I have not broken this raw footage into component video. But the Russians engaged in some quite dangerous behavior last night and I need all of your help drawing attention to it. The dramatic part starts at 1 hour, 23 minutes, when we posted calls for defections and the embassy sent a security goon to try to stop us.
Subsequently, we had a protracted negotiation with the embassy through—I am not making this off—Secret Service intermediaries. https://www.youtube.com/live/AR0x_IeJM-s?feature=share

@benjaminwittes That was wild. You’ve clearly gotten under their skin. Great job.

It’s hard to contribute time to this effort being on the west coast. How do I send monetary support to these efforts to annoy the RU embassy staff?

(Also, I’d love to see some pick and rolls implemented next time. A few bodies making a wall that someone can dodge behind and around could be very effective in “no touching projectorball”)

@benjaminwittes Using the very edge of the curb could also be effective, trying to force him out into the street.

But, really, the ladder and just challenging his arm endurance was a really solid play. I expect that will be the dominant No Touching Projectorball strategy for a while to come.
