new jersey senator robert menendez joins me now. jack kennedy, our hero, used to figure out the other side, what they were thinking and churchill, everybody's hero, said russia is an enigma, but you have to understand that they have interests. find out what the interests are and you can figure them out. what do you think putin wants? >> well, first of all, you've got to understand putin's mentality, right? putin loves peter the great. why was peter the great? because he amassed moreland for the russian empire. this is part of what putin sees. he sees a return of the demise of what was the soviet union and wants to extend its influence territorial and otherwise. crimea important because of the base there and the access it gives the russians to the entire region and to the sea. and but at the end of the day, i think we have to remind president putin of his own remarks six months ago in an op i have ed in the new york times speaking about syria, we have to stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic a
