Russian Assassination Units Against US Soldiers

[Camp]

Finance it with what? Are you willing to pay higher taxes for this?

Low-interest guaranteed loans.

We've collapsed our economy over those. Why is it if they are needed that other countries can't just build them?

We are the ones being offended by Russia as are NATO troops. Years ago, before Trump, the USA was a world leader and American Presidents were respected and listened to. The good 'old days.

How is Russia offending us? Washington has numerous sanctions on them, surrounded their nation with offensive military forces, and threatens them with destruction on a regular basis.

When will you ever learn? They are no threat to the dominance and imperialism of the criminal US government.

You might be the biggest dupe for the oligarchy, on this board.

So might you be the biggest dupe on this board? I attack Russia and you attack the USA. I am for America and you are, well, something else. I will always be against targeting American troops. You defend it.

American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops — amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The United States concluded months ago that the Russian unit, which has been linked to assassination attempts and other covert operations in Europe intended to destabilize the West or take revenge on turncoats, had covertly offered rewards for successful attacks last year.

Islamist militants, or armed criminal elements closely associated with them, are believed to have collected some bounty money, the officials said. Twenty Americans were killed in combat in Afghanistan in 2019, but it was not clear which killings were under suspicion.

The Trump administration has been deliberating for months about what to do about a stunning intelligence assessment.

What has been the Trump Administration response? Silence.

Not only has Trump been silent in condemning Russia but Trump has actually rewarded Russia and Putin by pushing for Russian admittance to the G-7 after the were made aware of the Russians encouraging and paying militants to kill American troops in Afghanistan.

It is disgraceful.

He apparently wasn't briefed........but thanks for playing....

So...the Taliban needed Russians to pay them to kill Americans?

The Russians wanted to kill Americans?

Wow...breaking news...right?

Iran had a bounty of U.S. Troops in 2010 obama did nothing

No doubt it was a lie too, made up by the crooks in the MIC.

I don't recall any leftist here at USMB complaining about Obama not taking action.

Why twist yourself in to a pretzel to defend the President on his lack of action or concern for the military assassinations, Marion?

You were quite when Iran did this in 2010.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

You may have heard that Russia paid the Taliban to kill USA troops.
The Washington Post is not reporting that the CIA confirmed US troops were killed add a result:
Is Trump knew but did nothing, he should be impeached again. Nothing in the Constitution limits impeachment to one instance. This is even worse than the Ukraine thing:

The disturbing intelligence — which the CIA was tasked with reviewing, and later confirmed — generated disagreement about the appropriate path forward, a senior U.S. official said. The administration’s special envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, preferred confronting the Russians directly about the matter, while some National Security Council officials in charge of Russia were more dismissive of taking immediate action, the official said.

It remained unclear where those discussions have led to date. Verifying such intelligence is a process that can take weeks, typically involving the CIA and the National Security Agency, which captures foreign cellphone and radio communications. Final drafting of any policy options in response would be the responsibility of national security adviser Robert C. O’Brien.

The CIA assessment took some time, and coincided with the scaling back and slowing down of a number of government functions as the coronavirus pandemic began to take hold, two people said.

Asked to comment, John Ullyot, an NSC spokesman, said that “the veracity of the underlying allegations continue to be evaluated.” The CIA and the Defense and State departments declined to comment.

Lie lies and more lies. Stop being a dupe of the oligarchy.

Here’s Dan Rather doing a 1980 report appealing for more US covert arms shipments and funding (bounties?) for Islamist militants to kill Russian soldiers in Afghanistan. The irony of the freak out over the CIA-manufactured #BountyGate can’t be understated.

“The intelligence finding was briefed to President Trump, and the White House’s National Security Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March, the officials said. Officials developed a menu of potential options — starting with making a diplomatic complaint to Moscow and a demand that it stop, along with an escalating series of sanctions and other possible responses, but the White House has yet to authorize any step, the officials said.” ibid

[Care4all]

Even when we catch Russians paying to murder Americans and Trump doing nothing about it, sucking slurping tea bagger trumpoholics will defend fellow traitor Liar in Chief Trump.

What are you wanting him to do? Start a war with Russia?

We did the same towards Russia. Should Russia have attacked the US?

Trump should at the very least not be pulling troops from Germany and weakening NATO, campaigning for Russia's re-entry into G-7, and re-install sanctions he has eliminated. He has a long list of options if he would stand up and stop being a Putin ass kisser.

We should be pulling troops from everywhere or are you suggesting Russia do the same and if not, why not?

We are the world superpower. We earned it. We use our military for protecting our commercial interests all over the world. If you wish to change 85 years of American policy, go for it, but you will have to earn it.

It's coming.

This story about Russia paying for dead American troops is likely a CIA false flag. The story is bogus bull shit. Per Max Blumenthal...A dubious story about Russia paying bounties to the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan appeared in the New York Times. It was sourced entirely to "American intelligence officials."

It could be bogus. It wouldn't surprise me but still, we did it to them so..........

So...how is this any different than what we did? The most important question is' Why in the hell are we there in the first place?

First reply and this thread is over. I will never understand how we get so upset at countries that do the very thing we have done.

It's easy. If you don't want our soldiers targeted, bring them home where they belong. When you do stupid things, bad things will happen.

There is nothing to disagree with in your post. The issue is why is the Trump Administration silent while Russians target US troops in Afghanistan? Why hasn’t Trump condemned Russia? Why is Trump still pushing for Russian membership in the G-7? Why isn’t the Administration contemplating additional Sanctions against Russia?

I am not nor will I ever be a Trump supporter but like I said, how does one condemn someone else for something we so readily do ourselves?

When has the US sat back, so other countries can put bounties on American soldiers in combat, and have that intelligence at our disposal, proving it was going on? I know of none. Worst administration in history. 5 Benghazi's is what this is.

I've asked this more than once. What are you looking for? A new war?

So, because I tell the truth, I want war? Is that a serious question?

I asked you what you want him to do. It's a simple question.

President Trump should not be groveling at Putin's feet for one, by begging for Russia to be brought back in to the G8...

I think the more we bring the countries together the better off we are. That noted, if Trump counters Russia involvement in the G8 is that going to solve this issue?

First, Putin deserved to be kicked out of the G8...And they would have been remiss if they had not kicked him out, for his actions. Much like the looters and rioters, should have been stopped and arrested right then and there for their criminal and violent actions... So to nip it in the bud, imo.

Kicking him out was well deserved, and was a PEACEFUL means of reacting to his illegal invasions...

Putin has been dying to get back in to it...to be part of the world leaders... And once trump became President, was his best chance of that happening.... thus Putin ordering his people to support Trump being elected, and their interference. The candidate Trump, will now owe Putin.... He is KGB trained.... knows how to sump up people, and knows kompromat well.

Trump has been pushing for it, ever since.... Putin summed him up well...imo.

So, with a compromised person in the Whitehouse at his side, it has emboldened him to do some pretty horrible things, and know he won't be punished for it, due to Trump interference for him.... like the poisonings of Russians in the UK...the Ukraine aggression continuation... the denial of Russians interfering in our elections... And now, letting Putin pay bounties on American military guys in Afghanistan...if actually true...

I don't want a war with anyone... I know what it's like to have your daddy fighting a war...wondering whether he will survive the year... praying morning noon and night that your daddy will not be killed in VietNam... And for what? I don't wish that...on any family!!

but I also do not believe we should be cozying up to an untrustworthy foreign thug, as in Putin, either.... that would be like cozying up to the looters and violent rioters, no?

Diplomacy, while holding a big stick (but not using it)...... is an art.

Lets be serious for 1 moment.

Of course countries do this type of thing to each other all of the time.
Most likely a Deep State-Nonelected Bureaucracy leak to the anti President Trump press.
Whether accurate or even out of the ordinary - it shouldn't be leaked and our President ( whoever it is) should not acknowledge it in public.

Once it is acknowledged choices are totally limited -

So, the only reason it was leaked was to damage the President and the USA.

After 911 there was $100,000 bounty on US servicemen and a $25,000 bounty on just a US uniform.
The media didn't talk about it even though they didn't like President Bush either, they simply had not yet moved into destroy America to get the President mode yet.

Now they have.

Yep......Trump is the only man standing between the citizens and the bureaucrats in the government and their political party, the democrats......they will do everything in their power to get rid of Trump.

Trump is owned by Putin is the headline.
