"WASHINGTON — Two months after top Pentagon officials vowed to get to the bottom of whether the Russian government bribed the Taliban to kill American service members, the commander of troops in the region says a detailed review of all available intelligence has not been able to corroborate the existence of such a program..."

U.S. commander: Intel still hasn't established Russia paid Taliban 'bounties' to kill U.S. troops

"It just has not been proved to a level of certainty that satisfies me," Gen. Frank McKenzie told NBC News. McKenzie oversees U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Faith based beliefs are really pretty common among progressives.

But Biden will continue to say it. No one in the media will fact check him

OR point out how careless it is to accuse Russia of this without evidence.

I’ve said all along, the argument seems absurd. Russia put a bounty on the heads of American troops in response to American troops defending a base (which was why they were there) attacked by forces that unbeknown to the US (despite inquiries in real time to Russia) contained NOT Russian forces, but Russian MERCENARIES...that during the bounty period American deaths didn’t increase and were about a dozen or so. That the effort would serve no Russian geopolitical goals and in fact would be counterproductive. That the risk of such a program being discovered was significantly worse than the benefits of the program. And as if the Taliban needed motivation to kill Americans.

None the less, it will continue to be discussed as a fact by Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself). Just like every piece of mud thrown at the President...the seriousness of the accusation is more important than the truth. 25 people have gone on the record saying Trump never called soldiers suckers. I’m sure that doesn’t matter either.
