dax, I know it's hard to find a way to defend/deflect for trump and this is a prime example of why it's ok to sit one out occasionally, no matter how MAGA you are.
As I said, it bothers me that very low IQ people actually believe that Putin and Russia just started something like this while Drumpf was in office.
i know they teach little history these days. But Vlad Putin has been around for a long time, and remembers well what the United States did to the Russian Army in Afghanistan. This lack of understanding is in lockstep with the very very low IQ people who actually believe these kinds of things are only because of Drumpf.
The issue would be more he knew about it and didn't do anything about it or is calling it fake news. I would agree that I doubt it started just under your hero, but if previous admins knew about it and did nothing, huge deal, and I would expect trump to parrot that all the live long day about obama effing that up, but if they didn't know and it wasn't found out until trump was in power (which is what this looks like), then why else do anything than what trump did right now.
And I don't think it's because our intel community got magically better in 3 years. Either someone was withholding info or something came out recently, which the later is what this looks like
Well let's first start out with the source. This is the same source that within the last year has demanded that Drumpf fix things with Russia and also suggested that Drumpf hire ISIS to kill Russians and Syrians.
Didn't realize NYT was employing Pompeo
Both the DOD and DNI are saying that this was not corroborated information and was not fully vetted. They've now gone on to say that these leaks will now likely make it impossible to determine if any of this is factual.
The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that White House officials were first informed in early 2019 of intelligence reports that Russia was offering the bounties to kill U.S. and coalition military personnel, but the information was deemed sketchy and in need of additional confirmation, according to people familiar with the matter.
Just admit that this is just another hit piece designed to hurt DJT. Ask yourself why we're even still in Afghanistan and why an $800 billion dollar war machine needs feet on the ground in order to hold back some dudes with AK's living on piles of rocks. Living among tens of thousands of people who have never wanted us there to begin with.
The Party for Perpetual War/The New NeoCons don't want U.S. troops to come home.
Read the ex filtrated, not hacked copies Hillary's DNC Emails. It gives you the perfect picture of a psychotic lunatic hell bent on ensuring the United States was forever at war in the Middle East. That's who these people are, that's who your party wants running the country.
Lol, aside from your usual rhetoric, calling it a hit piece is delicious, as if it's considered a hit piece when pubs, and senators were briefed on the intel and then you report on it. I suppose you can spin it in your mind however you want, that's your cause but the fact is it happened. DOD sure hasn't corrobed, and maybe it'll be a nothing burger, but you can't have congress briefed on it, say "yup this is serious and worth investigating" have the prez say "it's a hoax shut up" and sit there wondering why the eff he doesn't think it's serious if it's worth telling congress.
Also stop projecting yourself onto others, you'll do better in life.
