ago now relatively empty. joining us now, glen goustell counsel for national security agency in both obama and trump administrations. hi, glen, can you tell anything from these satellite images? what do they tell you? >> it's pretty clear that this is part of putin's pattern of ratcheting up the pressure to the maximum degree possible. we've seen a steady drip by drip effort on the part of the kremlin to increase troop presence, to engage in new exercises in belarus, showing off their missile capacity, fomenting further trouble in eastern ukraine, all part of it, coupled with cyberactivity to ratchet up the pressure to the maximum degree possible. putin is well-aware, of course, that issatellite images reveal this, all part of his plan to increase pressure, only he knows
