there the Article says, Trump had no information of a collusion and co operation between the Taliban and Russia. And that the CIA did not -report- to the White House anything of that sort. That Russia offered secretly money to the Taliban to kill US troops.

All is fair in love & war as long as it can be plausibly denied!

A notorious liar - The New York Times - quoting a secret document from notorious liars - US intelligence services. What's not to believe?

But if true, then Times is guilty of treason.

The U.S. has a law called the Espionage Act that can be used to prosecute the media for publishing classified information. The law has been used to prosecute data leakers 11 times in the country’s history – seven times under President Obama, including against Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning.

Let's put these Times leakers in prison, where they belong, not only for leaking classified information, but for lying and contributing to a hostile climate between Russia and USA, and inciting international violence.

The absurdity of the New York Slimes in claiming that Russia is the primary actor in inciting the Taliban to shoot people and break things, given that anyone with $money$ can buy all types of weapons in the marketplace in neighboring Pakistan, and that Pakistan has a intelligence service that supplies weapons to Taliban, and that Iran, Afghanistan's other neighbor, is the first-place trophy winner as world's leading armaments supplier to terrorists, well that claim is as absurd as their, the Slimes', claim that the US president peed on Obama's former bed in a Russian hotel.

If true by this is about as close to a declaration of war as possible. It's rare that the WSJ, Wapo, and NY Times are all 100% in agreement on a story. Dobby better hope this isn't true.

what surprises me.-normally- one can see a fax, a letter, an e mal,sms, or any other -proof - that an order was given. or was it all verbally only?

The US supplied stinger missiles to knock out Russian helicopters in a previous incarnation of civilization, Afghanistan-style...but that was not a "declaration of war"? Why is the Slimes trying to incite a war? Stealing and publishing classified intel, also know as "espisonage" should get the reporters multiple-decades in prison. Inciting a nation to war should get the treasonous Times permanently SHUT DOWN. [/QUOTE]

About as rare as the sun rising in the East. If they disagreed, that would be like the sun rising in the West.

The Times is lying. They have been lying every day for the past 4 years, about Trump. Why would anyone give them any credibility? The Times is the "Boy Who Cried Wolf". After he cries "wolf!" for the 1200th time, why would anyone listen?

It's the same trick the FBI and CIA pull:

FBI: "We have some damaging info about Trump"
Public: Source?
FBI: "We can't reveal the source."
Public: Why?
FBI "Classified information."
Public: So you have damaging info on Trump but you have no proof?
FBI: "We have proof. but we can't reveal the proof, because it's classified information.
Public: So you can;t provide any proof?
FBI: You just have to trust us.

Has the FBI or the Slimes ever lied? No, because they never claimed that what they are saying is the truth. They can fall back on the "unnamed sources" or "classified intel" travesty to delegitimize anyone questioning their veracity.

The Times is lying. .

The Times was the only news organization to advocate the Hillary/nuke conspiracy story during the 2016 election. Were they lying then?

The problem with Dobby is that he's not above assassinating citizens of foreign countries nor bombing his own people. So this wouldn't come as a shock.

Source? I doubt the Times would run a story criticizing Hillary, especially in 2016, unless it was to setup her opponent for a greater fall. And they would not originate it. They likely took it from another source, to discredit what ever that other source claimed. Damage control.

The problem with Dobby is that he's not above assassinating citizens of foreign countries nor bombing his own people. So this wouldn't come as a shock.

You are referring to Hillary? The One, who, with her "Arab Spring" program, from her State Department Policy war-room, bombed more countries that any president in US history. Or Hussein, who was upset that the Supreme Court declared his attempt to bomb US citizens in foreign countries, illegal.

“It can be damaging to constantly be reading the news because constant exposure to negative information can impact our brain,” says Annie Miller, MSW, LCSW-C, LICSW. When we experience a threat, Miller says our brain activates the fight or flight response, and the systems in our body react accordingly.

(As a musician, I like to think I help other people undo the problems caused by the "news." https://forum.expat.ru/showthread.ph...-Lasts-Forever)

Consuming the news can activate the sympathetic nervous system, which causes your body to release stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Then, when a crisis is happening, and we are experiencing this stress response more frequently, Miller says physical symptoms may arise. Some of the most common symptoms are fatigue, anxiety, depression, and trouble sleeping.

This emotional toll and negative effect on the psyche was demonstrated in a study ("The psychological impact of negative TV news bulletins: The catastrophizing of personal worries" Wendy M. Johnston Graham C. L. Davey) that found people who watched negative material, as compared to those who watched positive or neutral material, showed an increase in both anxious and sad moods only after 14-minutes of viewing television news bulletins and programs. In addition to an increase in anxious and sad moods, the researchers also found the results to be consistent with the theories of worry that implicate negative mood as a causal factor in facilitating worrisome thought.
