Ok. Now my spider senses are tingling and I'm becoming concerned!

US Defense Secretary Austin spoke again 23 Oct with his Russian counterpart Sergey Shoygu - who requested the conversation. 2nd time in 3 days they've spoken. According to the Pentagon: "Austin rejected any pretext for Russian escalation...." pic.twitter.com/oI8lFbYgdR

Something big is up.

I don't know what it is but something ominous is brewing.

Why do I say that?

US intelligence has been damn near miraculous in the fight between Russia and Ukraine.

Having said that, you suddenly have our SecDef calling his counterpart in Russia.  I actually read the readout of the conversation and it was vague as hell.

NOW!

Now we have the Russian SecDef calling our (the US) SecDef?  He requested the conversation?  Its the 2nd time in 3 days that they've spoken?

AFTER MONTHS OF ACTING AS IF EACH OTHER DIDN'T EXIST?

I don't know what's coming.  I'm sure the Pentagon/CIA/DIA does.

My spider sense is tingling.  We're seeing upper level contacts that has been few and far between as of late.  

So yeah.  I'm concerned.
