    Default Re: The Russia bounty on US soldiers

    Senate Republicans must be exhausted trying to keep up with scandals related to Trump and crazy things he says or does almost every other day. Especially with the elections right around the corner.

    They keep getting asked but won't comment on Trump. They know they can't side with Trump without hurting their own reelection campaign with voters in their state, and they can't side against Trump without him lashing out. Senate Republicans stuck between two stones, but they have to reap what they sow.

    It is very much possible they could lose both Senate and the White House.. I can almost guarantee they will all disavow Trump and turn on him if they lose the election, and we will be hearing lots of anger & comments of how they never supported or voted for Trump. Most Republican will say they never supported or voted for Trump as if Trump was voted in by magic

    Yeah, the Senate said he won't do that type of impeachment behavior again and he just fired the Judge that has all of his finances under review. He's currently under the longest audit in human history if you listen to him.

    It was a blockbuster story about Russia’s return to the imperial “Great Game” in Afghanistan. The Kremlin had spread money around the longtime central Asian battlefield for militants to kill remaining U.S. forces. It sparked a massive outcry from Democrats and their #resistance amplifiers about the treasonous Russian puppet in the White House whose admiration for Vladimir Putin had endangered American troops.

    But on Thursday, the Biden administration announced that U.S. intelligence only had “low to moderate” confidence in the story after all. Translated from the jargon of spyworld, that means the intelligence agencies have found the story is, at best, unproven—and possibly untrue.

    “The United States intelligence community assesses with low to moderate confidence that Russian intelligence officers sought to encourage Taliban attacks U.S. and coalition personnel in Afghanistan in 2019 and perhaps earlier,” a senior administration official said.

    That Russia placed "bounties” on the heads of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan was one of the most-discussed and consequential news stories of 2020. It was also, as it turns out, one of the most baseless — as the intelligence agencies who spread it through their media spokespeople now admit, largely because the tale has fulfilled and outlived its purpose.
    When the CIA or related security state agencies tell American journalists to believe something, we obey unquestioningly, and as a result, whatever assertions are spread by these agencies, no matter how bereft of evidence or shielded by accountability-free anonymity, they instantly transform, in our government-worshipping worldview, into a proven fact — gospel — never to be questioned but only affirmed and then repeated and spread as far and wide as possible.
