But if elected POTUS Joe Biden will give Iran Nukes and billions of dollars in sanctions relief, that Iran would use to murder Americans and Israelis. That alone should prevent Joe Biden from receiving your vote.
US intelligence indicates Iran paid bounties to Taliban for targeting American troops in Afghanistan
By CNN, August 18, 2020
US intelligence agencies assessed that Iran offered bounties to Taliban fighters for targeting American and coalition troops in Afghanistan, identifying payments linked to at least six attacks carried out by the militant group just last year alone, including a suicide bombing at a US air base in December, CNN has learned.
Story continues below advertisement“Bounties” were paid by a foreign government, identified to CNN as Iran, to the Haqqani network — a terrorist group that is led by the second highest ranking leader of the Taliban — for their attack on Bagram Air Base on December 11, which killed two civilians and injured more than 70 others, including four US personnel, according to a Pentagon briefing document reviewed by CNN.The name of the foreign government that made these payments remains classified but two sources familiar with the intelligence confirmed to CNN that it refers to Iran.
The US killed a key Iranian general in Iraq less than a month after the Bagram attack but after a lengthy process involving several agencies to develop options aimed at countering Iran’s support for militant groups in Afghanistan. The decision was made in March not to take specific action as officials did not want to jeopardize the peace process with the Taliban, according to multiple sources familiar.The revelation that Iran might have paid the Taliban follows the controversy over Russian bounties for attacks on American troops, an issue that has been consistently downplayed by the Trump administration in recent weeks.Russia has denied the allegation.The lack of public condemnation of Iran or the Taliban and the decision not to pursue a diplomatic or military response also highlights the administration’s apparent desire to protect peace talks with the Taliban — which culminated in an agreement that was signed in February — at all costs with the goal of helping Trump fulfill his long-stated campaign promise of removing American troops from Afghanistan.Sophisticated attack rattled officials
The attack at Bagram, which is regarded as the most prominent US military installation in Afghanistan, was highly sophisticated and rattled officials working on Afghanistan matters because it highlighted vulnerabilities of some of the American compounds, according to one source involved in the Taliban peace efforts.Specifically, the Pentagon briefing document noted that a suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (SVBIED) was used in the attack. Roughly 10 Taliban fighters engaged in a firefight with local security forces after the explosion and were ultimately killed by US airstrikes.That sentiment was also factored into assessments by US intelligence officials from the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) in the days after the attack, according to documents obtained by CNN.

Yes, in the long run we need to build an alliance of democracies, and share power and money with them. Of the 196 UN countries, about 2/3 have tyrant governments, so they like tyrants, and support tyrants.
But right now, Pompeo can force a snap-back to full sanctions, and that will wake the others up to the seriousness of the situation. ANY of the immediate neighbors of Iran could be nuked tomorrow. Iran has enough highly enriched uranium for at least one nuke. And they have several missile types that can reach those capital cities.

Iran paid bounties for dead Americans with US tax dollars provided by Obama. Fix the title for you.

I typically earn close to 6,000-8,000 dollars each and every 4 weeks through the internet. It is absolutely enough to very easily substitute my prior workplace net earnings, precisely seeing that I only do the work approximately 20 hr weekly from a home office. I got obviate my occupation after doing job for only one corporation for several months, I required very reliable revenue. I was not looking for make money programs which promises to make you cash rich just a few days that you find all over the internet. Probably the most thrilling part of carrying out work on the web is that I’m always home with all the children and also enjoy so much freetime together with my loved ones on many amazing beaches of the beautiful nations. Honestly,it is simpler than you would think, all you need to do is submit a simple form to get front line access to the Home Profit System. The directions are in very simple language, you dont need to become a computer guru, but you should possess skills to use internet. It’s as simple as being on Instagram. Here’s the process to start ==> http://wunkit.com/6UsaAA

“But if elected POTUS Joe Biden will give Iran Nukes and billions of dollars in sanctions relief, that Iran would use to murder Americans and Israelis. That alone should prevent Joe Biden from receiving your vote.”
But the questions remain: Why are our troops STILL in Afghanistan (we’ve been there – what is it now – NINETEEN YEARS???) and why were they ever sent there?
The only legitimate use of the armed forces of a country is to protect the country from invasion by a foreign power.
Period.
Exclamation point!
And,to the best of my knowledge, Afghanistan has never threatened to or attempted to invade our country.

Genius Democrats confounding Iranian for Russians with regard to bounty on killing US soldiers. I guess Taliban do it also without bounty.

How did they pay these bounties??? It’s not like Iran has pallets of cash laying around.
Anyways…when pressed about Iran potentially using the billions for anti-American terrorism, the Patriotic Obama WH regime said “yeah…we know they will”.
And the media…like lizards…cleaned their eyeballs with their tongues and moved on to their next question that involved Obama and his breakfast choice.

Can we pay bounties for DEMOCRATS = COMMUNISTS ?

The big story was it was the Russians, and the Democrats blamed it on Trump.
Now a bigger story, Iran paying bounties.
They wanted all kinds of actions against Russia, but I’m not hearing much about that now.
