FISH DAY AT THE CIA

Nikolai Burbiga

The top-secret operation "Talking Calls" was considered the pride of the US Navy. Admiral Turner, the head of the CIA during the Presidency of Jim Carter, claimed: the Navy has created a complex device dubbed "cocoon", which can be placed over an underwater cable and left to record negotiations for weeks and

months…

However, in 1981, the satellite provided Americans with an image of a large cluster of Soviet ships in the very place of the Sea of Okhotsk, where a listening device was attached to the cable. Later, when an American boat arrived in the area to replace the films, the device was found missing. The National Security Agency had to state that Russians had got the listening cocoon. Operation “Talking Calls”

officially failed.

And while Russians were intensely studying the ingenious overseas contraption found in their waters, Americans were just looking for a scapegoat.

Having scrutinized the data, Americans came to the conclusion that Russians had a spook in the US military establishment.

Thus, a top-secret Navy report was prepared in 1982. It read that Russians had been a hundred percent sure what they had been looking for. Any probable

coincidence or even luck were excluded.

The English was obviously written by a Russian. Not a bad translation, but obvious Russian elements.

А возможно ли более адекватно выразить следующую мысль?

«Там работодателей больше, чем людей»

Мой вариант самый прямолинейный: «Employers are far more than job seekers»

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 2 years ago

There are (a lot/way) more employers than there are people looking for work/job-seekers.
