The U.S. intelligence community now admits that the story about Russian bounties in Afghanistan was made up. Fake news. A lie.
The reports of Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly putting bounties on the heads of U.S. troops, incentivizing the Taliban to target American soldiers, was a falsehood propagated last year to stop former President Donald Trump’s peace negotiations.
The CIA admitted that the claim was never backed up by any evidence on Thursday. Even though the ridiculous story was more deep state war propaganda, the White House is continuing to push the Big Lie as they work to torpedo diplomatic relations with Russia.
“This information really puts the burden on Russia and the Russian government to explain their engagement here,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
Last year, it was already widely understood that the Russian bounties story was a falsehood. The intelligence community and their corporate media partners were still masquerading like the claim was true to hurt former President Trump’s re-election chances, as part of the multifaceted conspiracy to rob him of a second term.
“It just has not been proved to a level of certainty that satisfies me,” said Gen. Frank McKenzie, who serves as commander of the U.S. Central Command, in Sept. 2020.
“We continue to look for that evidence,” he added. “I just haven’t seen it yet. But … it’s not a closed issue.”
Big League Politics has reported on Biden’s recent announcement that he would be pulling troops from Afghanistan, which has triggered bipartisan members of the War Party:
“Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is finally criticizing the Biden regime, not for targeting President Trump’s supporters as domestic terrorists, presiding over unprecedented election fraud, surrendering economic clout to China, flooding the border with third-world migrants, or any of the abhorrent ways they are destroying the country.
Instead, McConnell is taking aim at Biden for his recent announcement that troops will be removed from the war zone in Afghanistan by Sept. 11 of this year. If Biden lives up to his word, the longest war in U.S. history will conclude after two decades with virtually nothing to show for it.
The former Senate majority leader is worried about defense contractors and special interests who will lose power and prestige once troops are removed from Afghanistan. McConnell is thrilled for troops to be continuously thrown into the meat grinder to improve gross domestic product and boost the stock market.
Democrat shills for the military-industrial complex spoke of the need to bring equality to the oppressed women of Afghanistan, as feminism and gender-identity politics are apparently America’s only enduring values these days.
“Although this decision was made in coordination w/our allies, the U.S. has sacrificed too much to bring stability to Afghanistan to leave w/o verifiable assurances of a secure future,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). “It undermines our commitment to the Afghan people, particularly Afghan women.”
“I certainly will not be supportive of any assistance to Afghanistan if there is backsliding on civil society, the rights that women have been able to achieve. And if the Taliban ultimately doesn’t keep its obligations, then there will be consequences and one of them will be that there will be no money flowing. So I don’t know how they will rebuild the country,” Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) said.”
Time will tell if the Biden regime is lying about removing troops from Afghanistan or not. If Biden does remove the troops, he will get credit for an accomplishment that was spearheaded by Trump, with the clandestine bureaucracy in Washington D.C. effectively sabotaging Trump’s foreign policy legacy. All while they ramp up involvement in Syria to keep the Military-Industrial Complex fat and Neocons happy.
