Is This Something We Should Be Concerned About?

Hey All,

I just read an article explaining the recent event in Russia where Putin fired the prime minister Kasyanov.

"The dismissal of Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov and his Cabinet also apparently bolstered the authority of Putin's inner circle of former KGB agents and set the stage for a makeover of the country's top leadership."

A large portion of the government seems to have just been hacked away. Now these KGB's have more power, which really seems bad to me. I guess I wanna hear from you all about what the implications of this are. Is this really bad? Or does this happen frequently in the Russian gov? Here's the link:

Whadya guys think?

I don't know, man, but that little dog is about to die!!!!

Id have to say that the growing pains Russia has encountered in trying to switch over to a Democratic system are normal and not something we should worry about to much. What we really should worry about is the growing Chechen conflict which neither side appears capable of stopping.

I hope you're right. It's just that....the KGB getting more power. I'm worried that these remnants of the SU getting power will lead to changes that will mirror what the nation was 15 years ago. Although, I'm not well educated in Russia's system, so maybe I'm overreacting but still.....

Russia wants checnyas oil second of course a former kgb agent is going to back his fellow hardliners.

yeah I see your fear of remenatns of the SU's more brutal componants getting power but I dont think that being in the KGB will automatically result in you being a hard wing communist and thug. I dont necessarily fear that they were part of the KGB but more Im wary of it.

here's a thread: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Hmm.... maybe this Russia backing China in a US attack isn't quite as far fetched as some people think. I don't have any doubt at all that Russia doesn't like the US much... we took out Gorby and put in a "former" KGB agent. I'm sure the peeps are pissed about that. Now their 'president' fires a bunch of peeps and brings in MORE KGB? It's all a matter of time... there is no such thing as a "former" KGB. You're in, you're in for life. Duh.

BTW, did you know that we have "former" KGB agents that supposedly work for the government? I can't remember his name, but there was one I heard about not but a year ago who, if I remember right, is working with the CIA (or one of it's 'black-ops' components).

well earthscum, could be true about some in our government. that would fit this into the idea of a world government or order emerging.

about the other thread..yeah i read that one about an attack and it was interesting, but it still seems out there. but this KGB thing kind of does give it a little more credit, but before i buy into that, i need to see a few more signs and developments.

is there anyone that has better knowledge of the russian gov and/or lives in russia that can help shed some light on this? thanks
