US Senate Voting on Proposed Additional Initiative to Withdraw Troops from Afghanistan. Senator Rand Paul takes the lead. He suggested that President Trump's proposal for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan be enshrined in a draft law on defense policy.
In the event of such a consolidation, no one in the United States would have had the opportunity to influence the withdrawal procedure.. Powered by Rand Paul Initiative, US troops must leave Afghanistan within a year. Moreover, each of the servicemen will have to receive an additional payment in the amount of 2,5 one thousand dollars.
However, most senators decided, that such a proposal cannot be supported. So, supported the initiative 33 representative of the upper house of the American Congress, a 60 said no.
they, who voted against, stated, that Rand Paul's initiative is “not the best, which would put an end to the war in Afghanistan ".
But with renewed vigor, the Congress is ready to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions against Russia for, what Russian intelligence allegedly offered the Taliban ("Taliban" – terrorist group, forbidden in the Russian Federation) money for an attack on American troops in Afghanistan. Sanctions are proposed to be introduced, as often happens in the USA, based on media publication. In this case, we are talking about an article in the NYT publication - the same, which Donald Trump calls "fake news". apparently, to enhance the effect, the USA decided to publish the actual "rewrite" of that article in another edition – The Washington Post. Moreover, both publications - with reference to unnamed persons.
