US claim of 'Russian Bounty' plot in Afghanistan is dubious and dangerous

from Pushback with Aaron Mate · host Pushback with Aaron Maté

Multiple US outlets, citing anonymous intelligence officials, are claiming that Russia offered bounties to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan and that President Trump has taken no action. The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal breaks down the story's flaws and how it continues a Russiagate-era push of the Democratic Party to the right. "The constant flow of Russiagate disinformation into the bloodstream of the Democratic Party and its base is moving that party constantly to the right, while pushing the US deeper into this Cold War," Blumenthal says. Guest: Max Blumenthal, editor of The Grayzone and author of several books, including his latest "The Management of Savagery." Support Pushback at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate
