10:06 am
caret heavy fighting yesterday. and the comment from the russian president on sunday with the broadcaster saying talks on resolving the crisis need to focus on statehood. the concern was that he was effectively looking to create a state led buffer zone state that would probably only be recognized by russia and some of its friends, to be a buffer between russia and the government in ukraine and nato further west. as he said, his spokesman came out and said, he did not actually mean he wanted independence for that part of the country. everything we have heard up to eastas been about how the of the ukraine should have more autonomy within the ukraine. that raised eyebrows. particularly considering two other quick comments he made. he said it dates back to imperial russia, when catherine
10:07 am
the great took that part of the world off. he used the word again for the second time in six months and everybody took note. barrosoedly told hosea in response to a question about what his intentions were with invading the ukraine, he said, effectively trying to mean he is not invading ukraine. he said, if i want, i could have time.nks in two weeks there is a lot of concern about the intentions of the russian president when it comes to the ukraine in general and a lot of concern. interpret the spokesman resending his remark? it seems president putin has said so many believable things -- unbelievable things that he finally said something totally believable. >> a good question. , the russianlly
10:08 am
president's words speak for themselves. his spokesman did not exactly argue with what the russian president had said. he sort of interpreted it. does not mean independence. what not like he refuted the russian president was saying. effectively, do not forget, russia is ruled by one man. what he says is very important, even if it is refuted by somebody else. he is landing in estonia tonight. he is delivering a harsh warning to putin? >> yes. the messages, and even nato countries on the western edge of russia will be defended if they are attacked. article five, that requires all , all countries will come to those countries aid. there is a concern in eastern feel like they are
10:09 am
second-class members of europe in general. with a winreassure here, the countries in nato, unlike ukraine, would point out, that the united states is prepared to cap -- to step up. it is also to vladimir putin that he should not even think about perhaps invading the baltics like he has with ukraine. just to strengthen that message, obama will get on the plane and go to the u.k. where he will attend that meeting -- that nato meeting. front andine will be center. >> thank you very much, ryan. >> for more on the global tensions with russia, let's bring in the kernel who joins us now from washington. an intelligence officer in the u.s. air force for almost 30 years. founder and president. where does the u.s. go from here in dealing with russia? will be the biggest
10:10 am
question president obama has to answer. the real idea is that the united states has to be very careful here it is dealing with several russian strategic imperatives. the russians believe they have to go into the ukraine to protect their western flank. are securinghey their borders. to us, it looks very much like they are you invading -- they are invading the ukraine. it is an invasion. they are in essence taking over the russian controlled areas in terms of russian speakers. they will go in and use the ethnic russian population as an excuse to consolidate their power. that will bump them right up against nato countries such as poland and the baltic states. those countries will feel the brunt of the russian advance, whether or not the russians go in there is the next question. the real peace happening next
10:11 am
is, will the european and u.s. sanctions against russia have a bite? it really looks like they're having a effect at the present time. explainit make sense to russia's posture and actions in europe the fact that doesn't spend any meaningful amount of money on its military? perception is worth something and in the case of russia, they have a large and well staffed military and european temperance ending less and less over the past five or six years? >> that is true. the issue is mostthe issue is mo nations spend less than two percent of their gdp on military's. the goal is for countries to spend two percent or more on military forces. the united states spends 4.4% of
10:12 am
gdp on its own forces. there is a disparity. has won the board and of nato for a long time, ever since the founding of nato. russians see this as a vacuum and's -- they believe they could fill that vacuum and are taking it over because they receive europeans being week. they perceive the lack of spending on military and in support of nato is being a key indicator of their willingness to fight. that they have not really drawn a line in the sand in this other case, at least not yet, the russians see this in essence as a possibly yellow light to go ahead and they running through the yellow light right now. had two great russian sanctions, how effective have they been? >> if you give them a letter grade, probably around see minus at this point in time. it is early and it takes a while for sanctions to work. when you go to do the economics
10:13 am
you on german autobahn and look what is driving it, you see a lot of russian passenger cars. there whenrobably be it comes to what is actually seen in german and other european chops. it really does not matter as much to the russians and that is the key ink. you're trying to affect russian behavior. the sanctions are actually a form of forcing putin to increase russian nationalism, saying, they are all against us and are proving our suit -- our theories are right because they're going after us and they are going after us economically. because they are, we are going to be in a position where we can really strengthen our russian nationhood that ryan talked about from london. right nowt is at play with the russians. they're looking at this from a nationalistic standpoint more than anything else.
10:14 am
>> you have been in military intelligence long enough to remember what it was like during the cold war. most other people have not. the world has collectively forgotten what it is like to deal with the russians as an adversary. do we need to go back to the experts of the cold war to understand how vladimir putin thinks and understand how to respond to his actions? able like henry kissinger, who argues persuasively that ukraine needs to be a buffer state, needs to be the switzerland of eastern europe question mark -- europe? >> we have to look at cold war experts and see you what kind they can give us. i think the argument is very apt and henry kissinger's case. you could look at ukraine as a modern-day finland. in the cold war days, finland was basically the buffer state between western europe and eastern europe. there were other countries who played that role as well but finland, because it bordered russia and the soviet union at
10:15 am
the time, was the key player in that way. the ukrainian state could play a role like that. they feel themselves being more else.oland than anything they want independence and are looking at themselves as a poland from the polls -- post-world war i era. that is what they would like to do. they would like to go in and create a degree of independence from russia. russia will not allow it unless we develop some kind of accommodations between them and us. >> thank you so much. >> when we come back, the former countrywide ceo says, dude -- do not blame me for the financial crisis. he rejects the idea that he or the company he founded did anything wrong. >> what else will we do? drink it up. when we come back, we will talk at -- about the crass beers market.
