I think this timeline is correct:
February 2019: our intelligence community alerts trump in a daily briefing that Putin had put a bounty on the heads of American soldiers in Afghanistan.
March 2019: Just in case trump hadn't gotten the message or didn't understand the gravity of the bounties on American soldiers, John Bolton discussed the situation with that orange traitor in the White House.
April 2019: Three American soldiers are killed when they are ambushed by the Taliban.

And while no one was doing anything to protect the soldiers, Trump was inviting Russia back to the G7, and when the others objected, he cancelled the meeting. And then he lovingly gave Putin the gift of removing our troops from Germany, something Putin wants very much, and we should think about WHY he wants that so much.
