[Mingle]

American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops — amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.

Afghanistan war: Russia denies paying militants to kill US troops

Russia has rejected as "baseless" accusations that it offered Taliban-linked militants rewards to kill US and other Nato troops in Afghanistan.

I think that most of Europeans have little interest in these matters. It is better that Americans discuss with Russians and leave us alone.

Looks like something serious is needed to divert American public's attention from its home affairs.

Nobody is forcing non-Russian Europeans or non-Americans to comment on this. This was posted in the Russia section.

Wow, yes! Well, let these hypocrites cry from frustration.
But the weapons, money and manpads “Stinger” to the mujahideen in Afghanistan were sent apparently by the Pope so their troops would not be bored.
But they still missed and shot at Soviet soldiers, helicopters and other equipment and manpower.

And what do American soldiers do in a foreign country? Apparently, at the request of Osama Bin Laden, they are protecting the southern borderlands of Russia from Islamic terrorism.
For reference. The legitimate government of Afghanistan (first Taraki, then Amin) 7 (SEVEN) times appealed to the government of the USSR with a request to send troops.

Weak article. No specifics, not even names, not to mention dates, amounts of money, photos. Half of the article is dedicated not to Russia, but to Trump - another criticism of his candidacy in anticipation of the election.

If that is so, then Russia made an awful mistake because that could be interpreted as a casus belli. Time for Europe to leave NATO. If the Americans want to invade Russia through the backdoor, be my guest but this doesn't concern us (unless the bounty extended to European troops... that would really change things).

It's not a secret that the oversea bastards do need bogeymen just as much as ours do. It wouldn't surprise me if they even somehow coordinated it with each other.

that's nothing, in the video in the bottom, they say, that former US general Hodges warns that Russia is ready to start war with Ukraine in September because of lack of water in occupied Crimea (water there was sending by canal from Ukrainian rivers)
