Tim Miller: 我想了解欧洲国家对于特朗普可能再次上台以及美国可能不再参与国际事务的看法。他们是在为没有美国参与的情况做准备,还是试图通过某种方式与特朗普合作? Susan Glasser: 作为一名美国代表,我参加了在爱沙尼亚的闭幕式小组讨论。东欧国家的安全依赖于乌克兰战争的结果,以及特朗普是否会彻底摧毁北约。许多人认为西方时代已经结束,美国可能无法恢复,现在更多的是后美国时代的对话。他们内心深处仍然无法完全接受美国衰落,因为在对抗俄罗斯的问题上,没有明显且容易的解决方案可以不依赖美国。他们仍然抱有希望,但这种希望很快就会破灭。欧洲人声称他们比特朗普第一个任期时更务实,但实际上他们仍然有些否认,无法完全相信美国会放弃。许多欧洲高级官员认为,最好避免成为特朗普关注的焦点,因为这通常不是好事。如果特朗普放弃在俄罗斯和乌克兰之间达成和平协议的想法,他们可能会感到 राहत,因为他们担心协议的条款。

Shownotes Transcript

On deportations and on foreign policy, the Trump administration is swapping out American values and violating everything the U.S. has stood for in exchange for kleptocracy and transactionalism with the world's worst tyrants. But at the same time, Trump can't even seem to grasp that Putin has been waging war for decades to accomplish his goals and is not interested in cutting a deal to end the bloodshed in Ukraine. Plus, the very dim appointees running our federal agencies, Elon and Marco are now trying to deny they cut food aid, and the unwelcome honorific of being a Trump historian.
