*"He's escalating, he's more prepared than ever to consider doing some unreasonable damage and terrible atrocities in Ukraine, plus he's looking for an opportunity to strike out at NATO," said Gen. Wesley Clark, CNN military analyst.

The U.S. is sending two patriot missile batteries to Poland to be used as "defensive deployment" aimed at countering potential threats to the U.S. and it's allies.

"The pressure has raised a little bit and that Putin is feeling it," said Gen. Clark. "He can't get back at the United States for the increasingly-tough sanctions so he's going to use what he has, which is the threat of weapons of mass destruction."'
