. >> i'm joined now by fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria gps." fareed, good to see you. was there a green light to pull out of syria? >> there's no question it was a green light in the sense that erdogan called asking for the green light. there is no circumstance they would have invaded if there were u.s. troops or turkey had to fire on u.s. troops. that is what was holding them back for five years. there is no doubt that the united states exceeded to this. president trump later tried to deny that he exceeded to it, but he absolutely exceeded to it. and, you know, in a sense it is part of his plan. just get the hell out and let the locals kill each other. >> is it irreversible? >> it's very hard, i think, to now get back to unravel this. this is one of the great tragedies of what trump has done, because he's given the turks this kind of safe haven, this sphere of influence in syria that they have long wanted. they've wanted it because it allows them to push the refugees that they have in turkey and it allows them to keep the kurds at a distance. it also benefits assad in

i'm fareed zakaria. it is happening now.n impeachment inquiry into president donald trump. we don't yet know how this will end, but we do know we need history more than we ever have. it's the only guide to how and why and even if this president should be impeached. remember, the founding fathers who wrote the impeachment clause had just fought a revolution to escape the tyranny of kings. that goal was to keep the president from becoming a elected monarch, unrestrained in his exercise of power. together they carefully weighed what the grounds for impeachment should be. they agreed on treason and bribery. also proposed was maladministration. james madison objected. he said that was too vague. impeachment was a remedy for a bad president. but what if a president, madison asked, were to cook up a scheme of speculation? in other words, what if the president were a crook? so george mason of virginia came up with a broader phrase -- high crimes and misdemeanors,s that article 2 section 4 of the american constitution. there was a mo

i want to bring in fareed zakaria. the situation on the ground is what it is. we will see what happens there with the turkish troops and whether the u.s., the former u.s. allies, the kurds what happens to them. but my bigger question is to what effect will this all have? and i want to read you something that mitt romney said yesterday on the senate floor. he asked, are we so weak and inept diplomatically that turkey forced the hand of the united states of america, he said turkey. what's the answer to that question? does this show we are now so weak and inept diplomatically? >> it shows that we are really clueless. this was done without any thought, without any strategy, without any follow-up. but i just want to start, john, with what is -- what has happened on the ground. 250,000, a quarter million people have been displaced. hundreds o if not thousands of people have died. dozens of people have been tortured. credible reports of war crimes. isis prisoners have escaped. we have seeded our positions to countries like russia and to the assad government. we are bo
