Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley traveled to Normandy, yesterday, to insult the memories of the thousands of troops who died on the beaches there on D-Day in 1944 by comparing Russia to Nazi Germany. In remarks in the presence of those hallowed graves, Milley promised that the United States and its allies will keep providing “significant” support to Ukraine out of “respect” for the legacy of D-Day soldiers, whose victory over the Nazis helped lead to a new world order and a “better peace.”
In an interview with the Associated Press on Omaha Beach, Milley claimed that Russia’s war on Ukraine undermines the rules established by Allied countries after the end of World War II. One fundamental rule of the “global rules-based order” is that “countries cannot attack other countries with their military forces in acts of aggression unless it’s an act of pure self-defense,” he stressed. “But that’s not what’s happened here in Ukraine. What’s happened here is an open, unambiguous act of aggression.”
