“In war planning and execution, the enemy always gets a vote.”
Funny story in my training in war planning. The topic was continuity of government and the various plans involved. In those plans were the locations congress could be sent in case of nuclear attack. Someone asked if we would be maintaining contact with the USSR during an attack. When asked why, he responded, “Well, someone has to be sure they have the coordinates.”
+1.
We are not enemies with the russian people. The two governments are enemies.
