We have a
National Security Administration (NSA) that collects metadata on every phone
call in the USA and many other nations, depending on their degree of importance
(or whim – who the hell knows). We have
been told that it is for National Security.
You know, once they stopped lying that they didn’t collect this at
all. They review search records,
internet connections. Pretty much
everything to control us keep us safe.

And yet when
Russia moves tens of thousands of men into a country to which both we and
Russia have pledged to respect the borders of – our security establishment is
surprised. Ahh… what?
.
What kind of
NSA knows that I called Domino’s Pizza last March, but misses 20 thousand
Russian Soldiers taking off their insignia and hightailing it into a 3rd
country? I don’t particularly blame Obama – this same thing happened under Bush the
Younger in 2008 (that time it was Georgia – and Russia still controls that part
of Georgia). But you would think the
National Security Administration would be on top of this now. You know, fool me once, shame on you, fool me
twice, I must be James Clapper..
.
At the very
least, isn’t this the sort of thing that should get an NSA Chief fired?

If I was
Latvia or Poland I would be verwy verwy nervous.
