| 0:00.0 | This is John Batcheter, conversation with Colonel Jeff McCausen, my colleague, CBS News, about what |
| 0:06.4 | happens after Putin is successful in conquering Novorossia if it happens. We look very carefully into the future asking about |
| 0:15.6 | NATO asking about the rump Ukraine asking about the rest of Europe and the risk. |
| 0:20.0 | What if? Is there a reason to believe Mr. Putin would stop? |
| 0:25.0 | Didn't stop after Chechnya, didn't stop after Georgia, didn't stop after Crimea, |
