i think there is still limited appetite. when we ask people if they want to be more or less involved in world affairs, the number that the u.s. should be involved had ticked up since the spring but not a lot. the reason we have all said amongst ourselves is we talked i don't believe this question of what is the u.s. role in the middle east, what if the proper strategy against the islamic state, army will be a huge midterm election because both parties are deeply divided on this. you look at the vote in the house last week on authorizing training the syrian rebels, for example. conservative split amongst themselves, liberals split amongst themselves. the black caucus was split. there's not a party position for the democrats or republicans. it's very hard for parties to gain traction on an issue like that. keg ofpolitical powder involvement -- rachel, you mentioned that national security, it is possibly a good thing that is not a big part of debate in the midterm elections. explain why. >> i would love for national security to

i don't think anyone has the appetite for sanctions but i hope that all countries have appetite to stop this conflict in ukraine. decidedpean council that european commission has to make concrete proposals to move forward with sanctions. it was a unanimous decision. >> to be fair, there are sanctions and there are sanctions. the sense is that these are sanctions. we have heard from the german chancellor, suggesting that what we get out of the european union is something quite similar, along the same lines of what we already had. what that means for equities and bonds is really, perhaps more russian companies are finding their access to european capital markets restricted. so far we have had russian banks and defense companies. some banks and defense companies losing some of their access to european capital markets. the sense is that that could be extended to more defense companies and maybe some russian oil companies. a stepely would be forward in terms of the sanctions but not a huge one. >> we heard this week from president putin and he has presented a seven-step plan towards a cease-

and there is an appetite for leadership. he sounded certainly appalled to arms against isis and russia and ukraine. >> i think the president is cognizant of how his words land right now and also cognizant of the mood of the american people. that was striking the way he kept talking about unanimity among the nato members and the parallels that has for the american public. if nato members agree, i think it can be as easily said that the american public agrees that we are all revolted and horrified by isis. i don't think there's anything but unanimity an that. there's also nothing but unanimity an the fact that isis is not only disgusting and terrible in terms of what they've already accomplished but a real threat not only to the region they're in but a threat to us. the question is what you do in response? i think there is an appetite for strong counterterrorism measures. i think the president is right in assuming that there isn't an appetite for new american war. and the question is, how big your counterterrorism efforts can
