“That is our model, not the Soviet Union to Russia collapse.”
I’d like to believe we have more time as well but I don’t you are making a valid comparison there. 150 years ago there wasn’t a mass media with the instant reach that exists now. Even 15 years ago was different because the internet did not exist. I think we are reaping some the side effects of improvement in communications over the past several decades. This blog wasn’t possible as little as 13 yrs ago. What does that tell you?
