Well, you know, what we need to do is we actually need to act now. I think we should act in measured fashion. I don't want to escalate, I want to de escalate. But Vladimir Putin has to pay a price for what he did in Crimea. We've got to take some action, hopeful he can, we can force him to withdraw from Crimea. We certainly do not want him to advance any further. (03:38–03:42)
