WASHINGTON-- Joint Staff Spokesperson Col. Patrick S. Ryder provided the following readout:

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. and Russian Chief of the General Staff Gen. Valery Gerasimov held a meeting June 8 in Helsinki, Finland.

The two military leaders discussed the deconfliction of Coalition and Russian operations in Syria, and exchanged views on the state of U.S.-Russia military relations and the current international security situation in Europe and other key regions. 

The U.S. and Russian militaries have undertaken efforts to improve operational safety and strategic stability. Both leaders recognize the importance of maintaining regular communication to avoid miscalculation and to promote transparency and deconfliction in areas where our militaries are operating in close proximity. 

In accordance with past practice, both generals have agreed to keep the details of their conversations private.

It is reassuring that efforts to minimize risk between US and Russian forces has again taken place.

The alignment of forces engaged in Syria to end ISIS have changed. Russia, Syria (Assad), Iran, and Turkey; all have their own perspective and interests.

It is time to end this war, that is in the interest of all, except Turkey and Iran.

Honest effort to find a political solution and end this war should be pressed for by both the US and Russia. (No that is NOT Russian collusion, that is statesmanship.)

It would be best if the ComDems remained silent in this. If not they will continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

That is the ComDem mantra. Headshake.

But “they” actually did make under the table financial deals with the Russians.
