Military conflict, the violence on the ground, the escalation, both in terms of the military escalation, as well as the financial, economic, and even cyber worlds. so, this is a very, very concerning situation right now, very dangerous. and particularly, as matthew was talking about, the nuclear aspect of it. russia is, obviously, very capable of a powerful military country, with nuclear capability. this is their area of the world, and this is where i think its critically important for the nato ...

This sounded like the speech of a man for whom the occupation or invasion of ukraine was already a forgone conclusion. now i think youll start to see more preparations, but i guess well be out there as far as it gets light and well see for ourselves. >> the question is logic what is driving vladimir putin? and thats what were going to look at next. coming up next, to get a better idea what is motivating or might be motivating vladimir putin, whether hes a so-called rational act, whether making...

The whole thing, with all of the horrors that that would bring about. so there is good logic to not doing everything, but, of course, it can look a little weak if you are, you know, not immediately doing the full sanctions. and there have been some democrats who we saw overnight call for him to do exactly that. to basically consider this the final straw. >> i will say every democrat we spoke to gives you the sense they would like to see more, and would have liked to have seen more already. i thi...

Thinking and it also is a subject of debate. and so it has value. whether it should be on every curriculum or not. thats a local question. but it is certainly ought not to be banned. >> so we had a lot of people come in and didnt like the race element in it and some viewers thought it was simplistic, others didnt like the prevalence of the "n" word. you write, the work pushes forth a humane ethethics. we know what is wrong and right by the emotional work of the text, better than by the rule of l...

That. there is no particular strategic logic to it. you can see it from the start, the russian plan has faultered at every level. they wanted a lightning strike. they wanted really to take control of the airport outside of kyiv, then bring troops in by plane. they were not able to get the airport. they had not resupplied the troops. now theyre basically trying -- seems to me they are now moving to a situation where they are looking for targets of opportunity rather than strategic targets. theyre...

Mcfaul, if both you and the admiral seem to indicate that they are not likely to service it iterant to vladimir putin, do a little more deep dive will you about putins real fears. i know that you have written that it is not nato, but democracy on his doorstep. how you see that playing out in this crisis. >> well the people last night really long rambling kind of strange speech. i listen to most of it in russian. he did not get a nato until the end of the speech. he went on and on about ukraine. ...

Planned and does not plan any military offensive in the donbas. neither any provocations or acts of sabotage. it is ultimately absurd to suggest that ukraine could have prepared for anything like this and waited for months until russia amassed an enormous military force along our borders to proceed with such plans. this absurdity defies basic logic. not less absurd are accusations of ukraine escalating by acquiring defensive weapons from its partners. the only, i want to stress that, the only re...

Russia has very close historical, cultural bonds. so thats kind of one point. but how do you negotiate -- to answer your question, how do you negotiate with someone who doesnt want to negotiate peace, well, you just -- i guess you have to operate within the logic of vladimir putin. his is a logic of strength. he is known under pressure to actually double down. he doesnt back away. so i think we need to look at -- but i also think hes not just one person, you know, who is holding, you know, the w...

Russian ships today conducted drills in the black sea, in eastern ukraine, russia may be building a case for war through a crisis that doesnt exist. today, russian-backed separatists there on sympathetic social media channels put out a barrage of images, appearing to show people bracing to be attacked by the ukrainian military. an orphanage being evacuated. air raid sirens tested. and this supposed car bomb, no casualties. ukraine says it was staged. one of the separatist leaders called for peop...

Of street fighting. the ukrainian authorities say some russian planes have been shot down. many of the citys residents have fled south to dnipro, from where sarah rainsford reports. a warning — there are some distressing images. a university folding in flames, in a war thats against all logic and reason. the attack on kharkiv is intensifying every day, and these targets are not military at all. the city council was hit today — a whole street left in ruins. and from the wreckage of peoples ho...
