Sorry but I REFUSE to use PUTIN'S acronym for the KGB

[Eliot Rosewater]

Sigh

Anyway, yeah, they changed that so we would fall for it, not falling for it. KGB is still alive and well, simply called something else.

Why I have to SAY THAT HERE I dont know, wait, maybe I do.

1. The KGB split into two organizations

The FSB and the SVR. The FSB is what runs the overseas ratfuckery (with some help from the GRU), so I don't see what's wrong with calling it by the name it's had for almost 30 years now.

2. Same shit with a different name

Same as it ever was

Now with added computer crimes!!

And truckloads of rubles!!

And Russian piss hookers!!!!

3. Yep, and ANYONE poo pooing my concern ....well...like my favorite Monty Python sketch

4. That's not why they changed the name.

They really weren't trying to fool anybody.

Might as well call the Cheka, if you're going to go that route.

Or perhaps the tsar's secret police.

There were also the whole '90s, where Russia was bad at having anything like the KGB. El'tsin just wasn't that tough-minded when it came to the West.
