Russia has proposed military talks with the United States on Syria, and the United States is considering next steps, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Wednesday.<br />"The Russians proposed ... that we have military-to-military conversation ...to discuss what precisely what will be done to deconflict with respect to any potential risks that might be run and to have a complete and clear understanding as to the road ahead and what the intentions are," Kerry told reporters after meeting his South African counterpart.<br />Moscow has come under increased international pressure in recent days to explain its increased military presence in Syria, which the Pentagon has suggested are plans to establish a forward air operating base at Latakia.
