It's kinda like "they're gonna kill our troops" but the bounties make them kill our troops deader?
I think the liberals are REALLY underestimating our guys in the field - "heads on a swivel".
ETA: The only difference between the bounties we pay and the bounties others may pay against us - we call ours "rewards".

If we did, I would consider that launching a war with Russia. So I do not expect Russia (from the top) to do that either.
Bounties move the boundary from a cold war to a hot one. I don't believe we should even be having a cold war with Russia anymore. We need to reassess that relationship.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

It would not surprise me - they're still miffed that we killed some of their senior commanders in Syria.
Plus, Putin disavowed them as private "mercenaries" who just happened to be Russians. Maybe he disavowed them because they were slaughtered so handily, and it embarrassed him? I don't know.
We will still have proxy wars.
What did Obama call it, a "reset button"? His was faulty. Time to try it again.
