Saul David: 特朗普政府正在推动一项乌克兰和平协议,但乌克兰和欧洲可能不会对此感到满意。这可能预示着美国将撤退到自己的半球,让欧洲和北约自生自灭。欧洲似乎在很大程度上顺应了特朗普的步调,不希望制造麻烦。泽连斯基总统面临困境,他不能公开反对在没有乌克兰参与的情况下进行谈判,以免美国切断军事支持。美国与欧洲盟友分享了结束乌克兰战争的谈判策略,这些策略带来了一些希望,但目前的情况并不乐观,引发了人们对美国真正感兴趣的更大图景的质疑,显然美国并不关心欧洲。 Patrick Bishop: 欧洲对J.D. Vance的言论感到愤怒,他认为欧洲的问题在于自身价值观的丧失,而非俄罗斯。欧洲在乌克兰问题上基本上顺从了美国的意愿。特朗普政府发出了明确的警告,欧洲必须与美国保持一致。欧洲无力保障自身安全,因此在安全问题上的回旋余地非常有限。特朗普的策略是重塑世界秩序,让美国专注于自己的半球,将欧洲安全留给欧洲人自己负责。马可·卢比奥表示,世界不应该只有一个单极力量,而应该回到多极世界。“多极世界”这个词是中国和俄罗斯等美国敌对势力常用的,目的是削弱美国的霸权。特朗普团队似乎同意与美国敌对势力的观点,这令人震惊。

The deal's mechanics, involving a senior US delegation and Russia in Saudi Arabia, further highlight the sidelining of Ukraine and Europe.
  • Ukraine and European allies excluded from initial peace talks
  • Talks to take place in Saudi Arabia between US and Russia
  • Concerns raised about US withdrawal and new world order

Shownotes Transcript

The Trump administration is pushing for a peace deal in Ukraine, but with Ukraine and Europe sidelined. Is this a path to peace, or a US retreat and a new world order? Saul David and Patrick Bishop analyse the latest developments.

They also speak to American journalist Joe Lindsley, reporting live from Kyiv, for his reaction and for his insights into the Trump administration.
