would go like this with somebody randomly walking into the baghdad embassy and starting. so as to deconflict, so as to avoid any circumstances which our country s warplanes would be in the same place as that country s warplanes. the talk were supposed to open up lines of communication to make sure there were no crossed wires, no miscommunication, no accidental war between russia and the united states with the russian and united states militaries operating in conflict, in such proximity. those talks, they announced yesterday, were supposed to start very soon. instead, russia this morning just started bombing. and the way they announced it was by sending a guy into one of our embassies in the middle east to announce that it was under way and please get out of the way. even though that russian official who marched into the embassy to make this announcement said all american planes should be grounded in syria, to make way for russian planes, the u.s. didn t ground u.s. planes.
