This was presented well. I liked the story about the Russian Embassy. However, I think that Russia can be self sustaining. Why do I think this? It's simply because it was presented that Russia has had a secret police going way back in time to Ivan the Terrible. They have almost always have had their secret police. The comparison was given to the pepper plant in the pot versus the open field. The pepper plant can live in the pot for a long time. It will not be as productive, but it survives. Is this not the history of Russia? Is the pepper pant not sustained but at a lower production level? The video made me wonder. If everybody is being watched, there has to be people watching. I wonder how many Russians are being utilized to do the watching. It seems like this alone would be a terrific drain on the efficiency of the economy. Thanks for your video.
