Russia Paid The Taliban To Hunt American Troops!

The Cold War is on.

The New York Times broke a bombshell story about the Russian Federation paying the Taliban to place hits on U.S. military officials. Donald J. Trump was informed about the bounty being placed on American troops since March. He claims he wasn't informed by U.S. intelligence.

It sparked a backlash where now both chambers of Congress. Now they are demanding Trump and the U.S. intelligence hand over information about the attacks on American troops stationed in Afghanistan.

Payback's a bitch right!

Back in the 1980s, the United States paid the Afghani tribal leaders money to force the Soviet Union out of Afghanistan. They eventually started a coalition government based off Sunni Islamic fundamentalist practices. It would become the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (known as the Taliban). The Taliban was formed in 1994 and ruled the Afghani government until the U.S. ouster of its religious mullah leader Mohammed Omar.

The Taliban offered shelter to Saudi billionaire and fundamentalist terrorist Osama bin Laden.

George W. Bush started one of the longest wars in modern history shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The Times reported that the GRU was orchresting assassinations and destablization efforts against the U.S. and NATO.

The Russian government, the Taliban and Trump have denied knowing about it.

The Fake News @ nytimes must reveal its “anonymous” source. Bet they can’t do it, this “person” probably does not even exist! https://t.co/pdg4AjybOG

The Associated Press have reported suspicions about Russia deepened when members of the elite U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group known as SEAL Team Six, raided a Taliban outpost and recovered $500,000 in early 2020.

Some U.S. officials have long believed the Federation president (for life) Vladimir Putin was acting against American interest in Afghanistan.

He basically was deliberately trying to force the U.S. to admit it lost the war in Afghanistan.

Gen. John Nicholson who then a commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan who since retired had feared this was happening. He said that Russia was supplying the Taliban with arms.

There was an attack on a convoy that killed three U.S. Marine is one of the incidents that Congress is demanding answers on.

Captured militants have confessed that Russian operatives were giving payments for every successful killing of an American military official. This has happen since 2017.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who lacks credentials to be in clandestine operations said that he "confirms that neither the President or Vice President Mike Pence were ever briefed on any intelligence alleged by the New York Times in its reporting."

The Times said that they stand by the story.

Trump slammed the Times claiming that they're fake news.
