Nina Khrushcheva: 我认为普京总统正在等待西方世界的瓦解，他非常谨慎地等待局势的恶化。他能够长期规划，等待时机。特朗普政府与泽连斯基总统的冲突，以及随后美国暂停对乌克兰的军事援助，正中普京下怀，这正印证了我的观点。克里姆林宫对当前局势感到非常高兴，因为西方世界正在自行瓦解，而他们几乎没有费吹灰之力。 Keir Starmer: 英国将尽全力支持乌克兰，确保乌克兰在未来的谈判中拥有尽可能强大的地位。我们将加倍努力提供支持，因为我们必须让乌克兰在谈判桌上拥有尽可能强大的地位。 Richard Haass: 特朗普政府试图让美国盟友承担更多全球安全责任，但这代价巨大，并且可能导致盟友不安，甚至受到对手攻击。欧洲国家缺乏足够的国防工业和库存来独自结束与俄罗斯的战争。如果美国撤回对乌克兰的支持，普京将缺乏妥协的动力，这可能会导致乌克兰局势恶化，不利于和平谈判。要实现和平，最好的办法是让普京相信，美国和西方会支持乌克兰，持续的战争不会给他带来任何好处。然而，特朗普政府的做法适得其反。乌克兰的成功不应仅仅定义为军事上收复所有失地，而是应该包括停火，保留大部分领土，并在未来与俄罗斯谈判。战后秩序岌岌可危，美国正在自行拆除其建立并维持的秩序。美国正在破坏其与盟友的关系，而没有获得任何可比的回报。如果美国放弃其在全球事务中的领导地位，世界可能会陷入更大的混乱、冲突和不稳定。在特朗普政府领导下，美国的盟友们不再感到自己处于优势地位，他们正在寻求替代方案。特朗普的第二任期与第一任期相比，在外交政策上更加激进和具有破坏性。特朗普政府没有提出任何可以替代现有世界秩序的方案。

Shownotes Transcript

After the Trump-Zelenskyy blow-up on Friday, European leaders held emergency talks in London to put together a roadmap to peace. Then, on Tuesday, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced a proposal called ReArm Europe. The roughly $840 billion plan would quickly build up defense budgets in Europe. Meanwhile, the U.S. seems to continue to align itself with Russia. President Trump is upending the U.S.-led order that has dominated global politics for the better part of a century. What does that mean for Ukraine – and for America? For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org).
