President Donald Trump has admitted that he failed to mention U.S. intelligence that indicates Russia paid the Taliban to kill American troops during a call with Vladimir Putin last week. In fact, Trump says he has “never” brought up the issue with the Russian president apparently because he doesn’t believe the CIA.
The New York Times reported back in June that U.S. intelligence officials concluded “months ago” that a Russian military intelligence unit paid out for each U.S. or allied soldier killed. There is some disagreement in the intelligence community—the National Security Agency reportedly disagreed with the CIA’s findings.
But, since he had Putin on the phone, you might expect a U.S. president to at least ask about intelligence showing that Russia had incentivised Taliban militants to murder American troops. In an interview with Axios on HBO, Trump said he didn’t bother.
Asked why he skirted the issue with Putin last week, Trump replied: “That was a phone call to discuss other things, and frankly that’s an issue that many people said was fake news.”

Authoritarians see troops as cannon fodder. They don't care.
Of course you are trying to cast doubt on anything related to Russia because you work for them.
You blatantly lied about getting a mail-in ballot because you want to undermine the integrity of the election you are sure to lose.
Since you lied about that, why would you be telling the truth about Russia?

Now, now, just because Boris, aka anatta + socks are making a few dollars from Russian intelligence doesn't necessarily mean he is making all this stuff up.......
Deep down he believes putin & trump are both real honest & good men, doing what is in the best interest of all..
They both like puppies & blondes, what's not to like about "real men" that like that??
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
How does it feel to support a president who is complicit in the murder of US troops?
I don't know Jerome...how did you feel about supporting Bill Clinton?
Don't be afraid to see what you see

Given the paucity of recent US troop losses, I'd say the Russian offer isn't working too well or the US's enemies are some total tards--or both.

i take this as a green post (sarcasm). but by now you should understand "good and honest"
has no bearing on international relationships
to repeat the obvious: nations operate in their best interests. where they over lap we cooperate and where they conflict we oppose. it has zilch to do with the character or "goodness" of heads of state = realpolitik
