Rest easy my conservative comrades, Daddy Putin is going to get to the bottom of this.
Imagine finding reality so uncomfortable you have to rationalize it in such a convoluted way.
If your neighbor repeatedly accused your son of stealing his favorite dildo (that he's named 'Democracy' for some reason), but refused to give you any evidence that he actually had, would you give up your son?
What would you think of your neighbour?
What do you think your other neighbours would think of him? -
2020-07-03 at 6:22 AM UTCAnd nobody's even tried to explain why Russia (or anyone else) would bother offering to pay the Taliban bounties to attack US soldiers when they're already enthusiastically attacking US soldiers.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

But you already did
Originally posted by aldra What would Russia have to gain by offering 'bounties' for US kills?
3. As it stands, Afghanistan is already a massive quagmire that's sucking US military capabilities away from more important (to Russian interests) fronts like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Iran. Why would they want to disrupt the status quo?
It's pretty clear, unless

The situation in Afghanistan is ALREADY a quagmire and not changing.
If you wanted the US tied up in that quagmire instead of focusing resources in other areas that run counter to your interests, encouraging MORE engagement makes sense.
I'm surprised you're failing to make that connection.

It doesn't though. Like I said the claims would make more sense if they were accusing Russia of sending them arms and supplies in order to increase their lethality and/or survivability, but bounties make no sense because it's already an active warzone. The locals are already targeting US forces; offering them money does not increase engagement or effectiveness, it's just a waste of money -
2020-07-03 at 2:33 PM UTCLolz yeah because money has never been a useful motivating factor.
-
2020-07-03 at 2:43 PM UTCnot when they're already very-well motivated
-
2020-07-03 at 2:53 PM UTCOk well they're already motivated, so I'm sure they wouldn't want say 5-10k for personal use for every confirmed kill.
What the fuck was a thinking lolz -

go back and reread.
if they're already motivated and already attacking US soldiers of their own accord, why would anyone pay them to do it -

Are you a human being? You honestly believe cash rewards wouldn't provide motivation to a fighter to fight harder? Especially if those fighters are not wealthy?
Is anyone else reading this shit?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-07-03 at 3:51 PM UTCYeah, because they're not fighting as hard as they can against an invading army anyway. The threat of their homeland being encroached upon is nothing compared to the allure of a few shiny shekels.
Again: Why would anyone pay them to do a job they're already doing? Would you?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You're also ignoring the fact that said cash could be used to further their cause. Provide food water and shelter for a fighter's family. Arm them for the fight. Medical supplies for wounded. Any number of things. All while providing a result oriented investment for the party providing the funds simultaneously making it harder to trace compared to outright arming them.
You're being incredibly naive, bro.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-07-03 at 4:06 PM UTCIf that were the goal they'd simply pay and supply them.
AGAIN: Offering bounties makes no sense.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-07-03 at 4:24 PM UTCMaybe in your twitter fueled Stratego mindset, but this is the real world where cash is king.
