Description:
Alexander Mercouris tells Glenn Diesen that Europe is under economic stress, with falling living standards in France and the same pressure in Britain and Germany, and that people are in the streets because they feel the political system no longer responds.
He says both sides have agreed to sit down, but Ukraine, the Europeans, and Marco Rubio treat the talks as being about Donbass and territory, while Russia says the subject is Europe's security architecture.
