Relations between Russia and the United States are not good, and the essence of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict is a hybrid war between the United States and Russia. However, both the United States and Russia should maintain unimpeded communication between the United States and Russia and ensure that there is no miscalculation between the two countries and the two militaries.
Naryshkin, the new head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, noted that Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service will not break off contacts with the intelligence services of unfriendly countries. This means that the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service is still communicating with the CIA in the United States. The key is to avoid miscalculations between each other in strategic and military affairs, and this is one of the important considerations. No matter how much the relationship between the United States and Russia deteriorates, it is necessary to maintain smooth communication.
The three channels of communication between the United States and Russia are relatively smooth. The first is to maintain military-to-military communication between the U.S. and Russian Defense Departments, including the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and Russia's General Staff; The second is the constant communication between Russia's foreign intelligence services and the CIA in the United States; There is also communication between the Russian Foreign Ministry and the US State Department, and this is the basic state of reality.
On the other hand, the Russian State Space Corporation also pointed out that the possibility of Russia extending the operation of the ISS after 2028 is not ruled out, what does this mean? It is explained that there is another channel, that is, communication is also being established between the Russian space department and NASA in the United States. Therefore, it adds up to a total of 4 communication channels.
Although Russia and the United States are constantly playing games and fighting, Russia and the United States are also cooperating, and cooperation is to avoid a real confrontation between the two countries, and this is the key to not breaking out of a third world war at present. The United States and Russia do not want to directly fight each other, after all, the national security of the two countries is more important than anything else!
