I had a delightful interview, in Russian, with PolitWera. My friend, Andrei Martyanov, did double duty as a translator. This is not easy work.
I have first hand experience trying to do what Andrei did so masterfully. In 1984 I was living in Argentina. My wife’s parents came for a visit. I took my father-in-law, Del Sears, to the movies to see Bertolucci’s NOVECENTO (1900). I thought it was going to be subtitled in English. Nope. Italian with Spanish subtitles. I sat there having to do the translation. Wore my ass out. The only part of the movie I didn’t have to translate was the scene where Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu were in bed with a hooker. Everyone was naked and engaged in sexual activity. I leaned over to my father-in-law and asked, “Do I need to translate.” He laughed and said no. Lesson learned, if you are going to take you in-law to a foreign film make sure it is subtitled in your language.
Larry, great dialogue, orbits it trialogue?
Hers the big problem in my view…
How many US Americans could find this interview, let alone have the patience and interest to listen to it. Not many.
Then there is the further problem of the cultural filtering that would cause virtually all of them to discount or disbelieve that “America” is not “number 1” and “kicks butt.”
You and I, your children and grandchildren and my children and grandchildren too, are strapped to the mast of a ship being captained by child idiots in DC. The mass “Amurikan” has no idea of what’s coming.
They still think the form has the old substance. That belief is used by the cultural elite to manipulate them even when they sense something ain’t right.
Can you or I or others retake (politically) the wheel house from the juvenile delinquents in DC? I don’t think so. Should we just get out? Fight or flee?

Oops. I double posted. Please delete the first one. The one with the typos.
