Afghan Contractor Handed Out Russian Cash to Kill Americans, Officials Say

A small-time businessman became a key middleman [for Russia] for bounties on coalition troops in Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence reports say. Friends saw him grow rich, but didn’t know how.

Now, Trump says it is a hoax concocted by democrats despite mounting evidence that this is really happening

Trump is betraying America, it's clear as day, there is no escaping this one, righties.

 

Trump was betraying us even before he took office.

 

I guess we're waiting for the Hannity talking points to be distributed for parroting....

 

It certainly looks bad for a "Law & Order President".

It is unfathomable to me to think anyone at this point in time can still cling to believing this clown has anyone's interest in mind other than his own.

 

No...he was a tax cheat, a conman, swindler, shyster, liar and adulterer, but none of that would qualify as betrayal of the US not until he surprised himself and became president. I say surprised because he never intended to win and thus learn something about the office he was running for. We have taken a man with all the previously mentioned characteristics and placed him in the most powerful position in the world. He was never going to drain the swamp, he was just going to fill it with his own personal menagerie.

The thing is that we as a society have a complex relationship with how we view this class of criminal. On one hand we publicly acknowledge the actions of these types of criminal as being bad for society, but on the other hand, we also like to romanticize them. How close do they come to being like a Tony Soprano, Gordon Gekko, Walter White, or any other of a dozen fictional villains that we have loved to hate. In this regard, Trump has succeeded in tapping an audience that can't distinguish fantasy from reality. He's a damn good entertainer, but President of the United States? He gets an F-. This conman is the embodiment of self-interest, just pure narcissism.

 

Oh yeah. He's done for this time!!!! Ha ha ha The other 15 BS hoaxes we tried didnt do the trick, but this one will work. Oh yeah...

 

I guess I don't understand what the big deal is. Do the Dems want to go to war with Russia now? What do they think Trump should have done about it? Spank their rear end?

If true, Russia bad. So is this news to anyone?
If false, it's not a news story.

Either way, who cares.

 

You know, I never thought he was that good of an entertainer, I think I watched his TV show for a couple of minutes, and changed the channel. When Trump was a lot younger, he was a fairly charming guy, but what an ego maniac! He's definitely faded in looks and charm, he looks tired, beat. The crows are coming home to roost on his transgressions to the American People. But, watching Obama at the press club, damn, Obama can really deliver a joke with the best of them. The contrast between Trump and Obama is night and day, like comparing a pig to a suave, gentle, charming, compassionate, empathetic, human being, all qualities clearly absent in Trump.

 

To provide context for everybody, more Americans have been killed by the Democratic/MSM supported riots of the past month than the last five years of occupation in Afghanistan. To provide even further context, the average number of Americans killed in Afghanistan per year under Trump is SIGNIFICANTLY less than any other president. For people who actually care about the lives of American soldiers and who have relatives that serve, that is by far the most significant metric. In other words, this is a nothing burger at best, fake news (propaganda) at worst.

 

Democrats do not support riots. Only criminals support riots, most riots are outrage responses due to white cops shooting unarmed blacks, or getting away with shooting blacks in courts, they are not premeditated, they are reactionary,. Democrats do not support Antifa, they are a mish mash of ad hoc groups, and lack organization. . Democrats do not support domestic violence of any kind

Most of the cases of domestic terrorism in the United States conducted in the last 20 years were far right wing groups. Right wing hate groups are funded, well thought out, with hierarchies, and the like.

But, of course, you could argue that those right wing groups are extremists, and not approved of by republicans in general, just as democrats in general do not support rioting or antifa, facts which you disingenuously omit. However, since you have chose to go down this road, if any party has proved that it's given to criminality, structural embedded criminality at the highest level of the GOP, it is republican administrations, to wit:

 

Complete nonsense.

Even if true, which highly doubtful, 100% Nothing Burger.

Democrats: Beyond desperate

Trump : A lock for a second term in the White House

 

Ain't it something?

The desperation is palpable.

 

The breadth and depth of Trump's corruption is boundless.

 

What I find strange about this is everyone asked directly about this has denied it but not a single person is willing to put a name to this.. We are being told by CNN and the Times that these conversations ( leaks) have been ongoing for months.....

 

Source less charts are meaningless but Its probably the best you can do.....

 

seems like the Times is repeating the same unverified rumors that never got to the president.

 

In my view he betrayed the US, his country, my country, your country when he invited Russian to meddle in the election process. Sure his sycophants say that he was joking.

 

Exactly

 

Why does the number of dead matter to the notion that Trump did nothing in the face of such a campaign by the Russians?

Seems like a distraction from the central issue to me...

 

And how much money did the coalition pour into Afghanistan to kill the Taliban?

 

Seems Trump supporters don't care about state sponsored military and terrorism against USA troops. Ironic they call themselves patriots.

 

The level of detail indicates that this is a factual story

 

Seems like dems are forgetting that Russia has been in Afghanstain since the 70's. Somehow it slipped your mind Russia was working with the Taliban to eliminate ISIS, they hate ISIS more than we do, you think that money could have been for that? We'll see but this story is falling on his face fast, they had a Taliban captured and the house had 500k in it. He was fighting ISIS but did attack a American convoy so the times said the 500k was for American lives which he didn't take.

 

Seems Trump supporters need to refresh their history and know Russia pulled out of Afghanistan. Then after they brace that, they could learn the Taliban and ISIS are not one of the same.

Then I would like to see the data about ISIS and the Taliban fighting each other.

 

How is he "betraying America" by the actions of an Afghani, acting as a middle man for the Russians to pay to kill Americans. Is this actionable intel? It appears that way, so for starters, freeze any assets this Afghani has. Then charge him internationally as a terrorist and hunt him down. Capture alive ideally, if the MF'er is dead then he's dead.

As far as Russia? Russia recently begged us not to put US troops on Poland, well let's put some US troops on Poland. Better yet, let's enter an mutual alliance treaty with the Polish. Literally box the Russians in, knowing Americans will use full force to defend Poland.

It's the show of strength, and ideally not the use of it. We'll stop short of using force...for now.
