Their just our buddy ole' pals that have nothing but great intentions, right? Look, if the dude just had it in his mind that he would deny Trump's request to attack a foreign nation, that's one thing. Generals pledge an oath to the Constitution, not the President. I wouldn't think that was treasonous. However, him calling our adversary, and telling them he would warn them of an attack is exactly treason.

Telling his generals he thought the president was unhinged and asking them not to do what the President requests... not treason. Calling the head of the enemies army to tell him he's on their side... treason. See how that works? Doesn't matter. He's safe. You won't question the narrative. All is well.

Promising to call if an attack was imminent is negotiation.  Setting up a red phone.  A hotline, if you will.  It's a de-escalation.  Our government has, for decades, been very careful to call China an adversary, not an enemy.  We are not at war with them.  If we were at war (declared or not) my answer would be different.

At least he learned about line breaks between paragraphs.  We may have turned a corner.

Did you just compare the sitting chairman of the joint chiefs of staff to Jeffrey Dahmer?
