personality just a decade ago, when georgia lost not one but two of its autonomous regions to russia. georgiang smaller, the regions being smaller, the issues being smaller. but you can say what you like about our last two presidents, the one thing everybody agrees on is they had different personalities. as to arms control agreements, we've got to trust but verify. ronald reagan entered into agreements with a soviet union that clearly was less trustworthy than putin is today . those who enter into these agreements and rely on trust re fooling themselves. the allegations are twofold. one, that the -- that a russian missile that they call long range was tested at an intermediate range. it seems clear that it is a long range missile. the other is that a midrange missile that the russians say was for sea-based purposes was tested onground, which is allowed, but tested onground with what appears to be a operational, usable ground-based launcher, perhaps one, and i'd like to hear from our witnesses, that was mobile. and so it appears as if they were developing a ground-based capacity for this inter

in 2008, when russia invaded georgia and grabbed south ossetia, that george w. bush, the republican president stood up for the allies and did all of that. that's a right wing talking point with no grounding in reality. that rhetoric is damning, and demonstrates the worst thing through a party son lens. what we have is an international crisis and an actor, leader of the country, creating a great daner, not because obama is soft and bush strong. >> how much should we care. the american people don't care, given what we see from polls about what is going on in ukraine. the reality is the trade with ukraine is negligible. we are doing a segment on venezuela next, and we have more russia. >> after russia invaded crimea, i made that argument - crimea is not all that important and it's not of central security importance to the united states. destabilising ukraine is different. civil war in ukraine is different. a failed state close to europe is a big problem for the united states and our allies. i'm talking about major european allies. failed states give rise to terrori

so those countries by intimidation of russia and georgia and belarus and ukraine.the most important. it's the largest population. it's the most important economically and historically for the russians. ukraine was about to sign an association agreement and putin invaded crimea under that pretext. he's using intelligence operatives and special forces to basically bring instability to those countries so he can say it's his job to protect the ethnic russians. very transparent goals by a very cynical but strategic leader. >> it's working -- people read it over here, we know better. that's not the case in russia. i don't believe it's the case in crimea and now it appears it's not necessarily the case in eastern ukraine. >> well, what you have in eastern ukraine is a situation that's not exactly as it was in crimea. you have many ethnic russians but you don't have as high a percentage in eastern ukraine as you did in crimea. you have a lot of ukrainian nationalists living there. we would rather get his way without intervening militarily but he may be having so much insta

bush made the same calculation when russia invaded georgia in 2008. so what we only having a leverage is the the of u.s. and european sanctions and that's not going well because the europeans don't want to put forward big sanctions as the us might want to do, and we have the able to try to slow the russians down through grandmas like the one today. it's -- threw agreements like today. it's the best the us can do right now. if we can arm the ukrainian government in a more forceful way and put american sanctions-financial, on the line, that would be a stronger response. >> professor, live with us. thank you. >>> one of the world's largest food companies whose products are probably in your home right now, claims if you like any of its products on facebook, you can't sue the company and that's not the only way you may be giving up your legal right. plus, history in the making. that's what the campaign of toronto's crack-smoking mayor rob ford is promising when he kicks off his re-election bid in a matter of a few hours. details of the big party in toronto

he suggested that georgia, which fought a war in russia in 2008, could aspire to nato membership. >> our support for georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders remains unequivocal. we continue to support georgia's euro atlantic aspirations. >> nato membership for georgia and ukraine is a redline for the kremlin, which is already upset about nato's decision to freeze all cooperation. >> the decision by the nato council of foreign minister's to suspend practical military and civil cooperation with russia creates a sense of dÉjÀ vu. the language of the statements resembles the verbal jousting of the cold war era. >> even within nato, not all agree with the secretary-general, but the u.s. and germany have already ruled out jordan -- georgian membership. >> for more on this, we spoke to our correspondent in brussels and asked what steps nato members had agreed upon to ease the concerns of member states with borders close to russia. >> we have already heard that nato has in protest to that annexation of crimea canceled all tactical -- that

[inaudible] even if people understood that mr. putin, the prime minister, the most important decision maker, but still the decisions were based upon the relationship between those two younger presidents. when it became clear that mr. putin was going to come back into the kremlin which coincided with the demonstrations in the fall of 2011 against mr. putin and the elections which they said were falsified, that, that was really a breaking point. mr. putin blames the united states. since then i think the relationship has been on a downward slide. this year, of course, we have

. >> you are suggesting that russia's invasion of georgia in 2008 set the table for what is happening because the west didn't push back hard enough back then, and putin didn't expect push back this time? >> absolutely. that's exactly the case, and that just now [ inaudible ]. >> you are even suggesting that russia and putin are bluffing over what is going on right now. explain what you mean. >> i mean that i don't think just mr. putin has an intention to occupy half of ukraine, or the whole ukraine, i believe and i think just his intention is just to press the western society and the whole world to recognize that annexation of crimea was legal in accordance to international law, and mr. putin is trying to create a negotiating position, that's why promoting some kind of unrest in the eastern parts of ukraine so that -- to press -- to press the western governments just to recognize that crimea annexation was legal. >> and if he gets that, does this end? >> no, i think -- i think -- it does not end, and i don't think just a recognition will come. i think just appropriate consistent react

in 2008 we saw russia and a georgia. earlier this year russia invaded and occupied, and then next crimea and ukraine with barely a shot fired. he did this in the name of protecting russian-speaking ukrainians, and he is now encircling eastern ukraine and appears to be poised to do the same. in a recent speech to president's stated that other territories and russian-speaking peoples that are separate from the russian homeland, no one seems to know exactly what the president's ultimate ambitions are. are they to wreak havoc on his neighbors to make them an attractive to the west as a partner, are they to create the glory days of the soviet era with the new russia? russia is an oil driven gas economy. yet many in the west, particularly the europeans and knowledge sanctions against russia will also hurt world markets with the president able to enact sufficient economic revenge. we must also keep in mind that the u.s. and its allies also need russian cooperation on many key international issues and crises from the civil war an

when russia invaded georgia in 2008, so i think, the president obama is following a sensible policy hereeds help from the europeans. without that common outlook, putin, the price to putin will simply not be big enough. jenna: on that "washington post" editorial board had a real interesting piece i wanted to get your quick final thoughts on. basically the post said that the policy the president has been following has failed. he must act now or doom ukraine to dismemberment. big picture for us if you would, ambassador, if that was the fate of ukraine and it was divided up, what is at stake for us and the world? >> a big principle. what vice president biden said. we should want to live in a world where big countries don't take over land of smaller countries. that is what ending the cold war was about with the victory for democratic countries. this is big moment for the united states. i think the post was a bit too rough on the president, there is certainly more the president can do. jenna: ambassador burns, a pleasure to have you on the program. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. jo

the black sea in international waters, that was also done by president bush this 2008 when russia invaded georgiaely symbolic and second objective that the u.s. has and that is to reassure the nato allies, in this case bulgaria, romania, that the united states will protect the nato allies. ukraine is not a nato ally, but bulgaria, row maniamania, furth nos, poll north, poland, all those allies are worried whether you putin will go further. so president obama's test is to let putin know that nato is s g sacrosan sacrosanct. i don't think it will come to that. president putin is highly rational. he does respect power and strength. that is in nato. but will he respect the threat of sanctions in eastern ukraine, i think that is the question for today and this week. and we certainly need to hear more from the united states and germany on that threat of sanctions. that is really the only hope to deter the russians from going further into eastern ukraine. >> nicholas, barbara, many thanks to both of you. and that picture of the ship you saw was the uss donald cook, on the way to the black sea. >>> still
