EU's stands are solid on both issues: the war and Trump's presidency.
Russians will only stay suffering under Putin and will not win the war.
All diplomatic efforts going on now is to ask America choose side before it goes hopelessly wrong in the coming 4 years.
@清如许 if you can read you should know I meant all the EU is doing on the diplomatic level is to try to get U.S. support.
But their stand on the war is solid: Russian can't win! For their own safety. Even without U.S.
Morons have fcking misunderstood where U.S. power must be situated on: the dominance of USD, the position of the only top leader of the western world. Trump has wronged many things!
Just look at the fcking stock market and where USD is going.
Mark my word: GOPs are extremely selfish and shallow-minded. But this hard time is what U.S. must undergo. U.S. has had its golden time for a century, but nothing is free.
@石拓 Mind your language. Dirty words can't do any help.
If EU wants to keep fighting against Russia and try to win over it, fine, just do it. But don't expect US will support that unconditioanlly. US simply wants to cease fire and end the war.
If USA lost its rivalry with China, then all your mentioned interests like the dominance of USD will lose. Trump might have done something wrong, but his main goal is correct. US must focus her target on China, and defeat China. And this point is commonly agreed upon within both parties. Only China poses a big challenge to the United States, and Russia is not qualified, but its very strong military power cannot be used to aid China, or it'll be a disaster to US.
BTW, from the geopolitical perspective, Ukraine is not US's core interests, but Taiwan is. That's one of the key reasons why US will withdraw her main military forces from Europe and apply them to Asia-Pacific, and Taiwan's safety is extremely critical.
@清如许 fcking morons just have very short and narrow visions. What Trump did is exactly what authoritarians want and exactly the opposite to what you naively picture in your power fetish brain. Philippine has recently canceled military contracts with U.S. and signaled their hospitality with China just because the U.S. has become unreliable, unpredictable and untrustable under Trump. More south Eastern nations will follow, even TAIWAN !
▲俄乌战争开打迄今第4年,前线长达1000公里,如今美国军事援助喊停,将对乌克兰产生深远影响。
美国不只全面暂停对乌克兰的军事援助,也暂停与乌克兰分享情报。乌克兰一名高阶情报官员透露,美国援助的弹药武器可能在2至3个月内用完,也就是在今年夏天之前耗尽,「这之后战况将变得非常困难,不至于完全崩盘,但我们将会被迫更快地从部分地区撤出」。
金融时报报导,俄乌战争开打迄今第4年,乌军还在抵御俄军的攻击,战场前线长达1000公里,如今美国军事援助喊停,将对乌克兰产生深远影响。美国国务院数据显示,过去3年,美国军事援助总额达659亿美元;尽管国会拨款近1750亿美元,但只有部分直接拨给乌克兰,部分经费花在其他地方,例如在美国训练乌军等。
乌克兰正在使用的5套美制爱国者(Patriot)系统一旦发生拦截弹短缺的状况,防空能力将会遭受重创。
乌克兰总理什米哈尔(Denys Shmyhal)已承认,爱国者是当前唯一可击落俄罗斯飞弹的系统。芬兰智库「黑鸟集团」观察俄乌战争的分析师卡斯特黑勒米(Emil Kastehelmi)坦言,假如乌军被迫停止使用最先进的防空系统,「乌克兰最终得要做出艰难的优先次序,是要保卫机场?或是发电机?或是制造武器的工厂?」
乌克兰现阶段使用大量美国武器与车辆,这些都需要持续维护与稳定备件供应。美国提供的海马士(HIMARS)多管火箭发射器可让乌克兰摧毁俄罗斯控制土地上的高价值目标,例如指挥所与后勤中心,也能让乌军使用远程Atacams飞弹,打击300公里外的俄军目标。
卡内基国际和平基金会高级研究员考夫曼(Michael Kofman)透露,「我们将会在数月内开始看到重大影响,这主要会与乌克兰进行精确打击的能力有关」。
另据华尔街日报,美方认定,比起暂停武器交付,从情报供应这方面下手的效果较佳。「经济学人」记者卡洛尔(Oliver Carroll)说,美国不只切断给海马士长程火箭瞄准需要的卫星数据,乌克兰空袭警报系统所需的卫星数据也同样喊停,让乌军收不到远程打击需要的即时资讯。
