U.S. and Russian forces should increase their communication to help prevent a possible future conflict between Washington and Moscow, according to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley.

“It’s important to have an effective means of military-to-military communications in order to clearly understand each other’s positions on very difficult issues and to develop a relationship where we are candid and professional, which in times of crisis can become a very important means in order to de-escalate any kind of crisis situation,” Milley told reporters traveling with him after he met his Russian counterpart in Finland last week, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Russians by no means would EVER trust Milley - but they would find him to be a very useful idiot.

What a tool. Peter’s Principle was at work for sure, he has been promoted far beyond his competency level.

Are there Post Turtles in the military?

[Seruzawa]

Doubling down on stupid.

[billyboy15]

Milley is an asshole. Increased communication is the reason for the direct line communication from the WH to the Kremin which we have had for decades.

What the moron is doing here is to make an attempt to normalize” his treasonous actions under President trump of contacting China and telling them he would warn them if there was to be an attack on them by us.

Somebody tell Miss Miley that he isn’t in charge!

[proust]

To negotiate our complete surrender?

[proust]

You think Biden is? Milley and Nancy lead the coup/takeover.

[patriot torch]

The camel has now fully entered the tent

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

of course this treasonous fat bas*#$ would say this.

[Red Badger]

I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIS JOB?...................

[realcleanguy]

He is getting ready to surrender our forces to our enemies, it seems

WTF?? The military has ZERO business "de-escalating" anything! They have one job, and one job only - defeat the enemy.

It is the job of the REMF's to talk and de-escalate.

The very LAST thing we need is some general with an eye on some cushy job, getting involved in a "crisis-situation" and contradicting the actions of their boss, the HIGHEST military officer - the CinC.

[eartick]

Great idea Miley. Why not let Russia and China sit in on Pentagon briefings. /s

[pfflier]

Curtis LeMay must be rolling in his grave.

[right way right]

Why is a US General calling for anything?

[Lumper20]

Yes, it does. Milley is close to Benedict Arnold. Maybe worse.

[cgbg]

They have one job, and one job only - defeat the enemy.

Hmmm--when the commanding officer is a traitor, I wonder what the order of the day might be....

;-)

[monkeyshine]

Unbelievable. He should be fired immediately. Military and defense policy is and should be under civilian command. He’s trying to usurp the Department of State’s role. Not that the DoS has done a great job but it’s still not his role.

[panzerkamphwageneinz]

Just pick up the phone Mark, it’s not like you need approval or anything...ya know?

[chief lee runamok]

Wokest remf

[silverleaf]

I think Milley is a Jack Ryan wannabe with an Alexander Haig complex

But….nah
