Why would Putin put a bounty on US soldiers? I think he wanted to know how far he could push

[Liberal In Red State]

dRump before he pushed back. He has his answer . . . he now knows he can kill Americans and nothing will happen to him. Whatever kompromat Putin has on dRump must be hugely embarrassing and/or damaging. I can’t help wondering what could be more embarrassing than a pee tape?

[soothsayer]

1. Probably to win a bar bet

[leftieNanner]

2. And his military aircraft have been buzzing Alaska

No push-back on that yet either from the Idiot-in-Chief.

[Pantagruel]

3. "more embarrassing than a pee tape' ?

How about documentation showing Trump laundered money for the Russian mobs for years? I doubt you can go to jail for getting peed on or watching same but money laundering comes with jail time.

7. Possible that putin has trump's tax returns. Nails in trump's russian debt coffin

[GusBob]

4. Oil, money, power

likely causes

disrupt the peace process and democracy most likely

[blm]

5. To force US out of region. Control oil.

[duforsure]

6. Grooming him

To do a lot worse things for him, and for putin restructuring his debts to Duesche Bank. Putin corrupts people then takes it further seeing if they'll do it. trump is doing that with people in his administration too.Then when they won't do worse they get replaced with someone who will do it for him.

8. I think he already knew. He's a bully like Trump but

infinitely more competent. He's already proven that he enjoys inflicting petty hurts and humiliations on Trump (as Soothsayer says, "to win a bar bet&quot , not just heavy attacks in his warfare against America.

No doubt this is part of the war, of course. At very least he knows we don't like to hear those we used to call "our boys over there" are being killed. The more deaths, the more support for turning our back on that whole region.

[SoonerPride]

9. Because he can.

trump can't stand up to him at all and he knows it.

[Cattledog]

10. Payback for the US arming the Mujahideen

in Afghanistan to kill Russians.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Winner winner chicken dinner!!!

You are so right on with that statement. And,Afghanistan has massive deposits of Rare Earth Metals that are easily available. Why do you think China has a Foot Print in Afghanistan.

Plus Opium,and Russia has a major Opium Addiction problem which caused their defeat in Afghanistan by Bin Laden.

[2naSalit]

14. +1

[world wide wally]

11. It's all about Putin calling in his debt that Trump owes

[PatSeg]

13. Yes, I think Putin is enjoying himself

trying to see how far he can push his useful idiot, like a cat torturing a mouse. I'm sure he it is great fun for him.

15. Trump is deeply in debt to Russian oligarchs & Putin's pet bank. nt

[Liberal In Red State]

16. Agreed!!!!
