Somtim jag ha det impressen att uh Europe is like, you grig sites during Macedon armis åring roman konquest.

Yeah.

Absolutely, but the Romans are not Russians.

Russians are not taking the democratic spirit.

Yeah.

If you want, I can tell you what I now take from the great Greek intellectual tradition and you will tell me uh whether you agree with me.

I think the great Greek philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, up up until Polybius and others, they cherished democracy.

They understood that democracy or Politea as as Aristotle was calling it, are good, but they also understood that sometimes democracy

can fall because of its own deficiencies.

And you need to do that.
