Report: Gen. Milley stopped Trump from going ‘rogue’ and launching nuclear weapons
Days after the January 6th riots, General Mark Milley reportedly secured the nuclear weapons from then President Trump who was seemingly in a “serious mental decline.” The details come from Bob Woodward’s newest book cowritten by Robert Costa titled “Peril.” CNN obtained a copy before its release date this September 21st.
As a result of the riots, the general apparently worried that Trump could ‘go rogue,’ according to the authors. So, he committed his staff to not take order from Trump without his approval. “No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” Milley reportedly told the officers during a January 8th meeting. Milley looked every staffer in the eye and demanded a verbal response.
Then, the two authors obtained a transcript from a call between Milley and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She was also concerned about the security of nuclear weapons and encouraged Milley to keep Trump away from them.
“What I’m saying to you is that if they couldn’t even stop him from an assault on the Capitol, who even knows what else he may do? And is there anybody in charge at the White House who was doing anything but kissing his fat butt all over this?” Pelosi said. “You know he’s crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time.”
“Madam Speaker, I agree with you on everything,” Milley said.
The book is Woodward’s second written about the Trump presidency. Read the full article here.

According to a report from the Jewish Chronicle, multiple universities in the United Kingdom have been aiding Iran in improving and developing military weapons. Such weapons include drones and fighter jets. The report is terrifying, showing that eleven British schools may be involved.
Universities such as the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London, were part of the eleven schools which “conducted at least 16 studies with connections to the Iranian regime’s use of military technology. The technology that U.K. scientists have developed has likely been used in Iranian weapons deployed in Ukraine as Russia leans on the Iranians for military aid” reports the Washington Free Beacon.
The conducted projects have helped improve Iranian technology and are sometimes even funded by the Iranian government in Tehran, the Jewish Chronicle reported:
The JC can reveal that in one project researchers in Britain worked to improve drone engines, boosting their altitude, speed and range. It was funded by Tehran.
Another British university worked with Iranian counterparts to test sophisticated new control systems for jet engines, aimed at increasing their “manoeuvrability and response time” in “military applications”.
Other UK-based scientists have worked with Iran to research the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as mobile base stations to extend the range of communications systems, on special alloys for military aircraft and coatings to upgrade armour plating.
