joining me now via skype is ambassador nicholas burns with great experience over there. also, former u.s. undersecretary for political affairs. listening to josh earnest, you can hear the deep concern in his voice. it's a concern i've heard from others in the region i've been talking to. you know this region well. how quickly could a tit-for-tat situation like this escalate? >> well, jim, it's a very dangerous moment. the united states of course recognizes this. israeli anger over the murder of the three israeli teenagers is understandable. and when prime minister netanyahu asks for justice to be done, of course everyone would, in the u.s. government, would agree the killers need to be brought to justice but peacefully and through civil means. the last thing of course that anyone wants to see between the palestinians and the israelis is escalation of violence. >> john kerry tweeted earlier today. i'm going to share that with our viewers. in his words, the world has too often learned the hard way that violence only leads to more violence. it applies to another debate goin

via skype by a specialist and defense studies at the australian national university.r joining much us. if it is proved to be pro-russian rebels who downed the aircraft, what does -- how does that change the geopolitical game? where does that leave the russian president and russia itself? certainly change the geopolitical dynamics significantly because we have a demonstration of a very careful approach to managing russia militia. you would think that this would have required high-level management. you do not deploy this kind of surface to air missile system without checks and balances and you do not deploy them in the middle of an internationally recognized civilian airline flight route and expect that it managed by some half trained member of a militia. it is a serious and egregious briefer responsibility by whoever is responsible. the question there is who is responsible? >> i need to get to the reports we've had of a telephone call from the rebels to moscow saying aat they thought it was military aircraft and there were some tweets made to the same effect. >> what w

s flight service via skype out of stafford, virginia. what kind of missile is capable of this and who has it in? it's certainly something beyond a conventional surface-to-air missile we think of. shoulder-launched miss aisles have an altitude typically of less than 12,000 feet. they can't reach ige -- anything that's 33,000 feet up. it's very sophisticated, something you don't expect to be in the hands of anybody other than a sovereign government. with the splintered government, obviously somebody was able to operate this very sophisticated system to be able to fire this missile. >> dmitri, what is the view in ukraine right now about this whole situation? >> emily, thank you for having me. i wish it was under better circumstances the this is a vivid example of where putin's politics can actually lead to and the developments today is nothing less than a terrible tragedy and an act of international terrorism on a mass scale. unfortunately the fact are straightforward. the russian government is doing everything they can, bombarding the spac
