but, first, tough new sanctions against russia are reminding many of the days of the cold war. >>> there's a new and strong warning to russia from the international community, the u.s., japan and the european union have now agreed to apply more economic pressure in the form of sanctions over moscow support for rebels fighting the ukrainian government. u.s. president barack obama said the sanctions will take direct aim at the russian arms, and the finance sectors. >> russia is once again isolating itself from the international community setting back decades of genuine progress, and it doesn't have to come to this. it didn't have to come to this. it does not have to be this way. this is a choice that russia and president putin in particular has made.
