right now we want the bombing to stop i don't think that the russian opposition is going to be able to mount anything substantial enough until there are more casualties on their side and on the ukrainian side unfortunately to stop this thing. it needs to start somewhere. the opposition clearly is out there. >> jesse: is ukraine enough glory for vladimir putin? he has talked about in his speech earlier in the week he wants to reestablish basically the entire former soviet empire. i mean, ukraine is, what, twice the size of texas? that's the largest country in europe. i mean, that's a big chunk. is he going to be satisfied in european with just ukraine or is he going to go bigger? >> >> i think the biggest question about putin's aims whether he plans to with this blitz creed knock over the ukrainian government and replace it with something similar to what he has in belarus which is a client state in effect that will do his bidding and that promises obviously to never go into nato.
