troops at risk to defend latvia. >> the answer is no. >> i think the answer might be no.ut i would say, i'm more optimistic that that's not going to happen than i was a few days ago. >> near the end of your story, you land on something that's really interesting, a counter explanation of putin's lack of interest in going deep into ukraine. you say simply, ukraine is an ungovernable mess. tell us about that. >> well, you know, i think not for this story, but somewhere along the line someone reminded me of colin powell's pottery barn theory. that was the idea that if -- he warned george w. bush if you invade iraq, if you break it, you own it. if putin goes into eastern ukraine with his military force, suddenly he owns it. crimea is already looking like sort of an economic and social mess in all kinds of ways. it's going to be really expensive for russia to absorb it and restabilize it. i think the same would go much more so for eastern ukraine. not to mention that crimea has an overwhelmingly really does have a pro-russian population. eastern ukraine not quite so much. and y

i mean, probably the thing that concerns me the most is what's going on in latvia where you now have these pro-russian bands or gangs or whatever the heck you want to call them beginning to create protests in latvia. that gets to be very dangerous because latvia is a nato country, and we have a solemn obligation to defend them as though we were attacked. >> do you think he wants all the old republics back? >> anybody's guess, right? i think for certain, he wants an undue amount of influence over them so they're basically in russia's orbit. and that the west not interfere too much there. if the west wants to interfere there, they have to do it through him. so i'm not sure he wants to put together a soviet socialist republic, but i think he wants a russian steer of influence. in crimea, he went beyond that. he has taken crimea. that was an invasion. >> yeah, you notice no one talks about it anymore. they just moved on to, let's hope he doesn't take the rest of ukraine. >> that was a conquest. >> right. >> i think the administration and the european union and angela merkel, all of their

in other words, is it an attack on latvia? how will german business react to a subversion of latvia where there is a sizable russian and russian-speaking population or estonia? both nato, of course, countries and european union countries. and i wouldn't discount the possibility that putin will become involved by the fact that he hadn't been sufficiently punished and through his actions vis-a-vis crimea and will act more boldly elsewhere. one other thing i'd like to add on crimea, this is only the beginning. in other words, russia may have swallowed crimea, but the mood amongst the -- [inaudible] in particular is going to become increasingly anti-russian. there's already several announcements of a new emirates being created, in other words, a jihadist emirate in crimea, and the possibility that russian will have expanded into north caw cats, the difference is not very large. a lot of youth, i think, are going to become militant. some of them have been fighting in syria. i'm sure the links with the jihadists and the salafists in

week is that he has the right to protect ethnic russians, and there are ethnic russians in estonia, latvia, moldova, places. his policies are to destabilize the government. he's doing it in an insidious way - not by rolling tanks across the boarder, but by instigating and helping to instigate the disturbances. >> russia has been on a propaganda blitz, they have been stirring things up and focussing on candidates who are anti-russian, right wingers, despite polls showing they have not support. two top candidates are from the east and are native russian speakers. petro porashenko, a chocolate magnate was a minister under viktor yanukovych. shouldn't this calm vladimir putin down when he talks about protecting russians in other parts of eastern europe? >> i think vladimir putin made it clear, including saying he doesn't want to own ukraine or take it over. it's too big, the economy is a mess. it's deeply fractured. i think he wants to destabilize it so ukraine is not strong enough to reorientate itself in trading relationships. he wants a ukraine dependent on russia, that's why you see that g

. >> should people in latvia be worried? >> if you're in nato, i would say no.lly calculating. i don't think any in the nato orbit is threatened. countries like kazakhstan, one could see putten begin to have unrest in those countries and try to exploit it. and also, he may bin the process, but then the the process takes on a dynamic of its own. so you can't just say this is what russia is doing. you do have separatists in ukraine now. the process itself razz callized people. civil war breeds civil war. we're seeing that in ukraine. >> what can barack obama do? >> a couple of things. you talked about sngs sanctions. up those so it's hard to get the europes on board. use energy ingens. but probably in the short run it's helping ukraine become stronger. it's economic. it's political. it's military. we're talking about basic police organization and training. what we're seeing is the ukrainian police forces and military forces are borderline incompetent. any we can do to strengthen them with training and relevant light arms will help. >> if we give them night vision

relentless rainfall in serbia and latvia triggers floods.could be unearthed and explode while rescuers trying to do their work. atika shubert, what can you tell us? >> well, the rains have stopped for now. but the bigger concern is that the water and a surge of water will travel down the country into the capital of belgrade. there's issue of land mines but there in the balkans and now reports that they have shifted because of landslides and floods. so rescuers have had to go much more slowly than they wanted to. there have already been dozens killed. and thousands evacuated out. so this is hampering efforts. the other concern is one of the country's biggest power station is threatened by the flood and supplies 20% of the electricity for the country. so these are things that rescuers are grappling with on top of the water. >> atika shubert covering that from london, thanks so much. >>> other news, a whistle-blower goes public explaining what happened to her when she refused to cover up potentially deadly treatment delays at her v.a. hospital.

that happens, you'll see a lot more troops in our nato allies in the countries like lithuania and latvia. >> and jon, one of the things we have seen with this struggle over saxs, are the united states has limited means to deter putin. >> no question. but the white house is prepared to lower the boom of much broader economic sanctions than we have seen so far. targeting entire sectors of the russian economy. they believe russia will go along if russia invades, that europe will go along if russia invades. here's the thing. white house officials say these sanctions could be triggered without a russian invasion. if the russian separatists group do anything to disrupt the presidential elections scheduled for later on this month in ukraine. the president has acknowledged there is no guarantee sanctions will work. >> i want to turn to benghazi. back in the headlines this week. debated in the white house briefing room after the release of a new e-mail about the infamous talking points. the e-mail was from deputy national security adviser ben rhodes. we see it rig there. you really got into it in

as you are sitting in maldo va, if you are sitting in estonia, lithuania, latvia, are you a lot more nervous now than you were six months ago? .. >> certainly than you were six months ago, i think the last time everybody was very nervous was in 2008, around the wall with georgia, where putin suddenly intended to get everyone's attention there too, if you recall back to august 2008, there was a lot of concern that today was tblisi and there was a flurry of activity and then it seemed that putin took a step back. in many respects that is because he wasn't pushed any further with georgia and ukraine, ukraine sort of stepped back and became occupy uhed in its own problem and he didn't have to take any action there but what we have seen again is the ratcheting back of the heat, a lot of concern expressed in the balance tick states about the russian population there, that was something that was a big feature in the 1990s, that set the stage again and certainly if you are sitting in maldo va and about to sigh sign one of these association agreements with europe formally i in in june, at the

your country is smaller, so the proportion is a little bit different, but 26% in estonia, 27% in latvia. in this case the argument was that there were, in fact, discriminate ory actions being taken against russians. let me go back to another point worth mentioning, and that is that since ukraine has been independent, there are two key points to remember. one, there was a referendum, and, you know, at the time the referendum was held, crimea voted in favor of the independence of ukraine and being part of ukraine. since ukraine's independence, i can't cite for you one is hes eggsest movement that i'm aware of or allegations or discriminatory action. if there was people would take recourse. the doctrine which basically refutes the legitimacy of the international system. it also undermines western values that russia has legitimate rights for going in and for dealing with situations or circumstances. if you go by that kind of a framework, by the way, or take action anywhere on behalf of its citizenry. it would be a western strategy. the strategy being in what i think is lacking is we've been
