Jane Koston: 我主持了本期节目,讨论了特朗普与泽连斯基在椭圆办公室的会面,以及这场会面对乌克兰战争的影响。这场会面以灾难告终,泽连斯基受到了特朗普和副总统的公开斥责。美国政府的许多行为对乌克兰、美国和欧洲都不利,但对俄罗斯有利。欧洲领导人正在努力弥合美国在乌克兰问题上的缺失,但他们仍然需要美国的支持。 Michael McFaul: 克里姆林宫对特朗普的行为感到非常满意,普京的发言人Dmitry Peskov公开表示对特朗普政府的政策感到满意。欧洲领导人对特朗普政府的行为感到震惊和恐惧,他们认为特朗普政府不再站在民主世界一边,而是与普京和独裁者为伍。特朗普政府并不真正关心乌克兰的和平,而是想重启与普京的关系。欧洲可能会取代美国在乌克兰问题上的领导地位,乌克兰需要的是有安全保障的停火协议,而不是空头承诺。欧洲将尝试填补美国撤出后的空缺,但美国人民也应发挥作用。特朗普的强硬外交策略只会让美国变得更孤立,特朗普与普京的亲近关系对美国国家安全构成威胁。 Michael McFaul: 普京的目标是削弱美国,破坏北约,最终让美国成为一个中等强国,从而提升俄罗斯的地位。他将特朗普视为实现这一目标的工具。

The meeting between President Trump and President Zelensky ended in chaos rather than a treaty, with Ukraine left diplomatically strained and Russia seemingly bolstered.
  • The meeting was supposed to focus on a treaty involving Ukraine's rare earth minerals.
  • Instead, it deteriorated into accusations and tensions, with Vice President Vance criticizing Zelensky.
  • The meeting ended without any agreement, leaving Ukraine diplomatically isolated and Russia seemingly strengthened.

Shownotes Transcript

European leaders met for an emergency summit in London Sunday to shore up support for Ukraine and wrest control of ceasefire talks with Russia. The rushed gathering came on the heels of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s disastrous Oval Office meeting Friday, where he was publicly berated by President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance for being ‘disrespectful’ and ‘gambling with World War III.' While the Oval Office blowup shocked the Western world, Kremlin officials praised Trump for his 'commonsense' approach to ending the war. Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Russia under President Obama, talks about how Trump’s actions benefit Russia and leave the U.S. weaker.

And in headlines: Israel halted all aid to Gaza as the first phase of the ceasefire expires, Elon Musk and the DOGE bros sent federal workers another email asking them to justify their jobs, and Trump signed an executive order making English the official language of the U.S.
