Trump's last defense secretary says he pretended to be 'insane' and a 'madman' to throw the president off the idea of bombing Iran: book

"I have found oftentimes with provocative people, if you get more provocative than them, they then have to dial it down," Christopher Miller said.

Nov 15, 2021 · Trump asked at one point. "They can't build shit anymore." The episode was apparently alarming for Pompeo — who was otherwise one of the biggest Iran hawks in the Trump administration — prompting him to rebut Miller during the meeting and declare that such a strike would be a mistake, potentially leading to a larger war in the region.

Christopher Miller became acting defense secretary just as Trump was contemplating attacking Iran.

Miller purposefully took on the role of "fucking madman" to prevent Trump from following through, according to a new book.

Miller said his main goals were "no military coup, no major war, and no troops in the streets."

Christopher Miller, who became acting secretary of defense following the firing of Mark Esper, sought to dissuade former President Donald Trump from attacking Iran by acting like a "fucking madman" and walking Trump through just how destructive such an attack would be.

That's according to ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl's forthcoming book, "Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show," a copy of which was obtained by Insider in advance of its Tuesday release.

According to Karl, Miller came into the job with the modest goals of "no military coup, no major war, and no troops in the streets," echoing concerns that Esper also had before his firing.

Miller's containment strategy unfolded in an Oval Office meeting with the former president on November 12 alongside Vice President Mike Pence.............

Yeah.....and Miley felt he had to warn our enemy China that if Trump was planning on launching an attack he would call them.
Clearly Miley is crazy as fuck.
After all it was his decision to leave $85 billion in weapons and equipment behind in Afghanistan so Iran and the rest of our enemies could use them against us.

If there was ever going to be an ounce of credibility to this story, it ended with someone suggesting they would warn China of any potential attack.

Trump might be loud and even boorish at times, but he wasn't looking to start any major war, and he certainly wasn't going to do so against anyone, let alone China, just before an election. That would have ensured that he would lose re-election in large numbers.

It's one issue to engage in a war if China engages first, quite another to start a war. Also, if he was hellbent on doing so, he would have done so. Just as he killed the Iranian general against the wishes of so many in his administration.

You think Trump really didn't want to attack Iran? Well, maybe he was just playing the people around him so he could be the center of attention.. Trump has always been starved for relevance. He becomes important by virtue of being outrageous and belligerent. He's really combattive.

Trump has 2 months left to attack Iran, and here’s why he might

As the sun sets on the Trump presidency, the White House still has plenty of scores to settle, not least when it comes to dealing with Iran. Just how far is Trump prepared to go to make it impossible for Biden to de-escalate?

www.rt.com

The so-called concerns about Iran’s nuclear program are a façade; the real issue at stake is the strategic challenge Iran poses to the US-led “regional order” in the Middle East, whose overseers are Israel and Riyadh, both of whom lobbied the Trump administration fiercely to take a tough stance against Iran. Iran has faced off against these players through proxy conflicts in both Syria and Yemen.

Do you believe them?

So many entrenched DC types have cried wolf so many times it is hard to believe any of them. In fact outside of Rand Paul and a handful of others I really don't believe ANY of the DC scumbags and I certainly don't trust any of our garbage media.
