with a loaded pistol all by himself. that's what he's done. he's a dangerous fool, we all know. he launched a big war on the basis of a big lie. but unfortunately, we're all to some degree riding on the good ship putin. because of a country as big as russia breaks up, it will be felt everywhere. that's why i've argued from the beginning, anderson, that this is the real world war i. the thing we called world war one, 1914, 1918, that wasn't a world war. half the world was colonized. this is the first war in a flat wired world. and everyone can follow it on their smartphone, and everyone will be impacted on it. economically or strategically. >> tom friedman, i appreciate it. as always, thank you.
u.s. ambassador to russia michael mcfaul had some strong words about putin's future. listen. >> i do not think it was a stunt, i think it was a maddening, i think you can survive, this but he is much weaker today, then he was just 24 hours ago. >> senator coons, do you agree, is putin weaker than he was 24 hours ago? >> absolutely. russia's political system is one where leader is going back to the stars were relied upon secret police, upon terrorizing their population, upon ruling with an iron fist. it was stunning to me that in his address to the nation, saturday, putin referenced the developments of 1917, every russian notice that after a military adventure in the first world war, it ended an absolute disaster in 1914, where the battle -- of we are nearly 70,000 russian soldiers were encircled, and killed or captured by the germans in just a few days.
have adequate lifeboats on board for the passengers. why? it is unsinkable. when that happened it led to major changes in how all countries operate on the oceans. the 1914 convention for safety of life at sea changed everything. what that did was really enable more use of the ocean because it could be done safer. had that happen before the titanic it would've been wait a minute, let's check this lifeboat thing as well as radio communications and many other things. now we have this disaster ironically and sadly in the exact same place. it is time to look again at those regulations in international waters, not on the surface but the subsurface. i also think what can we do with regulations and inspections to accomplish them at the speed of innovation? are there changes that we can make? >> the courts and the law really have an important role.
its day, biggest, fastest, unsinkable, of course, we have all heard that. out of that there were insufficient life boats for passengers on board. we did learn from that the 1914 safety of life at sea convention was passed by nations, it led to much safer and better, greater use of the oceans as well. so we need to learn from that, from this incident, but i would take a little exception with what he said that i am worried about innovation and i think we can do better with inspection and regulation at the speed of inno innovation, not because it's sloppy, but because we are in a new century. we need to move fast to support the innovators. >> anderson, thank you so much for the coverage this morning, our thanks of course to the captain who has been with us as well for the last three hours breaking this story down. >> and so many more questions to be answered in the weeks and months ahead. thank you, captain, for being here. >> thank you. >> good to be with you, phil
