They don't call, they don't write. What's with those Russians anyway; they refuse to take Gen. Mark Milley's calls and he's the freaking chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. On the other hand, the Russians aren't taking any of our calls by U.S. officials.
Perhaps Milley can use the Chinese as a go-between with Russia. They probably like him because he's the guy who told them not to worry if former President Trump "got crazy." He said that he would step in to protect them--that's the kind of person this traitorous piece of work is. So with Communist China confident that Milley is on their side, maybe they would do him the favor and drop a dime for him because the Russians don't seem to want to deal with this loser.
An account of Milley’s behavior was described in the book “Peril” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. Just four days before the 2020 election, Milley reportedly called Gen. Li Zuocheng, his Chinese counterpart, to assure him that “If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
In other words, if we're going to attack China [which was not going to happen under Trump] this a-hole was going to warn him in advance so that China could wipe destroy the attackers. It's amazing Milley wasn't shot for treason.

“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest-ranking military officer whose sole role is providing military-specific advice to the president, and by law is prohibited from exercising executive authority to command forces,” Miller had told Fox News.
“The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense, not through the Chairman,” Miller said.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, another woke weasel told told Fox’s America’s Newsroom on Thursday that in these sensitive times, top Russian military officials keep rebuffing U.S. attempts to communicate with them, and that's not nice.
“We think communications with the Russians is important,” Kirby said, as if this was ground-breaking news. “Particularly now – in fact, now more than ever – to be able to communicate with our Russian counterparts and make sure we can convey our continued concerns about the manner in which they’re prosecuting this unprovoked war.
“We have tried on numerous occasions to connect Secretary [of Defense Lloyd] Austin with his counterpart [defense minister Sergei Shoigu]; Chairman Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has also tried to connect with his counterpart [Valery Garasimov]. We’ve made multiple attempts here, but they have not answered up, they’ve declined to take these calls.
“Now I will say, it’s not like we don’t have any communication with the Russians – We could do that through our embassy, we have a defense attaché in Moscow, we have a deconfliction line, of course, that we’re using – it’s not so much for normal comms – but in order to deconflict, especially in that airspace as you get closer to NATO’s eastern flank.
“So there are vehicles – we still have military-to-military communications with the Russians — but at the senior levels, where we think it’s really important, particularly right now, that’s not happening. And it’s not happening because the Russians don’t seem to be interested.”

It isn't that they are not interested; it's that they are flipping our top officials off.

Now with Biden and his motor-mouth that says things which constantly need to be fixed by his staff, there are worries about the use of nuclear weapons. Regardless of what Kirby spouts, the fact that our links with Russia are cut off between top military personnel is very worrisome.
Finally, if Milley is somehow able to communicate with Russia, hopefully he won't try to dictate policy to them--we already have an incompetent to do that.
