General Mark Milley was "confident that Trump had serious mental problems after the election," write the authors of the book "Risk" (Peril) — Journalist Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

It claims that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milli, took top secret actions to prevent Trump from using US nuclear weapons. General Millie allegedly assumed this responsibility, just two days after riots in the Capitol on January 6 In 2021, he decided to limit Trump's ability to order a military strike.

Woodward and Costa argue that General Millie was deeply alarmed by the attack on the Capitol and that he “was convinced that Trump had fallen into a serious mental state of oppression, and Now he’s almost insane - screaming at officials and constructing his own alternative reality about endless election conspiracies.” According to journalists, General Millie was seriously worried that Trump might "go crazy."

The book says that General Millie told his colleagues, "You never know what a president's trigger point is."

According to the authors of Risk, on January 8, the general held a secret meeting in his Pentagon office at which the process for launching hostilities, including the launch of nuclear weapons, was reviewed. General Milley told officials in charge of the Pentagon's war room - the National Military Command Center - not to carry out any orders unless he gave the green light to carry them out.

According to Peril, General Milli told officials: “No matter what you are told, you must follow the procedure. And I am part of this procedure. " Then he asked each of the officers to verbally confirm that they understood everything and were ready to do it.

The book is based on more than 200 interviews with people who were directly involved in the events covered, as well as with witnesses to the events following the 2020 presidential election.

General Millie became uneasy watching Trump's erratic behavior and became even more worried about US national security after the events of January 6. The general had two telephone conversations with the supreme general of China, who was concerned about the unrest in the United States.

The authors write that the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi told General Millie during a tense telephone conversation: “If they could not stop him even from attacking the Capitol, who knows what else he can do? And is there any executive in the White House who does anything other than kiss his fat ass? "

“You know he's crazy. He went crazy a long time ago,” she added.

“Madam Speaker, I agree with you on everything,” the general responded, according to the Peril writers. After the call, General Milley told his service chiefs to monitor the situation "all the time."

Then he called the director of the National Security Agency (NSA) Paul Nakasone.

“Ears perked up...keep watching, keep scanning,” he told General Nakasone.

“Keep a close eye on everything, 360 degrees,” General Milley told then-CIA Director Gina Haspel.

“Milly oversaw the mobilization of America’s national security without the knowledge of the American people or the rest of the world,” Woodward and Costa write. They add that "some may argue that Milley has overstepped his authority and arrogated exclusive power to himself," but overall believe that this is a "bona fide precaution to ensure that there is no historical violation of international order, an accidental war with China and other disasters.

After the events of January 6, General Milley “did not feel absolutely confident that the military could control or trust Trump and believed that it was his job as the senior military officer to think through everything and take all necessary precautions,” the authors write.

General Millie considered this "the most theoretically possible dark moment."
