Is There a Lot of Room for Putin to Back Down?

David Rothkopf: I hear two sets of arguments when we find ourselves in confrontations like the one with Russia. One is that we're somehow responsible for the confrontation because we push too hard or we're threatening, he says. The other is that we need to avoid the confrontation because our adversaries are too strong,. He asks if Putin's understanding of any kind of intentions by the West is as good as it could be and there's no process yet that guarantees that for Putin.
