Evacuate americans if russia invades ukraine. joining me now, fareed zakaria. he is the host of "fareed zakaria gps." thanks for joining, fareed. good evening to you. in just the last 24 hours we're told russia added another 2,000 combat forces near ukraine's border. that's on top of the 100,000 troops already there. all this movement in the direction of conflict, can it it be stopped at this point? >> it's a great question, don, because what russia has now done is it has really surrounded ukraine on three sides. most significant is not just the fact that they're moving troops but they've move...
