James Clapper: “If you give me a choice between a state-sponsored terrorism with a nuclear capability or a state-sponsored terrorism…”

I think it has more to do with the psychology of Putin, and Russia. And he needs to assure his own people, Parliamentarians, he was talking to, and for that matter, himself, that Russia is still a great power.

Well, no, it doesn't. And the fact that none of this makes sense, but most acutely, I think, nuclear-related information.

I think right now, they're assessing the administration -- that's the National Security Council specifically, is assessing the impacts of this first round of strikes.

I think the reason they were taken off the list was to provide an inducement or motivation for them to agree to some sort of ceasefire.
