Russia intelligence paying bounty on U.S. troops

[flenna]

The latest headline is that the Russians were paying a bounty to taliban fighters for killing U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. The new question is when did the White House know about it? It seems the NYT has a direct line to our intelligence agencies and gets briefings before anyone else. Anyhow, at this point I have no idea what to believe about anything. Everything has become a political football to the point the truth gets completely obfuscated.

And I know a retired SF guy who sent people to Afghanistan in the 80's to train the Mujahideen on the use of Stinger missiles. One of his guys may or may not have given a "practical application" in the course by shooting one or more himself. That did not deter Gorbachev and Reagan from detente' did it?

This is just more of the endless bullshit to make Trump look bad. Go figure.

Even if White House knew why exactly does any of this matter???

I mean people are shocked that there’s an entire world of geopolitical wrangling going on in the dark between world super powers?

Trump is all in love with Russia, except for when we slaughtered this RUS mercs in Syria with everything from mortars to an Neo-ARC Light strike.

The damage is done, another Knick at DJT, and the press moves on to the next MSM/DNC hit piece, one per week until the election. Make a claim, don’t even defend or follow-up, and move on. Drive-by treason.

People would lose their friggin minds if they found out the Taliban and Al Qeada were paying bounties for US Service Members deployed to Afghanistan.

This is legit its the same source as the pee tapes and the other collusion info we have our informant told us it was real !!!!!

Our enemies actually want to kill us OH I need to go hug a terrorist now so I can have energy to defund the police

This is basically what I think about the whole thing. Although now there are GOP Congress critters jumping on the bandwagon.

I always wondered if John McCain got a commission on every war shot...

Mattis left after Trump started talking about the pullout from Syria. I'd dare say Bolton left in a huff because Trump wasn't starting wars on his behalf.

It's way past time to pull everything from Afghanistan and remember what every nation that's every invaded has learned...

You don't win in Afghanistan.
