Top US general: Unwise to share intelligence with Russia on Syria
WASHINGTON- The top US general told Congress on Thursday it would be unwise to share intelligence with Russia and stressed that would not be one of the military's missions if Washington and Moscow were to ever work together against Islamist militants in Syria.
The United States and Russia clinched a ceasefire deal earlier this month that held out the possibility of joint targeting of ISIS and other militants after a cessation of hostilities and delivery of humanitarian aid.
But neither the US nor Russian governments disclosed details about how precisely any possible future military coordination would work between the former Cold War foes. And the ceasefire quickly collapsed, making the possibility of future US-Russia cooperation look remote.
