Is there any truth to this news report?

Unread post by Seamajor »

Knowing Trumps special feeling for Putin, and the fact that T doesn’t recall this briefing makes me think it’s just another nasty little issue not worth worrying about. If it is true, Trump should pay the ultimate price. Didn’t Trump tell us, he’s defeated the Taliban?

The role (if any) of the Russian Government in funding the targeting of US troops is currently moot. Anyone who claims that the Taliban has been defeated is a fool, a liar, or perhaps both. The fact that the Taliban controls both rural and urban areas of Afghanistan is indisputable.Afghan government officials will be hoping that the Wuhan abates in time for them to comfortably flee the place and reuinte with their looted fortunes ahead of what past experience indicates will be a bloody retribution.
Mr Trump's inclination appears to be get the fuck out of there (just like Obama), and it is difficult to see any alternative viable strategy aside from being willing to maintain a costly state of war into a third decade. One of the reasons that I voted for President Trump was his policy of shifting the US away from being the world's cop. In the 21st century that will be five-star china's job. They can actually drive to Afghanistan, but they are probably way too smart to do so. They'll just form a few dummy corporations to extract A'stan mineral wealth (rare earths) set up a more robust opium economy and sit back. Maybe do a few public health related projects that the talibs can take credit for and build a freight railway to help facilitate movement of natural resources to china and the import of Chinese goods into the country.

So in other words you believe this news report is bogus? I believe Trump will kiss Putin’s ass for the rest of eternity. Does this absolutely mean there was never a bounty on the heads of US Soldiers?

Are you serious? Guess where Trump will defect to, after he’s ousted in November to avoid prosecution. That is if he doesn’t step down first. Trump is no more than Putin’s water boy. Russia is crooked and corrupt.

I said it was moot, not bogus. Neither you nor I know. One thing that we do know is that in Syria Trump had the US military assault a town held by Russian mercenaries and between 200 and 300 of them ended up toe tagged. The Russians were employees of ChVK Vagner and the action, conducted largely by air and conventional 155mm howitzer batteries, took place the night of Feb7th and 8th 2018. Apparently Ivan never saw that coming.Confirmed by both signals intel and human intel sources.

You’re right neither one of knows for sure, yet knowing Trump and his short attentions span, his admiration of Putin, his poor memory, I’d go with he was aware. Russian Mercenaries? I’m thinking they could be anyone’s Mercenaries, from anywhere, and probably Middle Eastern fighters. I would mind seeing a link related to the Mercenaries

You are quite incorrect; ChVK Vagner is an actual thing...think Blackwater on steroids. It is easy to check up on should you care to. It is run by a Putin Pal. It is largely recruited from Spetsnaz alumni with specialist-skilled odds and sods slotted in when needed. It is currently active in Libya and Venezuela and has been active in Africa proper and Madagascar. You can look this shit up in conventional open source intel fashion. Trust me or not on this, but you know less about this than I do about commercial wiring. I'll take your word on That. ;)

Ya know I’m finding no proof of this. Maybe you can cough up something up. Either way, it’s another Buffoon fuck up. Especially if it cost US tax payers money, re. US soldiers or paid for forces. Amazing to me anyone can defend this idiot.

Really?! there's this thing called Google, old boy. Go to the google box and type "ChVk Vagner". then hit enter. You'll be amazed if not gratified. Thank me later.

Pretty much. Democrats had a chance and they blew it again. They are so deep in the swamp that the best candidate they could produce after last years debacle was an old, senile, women and kids fondling, sneering caricature of a man.
