QuoteThanks, FSN

A very interesting video

Even if I find his accent annoying ;)


I found his entry on CORRUPTION particularly interesting.

Sorry to learn he, along with a bunch of other commentary channels, have just been demonetised.

"Amateurs talk strategy; professionals talk logistics" - Perun does take a different view; a much larger view which I find interesting and and apparently well informed.

I've also got used to his accent.  :)

Thanks hammurabi70

Very interesting, despite the accent

He talked about corruption at higher levels encouraging corruption at lower levels, "my boss is a crook so I might as well be"

What wasn't mentioned as much was the stifling of investigation of corruption at lower levels if the higher levels are corrupt. The Supply Officer isn't going to report the Privates selling off the odd can of diesel if he has sold off half the battalion's allocation of diesel for the month. Investigating one risks exposing the other...

Partly covered by his mention of the prisoner's dilemma and holding pistols at each other's heads but I suspect this is a significant factor in the assessment of risk/cost of being corrupt :-\
