Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass joins Andrea Mitchell to talk about the prospect of a drawn-out war in Ukraine and the risk of President Putin further escalating the war. “We’d better gear ourselves and gear our policy for a long, protracted policy. I don't see Vladimir Putin giving up because then he'd have to justify all these costs against very little results,” says Haass. If Ukraine wins the war, “that’s a scenario where somebody like Putin, who’s under very few constraints, might actually be tempted to use chemical or nuclear weapons.”May 10, 2022
