ambassador to russia, michael mcfaul is joining us once again. he's back in stanford university, only back a couple days, ambassador and the situation is escalating by the moment. i want you to listen to what senator john mccain told us here in "the situation room" just a little while ago about president obama. >> it's been clear that maybe the president of the united states has been a bit naive about vladimir putin and his ambitions. >> you served the president of the united states, you were named as his ambassador in moscow, you're a scholar when it comes to russia and the former soviet union. is the president a bit naive when it comes to putin? >> no. and i worked with the president for five years, wolf. i worked with at the white house for three years before going to moscow. i think the president has a very clear understanding of president putin and his motivations. and this is really not the time to talk about who's weak and who's not. i think we need to talk about how to resolve this crisis. and i want to be clear, it's not too late to reso

and when i do, i want to emphasize, i do not do so in the name of michael mcfaul.lf of president obama, secretary of state kerry and the administration. they don't like it. that's clear. >> what is it that we in the united states misread about the relationship between medvev. it was almost as if they hadn't spoken and it was a totally different relationship once putin took off. what did we misread about m medvedev and putin? >> i would say two things. one, we underestimated how autonomous he was and how the prime minister at the time, prime minister putin deliberately tried not to get involved in those things. even when we tried a couple of times to reach out to prime minister putin, he pushed back and said that's not my job. that's medvedev's job. we did misread, particularly the arab spring, their views. and also the protest that is erupted in september and throughout the year of 2012, i don't know how medvedev would have responded. i would put it even stronger, we never had an issue about democracy and human rights with medvedev in a dramatic way because those k

michael mcfaul is joining us from moscow. today is his last day as ambassador. thank you for squojoining us. you've been there in russia for two years. russia has recalled their ambassador to the ukraine for questions. i want to play for you what susan rice said about the question about what would happen if russia sent in troops to the ukraine to restore order. take a listen. >> that would be a grave mistake. it's not in the interest of the ukraine or of russia or of europe or the united states to see a country split. it's in nobody's interest to see violence return and escalate. >> how likely do you think it is that russia would send troops in, especially considering the fears of the ukrainian unrest spreading across the border? >> i can tell you that things here are very tense and what government officials are saying about what is happening on the ukraine, on the television stations here you see a lot of heated rhetoric because of what they call their special relationship with the ukraine, especially those regions in the east. >> how strongly has it been conve

ambassador to russia, michael mcfaul. ambassador, welcome to "meet the press." >> thanks for having me, david. >> as the games are under way, as i said, there's a focus on our athletes but the threats are real. all the reporting i've done in washington indicates this elevated threat environment. what's your own assessment there as the games have begun on the ground? >> well, the threat environment is the primary responsibility for our team on the ground here. we've been preparing for this for several months. actually a couple of years now. we have an office here with about 150 people. the threat assessment has not changed since we've been here. and we accord fate very closely with the russians to share information about anything that might happen. >> the fear is that the russians are not actually sharing everything they've got for fear that the u.s. would exploit that, would somehow try to make them look bad. is that the case? do you know everything you need to know to keep our athletes and others safe there? >> well, we

ambassador to moscow michael mcfaul was asked if snowden could have been a spy for the russians. >> i can't mention on the evidence here or there in terms of those things. what i can say is we want him to come home, face the charges against him and have a court of law decide what he has and has not done. >> that has been the consistent obama administration line on edward snowden. do you think we'll ever know the full extent of the leaks without offering him some kind of amnesty? >> i don't know. i don't know if politically they'll be able to do that. there's so many people within the government and beyond the government that are so upset about this. i don't know that it would be politically feasible to offer him some kind of amnesty from the obama administration or any future administration at this point. >> angela, there were also new disclosures, the nsa is monitoring a fraction of u.s. cell phone traffic. "the washington post" reported on friday in 2006 a senior u.s. official said the nsa was collecting closer to 100% of the americans' phone records from a number of u.s. companies

. >> i was interviewing michael mcfaul and he said he couldn't believe that russia would engage in something would be so destabilizing. gloria borger, very quickly, because we have to throw it to wolf, what does the president say? >> they need to ask questions about whose forces are moving into crimea. they have denied that it is their forces and intelligence is telling them that and then he has to say that and then direct what needs to be done next, jim. >> that's it. our coverage conditions with "the situation room." >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. we're following the growing crisis in ukraine where tensions are rapidly escalating and the president of the united states, president obama is about to walk into the white house briefing room to make a major statement. the ukrainian government is accusing russian black sea forces of trying to seize two airports in crimea and cutting off communications between the russian majority region and the rest of ukraine. russian troops also
