Yeah, well, the Russian population is actually decreasing each year. People are getting out if they can. If Putin thinks he can make up for those losses by capturing neighboring populations, I think he's mistaken.

Putin needs to do a more competent job with the people and the economy that he's still got. He needs to create more incentives in the economy and he needs to create a legal system that protects real people and not just his gangster friends. Of course, his gangster friends will resist such reforms, but Putin needs to summon up the courage to make the effort. Otherwise, he'll wind up driving his economy into a full-blown depression and he'll even lose the support of his gangster buddies.

Russia is sliding downhill fast and blowing up commercial airliners isn't going to solve the real problems for Putin.

Bill O’Reilly was right - nobody did a damn thing about that flight.

Nothing happened.
