Major General Sir Richard Shirreff: 特朗普暂停对乌克兰军事援助的举动并非意料之外,这与他近期与普京的会面以及一系列举动相呼应。这一事件的核心在于,它暴露了美国作为盟友的不可靠性,打破了维持跨大西洋地区和平与稳定的世界秩序,这将对全球安全格局产生深远的影响。 就乌克兰的短期未来而言,由于美国援助的暂停,乌克兰将面临巨大的挑战。坦克、战车、弹药、远程精确制导导弹以及爱国者防空导弹等关键物资的供应将面临中断,乌克兰军队将不得不寻找替代方案。然而,俄罗斯军队并非不可战胜,乌克兰军队凭借其在战场上的韧性、创新能力以及在没有海军的情况下有效地削弱了黑海舰队,展现了其强大的实力。乌克兰能否坚持下去,关键在于欧洲和加拿大能否迅速填补美国援助的缺口,提供必要的支持。 长期来看,虽然美国与欧洲的关系并非不可修复,但目前必须假设美国不可靠,欧洲需要承担起自身防卫的责任。欧洲长期以来依赖美国的保护,忽视了自身国防力量的建设,如今必须改变这种状况。欧洲需要进行国防工业的整合,并做出必要的牺牲,才能在没有美国支持的情况下保障自身安全。这一转变将是一个漫长而艰巨的过程,但对欧洲而言至关重要。 普京无疑会利用这一机会,试图在乌克兰战场上取得进展。但他应该意识到,欧洲和加拿大将会努力弥补美国援助的缺口。至于乌克兰与美国重建关系的可能性,虽然不能完全排除,但从现实角度来看,希望渺茫。 短期内,乌克兰不太可能实现和平,因为普京的要求意味着乌克兰的投降,并且他很可能会进一步侵略其他国家。
