Richard Engel: Obama Admin Has Done Nothing To Deter Putin (Washington Free Beacon)
NBC’s Richard Engel says Vladmir Putin has no “interest in de-escalating” and the Obama administrations weak response to Putin’s Ukraine aggression has done nothing to deter him.
“I don’t think he has any interest in de-escalating. Vladmir Putin, based on all the conversations I’ve had with many analysts over the last several months is a person who likes tension, he thrives under stress, he likes the brinksmanship,” Engel said Tuesday on MSNBC’s Jansing & Co.
