>> three reasons, and two of them are vladimir putin. the first is that when the f-22 was originally stopped, when secretary gates said 177 planes was enough and congress added another 10, they were looking at a world where they thought wars were going to look like iraq and afghanistan. that was the position from on high. later, russia will get one warning morning and remember they were russia, the prospect of the war seems more real. that was one reason it was considered maybe we might want weapons more money on here to report that kind of concept. a second reason is that both china and russia are building fighters comparable -- not the equal of, but comparable to f-22 in some ways. more importantly, they're willing to exploit them, as we see very vivid in the deal with india. if 187 were , we are thinking about a world in which there may be other countries with that kind of weaponry and with advanced air defense systems. the third reason is that the critics of f-35, in bringing up some of the things they don't like about f-35, have hig

vladimir putin and many other analysts in russia often cite historical grievances in their activities in places like the ukraine and to bolster themselves domestically. they cite three grievances in particular. the collapse of the warsaw collapse, the collapse of the soviet union and nato expansion into those historically russian-dominated territories. do you think that's a fair account for what's happened in the post-cold warer rar? >> sir, if i'm following you i would say it's clear that putin, i believe, i can't say it's clear, i believe that putin's view is is that russia is being constrained by the international norms. international norms established by the west and predominately the u.s. it's from that view that he has, i think, set out deliberately to challenge those norms. to disrupt our international order, globally. wherever he has that opportunity. >> given that countries like poland and latvia and lithuania and estonia have chosen freely to join nato, do you think there's any truth to his claims that these are lands that are traditionally oriented toward the east? >> well,
