Russia says it will not fight under NATO command, and now the UN now wants a piece of the pie.

(1) Since a recent article discussed the continued decline of health of Russian troops, maybe it is better that they are separate from our troops. Russian troops had an (especially) high (and increasing) rate of TB, as well as other illnesses. Suicide was also high and increasing.

(2) Not being under joint command allows for misunderstandings and confrontations. Mo' bettah we work togedda.

(3) Not being under joint comand allows one group to prepare to attack the other...Nah, that wouldn't happen.
