On June 27, The New York Times (NYT) published an article claiming that Russia offered rewards to supporters of the Taliban group in Afghanistan for every attack on the US occupation forces, and that as a result of it Several US military personnel had been killed.
According to the newspaper, the information reached President Donald Trump in March from the hands of the American intelligence agencies, and even the White House was considering options for an official response to the alleged actions of the Kremlin.
The article shows no evidence or reliable sources to prove its claim. On the contrary, to support the "finding" that anonymous representatives of the intelligence of the United States would have leaked, they only rely on quotes from anonymous sources. It is nothing more than a propaganda operation to prevent the US from leaving Afghanistan and ending the war.
Apparently, intelligence agencies discovered Russia's "pact" with the Taliban on the basis of interrogations of captured witnesses. In the text, the NYT does not elaborate on how the alleged conspiracy was funded.
The NYT's unverified story was replicated by the Wall Street Journal , the Washington Post , CNN , among other establishment media. The focus has been on whether Trump knew about Russia's alleged payments to the Taliban to "kill US troops," and why the White House had not resolved any more sanctions on Moscow to punish him.
It is a recurring practice. At other times , the western media apparatus has validated and promoted false stories with the aim of promoting the agendas of their owners in different geographical points, encouraging wars, coups, and regime changes.
In this case, the story is part of the anti-Russian hysteria that the Liberal Democrats, and some Republicans, have unleashed, among other things, to hit harder the chances of reelection of the White House chief and his plan to remove troops from Afghanistan.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and candidate Joe Biden attacked Trump for not being belligerent enough. Biden, for example, claimed that "he did not sanction or impose any type of consequences on Russia for this atrocious violation of international law."
Responses to the report
In a statement, the Taliban questioned the NYT publication, arguing that inaccurate information has been distributed to create inconvenience to the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
"This crude machinery illustrates the low level of brainpower of American intelligence propagandists, who instead of inventing something more plausible have to do this nonsense," said the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The Trump administration denied that the president or vice president was aware of the intelligence agency report, denouncing the core rationale for the NYT "report."
The Pentagon itself said that it had "no supporting fact to recognize as reliable the recent allegations contained in public sources." This was stated by the official spokesperson for the institution, Jonathan Hoffman.
It is not Russia that funds terrorist groups
More than just sabotaging Trump's candidacy, the agreed campaign between international media focuses on foreign policy, seeking to dynamite any dialogue that makes it lose dominance of strategic territories to the US, and instead, strengthen countries of the emerging bloc .
The US military and intelligence agencies are in the process of highly volatile talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan, mediated by the Russians, after more than 18 years of armed conflict generated by Washington in the Middle East.
At the end of February, a peace agreement was signed in Doha (Qatar), attended by the US special representative for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, the deputy leader of the "Taliban" movement, Abdul Ghani Baradar, the secretary of the State Department, Mike Pompeo, and Russia's diplomatic envoy to Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov. Under the agreement, the United States must reduce its military troops in the country within 14 months.

It is also not surprising that the NYT's anti-Russian propaganda comes to the fore when the Russian and United States delegations are re-establishing contact to extend the Strategic Offensive Arms Treaty (START III) , currently the only nuclear weapons treaty held by both. military powers, which expires on February 5, 2021.
The uproar with Russia gives to extend the glance until Syria, terrain in which the United States has failed miserably.
Richard Haas, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, a highly influential think tank in the US, shows it in a tweet where he places the link to the NYT article: “A proportionate response (from Washington) would increase the costs for Russia of its military presence in Ukraine and Syria and, using sanctions and cybernetics, challenge Putin at home. ”
The move that leads the Democratic wing of the US political forces, in addition to being woven with mediocre fundamentals, can be reversed and hit the already discredited image of the United States as a whole.
If you dig deeper into the story, instead of tales of Russian conspiracies with terrorists, the deals between the US security forces and the Taliban, the supply of weapons to that organization and other forms of financing may come to light .
Democrats don't seem to notice that detail.

Again the agendas of the imperial bureaucracy and Democratic partisan politics coincide. This scenario as weak as the last, but Trump is weaker too. It is beyond comprehension that anyone can attach even a smidgeon of 'progressive'to this party which fights harder for eternal war than it ever fought for peace.
