As the #RussianBounty story continues to develop, we asked several of our experts @TheWilsonCenter for their take: if true, why would Russia do this, what responses from the US & Russia may we expect, & what are the long-term impacts?
Here is a thread w/ a few takeaways

"Russia’s alleged use of bounty payments to Afghans to kill active duty US military personnel may be new, but it is in line with emerging trends in Russian doctrine and geopolitical strategy."

"Unless Washington consistently and credibly makes clear to Moscow its red lines and willingness to enforce them, the United States will spend too much time bogged down in disputes over Kremlin activities where our interests conflict." - William Hill
