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 Houses 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.

Im still not able to watch TV but I hope he is being eviscerated on the Saturday morning news shows.
Itd be one thing for him to know and do nothingtypical, just like with the virusbut to know and then to actively campaign for Russia to be allowed back into the G8... that is absolutely shocking. There can be no doubt that Putin has total control over him after this.

(53,410 posts)I feel exactly the way she does. We are living in insane times when there is no justification for it. The fact that Trump is condoning Putin paying bounties on American troops is as insane as it gets.
