Michael Savage - Opening Monologue - Discusses Zimmerman Case, Snowden, and More ....Michael Savage - July 2, 2013 - Full Show - Michael Savage Continues Discussion on Zimmerman Trial and Mentions How Janet Napolitano signed a deal to bring 15.000 Russian troops to U.S. to help in disasters.
Is it true that FEMA signed an agreement to deploy Russian troops to provide security at mass events on U.S. soil? No, that's a fictional claim based on an actual agreement signed by representatives of FEMA and the Russian Emergency Ministry on June 25, 2013 stating that the two countries will share the expertise of first responders and emergency managers as part of an ongoing collaborative emergency relief program last renewed in 2007. The agencies also agreed to collaborate on improving protections against meteorite impacts and other space threats.
ReplyDeleteA FEMA spokesperson quoted by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti confirmed that there will be no exchange of security or military personnel under the June 25 agreement.
Misinformative reports about the terms of the agreement issued from standard conspiracy theorist venues such as the European Union Times ("Obama Requests 15,000 Russian Troops for 'Upcoming' Disaster") and Alex Jones' Infowars website ("Russian Forces to Provide 'Security' at U.S. Events"), neither of which provided documentation for their hyperbolic claims other than the sources I have cited above.
