Anonymous Coward User ID: 77961019 United States 06/27/2020 06:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | US intelligence officials assessed that Russia's military intelligence agency offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill NATO troops in Afghanistan. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79077769 Interrogations of Afghan militants and criminals yielded the information indicating that Taliban-linked militants were offered bounties from Russian agents, specifically Unit 29155, a branch of Russia's GRU military intelligence agency. Unit 29155, which is believed to be made up of former Russian special-forces troops, has been blamed for a series of assassination attempts throughout Europe, including the poisoning of Russian defector Sergei Skripal in 2018. One theory floated by some of the officials is that Moscow may have been retaliating after an embarrassing defeat during a battle in Syria in 2018. Between 200 and 300 mercenaries from a Russia-linked security firm were killed during a four-hour battle at a military base that housed US-led coalition forces. President Donald Trump was briefed of the intelligence assessment, but the White House has yet to respond to it.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77194568 Netherlands 06/27/2020 11:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Russian spy unit paid Taliban to attack US troops, US intelligence says WASHINGTON — A Russian spy unit paid members of Afghanistan’s Taliban movement to conduct lethal attacks on U.S. troops in that country, according to a classified American intelligence assessment. The assessment of the role played by Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, in fostering attacks on American soldiers, comes as President Trump is pushing the Pentagon to withdraw a significant portion of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and as U.S. diplomats try to forge a peace accord involving the Taliban and the U.S.-backed Afghan government. At issue is a secretive unit of the GRU that, according to Western officials, has conducted sometimes clandestine lethal operations against Moscow’s adversaries. The same unit, they said, was responsible for the poisoning in the U.K. of Sergei Skripal, a former GRU officer who defected to Britain, and his daughter. Russia has denied involvement. The intelligence assessment regarding Russia’s actions in Afghanistan was delivered to the White House earlier this spring, and until recently had been known only to a handful of officials.

Trump knew since March that Putin had placed and paid the Taliban $$ bounties $$ to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan. When his soldiers needed him, he looked the other way. Donald Trump: "When our people are threatened we will never, ever hesitate to act". Trump knew about this in March. He has done nothing. |

So she is saying that Trump still hasn’t been briefed but the House Republicans are getting briefed at the White House today? The White House is preparing to brief House Republicans on intelligence that Russia offered bounties to Afghan militants who targeted U.S. troops for assassination. It’s unclear which GOP lawmakers will be included in the briefing, which will take place at the White House, or how detailed it will be — but the administration isn’t expected to include Democrats in the first pass at explaining the intelligence first unearthed in news reports over the weekend.
