  1. No country has ever been defeated by running a wartime deficit, neither fiscal nor in international trade balance. Every war is financed with internal funnymoney, a policy made palatable either through patriotsm or through repression, two somewhat different ways of ensuring forced saving and quietude. "The Russian economy is collapsing"? Quite right. In wartime, all civilian economies are abolished. Duh.

  2. Addendum for the successful bit around 5:00: In 1905, the largest building in the world was the Singer Sewing Machine factory in Siberia, built by a Harvard engineer named Dixon. This supports the idea that the failed Russian revolution of 1905 was a revolution of rising expectations, not a revolt against immiseration as some Western propagandists claim.

  3. You are very brave to record a script in a language which is not your own, English, but this does not lessen he fact that your failure to fix your many errors is annoying. You would still be brave if you didn't make so many mistakes.

  4. Americans' "manufactured weapons" at 3:10, doesn't sound quite right... Get an editor, perhaps?

  5. "The quality of your reporting is many levels higher than what’s usually found on YouTube." Careful, Jostein: that looks awfully close to insult by faint praise.
