1. Well, okay....

...would have appreciated you speaking out before the election, but better late than never, I suppose.

3. agreed! nt

7. +1

2. Fuck him, he should have been concerned when he first resigned.

Too little, too late.

5. McMaster was a military officer

His posting was National Security Advisor. I don't think he has been political in all this. Trump chased him away because McMaster disagreed with Trump's foreign policy.

13. I know who he was and what he did and my feelings are the same.

16. It is not 'political' to tell the truth and warn citizens of a treacherous govt employee. nt

[reACTIONary]

20. It would definitely have been taken...

... as a partisan, political attack.

[wiggs]

21. McMaster is a republican. nt

4. Chump is helping Putin sow doubts and distrust

... so is that another way of saying "Treason?"

Sounds like it to me.

[BComplex]

10. That's what it sounds like to me. McMaster just revealed that he knows about trump/putin's

arrangement. He probably resigned because trump was doing everything putin told him to do.

Our national security agency needs to prevent phone calls between trump and putin until this is all over. And maybe afterwards, too, come to think of it.

11. Yeah, his mention of Putin is kind of a BIG DEAL, B - but will be lost in the whirlwind of chaos

Also, I have no doubt that bunkerboi and Putin speak often and always have, AND all this worry about bunkerbaby telling state secrets to US adversaries “when he’s out of the WH”? Wtf, he’s been doing that since Day 1 NO DOUBT

[BComplex]

12. I think Putin is behind this preparation for war that trump is going through.

[erronis]

19. Yup. And it has been in preparation long before 2016. Pute plays a long game.

6. Not seeing the condemnation. "Very concerned"? Who is he, Susan Collins? nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. For Trump, all roads lead to Putin.

The expressions of shame by the military in that room.

9. So the whole world is at the mercy of a crazy criminal

[matt819]

14. That's the third retired 4-star

If they're alarmed, I'd say it's not a bad idea to be alarmed.

17. What took him so long

I have two problems with the general. He waited until after the elections to speak out. Had he spoken before, it wouldn't have made a difference to the Trump imbecile cultists, but it might have made a difference with some suburban voters who normally vote GOP and were looking for one more reason to switch. My second problem:Why did he ever agree to serve the Nazi clown in the first place. By working in that criminal administration he became an enabler.

[BusyBeingBest]

18. I had forgotten all about McMaster, he's been pretty quiet.

Good that he's speaking up now at least.
