Outrage mounts over report Russia offered bounties to Afghanistan militants for killing US soldiers
Outrage has greeted media reports that say American intelligence officials believe a Russian military intelligence unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing foreign soldiers in Afghanistan, including targeting Americans.
The story first appeared in the New York Times, citing its sources as unnamed officials briefed on the matter, and followed up by the Washington Post. The reports said that the US had come to the conclusion about the operation several months ago and offered rewards for successful attacks last year.
The Times wrote: "The intelligence finding was briefed to Trump, and the White House's National Security Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March." White House officials apparently drew up several possible options to retaliate against the Kremlin, ranging from a diplomatic reprimand right through to fresh sanctions. However, the White House has so far not taken any action.
It is not clear if bounties were ever paid out for successfully killing American soldiers.

Take American soldiers out of Afghanistan and put them into Washington, DC. Then offer them bounties for every senator or congressman they can capture and extradite to Guantanamo.

Yeah, this shit has all been debunked for at least a day already. You know what hasn't been, though, is Israel's looming colonialist land-grab of the West Bank. This article [jewishcurrents.org] has a few choice paragraphs:
No, no, look the other way, Black people! As champions of civil rights, the ADL and the Jewish community back you up 100%! Why don't you tear down a few statues and beat up a few white people and stop paying attention to Israel for a little while! Thanks for your tax dollars Goys!

Swampy Don tried something similar against peaceful protestors in order to show that he can hold a book upsidedown.
