FEMA to use Russian security for events in the US

I guess US agencies and companies are not good enough for security purposes, now FEMA has contracted with Russia for security.

Am I misunderstanding? Isn't it against the law? What if the threat is from a Russian source? This is just idiotic.

If the Russians don't want to bring their own wheels, perhaps they can borrow a few of the 2,700 MRAP's that DHS bought.

Looks like we are getting pretty close to GAME ON. Never thought I would live to see the day.

R.I.P. America!

Are we going to see uniformed Russians at events? No. Are we going to see non-uniformed Russian observers? Yes.

I've got some mixed feelings about this story.

I think the intent of the agreement is to share information and training techniques, including on how to respond to emergencies caused by terrorists at major events.

Certainly the kind of thing we should do with an ally.

But is Russia an ally?

When we give them info about our emergency response measures, we lose all control over who they share it with. Those planning an attack on us would love to have that info...

OTOH, the Russians have been dealing with terrorism and emergencies for a long time, so maybe the can give us some useful tips.

My problem is I've developed a distrust of large government. When they announce something new and say, 'Trust us, this is good for you', I automatically get suspicious.

This is what President Sock Monkey meant when he said "tell Putin I'll have more flexibility after the election"!
