Into the decision-making process, and right now hes going to go into ukraine and do what he wants to do. >> if you tried to transfer money from one country to another, and i experienced this when i lived overseas, and if you have not, just to be clear, s.w.i.f.t. is not a bank, its more of an e-mail system, according to our own charlie herman. its an e-mail system links 11,000 financial institutions to 2,000 countries on transferring money or settling trades, and the reason why it would be hard ...

Welcome back to "state of the union." im dana bash. perhaps no other western leader knows more about how russias president works than saul la niinisto. niinisto told "the new york times" he has seen a clear change in putins state of mind and decision-making process. for the past few years, niinisto has been an interpreter of sorts for putin and the west, straddling both sides just geographically, but diplomatically, passing messages from putin himself to western leaders. finnish president sauli ...

What a powerful assessment there, adrienne. do you agree with it? >> i do, and i hope all of your viewers will read this piece. its really compelling, and tom of course is one of the foremost experts on national security in our country. he also goes on to reinforce the fact that this has been essentially the doctrine of the biden administration. that president biden has made it clear that the united states and nato are imposing crippling sanctions on russia. but weve got to make sure that we don...

>> well, i think it is too early to tell if he is going to annex those territories in the end or not, what his decision-making process is going to be. in 2014, when the occupation of crimea began, the referendum was orchestrated. putin did exactly that, he recognized crimeas independence for a hot minute. and then he annexed it and integrated into russia. we actually saw his security council meeting that he had held with his ministers and high officials before he gave that bombastic speech later...

Humane treatment of civilians. it is really despicable. and unfortunately this is exactly that i think everyone is anticipating, the key center of gravity to use the military phrase all along has been kyiv. and to seize it, surround it, cut it off, seize government buildings, and decapitate the government and stall public etpo will be compliant with moscows voices and thats what theyre doing now. >> were seeing all this play out, new reporting from jim, cnn has learned that u.s. intelligence off...

How do you think this is potentially affecting his calculus? do you believe he has lost some rationality in the decision-making process? >> i think hes fallen prey to the classic pathologies of a thaw chrissy where, these people surround themselves with flatterers and family members. they wield absolute power. in putins case, he has a fully realized autocracy on the level of coffee. so overtime, they begin to feel they are invincible, they dont -- nobody -- everybody is too scared to give them a...

That they are balanced by an experience to look at all sides of a problem. thats part of whats different. >> she is eminently qualified for this position, but what do you think it is specifically that would her out over two other eminently qualified women in the decision-making process by the president? >> a powerhouse list of highly qualified lawyers, but i think what the balance seems to be, and im projecting that, is one that she has a very long and storied career. she has a huge number of pe...

If they roll into ukraine they are just a few hours from warsaw, i think nato is awakening. this is something that president trump has pushed hard on, having nato be prepared. i am grateful for that investing more in their defense. now it is time for them to actually be ready and stand strong. you cant have a moment where people are weak in dealing with vladimir putin, he will deal with strength. if you dont meet strength with strength, he will just rollover you, we have seen that many places. >...

Be providing him with ground troops. and now what hes getting is a very narrow view which could in fact account for his decision making process. mike , if somebody within that inner circle and it is, as you say, a very small inner circle, if somebody were to start thinking this guy is gone too far, the only way to end all of this is ultimately to end vladimir putin. >> how difficult would that be ? well, it would be extremely difficult and would also be quite frankly unlikely. we dont want to be...

Vladimir putin, but on the people who surround him and are involved in the decision-making process. >> katy, i had the ambassador to the uk here last week and she hinted they would not be afraid to do seizures, asset seizures, and we know oligarchs have a lot of assets in london. i will believe it when i see it, and i think we all will, and if we get to that, that would tell you this is how the sanctions can reach in and grab individual oligarchs, but i understand if people are skeptical if it w...
