Nostradamus:
The Sochi Olympics are so important, their safety can only be trusted to foreign agents.
чижов-пыжов:
They’ve come up with a good plan: if something happens, then foreign security services are at fault. And these idiots swallowed the bait.
Елена-9230:
It’s only because otherwise, foreigners wouldn’t take part in the Olympics))) They don’t trust us!
paukrus:
If you consider the way our riot police terrified those Dagestani teenagers in the village of Gimry, the decision to leave security to the professionals was a good one.
Сочи-2014:
It’s reasonable to use their colleagues’ experience.

No major world project can do without British brains
наталья-7103:
Obviously foreigners aren’t buying tickets to the Olympics because they don’t trust our security services, we needed to snare them somehow.
Апототышка:
Are the British security services worried about the safety of British citizens at the Sochi Olympics?
paukrus:
What’s surprising about this? It’s hardly going to be hipsters and pensioners that threaten [the safety of the Olympics], and our lot can’t deal with anything else
Стилобат:
Well then, let’s trust Western security services to protect Russian strategic facilities and nuclear missile sites. Or has “co-operation between agencies” already gone that far? …

The intruder alarm systems for nuclear weapons storage bases are built with American grants. And rest assured, the Americans examine the spending of every dollar ringfenced for this.

For a long time now too, since 2000 or 2001.
kiffa:
Pu himself knows that with the level of corruption you see in our armed forces, there’s no way you can talk about safety.
kos-mv:
And for some reason they didn’t ask us to help guard the London Olympics)))

In the city of Sochi, the nights are dark, and all cats are grey in the dark.
