I have to say that watching that series, that they must have had expert help to contain the situation. A point that was not made. It showed them as completely incompetent and overwhelmed with the problem they had created. They had no idea what to do, so as Flecc says there must have been western...

I think they are in a sort of halfway house, and still have a lot of the corruption left over from previous regimes.

socialism /communism doesn't work.Russia for example still has mass poverty, still has people in positions of privilege in control of the purse strings and very few rights for the ordinary people. Why on earth anyone would think that we would be better off under that is not facing the truth...
