"I can tell you that some of that is done. Are we doing as much as we could or should? Perhaps not. Not only to the Russians, but to others. But a lot of it is being done. Some of it's quiet, Some of it's not so quiet."said the military was looking into the intelligence that the Russians had offered payments to the Taliban as an incentive to kill Americans
However, they acknowledged Russia had been supporting the Taliban for years, and Milley's comment was a concession the U.S. has not pushed back as hard as it could. It's unclear whether President Donald Trump has ever raised the issue in his many conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Esper said no intelligence report he saw used the term “bounty,” although he later acknowledged the reports described payments. He said no military spy agency had corroborated the intelligence, which officials have said was developed largely by the CIA.
Putting national security into the hands of an imbecile like this vermin means its a near statistical certainty the USA is doomed. He needs to resign at the very least. His grasp of a situation is as tenuous as an armless ape!
So you're just now getting this!!?
Maybe the generals should admit in public what they've been saying in private!
Nice he is veing SO HONEST WITH HIS VIEWPOINT. He’ll be FIRED BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK by the MORON faux President. Poor guy should just Retire ASAP so he doen’t lose his career retirement benefits. Thsnks for your service.
Why are we still there....
Anything to make us stay in afg for another twenty years. Just as Trump was about to take us out this bulshit bounty story comes out and millitary contractors win again. Pathetic.
Well excuse me General, can you tell us what exactly the fuck you are doing to deter Russia?
He has the authority to make certain decisions or implement guidance! Why is Gen Milley not doing it then?
Perhaps? What dorsTeump have on all these “strong” men?
Perhaps Gen. Miley istn as patriotic as he thinks he is?
Try NOTHING..trump is doing NOTHING to stop Russia because he works for Putin.
um, ya, perhaps!
no fxcking shit
And there it is. They want to stop Trump from leaving Afghanistan. That's what the leak about Russian bounties was all about. Of course you have the morons that hate Trump and are going to push for MORE WAR because orange man is bad.
JustWhatNowWhy Gee, do you think?!? Last time I checked NOTHING is, perhaps, less than AS MUCH AS WE COULD OR SHOULD. Goddammittohell these people. Respect the office of the president by speaking out against the disgraceful imbecile who’s currently occupying the .WhiteHouse. Or we’re doomed.
figured that out huh?
And the Understatement of the Year Award goes to...
Didn’t Russia already try invading Afghanistan when it was apart of the communist led USSR.
Perhaps not? I understand the whole CiC mindset but when does the country and constitution kick in?
PattyArquette Ya think?
PattyArquette Time for change. “...of 976 currently serving generals in the U.S. military, only 69 are female...only 19 currently serving female generals in the Army,”
PattyArquette 'Perhaps'? 'Maybe'? tRUmp has screwed the pooch and we're going to be left with the puppies!
PattyArquette GOPCowards TrumpKnewAndDidNothing TrumpKnewAboutRussianBounty
PattyArquette Of course we aren't cause Trump is a Russian agent.
PattyArquette The American government allows it because it provides an excuse for an ongoing and lengthy confrontation. Our economy is designed to profit from the sale and manufacture of weapons of war.
We aren’t doing anything and it’s not nearly enough.
MAYBE?!
jbrown11871 Wow! How to defend and protect the men and women in your charge-Time for you to leave too.
RosieM1919 Why do none of these men have any balls?
tyrion1 What a mealy mouthed milk toast answer.
'Perhaps not'?! Fucking coward.
Like hiring them for odd jobs like hunting expeditions.
More news from the Biden campaign. So much money paid to for information manipulation.
ScutiUy Anyone see a pattern here?
FFS! Ya’ think? He’s letting Russia get away with putting bounties on our soldiers!!
Openmind67 Ya think?
How about we get the fuck out of Afghanistan?
Resign fat man!
Perhaps Milley and Yesper are still covering for Trump and shouldn't be in the positions they hold.
Trump has placed more sanctions on Russia than Obama-Biden ever did. Trump killed more Russians in Syria. Gave lethal military aid to Ukraine unlike Obama. And the Obama-Biden administration approved the sale of US uranium reserves to Russia.
Perhaps not
BabiesR4 Perhaps. They teach you that word in boot camp?
aplemkseriously Ouch.
aplemkseriously Nice to finally hear a voice. Hope you don't get the full Vindman treatment
TheRealErinLynn perhaps, a coward yes man
When can a coward, draft dodger, fake bone spurs, moron and Chief. Can make life and death decisions for our Military? Truly there’s something frighteningly, and horribly wrong with this occurrence. Normal and Common Sense is certainly missing in action.
“Perhaps” Ya think! They all are helping the psychopath in chief ignore real issues and pretend they don’t exist The COVID virus, the bounty on soldiers, Americans sick at the 3rd worst rate in the world! Trump is a complete failure and he and the GOP enables him!GOPTraitors
QuareFellas What the hell kind of bullshit is this He didn't know about the tear gas photo-op & he thinks 'perhaps' And, he's a General?
ve10ve He’s a trump butt licker He couldn’t speakout for LtCol Vinnman’s promotion, nor the slaughter of American soldiers in Afghanistan, and was dragged into the military turmoil in Lafayette Park like a wooden pull toy as military helicopters straffed civilians.
missb62 'Perhaps'
President will not let them
LisbethFarnum1 Perhaps?
Another coward. They are killing your soldiers General with impunity and for sport. What are you going to do about it? As I thought. Get ready for retirement. Biden is taking names of those who enable this orange cretin, and you are high on the list.
Maybe not doing enough to get the troops the hell out of Bacha Bazi land.... our taxpayer dollars being frittered away
Jesus christ, you know your career is over, at least tell the truth and stop wishy washing. Go out with some integrity.
hey milley aint that your job
Reminds me of the story Stone Soup.
Really Fake News by NBC News the DNC propaganda outfit.
That’s an overly diplomatic way to put it? How about “Russia is attacking our troops” by bribing the Taliban? That about sums it up!
Putting it nicely
We already knew that!
Who gave 400 billion to Iran? Who gave 20% of US uranium to Russia? Who supplied guns to Mexican drug cartels that killed Americans? Yeah.
Milley & Def/Sec Mark Esper, testified and said the military was looking into the intelligence, but both said military intelligence agencies had cast doubt on those reports, and they had seen no indication that any American was killed as a result. HAHAHA exactly as Trump Said.
Perhaps?!!? If our CHAIRMAN is this soft and lame when it comes to defending our military he needs to GTFO!! Every soldier in every branch & their families should be enraged that there has been NO RESPONSE to this utter betrayal. TRAITORS!!
ScotMackRI Strong but not strong enough
🧙♂️ Gee, ya think ?
Because we don't want more war in Afghanistan or anywhere else. That's the point.
Nice word salad he did there. Basically, they haven't done a damn thing. My sons, other people's children, parents, family, and friends who are serving are in danger. This country told them serving was a great honor and that we protect each other as they protect us. Lies.
Hmmm ya think!!!
rhonda_harbison Ya think?
Duh!
Of course Russia want afganistan, their war in Afghanistan, combined with the Chernobyl, ulitmatly led to the U.S.S.R’s. Down fall and then ration of the US backed Mujahideen which would later turn in to the Taliban
The entire NBC News room, Rachael Maddow, Al Sharpton and the author of this garbage as well as General fatass should be sent to Afganistan immediately to resolve the issue at ground level. Enough if this endless boondoggle.
Love the misleading clickbait headline taken out of context. This is why we hate you.
bissygumdrops Could someone please get the trump turds out of this poor man’s mouth?
General Milley and you critics, the damn military budget is pretty much underfunded or reduced. We barely have enough for defense let alone aggression!!
Duh.
YOU ARE A GENERAL. Act like one ffs
Reeealy. GenMark09745216
Fun news
Think this falls under the heading 'No-fucking-shit!'
'PERHAPS' GEN MARK MILLEY [CHAIRMAN OF THE JT CHIEFS OF STAFF] IS A BIG 'STINKING' LIMP WIMP!!!
Listen to the newest! Enjoy “I don’t wanna stop” on Apple Music. (RTSmusic)
That 'perhaps' is doing a lot of heavy lifting, Mark.
And he’s resigning this month !!
Why wouldn't the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces care enough about the patriots under his command to protect their safety and their families?
Does any one know who is really the enemy of all the countries in the world? This evil empire has killed hundreds thousands of people indirectly! The number is stil rising!
thejointstaff How milk toasty.
Says the filthy rich drug lord. Of course he wants support for Afghanistan, that's were all his $$$$ comes from - heroine. Using our service men and women to guard the fields of poppies and then making them transport it back to the US. He's a pos traitor.
Gee, do ya think?
Trumpledforeskin is having a very bad day, I’m happy to say!
Maybe that’s something he could have mentioned THREE YEARS AGO.
You did the same to the Soviets
Well his career is probably over. realDonaldTrump does not accept constructive criticism from experts. He pouts and fires them.
What a limp statement from JCS.
The hell you say
What are these cowards afraid of, a little bully like Trump he's going to lose and take every one of you Republicans down with him.
Ya think?
Mr Arse Trump, the walls a caving in on you.!!!
Yeah....?
Can he explain why we are still there, after 19 YEARS? What is the mission? And at what COST?
RANT -To ALL regular, hardworking People who donate to James 'Aftercare' fund out of Love, Our SINCERE thanks💯! To every rich celebrity that ignores Us, while luxuriating, SHAME !💯 NO ONE should have to BEG, for a precious Childs life! 🔄 JamesNewHeart
General Photo-Op say whaaaaat Milleymarauders

Biden dismantles Trump in just 30 seconds
