I asked what could possibly go wrong. We have yet to see exactly how wrong it will go.

That is a misuse of the term Appeal to Authority.

What do you think could go wrong with giving Russians a contract to guard the exterior of the embassy?

nope - you stated that the embassy had been given to the Russians, when clearly - clearly - that is not the case. And then you claimed that security details for embassy and consulates had been given to the Russians, when clearly that is not the case.

So how can something go wrong with something where that something does not exist?

Substupid:

The security was given to the Russians. I asked what could possibly go wrong. I hope it works out well for the US. My pessimism says it won't. IE; When the US Embassy was built in Moscow it was so riddled with "Bugs" it was decided to tear it down and start over. Unfortunately that didn't happen but two new floors were added on top of the then existing floors.
