The US Senate demanded to declassify information about the alleged "payments" of Russia to the Taliban

In the United States, the topic of the alleged payments made by Russian intelligence to the Taliban for the murder of the American military in Afghanistan is being raised again. The Senate demanded to declassify the available information on this case.

Senator Tammy Duckworth appealed to the director of national intelligence Avril Haynes, who called for the declassification and release of intelligence information about alleged payments by Russian intelligence to the militants of the Russian-banned Taliban movement for attacks on the US military in Afghanistan.

Duckworth criticized the previous administration of Donald Trump, which did not give an official answer to the question about the "evidence" found.

(...) possible promises of rewards for attacks on the US military could have inspired and incentivized the Taliban to launch attacks (...) no formal answer was provided to the main questions about whether any evidence of payment claims was found

- the senator's letter says.

Recall that story about alleged payments by Russian intelligence to the Taliban for attacks on the American military in Afghanistan appeared in The New York Times in the summer of 2020. At the same time, the newspaper could not provide any evidence.

Later, Donald Trump, then the US president, said that the newspapermen "fabricated another hoax about Russia." The head of the Central Command (CENTCOM) of the US Armed Forces, General Kenneth Mackenzie, came to the same opinion, saying that the newspaper's claims about collusion between Russia and the Taliban were unconvincing and groundless.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called these publications "completely false."

When the Anglo-Saxons talk about the Russians, they do not need any proof by definition (Hiley Likely) ... all the propaganda of the United States and its allies is aimed at dehumanizing the Russians, and this Trump and the United States Congress stuck in the same series.
All this will then be used to justify sanctions, terrorist and sabotage acts against Russia.

You see, as long as there is a division of humanity into peoples and countries, with different views on life and the idea of ​​what is truth and what is a lie, such spreading cranberries from the United States will always appear.

From the last "cranberry" from the Anglo-Saxons about the "hand" of Moscow - the "poisoning" of Litvinenko, the downed Boeing over Ukraine, the "poisoning" of the Skripals, the Trump elections, the "poisoning" of Navalny and his subsequent landing, the cold in Texas, the Kennedy assassination and the like. If you want to strangle your opponents and competitors, there will always be a reason to impose sanctions.

This canoe is already more than 500 years old, after the Rurikovichs, Ivan 3 and Ivan 4, began to strengthen and expand Russia, so you need to take it for granted and not get discouraged.

I don't quite agree. Truth and lies are the same for everyone. However, different societies look at the very fact of the presence of lies in different ways. The presence of double standards for the sake of profit, it allows. And this is one of the cornerstones of Western civilization.

No, the Americans paid the dushmans and supplied them with weapons - can they do that?
I wouldn’t spare any money so that they could get banged more there in Afghanistan ...

And I am most annoyed by this: "demanded." We can say infuriates. If I had my way, they would try to demand from me. I would have demanded them!
Scoundrels!

Why are you so outraged that US Senator Tammy Duckworth demanded something from the Director of US National Intelligence Avril Haynes?

[depressant]

Why are you so outraged that US Senator Tammy Duckworth demanded something from the Director of US National Intelligence Avril Haynes?

Therefore, colleague, I am outraged that the demand of US Senator Tammy Duckworth to the director of US National Intelligence Eurel Haynes will be followed by a memorandum from Eurel Haynes sent to the US Senate, demanding "a good squeeze of these Russians." Ultimately, in some mysterious, but quite a negative way, this will affect the ordinary citizens of Russia - they will squeeze us. Isn't the way we are consistently and relentlessly pressed economically - it is not a long-term political outcome of the efforts of the United States?

[military_cat]

It is clear, that is, we are talking about the consequences of the requirement. You just wrote above what drives you mad and annoying the most. this: "demanded", as if we are talking about the very fact of a politician's demand for something from an official.

..

So I do not understand why ours are silent on this topic. Why not publish the data on how much it cost the Americans to help the spooks who fought against us in Afghanistan, with the transfer for which they paid. After all, these data are in the archives and to make a secret out of them, there is no sense.

In the photo for the note - UMP machine gun crews.
In fact, it is an analogue of a "test tube at the UN session".

[Lech from Android.]

The Taliban use sniper rifles of the Western armies in the capture of military bases of the puppet Afghan army ... look at your leisure how they do it ... have learned to open their bases like cans.

[Runway]

You do not confuse the post with a strong point equipped in the engineering plan?
Why is your statement - I do not understand.

[Cowbra]

Well, here the reason is simple - the Taliban and Russia have a common goal - to destroy the production of drugs in Afghanistan, which is protected by the United States, in their own office. data, here literally 5 minutes ago I posted a picture here in another topic, I repeat:

https://fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RL32686.pdf
Drug production in Afghanistan. The end of 2001 is the invasion of the city. An official report published by the US Congressional Research Service in 2009 called Afghanistan: Narcotics and US Policy.
It is clear that the United States believes that the Russian Federation is helping the Taliban))) The actions of all those around them write from themselves, and the United States has always supported illegal armed groups in such cases.

But with the arrival of the Americans, the flow of drugs to Russia increased 60-fold. And this is not possible without human participation.

[your1970]

I don't like Americans either - but about 60 times you turned it down ...

[tihonmarine]

In the United States, the topic of alleged payments made by Russian intelligence to the Taliban for the killings of the American military in Afghanistan is being raised again.

And they did not forget to declassify how much they sent to support terrorist groups, coups and overthrow of rulers they did not like.

[rotmistr60]

In the United States, the topic of allegedly ...

Well, the American senators will not calm down. They continue to trample on Trump by animating old fakes. It is possible that the new administration and intelligence leadership will find "evidence" that will become the topic of discussion of the next sanctions against Russia and the political "demise" of Trump.

[rocket757]

release intelligence on alleged payments by Russian intelligence to militants of the Russian-banned Taliban for attacks on the US military in Afghanistan.

Someone doubts that such "information, evidence" will be found?

[cniza]

Well, you can think of anything you want, it's problematic to prove. although this never stopped them, but in this case it is a declaration of war ...

[rocket757]

a gentleman is supposed to take his word for it ...
when will the card be trampled on to us ??? would sooner!

[cniza]

There are no gentlemen there, from the word at all ...

We know, and they keep on hearing like instincts. They don't have another record.

This is their limited world and it is very difficult to enlighten them, only by practice ...

America, everything for America, Americans and further down the list ... this is how they lived, live and will live.

We are not going to interfere with them, but they come to us ...

They climb EVERYWHERE .. they are so multi-climbing, everywhere and everywhere!

[cniza]

So far, yes, but it seems that soon their agility will significantly decrease ...

[rocket757]

Yes, they even now do their own business more closely, it will be more serious to do it only for the benefit if they do it according to their WITES ...

[cniza]

Now the moment is coming when every step will be fateful ...

[rocket757]

Yes figs on them, let them play pranks .... all the old podlyankas, more or less understandable, and the new ones, these are long forgotten old ones and it is unlikely that there is still something especially harmful there.

[cniza]

Yes, we absolutely do, but the lights are like an elephant in a china shop ...

[rocket757]

We do not have shops ... shopping stalls, but next to the smithy, for example, and the FORGE with the HAMMER! No, if the elephant does not roam, he will immediately get a pig in the forehead, and the trunk will be tied in a knot.

[tralflot1832]

Insanity grew stronger. They think that their "farting butterflies" and bombing only with cakes, they can only kill for money. They took out a dollar for their brain. They can't understand that there are places on the planet where people are killed just for being an American. For they got sun-faced plugs in each barrel.

[Dmitry Makarov]

Publish your Taliban card number, I will do my best.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Is it possible to declassify payments from the United States to Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Arabs in Chechnya? The people of the United States will probably be interested in how much money and weapons were transferred to the terrorists.

Everyone is measured by themselves and suspected of all actions that they themselves carry out ...

They all crumple under themselves and try to trample !!! Otherwise, they do not recognize.

It is a sin to refuse a useful experience, it is not even necessary to discuss it.

Ugh, damn it! I thought that the payroll was found in some village. Abdullah 500, Sadyk 1000, crosses instead of signatures (because they are illiterate). At the bottom there is a stamp: "the accounting department of the GRU", signature "Ivanov". Yes, and also a pen resolution: "Approved. Putin."

[rocket757]

Tell me, they will find something else! The fantasy is irrepressible there, but at the expense of conscience and honor, we have never heard from the definition, NEVER!

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

I support the legal demands of fellow Senator Tammy Duckworth! The editors of The New York Times must submit materials on which they made such a loud statement! This is a matter of jurisdiction, people want to know the sources that allow this to be stated, and this is clearly not gerych, but something more difficult :)

[Israel]

It looks like nonsense, why should Russia offer money to the Taliban, if the latter are already at war with the Americans. And if you believe the media, the information was received from some prisoner who had heard that someone allegedly Russian representatives offered money for an attack on the Americans.
Maybe, of course, the US is looking for an excuse for the defeat in Afghanistan, and again it is Russia to blame.

I wonder whether national intelligence will take facts about payments from the ceiling or the floor or the finger?
