This has been in effect for years. Talking prevents wars, and you are only being disagreeable becauseNo, I wasn't in on the call, but this is what is being reported in Woodward's book....Are you now saying that he is making it up? Woodward was good enough for you pukes when he was undermining Trump or Republicans. Now not so much eh? Hack.
But, I am going to make it easy for you....The JCS is NOT a diplomat...He doesn't have that authority....
Here is the statute governing his job...
10 U.S. Code § 163 - Role of Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff

Now show me in there where it says one of his duties is to maintain contact with enemy counterparts, and warn them if we are to attack....I'll wait...
of your blind devotion to tump, and nothing more. You have no clue, and did you read the book?
Woodward does not lie, but don't take out of context. Based upon tump's post election rhetoric, somebody had to say something to reduce tension. General Milley was as close to tump as anybody, and tump was and is totally unhinged. Try focusing on that problem for our country instead of the bullshit you are focussing on.
