Veterans Group Rips Traitor Trump OverRussian Bounties To Kill U.S. Soldiers

UPDATE: In April 2021, 10 months after The New York Times , Associated Press  and Washington Post  reported on U.S. intelligence that Russia had offered secret bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans, the Biden administration said that CIA analysts only have “low to moderate confidence” that the bounty program ever existed.

A group of veterans opposed to President Donald Trump released a new video calling him out over reports that the U.S. government knew the Russian military paid bounties to Afghan militants for killing American soldiers. 

On Friday, The New York Times reported  that Trump was briefed on the situation in March, but took no action against Russia. To the contrary, Trump said he would like to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the next G-7 meeting in September.

Trump said on Twitter that he was not briefed about the alleged bounties, called the Times “fake news” and claimed “nobody’s been tougher on Russia” than his administration. 

VoteVets ripped into him. 

“Putin owns Donald Trump,” the organization wrote on Twitter , along with the #TRE45SON hashtag that went viral over the weekend . The group also released a new video:

“Intelligence reports on his desk. He says nothing to his master. Takes no action to protect us,” the voiceover stated. “If you’re going to act like a traitor, you don’t get to thank us for our service.”
