Perfect, now Trumpers can disregard and blame Obama!

Makes sense now why US is still occupying Afghanistan.

WTF did the US think was going to happen to the Taliban?

They must have known about Russia's contribution to undermining the occupation for years.

And just as I suspected, conservatives on FB are blaming Obama and saying Trump was never fully briefed but "even if he was, what about Benghazi?!"

@TheGreatGeno6

You are right. Conservatism is a disease to America.
Glad to see you're finally realizing the truth

Why wouldn't this fall under responsibility of the Secretary of State, Pentagon, or a 4* General?

I understand its useful info for a President to have, but it seems minor enough that it should've been delegated and not something the President should have to resolve.

Because a foreign nuclear power is paying money to a hostile force to kill your soldiers. As commander-in-chief you have some responsibility for responding to that, because it's almost certainly a policy your counterpart in that other country approved to begin with.

Because it hurts Trump so media will put his name on it. Even though the NYT article said it was NATO forces being targeted so it not just US Troops they were going after which is getting buried so hard.

It might surprise you to know that the majority of those NATO forces are American.

And it raises the question - if the head of state were being briefed on this, why weren't NATO counterparts informed, too? I feel like if they were there would have been a bigger uproar about it earlier.

I think normally a President would have spoken out against it or threatened sanctions instead of first denying & then staying silent.

I'm not sure why it actually happening is such a shock. Remember when the US was collaborating with the Mujahideen to kill Soviet soldiers and undermine their occupation of Afghanistan? This is nothing new between the US and Russia.

About two weeks ago

My point here is that it's not a media ploy to target Trump specifically, and the fact that this information was potentially withheld up until as recently as a week or two ago is pretty fudged up.

Yep

This is what happens when your Administration is compromised by a hostile foreign nation.
