    Good Questions From Liz Cheney



    Russians paying bounties for kills in Afghanistan on US and UK forces?

    I don't like that at all. I wonder what Reagan would have done. Maybe time for a nice NATO-Ukraine joint exercise, just to make sure the point gets made.

      One of the top Republican lawmakers in the House joined on Sunday a growing list of legislators calling on the Trump administration to explain what it knew about the reports that Russian intelligence agents offered to pay bounties to Afghan militants who killed U.S. troops in the country.

          No denials that it happened. Only that the top guys didn't know about it. Which creates a whole new set of questions.

            If this is true why would anyone be surprised. We supplied stingers that were used to kill Russian troops.

              Whoa!!!! The Russians were supporting and colluding with Trump. Why were they paying left wing Democrats to attack American troops?

                    The same thing? If you'd compared Vietnam and the Soviet Afghan war I'd agree. But this feels different. In part because it's clandestine, I suppose.

                    I know, right?

                    This is so unlike Putin.

                    But apparently he'll get away with it. No consequences.

                      Well the administration admits now that there is a problem....

                      The story leaked out, which is a matter deserving strenuous investigation.

                      Feb 27 was the day it was put in the written report to Trump. Small wonder he claims to have never heard about it.

                        It seems like a weird and creepy thing. What would be the point of it?
                        If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

                          Yeah... And if the Russians were successful how many Americans died as a result in the past two years? !0,000? 5,000? 2,500? 1,250? 625? 313? 156? 78? 39? or 24?

                          And how many of those died because the Taliban paid a bounty... the answer is ZERO. in fact it looks like only two were killed in the past six months.

                          Another made up lie.

                          Oh, BTW the Russians hate the Taliban. Does the word "Chechenia," ring a bell?

                            Red, which intelligence briefing did you attend?

                              When an American gets killed it usually makes the news, except there is no other news these days but Coronavirus.
