i'm here to make the connections to your money real. >> welcome back to "inside story." i'm ray suarez. the whole political crisis in ukraine began when ousted president yanukovych rejected economic help from europe in favor of aid from russia and president vladimir putin. while putin showcased the new russia on the world stage during the olympics, ukraine lurched suddenly back towards the west. we want to continue our discussion on ukraine by trying to understand putin's world-view. joining us now, nadia duke at the national endowment for democracy. in california, kathryn stoner, director of the program international policy studies at stanford, university. and in washington, molly mccue, she was an adviser to georgia i from 2008 to 2013. nadia, is what we're watching right now policy being made on the fly, or does vladimir putin have a very specific outcome in mind, and did he when all this began? >> you actually used a phrase a describing the sochi olympics saying a new russia was on display. there is a new ideology that has been in the making for quite some time to put russia back on the world stage as a power for recognize conne reckoned with. and his believe is that he's moving russia towards, creating a russian world. he believes that ukraine and incidentally belarus also belongs to this russian world, and any ethnic russians that happen to be beyond the current border of russia also belong to that world. this is the direction he is heading in, and this has been in the planning for a long time, for a while. >> katherine, do you agree? even if the demonstrations in the maidan had not taken place, vladimir putin was going to try to get his arms around ukraine? >> i think nadia is right to some degree, but i disagree a little bit as well. i think he does have a perspective that his goal is to, when he came back in office i in 2012, and he'll probably be in office for another 20 years, his goal is to re-establish russia as an international pow power, and historically it has been that. and i think he took advantage of an opportunity that presented itself. i think in that sense he was impulse opportunistic, but it does fit in this view of russi russia's natural sphere of influence, and needing to create a bulwark against western incursion. >> we saw some of this in moldova, where the russian administrations of the day gave aid and comfort to a breakaway province inside of a russian-speaking area inside moldova. we've seen this in small areas of ca caucasus. >> i think since the disillusi dissolution of the soviet union, russia has been able to manipulate these territories that will stay u unstable. the excuse given is usually similar, they're protecting an ethnic or national minority or russian minority in these places. it's been a tool used, and there has not been a mechanism to resolve or advance these conflicts. and because that have it's a tool that putin continues to use for countries who are looking to the west or to other partnerships more under his thumb of control. at the same time the tactics in crimea are new. this is a piece of territory that is much more significant in the move being made. i don't think it's unfinished business in the sense that this is a piece of land that russia should own and be part of russia. the analogy to kosovo is so disingenuous. there is no ethnic cleansing. if you want to say that ukraine is a nation divided, which i don't gra agree with, but it dos have a new government that is represented by the pro-western side rather than the pro-russia side it would say that the representatives of crimea have been fairly represented. >> maybe vladimir putin has been emboldened that he has been able to push around these smaller places. ukraine smaller in left compare to countries in the outside world, but they're o pro russian on the ground in the peninsula, and it looks like they're getting away with it. >> in going to russia you can't but help hear experts giving their view. i've been at meetings where they say yes, putin will push as far as he's allowed to go. and so far there has not been the wherewithal, the ability or the instruments to push back or to stop him. he--my thought is that actually he is very opportunistic, but at the same time he often has several scenarios going at the same time. i think one scenario was to insure that yanukovych stayed- stayed--the ex-president yanukovych that we just saw on the screen, that he should stay as president of the ukraine. i think all of the last three to four months of the popular up rising on the maidan and some of the provocations that happened there fit into the scenario of trying to keep yanukovych as president. the russians often say that while the new government broke the 21st of february agreement, which you recall it was the three foreign ministers from eastern europe who came to kiev, and also a representative from russia, and the opposition leaders and president yanukovych signed an agreement. this, i think, was the open door for president putin to keep control. however, russia didn't actually sign that agreement, which is kind of the interesting thing. that failed. yanukovych was shaken out, fled, actually, fled from his country. and so there is also the scenario of taking over crimea, which we see unfolding as much as incrediblous as many of us are, but unfolding in front of our eyes, and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop this. >> kathryn stoner, how do you see the end game? i kept reading predictions and forecasts about where it ends. about what would be good enough, what would be sufficient for russia to then pull back from the brink. is it at this point nothing less than a full repatriatation of crimea? >> i think we're beyond ukraine getting crimea back, unfortunately for the ukrainians. they referendum will go through. we on the u.s. side won't accept it as legitimate. the russians will view it as legitimate. the crimeans will say we're an independent country and we will decide what we want, and we deciding to back to russia. i don't think we're going to get crimea back for ukraine, unfortunately. obviously the united states is not goining to war with russia over crimea, but we can probably get a few things out of russia to calm the situation down and not go further. one of those things has to be russian recognition of the legitimacy of the new government in ukraine. mr. yanukovych ran from ukraine. he sits very bravely across the border now pretending still to be president, but even president putin isn't saying that he wants to reinstate yanukovych as a president, even though he's saying that he was legitimately elected president, and that's true. but the fact is that he has been impeached. whether or not its constitutional is irrelevant, the fact speak for itself. there is a government in ukraine and we need russia to deal with it and speak with it. the reason why john kerry is not going over to russia to speak is because the russians won't speak to the ukrainians, and that really is a condition for moving forward at all. so that's one thing. if we can see crimea as gone, then we can ask, okay, now if we concede that, recognize the legitimacy of this new government, let's start talking to them. >> kathryn stoner at stanford university. we'll take a short break. when we come back we'll talk about the down side risk of russia even if it gets what it wants in ukraine. this is inside story. real reporting that brings you the world. giving you a real global perspective like no other can. real reporting from around the world. this is what we do. al jazeera america. al jazeera america. >> welcome back to inside story. i'm ray suarez. ukraine's new foreign minister will be in washington meeting with president obama on wednesday. diplomatic efforts are at a standstill. russia is facing the threat of sanctions from europe maybe in the next few days, but so far president putin has not budged. the question, of course, will he, we're talking about president putin and his motives on this edition of this program. molly, i'm wondering if rush is russia is much more integrated in the economy, there are risks that didn't exist in earlier eras for unilateral action on the part of russia. >> i think yes and no. the russian economy is much more integrated in the rest of the world. but it's also important to remember that one of the first things that president putin did when he came back to office in 2012 was to announce to all of the bangers and olagarts and others in his cabinet that this was time for russians to bring their money home. no more banks

jazeera america al jazeera america. >>> how much is the water in this glass worth? to those of us inundated by snow and rain this endless winter, probably not much. for folks in california dealing with one of the worst droughts in history, it's a drop in the product of what their parched state desperately needs. for some investors what they say in a glass like this is liquid gold. david schuster checks in on the business of buying, selling and trading water. >> we all tend to think of water as being essentially free. we think that it falls out of the sky, and it should be delivered to us more or less free if not completely free. >> colorado water analyst receive maxwell says most americans have no clue about the value of the water that comes out of their tap each and every day. he points to a dozen u.s. companies and investment funds literally buying water worth a combined $6 billion, just a fraction of $500 billion in the overall water industry but a sector gaining interest as investors bet on water becoming the new oil. >> the scenario has tremendous challenges but tremendous opportunities because there is no substitute. >> mark is a partner at water asset management, a new york city investment firm with an annual $700 million in water transactions. >> water is probably one of the more neglected asset classes that we've come across in our professional careers. >> it's hard to imagine water as a commodity bought and sold like gold, but here's how it works. every year state and local authorities divide the available water supply among what are called water right holders. these are farmers, municipalities, and industrial interests. certain areas in the western united states allow those rights to be traded with interested buyers, usually in one on one transactions. that's where private investigators come in. they snatch up water rights in dry states with the highest water needs, mostly districts in california, texas, arizona and colorado. >> having said that, there are pit falls in trying to invest in the water industry too quickly or without sufficient background. >> water can be notoriously complicated to invest in as at commodity. it comes with specific rules about how and when it can be used. so will water rights must be used for agriculture and only in certain seasons. prices of water vary region to region. it's heavy and expensive to move and it can be liquid as t. boone pickens found out when it took a decade to unload trillions of gallons of water he owned in texas. you can't just necessarily sell water whenever you want. >> there may be only one, two r or a handful of potential buyerses for the assets you hold. when you're ready to exit your investment, those buyers may nots be ready to buy. sfwlo some private water investors count on water outperforming other investments over time. other companies like pure cycle in colorado sell the water they buy to local consumers like arapahoe county as a private utility. mark harding says pure cycle is providing a service many governments can no longer afford. >> there is a tremendous amount of investment, there's a tremendous amount of expertise that goes behind that that's making sure to deliver that water as a clean, fresh supply of water for our customers. >> and harding says you don't need much expertise to see water's value in the years ahead. >> if you have a fixed supply of water and you have a growing demand for that water supply, your economic forces really indicate that the value of that water in a water-short area will continue to grow. >> david schuster, al jazeera. >> in an effort to make better use of the limited water resources they have, california officials in late january announced they want to streamline and accelerate the transferring the water rights. that's good news for private investors faced with a time-consuming and costly process. >>> my final thoughts go to theater and milton. two fine brothers who in 1921 started a retail and mail order operation in boston that sold gear to shipboard radio officers. they named the first store after the structure that housed naval communications, radio shack. i grew up on radio shack. my story mingles with theirs, and as a kid i went to a local radio shack and got lost in it. it's where i saw my first personal computer and went for every little obscure electronic part i needed or in my case that i didn't need. it was always staffed by people who were more enthusiastic than i was about electronics and gadgetry. radio shack fed my inner geek, but things changed. the company says more than 90% of am
