Why Does Trump Put Russia First?
NYT ^ | June 30, 2020 | Susan Rice

Posted on 06/30/2020 9:06:35 PM PDT by upchuck

It’s exceedingly difficult to believe that no one told the president about the intelligence on Russian efforts to harm Americans in Afghanistan.

Since at least February, and possibly as early as March 2019, the United States has had compelling intelligence that a committed adversary, Russia, paid bounties to Taliban-linked fighters to kill American troops in Afghanistan. American service members were reportedly killed as a result.

To this day, the president of the United States has done nothing about it.

Instead, President Trump dismissed the intelligence as not “credible” and “possibly another fabricated Russia hoax, maybe by the Fake News” that is “wanting to make Republicans look bad!!!”

Mr. Trump also claimed that neither he nor Vice President Mike Pence was ever told about this critical intelligence before it was first reported in The New York Times. Setting aside for a moment the credulity of that claim, whenever the president learned of this deeply troubling intelligence, why did he not publicly condemn any Russian efforts to kill American soldiers and explore options for a swift and significant U.S. response?

None of this adds up.

As a former national security adviser, I find it exceedingly difficult to believe that no one told Mr. Trump about this intelligence.

It was reportedly contained in the president’s daily briefing, which is provided to all top-level national security officials.

America, Russia and the Taliban all deny it.

There is no evidence it occurred.

The only thing we have is vapors from the same folks who lied about Russia in 2016.

Who puts Russia first?

The Obama administration with Biden and Clinton and Pelosi allowed Russian companies to purchase rights for 20% production of Us uranium.

Under their Administration Russia invaded parts of Ukraine, it annexed the Crimea and allowed a Russian foothold on Syria.

There was no better friend to Russia than Obama Biden Clinton and Pelosi.

And they dare complain about Trump????

When criminals are not brought to justice they flaunt it.

Good ol' Ann Barnhardt has an entire lecture on this phenomenon:

Why did Susan Rice put political interests and personal gain ahead of the security of this country?

A thought occurs to me. All the democrat schemes have one common thread, they accuse you of what THEY actually do.

Trump and Russian prostitutes peeing all over the place to humiliate someone? This is from the fevered mind of a democrat homo in Hillary’s campaign. Say Robby Mook for example. A normal man would never even think of such a thing.

So... who exactly would think up the idea of PAYING CASH to Afghans to kill the enemy? Broke Russia? OR does that sound like something invented in the mind of someone who has just spent 19 years PAYING AFGHANS to do what they want? The US INTEL COMMUNITY.

Also, in the exceedingly unlikely event that some goat humper actually DID tell our intel guys this story, did it ever occur to our “intelligence” guys that the most famous middlemen in human history might have been negotiating, trying to hike the price on what the USA pays them to NOT shoot at our guys? “Yes, the Russians pay us much more to shoot at your men than you pay us NOT to...”.
It’s obvious...

Morons. We are a nation run by blithering idiot morons.

I think she is going to be Slo Joe’s Running Mate.
And if he wins, he will after a time, step down, and she will assume the Presidency.

Susan Rice is a seditionist who should be testing the weight load of the nearest stout tree branch.

Susan Ricee and about 50 other Obama admin refuse belongs to Ben Rhodes’ shadow NSC called National Security Now a/k/a National Security Action [NSA]...

Another member of the group is radical ROSA BROOKS the daughter of the Democrat Socialists of America’s Barbara Ehrenreich. Rosa Brooks at one point a couple of years ago infamously suggested a military coup against President Trump.

And since 2010 we had the same thing... reports of Iran paying bounties to the Taliban for killing or capturing US troops ...the Obama-Biden response was to pay Iran lots of money and swap prisoners with the Taliban.
