I think president xi, watching the events in the ukraine, watching what the russians are doing, watching putin become a pariah in the world for what hes doing, watching the sanctions choking the russian economy, i think china is aware of just exactly whats happening here. and im glad the president talked to president xi because i have a sense that he is going to tip toe his way through this issue. hes going to be very careful. i dont think hes going to do anything that involves military aid. i d...

Pariah the rest of his life. >> john: no question about that. do you think this could take him down and if so, whats to stop him burning the house down around him if he goes down? >> i think if putin miscalculates further, if he were to order a chemical weapons attack, some in the russian military will say we were not even on board with the idea from the get-go and certainly dont want to take it to this level. thats one scenario. second scenario is some of the old k.g.b. click he used to run aro...

>> why cant china be a player on this for something other than sending weapons to the russians? >> in order to be a credible negotiator, you need to be trusted by both sides and i dont think thats the case. the chinese -- the chinese are not going to get in bed with putin. they have a close relationship with him. youre showing pictures of the president of china and putin. they give each other necklaces, but once you go down a couple of levels, there is friction. so i wouldnt expect the relations...

Putin wouldnt dare start sinking ships with humanitarian supplies. thats a bet. i think we have to make the consequences more clear to him instead of reaction mode and make him react to us. >> martha: very quickly. putin plans to attend the g-20. hes a pariah. china is backing him up on that later this year. quick thought on that, if you can. >> well, i think we need to make him irrelevant. if china is the going to block, expelling them, we make the russian economy irrelevant. as long as china i...

Himself. those come together i believe is what will bring putin down to defeat. he will not win this. he can win a battle but he will not win this war. >> congressman meeks, thank you for spending time with us. the congressman is the second person in an hour and a half to make this point that winning in russia is important, too. igor made the point that to the degree that celebrities or musicians can get the message out or lift up those who are against this war, that that is so important. the co...
