You could cite 40 more news sources that have reporting on what the Russian embassy said, there is no confusion or debate about whether or not the Russian embassy said it, so I am unsure of why that is the point you're trying to prove.

You said you're not taking Russian officials at their word, but your first reaction absolutely assumed it was true without question, and even in this post you say, "I expect there is likely video and pictures, but Russians still need to decide how they want to play it." You expert there is video and pictures of something that you think is very likely, but you're not taking the only report of it happening at it's word? I don't believe you.

Point being, Russia is not trustworthy, generally but also specifically in regards to the current political situation in Afghanistan. I don't know why you would bother debating anyone suggesting a wait and see approach on this, nor do I understand why you would bother conjuring bizarre theories about how the Russian Ambassador came to find out about it. What are you even gaining? And to say I'm picking at straws when you're literally fantasizing about situations to support your theory, based strictly on one Russian's word? Lol... come on, that's a joke and you know that's a joke.

Honestly, who cares if Ghani is American? Russia negotiated with terrorists for power. Not really a good side to pick, here.

If Ghanni hadnt left the country with 100 million or so I would be surprised, I dont need the Russian ambassador to tell me that this corrupt American stooge is exactly the same as all the others, they all bugged out with millions in various swiss bank accounts
