Has the Pentagon taken over military action & diplomacy in both theaters of war?

Have Blinken and Sullivan been usurped? Has the Pentagon taken over essentially diplomacy as well as any action militarily speaking with regard to both theaters of war? Can Ukraine Make It to Nov 5th? Why is Zelensky is on his way to the USA, could the funds he was just promised by Biden being held up? Are the tables turning??

Retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson's sources say that SECDEF and CENTCOM (U.S. Central Command) have usurped authority from the White House and are dictating diplomatic and military decisions in the Middle East. His source says Netanyahu has been told that if he invades Lebanon, he's on his own.

Ret. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson tells Judge Andrew Napolitano yesterday: A Combatant Commander has effectively usurped the White House, State Department and CIA and has taken control of US diplomacy in the Middle East? Telling Netanyahu that if he invades Lebanon (or anywhere else) he's on his own?
How could a single combatant commander possess the authority to do something like this? This is the full episode and I think we what we are hearing is the crest of a huge pivot.

"Ukraine is defeated...the situation is so bad that Zelensky is in serious danger. [He] will either resign in the near future or he will have to flee the country. Otherwise, the Ukrainians themselves could try to deal with him," says Col. Lawrence Wilkerson
