Is in an unstable place, its my job to reach out to my counterparts around the world and prevent miscommunication and miscalculation that could lead to a preventable war. and i think thats what he was likely trying to do and i think we should find out more about that but in the meantime, it sounds like the people around the president were so worried that his mental state could lead us to war and that they needed to cool tensions. >> not just milley, right, top administration officials who were w...

Alike. and a little secret, brianna, ill tell you, dont tell anybody this, but i actually talked to my russian counterpart, military counterpart on several occasions, much the same way general milley did to his chinese counterpart. >> i have to set the scene for some of these discussions that were going on before we discuss whether this was the correct way to address some of this, but one of the things had to do with this was the situation where after the election donald trump had actually signe...
