18:47 Something we often forget as well WWII may not have even happened had (what Trump refers to as) Russia not helped kick it off. So Germany, Italy, Japan... He can't even play it like they are better in the regard for holding grudges for past misdeeds of leadership long gone.
So let's look at now, Germany strong advocate for the environment, order, and humanitarian aid. Japan, had a complete cultural overhaul it is possibly the most peace loving nation I know. No nation (that I am familiiar with at least) is perfect, but the citizens of Japan have a strongly engrained appreciation for life, ingenuity, cooperation, and respect. Japan made it a priority to learn from the tragedies of the past.
What has the Russian government done? a little bit of despotism, sprinkle in croneyism, corruption, subversion, anti-western propaganda. Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin was around the time the nation had the most positive and cooperative outlook. It wasn't perfect, but there was hope.

Even drones aside people like to ignore that much relies on mutual trust and the perception of security.
Like the anti-firearm folks.
Sure limiting varieties of the most dangerous may make sense (in places where there are no rights on that front), but anyone can build things from what's at a hardware store.
So there is no sense in banning everything to feel safe because you cannot ban enough things, else you make life impossible. Ex:
"Oh, fire is dangerous so anything that can make an open flame is illegal" (doesn't stop the ability possessed by everyone to create friction, but it does stop you from having barbecues, furnaces, stoves, especially heating in remote areas).
"Oh, $+@¶¶!n&$ are bad so you can't have sharp objects" (so we can't cook now? we can't do construction, we can't have machine shops, or sew).
"Oh, bad things can be made with 3D printers, so let's ban those." (...You can wittle something bad if so inclined.)
Oh, electricity is dangerous so you can't buy a code book and fix the wiring in your house. (but the people who would be inept won't care to stop, and they are now more likely to be uninformed, also better to leave the bad wiring ignored I guess...🤦♀️)
Are there solutions to these problems absolutely, but solution will ever be perfect. Even free will aside, there is always cold, hard, probabillities. Enough events occur, anomolies are guaranteed.
