Nothing because its a non story. Everybody knows this stuff happens in every military conflict.
Russia putting bounties on Americans as our president campaigns for them to be readmitted to the G7?
Oh well he says he didnt know about it. But you say everyone knows about it. This is all so confusing.
Russia did the same thing during the Syria conflict and we've been running proxy wars like this for years. Trump knows, nobody in power will admit it though. The G7 is another political play that amounts to nothing more than "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Its been this way for centuries.
Trump has visited with Putin SIX TIMES this year and has yet to even mention it to the Russian leader.
Trump says he never discussed alleged Russian bounties in calls with Putin
"That was a phone call to discuss other things," Mr. Trump told "Axios on HBO."

But his Secretary of State, Pompeo, did bring it up with his Russian counterpart back in July. But interestingly, he never mentioned it to the press at the time until it was leaked by the NYT a few days ago. Wouldn't you think this was worth sharing with the media back in July? One can only assume that Pompeo was trying to keep it quiet to hide his inquiry from his Boss.
Sources: Pompeo Warned Russia's Lavrov in July About Bounties
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered a warning to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in July against Moscow paying Taliban-linked militants bounties to kill U.S. service members...
Just a heads up, Trump still hasn't denounced the bounties placed on our Troops by Russia, doesn't believe Russia was behind the poisoning of Putin opposition leader Alexel Navalny (despite every single intelligence source saying so) and has called troops "losers and suckers".
But he's found the time to condemn and call for the firing of the reporters from the Atlantic and Fox who broke the story about him.
How the fuk are ya'll still defending this nut job?

It is incredibly bizarre, isn't it?
But it certainly illustrates the power that 'culture' has over our elections. Trump learned four years ago that if he 'said all the right things.' he'd have Chudland eating out of his hands. Under normal circumstances, the case for Biden and against Trump couldn't be more stark. One might even go so far as to say it's the biggest "no brainer" Presidential election in our nation's history.
But hard core, rally-going, conservatives have become conditioned to "root for the home team" no matter how incredibly stupid it makes them look. The way that these lower middle class, high school-educated, white people, particularly those living outside of major population centers, have had their "cultural strings pulled" by the rich elites in our country (except for that 'non-PC talkin' Regular Joe,' Donald Trump, right guys?) has been as appalling as it is predictable.
For TDS you. Not for the rest of the rational people who realize what a presidency under Biden would be like
