Just this morning @JohnBerman said on CNN the Biden administration was imposing sanctions on Russia for, among other things "bounties for the Taliban to go after U.S. troops there.” This is false. There is no evidence “bounties” happened. (It was not corrected by @statedeptspox )
Husain Haqqani: “American withdrawal need not return Afghanistan to the Taliban” | @thehills @husainhaqqani
Many Afghans feel U.S. is leaving them at mercy of resurgent Taliban
In addition to sanctions on Russia in response to the Solar Winds hack, senior administration officials said today the US intelligence community has “low to moderate confidence” that Russian agents attempted to place bounties on US troops in Afghanistan using Taliban or criminals
Peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government are at a stalemate but are supposed to resume later this month in Istanbul.

We have confirmed the @nytimes scoop: A Russian military spy unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to attack coalition forces in Afghanistan. From @nakashimae @missy_ryan me and @shaneharris
The White House was aware in early 2019 of intelligence indicating Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans. That’s a full year earlier than has been previously reported.
Here’s what we learned today: Trump found out Russia paid bounties to Taliban fighters to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan. He seriously considered asking them to stop. He decided to not ask them to stop. Chew on that for a sec.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial states that it doesn’t want me to act in an “impulsive” manner in Afghanistan. Could somebody please explain to them that we have been there for 19 years, and while soldier counts are way down now, hardly impulsive. Besides, the Taliban is.....
Good Lord. Per this story, POTUS was briefed and NSC discussed in March that per US Intel, a notoriously violent Russian GRU unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked terrorists to kill coalition forces, including Americans, in Afghanistan.
The Taliban has never been hit harder than it is being hit right now. Killing 12 people, including one great American soldier, was not a good idea. There are much better ways to set up a negotiation. The Taliban knows they made a big mistake, and they have no idea how to recover!
The case of Major Mathew Golsteyn is now under review at the White House. Mathew is a highly decorated Green Beret who is being tried for killing a Taliban bombmaker. We train our boys to be killing machines, then prosecute them when they kill! @PeteHegseth
You brought the Taliban to the United States the week of September 11?
