Just over a week ago I wrote that,
"Did Putin sanction this Bloomberg interview with Veselnitskaya, that potentially puts Trump Jnr. in the crosshairs of landing in prison, to add pressure on US President Trump to get the 'sanctions monkey' off his back?" (blog entry: 7 November, 2017)
We now learn from Andrew Higgins (right) that,
"Under a $2.8 million no-bid contract
awarded by the Office of Acquisitions in Washington, security guards at
the American Embassy in Moscow and at consulates in St. Petersburg,
Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok will be provided by Elite Security Holdings,
a company closely linked to the former top K.G.B. figure, Viktor G.
Budanov, a retired general who rose through the ranks to become head of
Soviet counterintelligence." (New York Times : Nov. 14, 2017) (my emphasis)
This contract was given the green light by none other than Rex Tillerson, current US Secretary of State, and recipient of 'Russia's Order of Friendship', by none other than Putin himself.
That news about this contract has emerged as Trump, during his Asian tour, has stated that Putin has been 'badly' lumbered with US sanctions against him, should not come as a surprise.
As the Mueller (right) investigation continues to add to the mountain of evidence that supports the charge of collusion in the 2016 US presidential elections between Putin and his 'siloviki', and Trump and his 'Russian-friendly' cohorts, Trump continues to try to find devious ways to get rid of those US sanctions to pay Putin back for getting him elected into the White House.
And covering Trump's back is none other than Rex Tillerson, US Secretary of State!
The same Rex Tillerson who has decimated the US State Department, and shut down the US State Department Sanctions Office.
There is an urgency on the part of BOTH Trump and Tillerson to get the sanctions against Putin and his 'siloviki' removed ASAP as the call for Trump's impeachment gains momentum.
Meanwhile, UNIAN reports that,
"Ukrainian Foreign Minister [of Ukraine] Pavlo Klimkin (right) in his exclusive comments to MailOnline has said the Russian Federation has sent in Donbas some 500 tanks, in addition to hundreds of other heavy weapons and thousands of Russian regular troops and mercenaries." (UNIAN : 16 November 2017) (my emphasis)
Which poses yet another $64 question viz.
"Is Trump preparing to throw Ukraine under the bus as payback to Putin for getting him elected into the White House?"
