U.S. Hires Company With K.G.B. Link to Guard Moscow Embassy 

MOSCOW — When President Vladimir V. Putin in July ordered American diplomatic missions in Russia to slash their staff by 755 employees, the State Department said it would need time to assess the “impact of such a limitation and how we will respond to it.” 

Part of that response has now become clear: To make up for the loss of security guards axed in the Russian-mandated staff cuts, Washington has hired a private Russian company that grew out of a security business co-founded by Mr. Putin’s former K.G.B. boss, an 82-year-old veteran spy who spent 25 years planting agents in Western security services and hunting down their operatives. 

Under a $2.8 million no-bid contract awarded by the Office of Acquisitions in Washington, security guards at the American Embassy in Moscow and at consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok will be provided by Elite Security Holdings, a company closely linked to the former top K.G.B. figure, Viktor G. Budanov, a retired general who rose through the ranks to become head of Soviet counterintelligence. 

A State Department official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with the department’s rules, said that Elite Security and individuals associated with it had been “vetted” with “relevant national and local agencies” and would not increase the threat risk.

:lol:  to a vlad putin company.  so anyone who met or had business dealings with trump is now a Trump company.  Fake outrage

 

We should thank putin ,  if we are replacing 755 positions for 2.8 million thats a hell of a deal.  

Private contractors from the host country are almost always used.  Makes some sense as they should have more knowledge of local threats.

Chickenhawk Trump voter is a angry. 

Chickenhawk (also chicken hawk and chicken-hawk) is a political term used in the United States to describe a person who strongly supports war or other military action (i.e., a war hawk), yet who actively avoids or avoided military service when of age. Hmm... That narrative doesn't work, eh?

Draft dodger says what? You are the only one in this conversation who wants to go to war over our "enemy" Russia you stupid piece of shit. You are literally the definition of chickenhawk. L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y. I want the opposite. Now, pop smoke, bitch.
