I was pretty confused, because the title mentions "FSB", but all of this discussion in this thread is about the US. I literally assumed that FSB must be an acronym for some US intelligence agency I don't know of. Then I went and read the article, and it really is about the Russian FSB.
- some_random 7y agoThe majority of people don't read the articles posted, only the titles. Most TLAs are American, so if you don't know what the FSB is then "a US IC org" is a pretty safe guess.
- bigiain 7y agoI don't agree. I see that as a very US-centric view of the world. ASD CSE GCHQ GCSB NSA FVEY (I'm seriously considering getting some of those made as tshirts...) only one of FVEY is a US IC org. See also Nine Eyes and Fourteen Eyes.
- walshemj 7y agoYou would have to avoided a lot of media and news not to know what the FSB is
- asveikau 7y agoA bunch of the comments are saying multiple governments and using lots of plurals. If you are reading such comments and assuming they only mean US I think you are misreading.
