Two months after top Pentagon officials vowed to get to the bottom of whether the Russian government*bribed the Taliban to kill American service members, the commander of troops in the region says a detailed review of all available intelligence has not been able to corroborate the existence of such a program.
U.S. commander: Intel still hasn'''t established Russia paid Taliban '''bounties''' to kill U.S. troops
So no info could be found to back up this already deeply questionable story. Glad to hear it.

It, honestly, made no sense to me. I didn’t see what Russia would have to gain from it and the Taliban doesn’t need to be paid to want to kill Americans.
So Pompeo humiliated himself actually warning Russia to knock it off?
He really is an incompetent grifter.
They get to kill Americans. We are their enemy. They want to create destabilization. And yeah, the Taliban likes money and killing Americans. What’s the confusion over that piece?
Yeah! Since when we need any proof, when we talking about USSR... sorry, Russia. Aren't we educated since childhood, that russian are not really human at all?They get to kill Americans. We are their enemy. They want to create destabilization. And yeah, the Taliban likes money and killing Americans. What’s the confusion over that piece?

The problem comes in with regards to motivation. They've been fighting us for 20 years. Why would they all of a sudden need to be paid to kill a hated enemy?

Because there are peace negotiation ongoing and Russia is motivated to stall peace in Afghanistan to keep the US back on their heels. Russia wants to be sure the Taliban keeps killing and doesn't take a break due to peace negotiation.
They see Americans and assorted allied forces (correctly), as belligerent invaders and do what any invaded nation does; resists. Yes, they aren't especially pleasant people to do business with, but it's their country and we are uninvited guests. In WW2 there was Vichy France, technically at 'peace' and sympathising with Nazi Germany, and there was the rest of occupied France, fighting the invaders. The similarities with Afghanistan are pretty obvious.
Trump probably heard something along those lines from idiot Limbaugh and passed on the stupid. It's like the White House's own special virus...

When enough faux outrage is generated by the press, there's little politicians can do to save face.
Like Iran!
Who has Iran invaded and occupied lately?
In the past 100 years, say? That would be a nice round number-0. The last time Iran invaded anywhere it was Afghanistan, in 1856.
Anglo-Persian War - Wikipedia

That literally makes no sense. You don't need Russian involvement to continue the fighting.
Peace negotiations are taking place between the Afghan government and the Taliban, not the US.
Oh. So Iran is not much like Nazi Germany occupying another country.

Btw, good to see you Mr. Invisible (no pun intended).
I had no idea the United States had troops in Iran!No more so than the US invading and occupying Iran for almost 20 years.
