Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller stunned reporters with a bizarre, meandering interview in which he praised Russia and said he cant wait to quit his post, according to a transcript released Friday.
Miller, appointed just two months ago by President Donald Trump, told reporters Thursday on a flight back to Washington that he had professional respect for how they do things in Russia. He said the nation had been dealt a bad hand, and played it very, very well.
Miller added: I kind of, you know, like, professionally, Im like, wow, theyre doing pretty well, and theyre using a lot of irregular warfare concepts, information, all this stuff, in a way that, you know, like
good on them.

Miller presumably was not referring to such matters as the poisoning of dissidents. But aggressive efforts by Russian President Vladimir Putins government and its supporters to utilize social media and other means to sow political discord in the U.S. is a major concern that has been flagged by Americas intelligence community. Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election to aid Trump documented by Special Counsel Robert Mueller proved a political drag on much of Trumps term.
