So the US don't think the security for their own team is up to it so want to send 1000 personnel over including 500 FBI agents.
Assuming this is true, which I can't make a call either way on, would you guys see that as a right move by the US?
I mean there is a more commonly accepted way of acting when you don't think it's safe for your citizens to go somewhere. it's called issuing a travel warning, or not sending a team.
Before people say: If security isn't up to it we'll send our own, imagine the same going the other way, and the precedent it sets.
World Cup 2062: New York:
Russia is unhappy with the security situation and wants to send in its own agents (not like you dont have enough russian agents in the US already harharhar) You'd hit the roof.
More likely though, I think it's a ploy to get the security budget increased, and its voiced in the only way that would produce an outcome.
however since we're cool, we're protecting our games with missiles.

How large is the US delegation? 500 FBI agents seems wildly excessive.
Probably a size XXXXXXL, if the rest of the country is anything to go by :)
Absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe the criticism from the US authorities, especially as they were acutely aware of the level of security the UK was aiming to employ. The Uk authorities really shouldnt stand for it, as 1) its just a case of meddling, the UK are organising, and I'm confident they have done a great job (I live in London so see/hear about measures ever day), 2) it sets a dangerous precedent. If the US are allowed to intervene, who else may claim the UK security is not enough? 500 agents is highly exorbitant and frankly ridiculous, considering the cost involved, which brings me to point 3) security and cost increases to the UK, where extra vetting will have to go into allowing foreign security enforcements to be involved, which brings further burdens on the defence budget.
I mean, its London, not fucking Niger or something.
Easy guy, perhaps if London didnt have so many foreigners and an open door policy, we wouldnt be so afraid for the well-being of our athletes and diplomats.
This is so retarded, I wont even bother defending my position.
Niger please
LOL
When you're the greatest country in the world, you can have as many security guards as you want
