Good guy

Here is retired Four-Star General Barry McCaffery's take on the matter.

Yay
Msnbc
Lol
Thanks

The pertinent take on the matter is the opinions of General McCaffery, not the NEWS network. LoL

I take it your more partial to the likes of Trump's favorite One America News Network as opposed to MSNBC?

Anyhoo that's a military man, that understands the situation and procedures, with over 50 years service under his belt.

Make of it what you will. x

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

LINK

WASHINGTON — 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 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.

Interesting story and very ugly for our troops.

If true then this should be dealt with.

If Iran did that they would be ready for retaliation.

Rule of thumb: If the NYTimes blames Russia, it is NOT Russia.

It was actually CHINA offering bounties/rewards for killing America soldiers.

CHINA...paying rewards to U.S. politicians and U.S. Mainstream Media to outright LIE, to CHEAT during elections, and also blame President Trump for anything and everything negative.
