FEMA signs deal with Russian Emergency Situations Ministry to “exchange experts”

Did you people actually read the press release or just take PrisonPlanet's and InfoWars' word that Russian troops were going to be deployed as security at "mass events"?
While it does mention the exchange of experts during joint rescue operations during major disasters, nowhere does it suggest that Russian troops will be deployed on US soil to provide security for mass events.
The press release says that the agreement will include an exchange of experience in dealing with such things as training of rescuers and provision of security at mass events. If you never talk to other people who have experience in doing such activities, how do you know that you are using the best practices? For example, do you think that the Russians might be able to gain some valuable knowledge for security operations at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics by learning from the American experiences during the Salt Lake City Olympics and such events as the Superbowl?

As I recall, there was a big uproar over Russian troops training in Colorado last year. I wouldn't dismiss Savage so easily.

Let's not forget the German Luftwaffe base in Texas, the Dutch pilot training facility in Arizona, the Iraqi pilots training at various bases inside the US, just to name a few more. I hate to tell you this, but foreign troops have trained on US soil since just after WWII.

Yes, I knew most of this and when I posted it a year ago on a thread I was totally rebuffed. I am simply mentioning it in correlation to video. Russia isn't exactly our best friend.

Perhaps a meteor like the one that disintegrated over Chelyabinsk recently - but which does so at a lower altitude or even hits the ground?
