This is a BREAKING NEWS edition of We Gotta Talk where we are diving into the current civilian and political turmoil in Ukraine.

Rollins College political science professor Joan Davison sits down with me to talk about why the heck we aren't doing more in Ukraine, what she thinks could happen next, and why Americans are so conflicted when it comes to deciding whether or not we should "do more" to help Ukraine.

Here is what we cover:

* A 101 breakdown of what’s really happening in Ukraine and Russia

* If sanctions are a strong enough response from the U.S.

* Chances this moves beyond Ukraine

* What would it take for U.S. to get involved militarily

* A history of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine

* If China has a stake in this conflict

* Is the era of “America as the world’s police” over?
