Topics
Donald Trump: 我曾与普京讨论伊朗问题,他主动提出调解。但我告诉他,先解决俄罗斯自身的问题。我认为中国可以从伊朗购买石油,帮助他们重建,我甚至可以自己卖石油给中国,但我不想这样做。 Ben Meiselas: 特朗普政府的行动实际上帮助了俄罗斯、中国和伊朗。特朗普声称对伊朗的袭击是彻底的摧毁,但情报显示并非如此。他鼓励中国购买伊朗石油,这实际上是在帮助伊朗。此外,特朗普还为了内塔尼亚胡的个人利益,不惜讹诈以色列,这显示出他的行为模式是服务于特定利益,而非美国的整体利益。我认为所有这些都对普京有利。 Chris Meagher: 国防部的资源是有限的,在中东投入更多资源,意味着在其他地区,如乌克兰和印太地区的投入减少。特朗普政府一再对普京在乌克兰问题上让步,导致我们在印太地区的竞争力下降。特朗普政府的混乱和不确定性,让我们的盟友难以信任。特朗普经常撒谎和歪曲事实,导致包括军队在内的各方无法信任他。如果美国不发挥领导作用,其他国家就会趁虚而入。 Lindsey Graham: 我正在推动一项制裁与俄罗斯有资金往来的国家的法案,并与特朗普讨论过。特朗普告诉我,是时候推动我的法案了。我的法案将允许总统对中国和印度等国征收关税,以阻止他们支持普京的战争机器。虽然法案有豁免条款,最终决定权在特朗普手中,但我认为这是对乌克兰的支持。

Shownotes Transcript

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on how Trump boasted that Putin offered to mediate the issues in Iran before Trump ordered strikes against Iran. Trump has claimed he rejected the idea of mediation. Meiselas explains why the outcome of Trump’s intervention in Iran seems to have helped Russia and China and Iran the most and Meiselas interviews former DOD official Chris Meagher on his assessment on the objectives in Iran and the consequences. So did a mediation or negotiation with Putin actually take place? You decide.
