I don't want people to think we're celebrating how bad Russians have it. I would love to see Russia succeed long term. But because of 70 years now of kind of siding with authoritarianism and this kind of grab for power rather than investing back in its people, it slipped. And it slipped pretty far from where it really should be. It's a very cautionary tale for this country about how quickly things can go away. Despite the occasional story of the Flint water crisis, et cetera,. If you think about that kind of thing happening country-wide, it's really a shame.
