William R. Richardson: “I think the goals have to be clear -- deescalate the conflict. Get Ukraine and Russia to talk to each other.”

We absolutely need them to keep enforcing sanctions or the pressure on North Korea will deteriorate.

But the sanctions that have, I think, bitten--that bite the most have been the coal, the uranium, the oil sanctions that are imposed now by the U.N.

I would not trade an end to the war treaty or unless there is a denuclearization of sizable numbers of dismantling of weapons and WMD and missiles.

But, yet, China and Russia are cheating and so what we wanted to do is go after the bigger banks.
