NY Times caught blatantly lying about Russia targeting U.S. Soldiers

[Concart]

It's telling that all the Trumptards can do is attempt to change the subject. There is no way this isn't a complete disaster for Trump. If he knew, he did nothing, if he didn't, the Adminstration is a failure. Either way, we let Russia get away with ordering up hits on US Troops and we did absolutely nothing about it.

[Concart]

Its a guarantee that trump knew about this all along

Of course he did. And not a peep. I guess he was too busy tweeting White Power videos.

As time goes by and we see more investigative reporting, it will be a certainty that trump knew about this from the beginning.

And the 40% will make some excuse for why it's okay that we allowed our enemy to pay bounties on our troops. In the end, it won't matter. Trump is done.

Its not just our troops, but European as well.

[Nordberg]

I read it was in the briefings that Trump was given in March. However, Trump often does not bother reading them. Nor does he pay much attention at verbal briefs. If that is an excuse to reds, then they do not care about a disinterested part-time president.

NY Times caught blatantly lying about Russia targeting U.S. Soldiers
Another day, another embarrassment to what's left of journalism by the NY Times.

Another day, another embarrassment to what's left of journalism by the NY Times.

"Members of the American intelligence community have concluded that members of the Russian intelligence unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants if they successfully killed members of the American military, the New York Times reported. The problem, however, is that almost everyone involved in this story says it isn't true. The White House, Russia and even the Taliban have said the Times' story is false."

Yes, it's coalition troops. And they were already SO happy with Trump's leadership. Can you imagine if this had come out and we were still having the G-7 this week? You remember the G-7. The one that Trump invited Putin to.

[Callinectes]

Why? We knew about this. We just didn't do anything. Because the guy in the White House is owned by Putin.

Do you have any idea how intelligence is collected and processed? Any idea how much UNPROCESSED intelligence is NOT reported to POTUS? What this is most likely to mean is, there's another America hating "analyst" like snowden in the intel community who feels he knows more than the leadership. Do you even have any concept of the value of information like this if it proved true? You're clueless. Take a creative writing class at your local community collage, the fucking nyt will snap you up and make you the lead political reporter in a heartbeat

ROTFLFMAO!!! How stupid do you think people are. The Russians are putting a bounty on coalition troops, and no one thought to tell the CIC? Don't be a fucking tool for Trump. He's a moron, and if you believe he didn't know, so are you. End of story.

Russia's motive?

[Darth Omar]

Here is a CBS news correspondent. This is apparently a developing story [not that that would keep the Trump haters from jumping the gun]:

Let’s put our thinking caps on here for a minute. Why should it be surprising that Russian spooks would be bribing the Taliban to go after US fighters? I’m sure we never did that sort of thing while Russia was in Afghanistan...or well lol.

Indeed, why would the Taliban require incentive to do that?

Also, did money ever actually change hands or was this something that was picked up by our intelligence assets and never acted on by Russia? Or acted on in any significant way.

Maybe, those are the sorts of reasons it was never included in the presidents intelligence briefing.

Keep making excuses. That's all you've got left. I guess you are okay with this. Russian asset indeed.

A well respected *actual journalist* with CBS is calling this a developing story and you seem to disagree.

Maybe you should contact her.
