Bounties on US troops by Russia

[Doomsought]

An intelligence agency is basically a bureaucracy trying to verify a rumor mill. For every good bit of intel you get, you also get one report of space aliens invading, three reports that are shit just made up do to someone being upset about a stolen girlfriend or eloped daughter, two stories made up on the spot by a drunk, one enemy counter intelligence op and two of your own counter intelligence ops.

Most of the Humvee in US Army are unarmored utility vehicles, uparmored variants were assigned to units deploying in Iraq and Afganistan. These variants also have shortened life span due to engine and suspension struggling with added weight.

You could be surprised here actually. Any unit with combat capabilities and some that happen to have them and MAX MRAPs in my Unit...

This is so correct

I hope all resistors and "true conservatives" at the Lincoln project who fell for this psyop are happy with this!!!

They cant actually do that. If Trump pulls out troops than he pulls them out. He is the commander in chief and they answer to him.

 

[Bacle]

Congress really seems to act fast when it comes to protecting their forever wars.

I hope all that opium and rare Earth elements in A-stan are worth all the lives and money wasted on that shithole.

Who's going to stop them though?

In the long term, they are not worth it; but at least you can rest assured that the rich and powerful, got more rich and more powerful, off of the backs of all those corpses.

Who's going to stop them though?

The American public. If Trump pulls the troops out and sends them home or elsewhere not in a battlezone that means that more families will see their loved ones in uniform again. Both the Senate and Congress know that ultimately they answer to their constituents and the American people as a whole. And that they can just as easily be vote out of office if they wind up going too far.

Yes but in the words of Pelosi their districts would vote for a glass of water if it had a D on it.

How many people in Pelosi's district are currently serving the military?

 

[Hlaalu Agent]

Well, honestly if they somehow did it would be a massive improvement over the average democrat anyways, since a glass of water can't create destructive policy, and intentionally fuck over the people they supposedly are standing for. Also a glass of water can be of some use to someone.

 

[Doomsought]

You know what would be a smart move? Declassifying a bunch of silly nonsensical intelligence reports along with the reasons that they were rejected.

Lol Political timelines...

Might've been a good idea to do that in 2011 when we withdrew from Iraq considering ISIS rose a few months later and we had to flood back in again a few years later.

Blame communism

mike-flynn-asked-russian-ambassador-kislyak-for-alliance-against-radical-islamists
Flynn-Kislyak call transcripts released, revealing fateful talks over Russia sanctions

That is what General Micheal Flynn was doing during the transitional period between Obama and Trump Administration in 2017, He was trying to create a Alliance with Russia to deal with Radical Islamists.

the same phone call that got Mike Flynn persecuted and charged but thankfully were drop by AG William(Bill)"Honey Badger of Justice"Barr D.O.J when he investigated Mike Flynn Investigation and saw wrong doing.

we could have had a alliance with Russia, if ObamaGate Crew didn't do their political witchhunt/shadow coup.

It still makes me mad how bullshit that whole thing was. Literally all he did was politely ask Russia not to escalate beyond responding proportionally to pre-existing sanctions. Any law which makes such an action by the chief of national security is bullshit.

Most of the Humvee in US Army are unarmored utility vehicles, uparmored variants were assigned to units deploying in Iraq and Afganistan. These variants also have shortened life span due to engine and suspension struggling with added weight.

Which is precisely why we should not deploy them in places that are not active warzones.

I hope all resistors and "true conservatives" at the Lincoln project who fell for this psyop are happy with this!!!

And the train of stupidity and hypocrisy keeps chugging. Now it's turning jackasses into mindless warhawks.

Unless he was ordred too, or given permission by the US Gov anyone of his position is barred from going to or even talking to Russia or its Military/Government. Same with China, Iran and North korea

 

[Husky_Khan]

It looked like a stupid article in the first place.

It's wholly dependent on anonymous intelligence officials who derived this intelligence from captured Afghan terrorists. criminals and insurgents.

Not exactly the most reliable pipeline of intelligence to base national policy or engage in retaliation for.

Plus I'm not sure the point or payoff for Russia in offering bounties to already anti-American insurgencies to kill more Americans? Like... your risking an escalation of conflict if true and if it does come out and is confirmed and the tradeoff is what? A few more American bodybags maybe?

Maybe if Russia was paying the Taliban in an effort to derail the Peace Process in Afghanistan, THAT would make sense, but I don't think any of the media sources intimated that. I could be wrong.

What do you gotta say now Fascist?



Oh wait... wrong link...

Here we go.

“The United States intelligence community assesses with low to moderate confidence that Russian intelligence officers sought to encourage Taliban attacks against U.S. coalition personnel in Afghanistan in 2019, including through financial incentives and compensation,” a senior administration official told reporters on Thursday.

There may not have been Russian bounties on US troops in Afghanistan after all

An administration official expressed "low to moderate" confidence in reports from 2020.
