“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,” the newspaper reported,” the newspaper reported.
“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,” the newspaper explained. “Any involvement with the Taliban that resulted in the deaths of American troops would also be a huge escalation of Russia’s so-called hybrid war against the United States, a strategy of destabilizing adversaries through a combination of such tactics as cyberattacks, the spread of fake news and covert and deniable military operations.”

Here we have Pooty's Russia offering the Taliban bounties on American soldiers. And Trump knew this and did nothing. Sat there with his thumb up his fat ass. This may b the "October Surprise" come early for Trump. I am quite sure this will not be greeted with approval from American military service men and women, or American veterans. And where were the U.S. Senators and Congressmen? Were they informed of this, or not? And if not, why not? And if so, why no action? And we will see if Pelosi demands immediate hearings, or decides not to bother us with any of that.
Will this grotesque scandal finally put the final nail in Trump's re-election effort? Will this just be another scandal to flap over for awhile and then forget as usual? This is an opposition researcher's dream.
