have said before that the russians would not station troops there. send -- we are going to see pre-positioning stocks. an emergency, ukraine is not a member of nato. a condition that meets regularly. there is a strong russian population in those countries. there has to be a signal here and i hope that we can see that. speaking at obama the white house this afternoon, clearly putting the blame with moscow. they have isolated russia. nothing seems to have deterred president putin.

>> i hate to say it that you need to have clear concrete actions. military as well as putting the strategy together, military, diplomatic and political strategy. the u.n. needs to get involved. it's a clear violation of international law. >> this seems to be people just like yourself infuriated by what they see russia doing. that they keep on taking advantage of the situation in the ukraine and nothing seems to happen that deters moscow. >> what has to happen now is that it's a clear violation. we have satellite pictures and proof of tanks and other equipment. and no one knows what was inside .

e? >> i think that he is going to thata lot of eager leaders want to discuss with them what they can do. i think there is a recognition that there has to be a force on the ground. will be first for that job because this will separate them. it will be a desire to shore up againstfor an effort isis. will be a happiness and an eagerness to come in with both feet again because of the profound disruptive impact that would have. good you think it is a idea for the u.s. to not conduct military air strikes? this looks like it is where the islamic state militants are making their move.
