brown: on the no-fly zone. it was nato who made it absolutely clear that they believe that the russians would interpret the declaration of a no-fly zone as the equivalent to nato being at war with russia. and the reason i think they did this, because if you declare a no-fly zone, then you are saying you are prepared to shoot down planes in that no-fly zone whether in fact they were russian or ukrainian. and i think they stop short of doing so. that doesn't mean to say that the military help we are giving the ukraine government should not continue. and that doesn't mean to say that we should not be giving the ukraine air force some help in doing what they are trying to do. but nato has made this announcement, and they made it clear to president putin what their position is. and i think that it is very difficult to shift given what has been said. francine: mr. braun, do you believe that putin will stop at ukraine or given the chance will try at neighboring countries? is a neighboring assault inevitable. fmr. pm.
