The 150-odd Russian Agent Story

 This week....Putin apparently fired around 150-odd FSB (former KGB) staff folks.  All out of one single division.

Some were simply fired....some were arrested, and at least 20 had their homes raided.

What's going on?  Well....Putin has reached the level where he questions everything he's told.  Fear existing for twenty years.....to only tell Putin what he wants to hear?  Yeah....in a simple way....the 150-odd FSB folks prepared the Ukraine special military operation to be a failure...to make Putin 'happy'.

What do you do as a 35-year-old FSB agent who has been fired?  Well....there's just not much to be gained with that type of resume.

Added to your woes....if your home was raided....they are probably looking at your personal wealth (that boat....that BMW you bought two years ago....the wife's fake boob surgery...etc).

My humble belief?  Those guys who weren't arrested?  I'd have the bags packed and drive toward some border to exit the country.  I'd go to France, Germany, the UK or US....to offer my expertise/knowledge.

But here's the odd thing.....you basically have to go into this division and rebuild it from scratch.  Would you even submit your resume for the job?  If you were ordered to work in the division....would you accept or immediately look for some path out of Russia?

From a manpower prospective....Putin has created a massive toxic element for this one single FSB division.  They have to make him happy, and in doing so....create a serious future problem to brew.  

It's kind of funny now.....just about everything that Putin has touched.....has a serious problem going on now.
