(CNN)Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley met his Russian counterpart for about six hours Wednesday in a "productive" meeting in Helsinki at a time of heightened tensions between the US and Russia.
"When military leaders of great powers communicate, the world is a safer place," Milley said after his meeting with Valery Gerasimov, the Chief of General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.
The meeting covered a "variety of topics on issues worldwide," said Col. Dave Butler, Milley's spokesman.
The discussion was "military focused" and "serious," he added.
"Both generals display mutual respect for each other, though both have taken the opportunity to quip or joke on occasion."

Honestly, Russia has more nukes. Although that is changing, since China has more or will have more than 200 to 300. Under the logic that once you have to to destroy the earth once over say 1,000 to 2,000 and anything over that doesn't matter then China will be on par nuclearly in the next few years.
ReplyDeleteSo reasoning that way won't carry water. While Russia/USSR di engage in proxy Wars, they were more circumspect than a person might believe. The supported North Korea, but it was North Korea that asked China and the USSR for permission and back up.
Cuba got Russia involved in Angola.
The Soviets told the Afghan communist leadership that they were going about it all wrong and were going too fast. The Russians did replace the Afghan communist leader, but it was after he ignored advice and started losing big time.
The Soviets are expansionist, but they looked for sure things. I do not see them precipitating a war, I do see China doing so.
