What could possibly go wrong?
I am sure that US and Sov, er, Russian troops are communicating at a level much lower than their commanders and just not bothering to tell their ‘leaders’ about it. “We’ll stay out of X until you are clear, then move through.” Or something like that.
Yes you are correct. Our troops are handing out 5 gallon pails of ice cream and cases of coke a cola. Or at least that’s what we did on the West German boarder decades ago ...
I certainly hope so.
““We’ll stay out of X until you are clear, then move through.””
Doubtless everybody is using coded radios and then there’s the language difficulty. It’s doubtful there’s much communications at any level.
From what I understand, all the operational controls are being held at the highest levels. The low-level guys have ZERO say in anything. This is why individual units are coming back without dropping anything.....they get sent out with a target, then told to stand down from on-high.
It is almost as if the communications are between the White House and ISIS to ensure the casualties are not too high.

During Obama’s last year a lot WILL go wrong. Tragically wrong. Our adversaries have nothing to fear. They know Obama will never respond to any provocation, no matter how grave. Its open season on the U.S.
My real iife cold-war experience says you are correct
Is Obama trying to get us into a war with Russia? Why is the US defending any side in Syria? I don’t get why we are involved in Muslims vs Muslims conflicts. Let them kill each other. We need to get the Christians out of Muslim countries and the Muslims out of ours.
