Allegations Russia offered bounties to the Taliban for the lives of US soldiers in the Middle East would be an 'ironic' and 'major escalation' of tensions between the two nations, the US Studies Centre's James Brown says.

Allegations Russia offered bounties to the Taliban for the lives of US soldiers in the Middle East would be an "ironic" and "major escalation" of tensions between the two nations, the US Studies Centre's James Brown says.

"How ironic the Russians, having been against the Taliban, are now working with them potentially, to take American lives," Mr Brown said. "It's not unusual that you see in these war zones a range of different intelligence agencies operating. "You sometimes see countries that aren't involved in these conflicts paying local groups to try out tactics or to try out new weaponry.

It's also old news, fabricated by the NY times, but from one garbage media network to another got to keep the idiots stupid!!!

Trump is the Commander in Chief of the American Armed Forces and as the story is developing further it appears that he has ignored the information from his own intelligence advisors...that's the real problem. A tactic used in conflicts since tribal days.

Yeah, start a war due to a New York Times anonymous probably BS source story that no one knows about or partially leaked unconfirmed information. Media is totally becoming the world's no 1 enemy for their own political activism. Shame on you all.

In Vietnam the battalion had a bet 'first man to kill a gook with a machete' War is shit. PLO took US funds & gave it to the families of their suicide bombers (until Trump stopped funding) realDonaldTrump RealMarkLatham australian

Oh we’re back to Russian collusion 🙄 American intelligence agencies found the claims to be lacking credibility but the NYT thought it would be fun to give it a run regardless.
