Speaking on CNN's Piers Morgan Live, Carnegie's Matthew Rojansky discussed how the Tsarnaev brothers exemplify the limited communication between Moscow and Washington. "The question is, what did the Russians convey to the United States?" Rojansky asked. "Were we even in a place, politically, where we were going to take warnings from Russia seriously? Or were we just going to say, 'oh this is your problem, it's not our problem'? And were they going to do the same thing? I think that's a big problem. In 2012, the relationship was a mess."
