that look like a calm points cos it was dependent on depend on what the opposition leader's i do with sabre what the people were out there. on to the independence square would do and at this point it does seem alike. unfortunately the new flights the extremist groups which weren't there and a half to see where rather frightening to me look bad because they've already outfitted with all sorts of tea no helmets and daddy didn't eat the songs they looked like they were ready for serious assault. there were fears that they will be the ones who will be driving the nus unfortunately those years seem to have actually been collected because of me do see the right to use was the position being the driving force children to the store thousands of people there who initially told ritzy just want to be that to express their anger and there weren't that many thousands that's the point of the yes people with common to tell what it was the extremist right wing ally and sales to the other person is from the western part of ukraine who were always there camped out on your blog on it's mostly their tents that

not like him but they fear him, increasingly more so than our own president, he has done a lot of sabrehether in ukraine or now, even in cuba. what do you make of what he is up to? how to we respond? >> he is a strong, autocratic kind of leader, he actually playing from a weak hand. so, certainly, heeeds toee the strig on ou strej on our part, i remember when i was in marine corps bad camp at start of world war ii, sergeant hds me my rifle, and he say, take good care of this rifle, this is your best friend. and rember one thing never . this rifle at anybody unless you are willin to pull the trigger. no empty threats. it is very important, that we conduct ourselves in such a way that when w say something, people take us at o word, and we know we'll follow-up. i am #r-ding thi rding a book about roosevelt and taft, but teddy, his motto was speak softly but carry a big stick. neil: i am wonderingoo in this age, talkingbout republicans of this age, that they speak loudly, for example on issues of spend s, but, they don't ever cut spending, a lot of waiting until i guess, keeping their powde

aren't we sending the message that we're not even going to rattle our sabres. >> loud and clear like we might as well post it in times square. there's no fear of repercussion. they're not worried about american military strength. i believe, at least not under this administration. they might be worried a few select individuals, high value targets, about a predator drone strike coming their way, but other than that, when they hear about these cuts and pulling out of places, that does not sebd the right message. >> we have been in three wars for over a decade. i mean, how much more are we going to do? >> i'm not suggesting or wanting war. i think you can prevent wars by having the force and threat of a military presence that is world class. >> walk soft and carry a big stick. >> i disagree. i think iran is our number one biggest threat on the planet. we haven't fought iran in hand to hand combat. you know how we took down their last round? >> saddam hussein. >> no, we didn't. we went in there with computers. >> yes, that's right. we did do that. >> we sabotaged it. >> we took down their

. >>> new sabre-rattling by russia may indicate they're prepared to use the military to try to changepower in ukraine. the number comes after deposed ukrainian prime minister yanukovych. he told a news organization that he still considers himself president of ukraine and he sought russian protection from what he describes as extremists. russia has begun conducting large-scale military exercises near moscow and has sent fighter jets to the ukrainian border. pro-russian gunmen have seized government buildings in ukraine's crimea region. a russian flag now flies over the local parliament. ukraine's acting president threatened today to use any means necessary to reclaim the territory. is this starting to look like a civil war, folks. this is turning into a major, major foreign policy crisis for the united states. >>> up next, a "deep dive" into a sea change for the sunshine state. why cuba isn't the third-rail of fla politics anymore. >>> nbc's newest late-night host seth meyers is getting in on the tdr 50 florida focus. take a look. >> i notice that when i run across a news story that's

are both doing a bit of sabre rattling today, warning each other not to mettle in ukraine's future.l security advisor susan rice in her first appearance on "meet the press" in a year and half said bluntly, any attempt to interfere for moscow would be a, quote, grave mistake. >> it's not in the interests of ukraine or of russia or europe or the united states to see the country split. it's in nobody's interests to see violence return and the situation escalate. >> the same time, rice rejected the idea that recent events in ukraine and elsewhere have pushed the u.s. and russia back into a cold war style mentality. >> that's a pretty dated perspective that doesn't reflect where the people of ukraine are kwoming from. this is not about the u.s. and russia. this is about whether the people of ukraine have the opportunity to fulfill their aspirations and be a democratic and be part of europe, which they choose to be. it's not necessary, nor is it our interests, to return to a cold war construct, which is long out of date and that doesn't reflect the realities of the 21st century. >> but on

that there's nothing in russia's intervention and national interest prevention and this is a show of sabre rattling. you saw jay carney there take a swipe at russia as well saying it's not in russia's interest to have people believe that the government is corrupt, illegitimate supported by russia saying, hey, we're not the obama bad potential bad actors here. >> and what happens in the ukraine remains to be seen. >> absolutely. >> thanks very much, jim sciutto for that. >>> up next, is a u.s. supreme court justice mailing it in? jeffrey toobin is here to explain why he's suggesting that the supreme court justice clarence thomas is engaged in what he calls a disgraceful silence. >>> and posting online pictures of gruesome x-rays and talking about it. when jake and i first set out on our own, we ate anything. but in time you realize the better you eat, the better you feel. these days we both eat smarter. and i give jake purina cat chow naturals. made with real chicken and salmon, it's high in protein like a cat's natural diet. and no added artificial flavors. we've come a long way. and whate

what's going on with the latest round of sabre rattling. >> it comes from very powerful corners of the parts of the military and something we found on our own trip to iran, it reflects real and continuing divisions inside iran over the prospect of improved relations with the u.s. and the west. tonight iran is celebrating the launch of a new generation of long-range ballistic missile. the state tv announcement made no mention of the u.s., but this weekend the most powerful man in iran, supreme leader ali komco b khamenei called american leaders liars. american officials publicly say they do not seek regime change in iran. that's a lie, he said. they wouldn't hesitate a moment if they could do it. hours later an iranian navy admiral appeared to issue a direct threat to the u.s. claiming iranian warships were approaching american waters and that the move was a direct response to the u.s. naval presence in the persian gulf. the white house dismissed the comments as bluster. >> there was an iranian announcement that they're moving ships close to the united states, and we have no evidence th

and russian sabre-rattling aside, that's the real battle for this new crop of leaders. ukraine's interim government has just been voted in here. they are going to be very angry about the news about viktor yanukovych. he is a wanted man here. he faces charges of mass murder in connection with his role in the killings of 80 protesters here last week. charlie, norah? >> all right, clarissa, thank you. >>> north korea fired four short-range missiles off its eastern coast this morning. the missiles were fired from a site near the border with south korea. that's according to south korea's defense ministry. the north has fired short-range missiles into the sea of japan in the past during military exercises. >>> this morning, millions of you in the west are facing back-to-back winter storms. rain is falling across california, but a more powerful storm is on the way. it could unleash dangerous mudslides and flooding. kara finnstrom is in the san gabriel valley city of glendora east of los angeles. kara, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to everyone here i

. >> we hear the north always sabre rattling, executions, human rights violations, the internationalrt saying it will bring charges, how can the two sides reunify when one side is wanted by the international courts? >> it's hard to see however this call will go. china wants to maintain this regime on their borders. north korea wants to be part of the economic gain with all activity in the south and in china, and there's nothing we can do right now to affect the regime. we have to deal with it as it is and the south korean government has learned that. they're trying to engage economically to draw them out and eventually other political issues can be addressed. >> the images from space were taken from the international space station show exactly how much in the dark north korea is compared to south korea and china. these images were called city lights. now another image we prepared shows you the borders between north and south korea and china just so that people understand we are not talking about an area surrounded by water, all that have dark area that is north korea in the dark is b
