Front. surely vladimir putin is aware that american forces are there in poland. is there any calculus thats rooted in logic that you think he would try to take on the united states, mano a mano in combat? >> well, alex, i hate to break it to you but im not a putin whisperer. this is very hard to determine. ive talked to a lot of experts, especially last weekend at the munich security conference who have worked directly with putin, who try to understand his mindset. one of the things thats been h...

Potential adversaries - that they might not be entirely rational and that that will, - in turn, make the threat of nuclear use even more credible. nuclear weapons, like those on britains submarines, are supposed to deter conflict. all sides know that their use would be catastrophic for everyone, and the hope is that this logic will still hold. gordon corera, bbc news. lyse is with me for a final thought. both sides of held talks on the border with belarus. nothing came of it now, but they will m...

Our dependence on foreign oil. all of the restrictions that they have placed on energy exploration and production is something they can stop and lift immediately. and to blame the oil companies is laughable. take a look. >> just said the crisis is not an hour strategic interest to reduce the supply. we also know the president as recently as yesterday talked about increasing domestic manufacturing to bring down crisis inflated items like good. so why not apply the same logic to energy and increas...

Are not deterring him now and are leaders of the alliance have said we will not use force are words that leave us? im not speaking to you personally but in the immediate generally and in elite circles in the west we have to get past the euphoria that seems to have engulfed us when we watch whats actually happening underground.- us when we watch whats actually happening underground. should we be lookin: to happening underground. should we be looking to china, _ happening underground. should we be...

To the putin plan we havent had revealed to us yet. what i would say about the no-fly zone is i understand the logic behind the peril and risks associated with the no-fly zone. but there are risks on both sides. so you may have risks of escalation in a no-fly zone environment. but im not quite convinced this thing is designed to maintain itself inside ukraine. and nato is being tested to its maximum. when you have russian forces going after nuclear power plants and they want to weaponize those t...

Powerful, when it comes to leverage. it is but the same logic would apply on the crime of aggression. absolutely. i am fully supported of the icc prosecutor is doing, but he has a gap, as he recognises. and my concern is that britain, france, and the united states, three mothers of the united states, three mothers of the security council, permanent members, actually make be wanting to be leaving president putin off the hook. they are worried about the crime of aggression because it is impractica...

Joining me is the ambassador, permanent representative to estonia to the united nations who was in new york for the general assembly meetings and the debate over that resolution. i want to hear what we played from the u.s. representative of ukraine when discussing vladimir putin. >> if he wants to kill himself, he doesnt need to use nuclear arsenal. he has to do what the guy in berlin did in the bunker in may. 1945. we do not accept the russian logic that the security council was enabled to act ...
