18. Similar to his response to Covid-19..

Get's briefed but does nothing, if it hurts his election chances..

3. And the White House Press Secretary claimed Trump didn't know about it.

Their only answer is that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES was not briefed on this intelligence.

Wrap your head around that. A foreign power has placed a bounty on the lives of United States and U.K. military personnel and the White House is claiming that the president did not know about it.

If that is actually the truth then the President of The United States needs to resign for failing to perform his duties as The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

This is must be the end of the Trump presidency if we are to continue as a stable nation.

12. Gotta wonder if "Putin's chef" Yevgeny Prigozhin (runs IRA AND mercs) is involved here

...Prigozhin has been linked to a mercenary group known as the Wagner Group which has been involved in various actions as a private military contractor. On 7 February 2018, Wagner attacked US backed Kurdish forces in Syria in an attempt to take an oil field. Wagner and their allies suffered dozens of casualties when the US responded with airpower....[28]
