I’d be looking at more things about Russia than just this. They get this, but at the price of an autocratic society overall. We can respect Russia, but never want to copy its government plan. If we ever wanted something like this in America, it would need to be a “We The People” grassroots change.

There is no “One Size Fits All” form of government, what works here doesn’t work there, and vice versa.

I don’t think you can fairly characterize Russian federal government as autocratic. The leftist Western media just likes to play that angle because government is Russia now is rather like U.S. government in the 1950’s.

Your post has nice thoughts and all but we are well past the Constitutional phase. Barring a Great Awakening, we are going to have war and a real autocratic government. Soon.

We can respect Russia, but never want to copy its government plan.

The salient point when comparing governments is to take into account the geography and history of the nations. Russia is a much older nation and suffered from many invasions.
