Friend to all, enemy none that is a contrast in power, and weakness, it represents illusion that power is just that power makes something right, we know better. the right side does not always win. powerful can be unjust. i guess the question before us is what obligation do you have if you are both powerful and just? do you sit while weaker nations are over taken? do you apply a test of self interest or do you believe the self evident truths you wrote about in your own declaration of independence...

Clock or on the calendar and it will be this way until we win, end quote. why did you go back, mark? >> i picked ukraine as my home of choice. i moved here five years ago because i was inspired by the people and society here, which is shaping the future. i never saw it in any other country that the society is so ambitious and it is inspiring. i moved from new york to kyiv. >> bill: you describe yourself as a pacifist. if you still believe that, how can you help? >> i was an ex-pacifist. im a ex-...

Im sure that at some point, nato countries will come along, but it may be too late for ukraine. it may be just too late. >> kira, what do you make of the explanation youre hearing from western leaders, saying they cannot institute a no-fly zone because that would feasibly mean nato forces, western forces shooting down a russian plane, engaging in warfare with russia, which could mean world war iii. >> i think its an illusion that this war has not began. because whats happening right now is putin...
