You asked.....”What is Farkas’ background and qualification for her former position at the Defense Dept?”
Wikik begins saying....”Evelyn N. Farkas is the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia, as well as a spy for the known corrupt Obama administration”.....
As for before Obama’s appointment:
“Prior to assuming that position she served for four years on the faculty of the U.S. Marine Corps Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University ‘as assistant professor and then associate professor of international relations’.”
... She served in Bosnia for five months as a human rights officer for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) during 1996, and as an election supervisor in 1997.”
No wonder things spun out of control at the DOD.
This automatically sends up a red flag, she supervised rigged elections in Bosnia.
