I will introduce you to a very prominent expert who says and Foreign Policy at the cos cars, one of the films up for best documentary tells the story of egypts revolution brilliantly. I will speak with the director of the movie the square. But first, heres my take. In a strange act of historical coincidence it was 60 years ago this week that soviet leader nikita handed the premier over to the ukraine. Everyone was part of one, big, unhappy soviet union but that hakts has created todays geopolitical crisis. Russia has made its move, detached crimea from the governments control.

In any event, washingtons response should be clear and forceful. Russia has violated all kinds of laws and norms, including most crucially a treaty that it signed with ukraine, guaranteeing that countrys borders in return for which ukraine gave up its Nuclear Weapons.
