Russia paid the Taliban bounties for dead US troops—White House does nothing

[zzyzxroad]

I stand by my comments and my latter post reaffirms the first.

You’ve got some serious issues.

I think you struck a nerve.

I don’t take kindly to zealots, especially when they start derailing discussions with known false information.

I guess this guy was lying under oath right?

Pentagon chief confirms he was briefed on intelligence about Russian payments to the Taliban

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed Thursday that he had been briefed on information regarding Russian payments to the Taliban, seemingly acknowledging that Russia's support for the militant group in Afghanistan is not a "hoax," as President Donald Trump has claimed. However, Esper also...

So are you leftists going to hate Colin Powell now?

Colin Powell on Russia bounty story: Coverage became 'almost hysterical'

At any rate... please check the term blowback. The blame for any Russian involvement lies squarely with obama and biden (with hillary thrown in for good measure).

So what did those 3 do with all the leftover weapons from their Libya bombing campaign? Thats right, these three decided to send them to anti-government groups in Syria (some of those groups were affiliated with ISIS). So from a Russian perspective you have the U.S. government arming the same people the Russians are fighting in Syria. And people expect Russia to sit back and do nothing?

Well since he has been retired for 15 years now... his opinion will pretty much doesn't matter.

Coverage is becoming hysterical? He's obviously never watched Fox News.

People out of the game still have relevant experience and usually maintain ties and relationships to the institutions in which they served. I wouldn't consider their opinions irrelevent.

So the topic is Trump being aware of certain events and choosing to do nothing (aside from labelling it a hoax). Your contribution to this topic is what exactly?

Considering he's a big part of the blame for the entire situation to begin with, I have no problem calling him a hypocritical piece of shit. I take it you assume liberals would like him because he's black and voted for Obama? So do you now hate Reagan since you seem to love Russia and Reagan literally called them the devil?

I do love how you completely ignore what happened before then that created those situations. Plus how you ignore that it was Republicans pushing for that shit (McCain and Graham for instance).

In the future, honk your nose to signal your clown show beginning.

I agree with you but this administration has been denying access and etc if you do not have current clearance..

It's been a week since the rest of America learned about the bounties. Has Trump taken any action against Russia?

hint: I think Rudder assumes liberals must love Powell because "he is a Colored."

...I really have no other explanation for what the fuck that shitbrain is thinking with that comment, tbh.

lol. this kind of stuff happens when the illiterates find the internet.

at this rate, I'm going to deal with the leaking radiator feed pipe (I hope that's the problem) that has rotted a hole through my downstairs ceiling, before POTUS does anything about an enemy nation nation paying bounties to terrorists to murder our soldiers.

(I discovered my ceiling problem 2 days ago)

 

[Blackjack200]

More U.S. officials say intel on Russian bounties wasn't conclusive

But the debate over that narrow issue obscures a larger consensus. U.S. intel agencies have long assessed that Russia backs our enemies in Afghanistan.

Yeah, this is very funny:

“Now, the debate is over whether the Russians bribed Taliban militants to kill Americans, or just helped them in a general way.”

It easy to muddy the waters with “government sources” if you repeat it enough, especially when folks like you want classified documents in plain sight to understand the nuances.

It seems that either is bad given the crickets on Russia from this administration. You read it as it supports your view of the situation, but does it?

He’s the simple form. By hearing about it and not doing anything about it regardless if it is true or false, we have told Russia it is acceptable to put a bounty on service people’s heads. We will not do anything about it.

The word bounty was never used. Case closed /s
