U.S. intelligence officials found that a Russian intelligence group secretly offered the Taliban rewards for killing coalition forces – including Americans — in Afghanistan.
Officials close to the matter told New York Times on Friday that the Russian intelligence unit had given the Taliban bounty money for successful attacks on coalition forces, though the number of paid bounty attacks was not clear.
In 2019, 20 Americans were killed in combat incidents in Afghanistan, and some may have been attacks for which the Taliban was paid by the Russian unit. More
If this is true, it is an act of war, and putin needs to pay.
One thing is sure, you can believe the Taliban. s/o
“told New York Times” says it all.
Sure they have, Got to be true!!
Not to excuse Putin and Russia if this is true, but if Russia is doing this, then China is doing this x 10.
What would we expect them to do? The CIA did the same thing when the USSR was at war in Afghanistan in the ’80s. It’s stupid for us to be in Afghanistan at all, now or ever.
Something should definitely be done to pay the Russians back though, simply as payback for dead GIs.
Russians in Libya & Syria a target rich environment 🧨🧨🧨
They’ve been harassing our planes in international territory as well.
Kick them out of any respectable world diplomatic and trade organizations.
Let’s stop pretending. He gave them a chance and they fucked it up. North Korea, China, all of them.
Isolate and shut off all trade.
The Russians were (allegedly) offering bounties for United States mercenaries. The *exact* same way United States mercenaries offer bounties, for *everybody*.
And Americans… and Canadians… and Zimbabweans… should care… why?
No. Specifically. You, who declares Americans the enemy. Why should Americans care that *anyone* offers bounties for United States mercenaries.
