No, when it comes to fighting I have a bad case of Japanese pragmatism, understand there is no rules and play to win.

Which is why I never lost a duel. 

I understand very well that there are rules in fighting, I mean I have lived by that all my life, but to me there is no playing, just winning where anything go's!!!!!!

Peace

Just curious, aren't coalition soldiers paid to kill Taliban "soldiers" too?

 Well yes coalition soldiers are paid a monthly wage for their service, not for how many in this case Taliban they kill, if US Soldiers were paid a bounty in addition to their normal wages like the Taliban are, the Taliban would almost be extinct by now. Now, putting a bounty on the heads of soldiers, is the same as putting a bounty an animal. This bounty is being paid in addition to a Taliban soldiers normally paid. Maybe not to you, but to me paying bounty is very wrong and it certainly doesnt compare to wages that soldiers are paid to support their families. But, now that this has been released, many more Taliban are going to die, bounty or not. I mean just knowing your being hunted is enough to kill every Taliban or suspected Taliban you see, I mean why take any chances.

I hear you. Seriously, Russia should pay dearly for this. If all countries involved stick together there must be something they can do to retaliate and retaliate good ! 
It's time Putin gets to be "putin" his place  

I don't disagree ever with a hard done on Russia. But as often is difficult is the details.

What response would you suggest?

I'm not sure that the Taliban are paid "wages" to start with... 

Anyways... There's bounties worth millions for American soldiers to shoot for

During the George H.W. Bush administration, the US supplied arms to the Mujahideen, who were fighting the Russians.

The Mujahideen later renamed themselves Taliban.

During the George W. Bush administration, the US went to war against the Taliban.

And now, the Russians are paying the Taliban, their former enemies, to fight the US and Coalition troops.

We live in interesting times.

 

Actually no different.

Well there is little doubt that it isn't true, the Russians aren't even denying it. To they would place a bounty on our soldiers like you would on an a animal. This situation was first reported to the US apparently in sometime in March 2020, and I can understand why nothing has been said about until now, but worst of all why nothing has been done about if it true, and like I said no country is denying it, so it must be true.

Peace

They sent a chiding tweet. More info at Stars and Stripes.

They Taliban should of been wiped out using tactics preying on their religious superstitions a long time ago.

I would of had every captured fighter sodomized and would been throwing pork products everywhere.

 I think the American military were running psyop operations in Iraq and A'stan. Not sure if they're were up to your standards but they certainly had the same desired out come.

Yea, I would think so too, one thing that isn't being talked about is where the information came from, at this point it isn't clear. maybe it will come out later after all he smoke clears.

That's a great Video, and I doubt it will be the last one on this subject.

I am rather surprised that claims of fake news have not been more prominent.  Maybe Twitter will overflow tonight.

This is  another big piece of bad news before election time.

@Dejarma  Apparently the information about the bounties came from interrogations of captured Taliban fighters and from arrested criminals. This looks like it is going to be an ugly situation or the Trump Administration, sooner or later they are going to have to explain what happened, because this isn't going away, Biden is already using in Campaign Speaches. If it turns out to be true that Trump and Pence are not being honest about what is going on, its going to get ugly.

Whatever, response that is used must be strong and too the point, sanctions are certainly not the answer, it must be some form of Military response. If nothing is accomplish very soon it will make our Nation look very weak, not only in the eyes of Russia, but also in the eyes of the entire world. A situation like this can not be allowed to just pass, President Trump needs to do something about this, hopefully his relationship with Putin will not effect it.

Seriously man, I am not playing dumb, I really am unaware of the situation your talking about. I know in Iraq the US offered money for information leading to the capture of high ranking Iraqis after the invasion of Iraq. But I am unaware of anything like that happening in Afghanistan, if you know something about this please send me a PM, I really am interested in what you are talking about.

Oh and by the way was Nirvana involved in this, because Never Mind was their second album!!!!!

Peace thanks Brother

Here is an article that talks about the Afghan Security Forces payments compared to the Payment of Taliban Soldiers, so I guess they are paid.

This seems like a plan to make taliban look good so that usa could withdraw and continue peace talks. Let's blame Russia. 

[Manwon Lender 16,217]

Well Biden is tearing into Trump for not doing anything about Bounties placed on US Soldiers by Russia, man this only the beginning, the President is going to have to make a statement about this soon, with Biden on the attack about it, President Trump can't  keep avoiding the situation,.

Biden Criticizes Trump for not action on the situation of the Bounties placed on US Troops by Russia, see link below:

Don't really see you point, how does this make the Taliban look good, and how do you know that some of the recent US Deaths were not part of this bounty program.

They are said to have pay, it doesn't really say they were paid. 

Also the mujahideen were also said to have been paid for fighting the Russians, even invited to the White House... 

The "liberated" Afghan nation couldn't pay either, so no more mujahideen, now becomes taliban
