Another complication:
NATO officials say they were briefed on Russian bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan — even though Trump claims he wasn't https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-bounty-us-soldiers-afghanistan-nato-officials-briefed-trump-denies-2020-6
"We were briefed [by the Americans] on a potential threat to our troops in Afghanistan from operatives potentially linked to the Russian intelligence services," one NATO military intelligence official told Insider on Monday.
"There is no indication that our troops — or any non-US NATO troops — have been targeted in these attacks, but all NATO services with casualties in Afghanistan over the past two years are currently checking for any connections."
Two other NATO officials — who represent countries with troops who regularly support the NATO mission in Afghanistan — confirmed similar briefings. Twenty-six coalition members were killed in Afghanistan in 2019.
So our NATO allies watched as the US did nothing about this, and the American people did not know.
Their troops were also in harm's way.
Trump has been outed, so now voters need to watch how he responds. Will he continue to do nothing, perhaps even believing Putin over the CIA and other intel agencies (as in Finland), or will he be forced to "get tough"?
Will Congress finally have to respond?
