now, this is part of a back and forth between the united states and russia over spying, if you remember in 2010, there was a group called the illegals who were accused of posing as entrepreneurs, business people and being sleeper agents for the russian spy service. and earlier this year the russians decided to expose a cia spy that they said was trying to meet people wearing wigs. in this case, we re told that this these allegations about spying, they just didn t have enough to bring a case against these 49 or against the 11 that remain in this country. but the allegations of defra defrauding medicaid, which is the program to provide for the poor, is probably more embarrassing to the russian government than even any spying allegations. is there a connection between the fraud and the spying or were they here allegedly to spy and
july 2010 when ten russian sleeper agents were found by the fbi all over the u.s. there were a quiet swap arranged, the spies crossed the tarmac, got into their separate planes and that was it. we ve had this slow grinding. people in the white house that i ve talked tore extremely angry at the russians. they re increasingly throwing their hands up and say how can we even work with this people? what are they good for? the problem is we need them a lot more than the russians need us. and there is point many possibly boycotting some kind of summit. do you think that actually will happen or is the need too strong? there s a g-20 summit in st. peter sburg. obama is definitely going with that. then he was supposed to take a
general, walk us through the force of this army. this is an army that has over about 1 million folks under arms, very large reserve component. mandatory service, from a couple of years up to ten years. a large force, particularly large if we think about the size of the area involved. look at this map of the united states. that s where north korea would fit, roughly in the same space as mississippi. so as militaries go, this is a very massive force for a small country. but a very paranoid leadership. let s talk about the breakdown of that. the if you talk about the leadership, what is the number one quality required of the top officers in this military? loyalty to the communist party and the leader right here, kim jong-un. the number one quality. what about the special forces? very large special forces, very well trained. the best of their military, over 100,000. they can insert by air or by sea. and we estimate that there are stay-behind forces, sleeper agents already loc
