Kyle Peterson: 我观察到特朗普总统对普京的措辞变得更加强硬,他甚至形容普京已经‘疯了’,并且正在玩火。这与他过去对普京较为友好的态度形成了鲜明对比。我认为这可能与乌克兰遭受的无端袭击有关,特朗普似乎对无辜平民的伤亡感到不满。此外,参议院正在讨论一项对俄罗斯实施更严厉制裁的法案,这可能也影响了特朗普的立场。 Joe Sternberg: 我认为特朗普态度的转变可能源于他意识到自己无法像过去认为的那样,轻易与普京达成协议。他可能开始明白,普京并非一个可以信任的谈判伙伴。此外,特朗普政府内部对于如何处理乌克兰局势存在分歧,一部分人担心重蹈阿富汗的覆辙,希望避免长期冲突,而另一部分人则认为应该继续向乌克兰提供支持,以遏制俄罗斯的侵略。我认为,对俄罗斯实施更严厉的制裁是一个可行的中间方案,既可以向普京施加压力,又可以避免直接军事干预。 Jillian Melcher: 我认为普京之所以敢于采取如此强硬的行动,部分原因是受到了特朗普政府某些政策的影响。如果美国不继续向乌克兰提供支持,普京可能会认为他可以等待并最终控制乌克兰。因此,美国是否继续向乌克兰提供武器至关重要。同时,欧洲国家也在努力填补美国可能撤出的空缺,例如德国正在考虑向乌克兰提供远程导弹。我认为,公众舆论也可能对美国政府的决策产生影响。如果乌克兰局势持续恶化,出现更多平民伤亡,美国公众可能会支持政府采取更强硬的立场。 Lindsey Graham: 我认为现在是时候增加普京发动这场战争的代价了。我们必须对俄罗斯实施严厉的制裁,以迫使普京回到谈判桌前。虽然这可能会给俄罗斯人民带来痛苦,但为了结束这场战争,这是必要的。
