or any member of the joint chiefs, our job is to render advice. We have plans for all kinds of things. And when we render advice, typically we say course of action, one, two, or three. We talk about the costs and the risks, and we make recommendations. And I can assure you that not one time have I ever recommended to attack Iran,” Milley told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in the interview, which airs in full on Sunday.
“The president recalls a four-page report typed up by Mark Milley himself,” Meadows wrote. “It contained the general’s own plan to attack Iran, deploying massive numbers of troops, something he urged President Trump to do more than once during his presidency. President Trump denied those requests every time.”
“Well, of course I believe him. I mean, he has great credibility, and I've been with him in meetings concerning Iran, and I've never seen any indication of his desire or willingness to make recommendations that would result in a military conflict,” Turner said. The report “aims to inform NASA on what possible data could be collected in the future to shed light on the nature and origin of UAP,” NASA said while cautioning that the report is “not a review or assessment of previous unidentifiable observations.”
House Republicans failed to garner enough votes to adopt the rule for considering the bill on the floor, something that’s usually done as a routine procedural matter. The derailment of what is typically a noncontroversial step in the legislative process underscores the deep division in the House, as hard-right members of the Freedom Caucus are demanding deeper cuts and an array of social policy amendments as a condition for averting a government shutdown at the end of the month.
“It's frustrating, I’m frustrated more than anybody,” Calvert said."You know, in my mind, the first obligation of the U.S. government is to defend the country, and we need to get the defense appropriation bill done. So every day we delay doing this sends the wrong message to our friends and our enemies.
Russia claimed its air defenses shot down seven of 10 incoming missiles but acknowledged the two ships were damaged. “Ukraine’s efforts to expel the unprovoked Russian invaders is at a critical juncture. While their counteroffensive has made slower progress than many had hoped, the Ukrainians have the advantage, are pressing the offensive, and are resolute in emerging victorious,” the two former commanders argue. “Continued U.S. and NATO aid can and will be the difference in whether or not the world stops Putin’s dangerous aggression and genocide against a sovereign and peaceful nation and its people.
