As part of a deal signed last week in Washington DC between the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and FEMA, Russian officials will provide “security at mass events” in the United States, a scenario that won’t sit well with Americans wary of foreign assets operating on US soil.
According to a press release by the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense and Emergencies, US and Russian officials met on June 25 at the 17th Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on Emergency Situations.

the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry will also be providing “security at mass events” in the United States.

WTF’ng hell??????
No Russian Forces on US soil. No effing way. I’m not playing Patrick Swayze.
Head of State visit to a foreign country with his own security. This sounds like Russian forces providing security without any dignitaries from Russia. Not good.
Actually, as the Mods made clear, the WND article was tantamount to lying.
Regardless, do you think that it’s reasonable to spend $100 million on a tour of a few African nations — most of it security-related? By way of comparison, a Royal visit by the Head of State of Britain, and 15 other countries, including Canada, typically costs less than $5 million.
Never know what to expect out of this regime, but I do have to say, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Probably already a link in thread, but figured I’d repeat it just in case:

Looks like the standard emergency services expert exchange agreement. For large events, such personnel are typically present at ‘what if’ brainstorms which try to plan for possible emergencies at mass public events (major concerts, major sporting events, etc.)
I was sitting next to my father as they were going over the possibilities prior to the 1984 Olympics; what if the Big One struck during the opening ceremonies? There was a scary one for a teenager - expected collapse of part of the Colosseum, mass casualties among the general public would overwhelm any local hospitals... Not that anyone was more special for being at the opening ceremonies, but the eventual decisions involved pre-placement of supplies to effectively create a tent trauma center.
In the end, the ‘plan’ was to maintain the security cordon around the stadium, letting anyone out who understood they were leaving at their own risk, and not letting anyone in, providing emergency services in the field, with the overall understanding that everyone there would likely still be there five days later.
Present at the meeting were emergency personnel from around the world, as well as secret service and national guard representatives. Anticipated provisions for mass casualties were 5,000 extreme trauma cases, and 1,000 deaths. I always wondered what happened to the thousand amputation kits and other specialized materials that were on hand.
That is one of the many pictures of the occupation of Boston that boil my blood. A ‘law enforcement agent’ aiming a rifle at a citizen who dares to look out their own window and take a picture of the occupation...
Too much “flexibility” for my liking.
Given how badly Russian special forces, both military and paramilitary, have botched security issues in the past—the Moscow theatre siege, Beslan, many others—do we really need them providing “exchange of experience” with us?

OK there is you answer that the regime has be twisting the Military’s are with “will you fire on US Citizens?” No longer an issue. I am sure foreign troops will have no problem with that.
The Russians aren’t coming to provide security in the US.
This is about exchange of training not exchange of security forces.
I’ve heard rhetoric criticial of Russia lately from the likes of McCain and Schumer on the Sunday shows so heck maybe the Russians are our friends anyway.
Yes it may be hype... I just do not trust the regime!!!
>>I wonder what’s up with that!
Maybe Vlad has caught the spirit of Apollo-Soyuz?
Will janet lend them a couple million rounds of hollow points?
Come on, I love a Putin punks Barry again story more than any other Freeper. But consider the source of this article and I doubt it’s remotely true.
its probably above 50% true
Perhaps there’s some truth to it. Putin has reqiuested Snowden to stop criticizing America.
Well...Obozo has our troops over in Egypt to help the muslim brotherhood quash the rioting there. Is that an exchange of experience or is it part of the same program?
What is a “mass event”? ....
10:00AM St Jerome’s?
