pelosi, the old bonkers woman, becomes mrs lash in an anti-rusky orgy...Earlier, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez formally requested new sanctions be imposed on top Russian officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, over unconfirmed allegations that Russia offered reward money to Taliban-linked militants to assassinate US soldiers. US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the United States must impose sanctions against Russia immediately over claims that Moscow offered "bounties" to Taliban-linked militants to encourage them to kill US troops. "We must institute sanctions against Russia and we must do it right away," Pelosi said in an interview with MSNBC.Her comments echoed those of Senator Bob Menendez, in which he called for sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and other top officials in the country over allegations in media reports that Moscow offered reward money for the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. Responding to the possibility of new sanctions over the unconfirmed claims, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that events happening in the United States are "difficult to understand" and "hard to explain". The attacks on Russia over the allegations continue, despite the fact that a recent Pentagon report did not find corroborating evidence of Moscow-sourced bounties, only noting that Russia “very likely continues to support US-Taliban reconciliation efforts in the hope that reconciliation will prevent a long-term US military presence”. The US Department of Defence has repeatedly noted there is no information to confirm Friday's Nytimes.com article in which the bounty allegations were sparked. US President Donald Trump dismissed claims that he was informed on unverified intelligence on the matter, insisting that "it didn't rise to that level" and suggesting that a "secret source" cited by the New York Times "probably does not even exist". The allegations have been denied on all sides, with the Kremlin slamming the reports as "nonsense" and the Taliban refuting them while noting that its actions are not related to foreign intelligence agencies or governments.

Meanwhile the "story" now goes back to the time of Obama's administration:
The explosive reports on "Russian bounties" offered to Taliban-linked militants to kill US soldiers are slowly turning into some kind of a saga, as now US media has offered new "details" on the claims. As reported by NYT claims described as "intelligence" on Russia offering money to the Taliban for killing US soldiers circulate through the media headlines, the story continues to develop particulars - never mind that the very beginning of it has not been confirmed by a single official entity. Ignoring the avalanche of scepticism and denial of the initial allegations from all sides, the US media sticks to the storytelling, moving on to reveal that the "Russian-Taliban bounties" appear to date back several years.The Daily Beast, citing alleged ex-spokesman for Taliban leader Mullah Omar, Manan Niazi, who spoke via encrypted phone call, |
