So Bolton briefed trump March 2019 about bounty and in Sept 2019 he invited Taliban to Camp David?

Ok, so Putin paid the Taliban to kill our soldiers and Trump wanted to invite the very people doing the killing to Camp David on the anniversary of our September 11 Attacks??? My head is spinning.

Since his book came out, I really don't know if he has confirmed or verified that.

It's literally not about the total loss, but about Russia literally taking this ugly step in an attempt to escalate things against out troops once again.

Not a reason not to meet with the taliban though and see if any deal could be struck to end the endless war there.
Not that they can be trusted but worth a try.

His JOB is to protect U.S. troops, by PUNISHING his puppetmaster, not to invite him back in the G7... (which is REWARDING).

Caps for emphasis.

Lock him up.

What Russia did here is literally unprecedented. Also, the Taliban has been (apparently) working in at least loose collusion with Russia. Which needs to be taken into account.

Our intelligence needs to coordinate with international intelligence and figure out the reality of this situation before moving forward on any fronts. We're being played like fools here on all fronts is the easy takeaway.

with charts. It's not distracting from what Putin has been caught doing to our American & UK soldiers.. offering the taliban a bounty to kill them.. and trump was briefed about it.. and is now Lying his head off Again.

Didn't trump invite Putin to join G7 & "maybe NATO.. next year"? Let's hope he's not around next year.

They were something Putin would endorse in his defense. 😑

Yes, Traitor Trump did do both. As to the G 6, other nations gave a resounding, hell no! And as far as I know it was tabled. Hopefully, the NATO meeting will be a nonissue, and the G6 is easily postponed now, sadly, due to our mishandling of Covid under Trump.

Stay safe and healthy, my friend!

So he couldn't have answered it in the hearings.

Not trying to defend that mustache here, but he could now be in some 'trouble' for leaking it (Classified info).

Maybe it's the ''it's worse than you think'' part he promised to get back at the shitgibbon for firing him?? lol

Lock him up.

So he didn't stand up when it would have counted (although he knew the cowards in the Senate on the Russiapublican side would not vote to remove the shitstain if the sky was to fall ICBMs because they're all complicit with Russian-money through the NRA).

So he waited even AFTER his book was published to get it back to the orange menace (as he promised he would)?

Developing story.

Lock him up.
