Latest I've read on bountygate is that Trump was aware this was occurring sometime in 2019. It's bad enough if he knew in March 2020 and did nothing...but even further back than that with no statements or actions? It's almost like he's trying to lose the election at this point. It's so horrifying that it's almost comical. If you wrote a playbook for things not to do whilst trying to win reelection, it would read like the news feed of everything Trump is currently doing.
This is literal treason.
Imagine the cognitive dissonance required of the “Support our troops” MAGAs to close their eyes to this.
Please enlighten me puzzling foreigner.
If I got that right, "Bountygate" is that Russia paid Taliban for each kill they achieved of US soldiers, right?
Putting aside that this a reasonably usual strategy, no surprise tactics... why is the US enraged about this?
It was the US that financed, trained and equipped the Taliban to fight against an invasion in their country - done by Russia.
So why it is that rage inducing when Russia pays Taliban to fight against an invasion in their country, this time done by the US? Nothing more than quid pro quo, you could say.
