🚨So the same Russian GRU hit squad assassinating, poisoning & plotting coups in Europe has been offering Taliban militants money to kill US troops in Afghanistan.
Trump's known since March. He's done nothing. (And talked up inviting Putin back into G7!) nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/…
🚨#Russia has been paying terrorists to kill US troops in Afghanistan:
"Islamist militants, or armed criminal elements closely associated with them…collected some bounty money…Twenty Americans were killed in 2019, but it was not clear which killings were under suspicion"
Shocker: Russia calls @nytimes’ Afghanistan report “fake”
Sets the stage for Trump to call it “fake news” too. Echoing Russia’s propaganda lies & talking points—protecting his benefactor Putin—has been a consistent theme of Trump’s since 2016. Despicable then. Intolerable now.
#BREAKING European Intel: #Russia’s operation offering cash incentives to Taliban fighters to kill US troops RESULTED IN COALITION CASUALTIES. Official called it “startling & reprehensible,” noting same GRU 29155 unit perpetrated Salisbury UK poisonings
British security official confirms @nytimes report of Russian bounty plot.
Senior MP: It's another example of Russian GRU's moral vacuum, offering rewards to attack soldiers trying to bring peace to Afghanistan. "Unacceptable" from a permanent UNSC member

@nytimes 🤯Trump is not only denying being briefed on Russia's plot. He's denying the plot—JUST LIKE PUTIN.
—"So-called" attacks
—"Fake News" "Phony Times hit job"
—"Everybody is denying it"
‼FACT: UK & Europe confirmed the intel. Confirmed casualties FFS‼️

@nytimes NEW >> #Russia is suspected of paying the Haqqani Network—a terrorist group aligned w/ Taliban—for APRIL 2019 convoy attack that KILLED 3 US Marines, WOUNDED 3 other US troops + Afghan contractor. Intel community is also investigating "insider" attacks for Russian bounty links.⬇️
