Putin paid bounty money to Talibans who killed American troops

Or we could stay in Afghanistan and impose crippling sanctions. I like that idea better.

 

Now the White House is saying they were never briefed about this

 

I wonder if more will come out to contradict that.

 

If more does come out, it will be called back fake news. Russia has already stated such.

 

Saw that. They're even complaining that it's led to death threats against their embassy staff or some such.

Biden has chimed in:

Biden criticizes Trump for inaction over reported Russian bounties

...

Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate set to challenge Trump in the Nov. 3 election, said during a virtual town hall on Saturday that the Times report, if true, represents a “truly shocking revelation,” noting in particular Trump’s reported failure to retaliate.

“Not only has he failed to sanction or impose any kind of consequences on Russia for this egregious violation of international law, Donald Trump has continued his embarrassing campaign of deference and debasing himself before Vladimir Putin,” Biden said, referring to the Russian president.

Biden pledged retaliation if he becomes president.

“If I’m elected president, make no mistake about it, Vladimir Putin will be confronted and we’ll impose serious costs on Russia,” Biden said.

Liberals loved Russia when Soviet SAMs were shooting down US pilots in Vietnam. Where was the liberal outrage when Bill Klinton spent time in Russia during the Vietnam war - no doubt getting instructions from his handlers.

 

The "kissing up" is in your head. If you want a war on commies we can start right here in the US.

 

The USA will eventually be sanctioning so many countries it will be sanctioning itself.

Your rationalization for Trump has hit another low !!!!

BTW, I have not forgotten how Trump supporters allowed him to take Putin's word over USA intelligence services.

 

Some serious effort to ignore or downplay this.

Just.. mind blowing that Trump could not respond but in fact cozy up to Russia more. Be curious to see who defends and who condemns this.

 

It hurts....

 

Do you still believe in it?

 

Just like the Bolton book, McConnell has said nothing.

 

Do you hope I’m not?

 

Just heard Gumby scream again from the contortions white-wingers are undergoing to justify their TRE45ONOUS Dear Dumbass Leader.

 

Let the Reds have the country. It worked out well for them last time. Why do we have to be the ones policing a country stuck in the stone age? Let the Russians have it.

 

I think it's more along the lines of shaking his head in disbelief.

 

Did he at least do it with his shirt on? I've seen his nipples more than I have seen my own.

 

I am somewhat amazed that anyone is surprised. But, I am curious, what specifically would you suggest be done? And, accompanying your suggestions, have you given thorough consideration to all the collateral blowback consequences of your suggestions to demonstrate they are valid paths that would result in something positive for the world or are they simply emotional reactions?
What should have been Russia’s reaction to the US arming the mujahideen with stinger missiles and anti-Tank weapons when they were engaged in Afghanistan in the 80’s. Does anyone justify that because we were supporting the Islamic Afghan groups in a bid for freedom and democracy?

The US never participates in such tactics, eh?

I wonder, were the Russians supplying weapons or were the stockpiles furnished to the MidEast warring factions by the last Administration still holding out?

 

Well, not really.

But I have a feeling the Trumpsters are starting to have doubts.

 

No doubts as to what is best for the country but the campaign against him is unbelievable. Biden doesn't even play a role in it, it's all media driven. Can you point to even one positive article about the President on one of the MSN programs? One?

 

That's because fewer people want him as President.
