Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Washington Post: Top Russian military leaders repeatedly decline calls from U.S., prompting fears of ‘sleepwalking into war’
Repeated attempts by the United States’ top defense and military leaders to speak with their Russian counterparts have been rejected by Moscow for the last month, leaving the world’s two largest nuclear powers in the dark about explanations for military movements and raising fears of a major miscalculation or battlefield accident.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have tried to set up phone calls with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Gen. Valery Gerasimov but the Russians “have so far declined to engage,” said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby in a statement Wednesday.
The attempted calls by Austin and Milley, which have not previously been reported, come as Russia conducts operations near the borders of NATO members Poland and Romania while the United States and its European allies conduct air-policing operations over the Baltic Sea and pour weapons and equipment into Ukraine by ground transport.

WNU Editor: This is not a good sign .... not a good sign at all. This could be a precursor to a complete diplomat break between Washington and Moscow.

Why would you?
These US Generals are not going to say anything useful. What sit there and call me an aggressor and how I should just stop fighting. I have better things to do. There will be plenty of time to talk to the arrogant Americans when this is over. In the mean time, I will do what I need to do.
BTW, I served with these guys..There is an old saying. When a Man goes from Colonel to General, he goes from Soldier to Politician. The Russians know this, they understand that all they are going to get from the American Military is boiler plate criticisms and platitudes. So what is the use. The only time the Americans consult with you is when they want something.
The Ruskies will talk when "THEY" are ready.
Diplomatic way? Bizarre when the President insult the other one.
We do not know it this is true or not from day 1 of this war the information has been coming from 1 side only the other side was shut down and the bit that somehow does trickle thru is labelled Fake News

Had to post the above 3 times before it finally stuck.
And my comments with the word H-u-n-t-e-r are being auto deleted.
I doubt WNU wrote a script. He is too busy and not that petty. The programmers for blogspot have been ordered to fly CAP for H-u-n-t-e-r and the crime family he belongs too.

8 points about H-u-n-t-e-r, which takes some time to type and it is erased 6 different times.
