Putting the nuclear weapons chain of approval under tight lock with added oversight, i dont have a problem with.
If the orders had been given and denied.. that would be a crisis that would need some deep consideration. But they werent, so its a non issue.
Calling the Chinese general.. I have questions about. Is that sort of call normal operating procedure? Does it fall within what is legal for a general to do? I honestly dont know, but it feels very iffy to me as a complete non-expert.
