As much as I despise Trump from the very start, I couldn't imagine that he would allow the killing of American soldiers. I really could have never imagined that Republicans and the right would support it.

I was shocked when Kim sent back an American prisoner in body bag and the right supported that. This baffles my mind.

Neither the White House nor the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) have addressed the credibility of the intelligence as described but have disputed the Times’s account that Trump was briefed on the information

It's not an "argument". It's an informed assessment.

Propaganda outlets routinely parrot what the others say if it supports the shared political agenda. There's seldom any attempt to independently verify, so the fact that others are repeating the Times story does nothing to lend it credibility.

Its insanity! Liberals have gone off the deep end!

This liberal wants to know why the hell are we still in Afghanistan? Just WHAT are likely to accomplish now that couldn't have been accomplished years ago? And please, spare me the 'if we don't fight them over there we'll have to fight them over here' nonsense. They tried to sell that BS as justification for the Vietnam War and now we trade with them Could've started trading in 1965 and saved a whole bunch of misery & $$$.


And as much as I think Putin's a POS, bounty or no bounty, are we really supposed to be surprised that when we invade another country that the invaders will be subject to attack?

In other words, the ODNI said The Times is lying.

Why are you using Warmbier to deflect from the (non)topic? Sad.
In response .. no we didn't support it. If anything, you supported Obama in doing nothing for Warmbier.

ODNI disputes the Times claim that Trump was briefed on the Russian bounty story, but does not dispute the credibility of the bounty story itself.

How is this any different than Obama doing nothing while we were cyber attacked by Iran and NK? You can't just start a war with a nuclear power. Everyone loses.

WhataboutObama is not going to help those soldiers with a Russian price on their head.

Would it be possible to put aside these feeble attempts to derail the thread?
