美国总统对乌克兰的访问对俄罗斯领导人来说是一个沉重的打击。

作者: 艾略特·A·科恩 (Eliot A. Cohen)

美国东部时间 2023 年 2 月 20 日上午 10:29。

远程导弹很重要。 超精确炮弹、地对空导弹和冬季气象装备也是如此; 在英国乡村或泥泞的 Grafenwöhr 演习场进行的训练; 以及从太空中的眼睛和在战区外盘旋飞机上提供的情报。

但乔·拜登总统对基辅的访问与其中任何一项都一样重要。

其他政府首脑在拜登之前,赢得了应得的荣誉。 但当美国总统——实际上是自由世界的领袖——出现时,情况就完全不同了。 他的话很重要。 他承诺“我们将坚定不移地致力于乌克兰的民主、主权和领土完整。” 更重要的是,称美国将“在需要的时候”与乌克兰站在一起。

形象很重要:柏林墙前的肯尼迪或里根,抽着雪茄和圆顶礼帽的丘吉尔,而今,身着绿衣的泽伦斯基大声地说:“我需要弹药,而不是搭便车。” 仅仅通过危险的基辅之行,拜登就采取了一项至关重要的战略举措。

虽然总统显然打算增强乌克兰的信心,以及矛盾的欧洲人和新孤立主义美国人的承诺,但正如他对西方力量的评论所表明的那样,他真正的听众在别处。 俄罗斯散播了一系列关于在乌克兰取得胜利的理论——基辅的领导人会逃跑,乌克兰人民不会战斗,它的军队会被突然的闪电战或猛烈的攻击击垮。 它已沦为最后的希望:弗拉基米尔·普京的意志比乔·拜登的意志更强大。 拜登只是用行动和言语说,“哦,不,不是。”

但拜登的到访是对俄罗斯领导人的一击。 俄罗斯人收到了这次旅行的消息,我们被告知——可能是明示或暗示的威胁,如果他们试图干涉它,他们将得到暴力和压倒性的回应。 对于像普京这样痴迷于力量的领导人来说,这是一个打击。 他自己的人会悄悄或公开地问:“为什么我们不能阻止这一切?” 未明说的答案必须是,“因为我们害怕。”

一位戴着标志性飞行员太阳镜走在阳光明媚的基辅市中心的美国总统与好斗而雄辩的乌克兰总统以及一位尚未访问战区的俄罗斯总统之间的视觉对比也很引人注目。 更不用说与其他人打成一片、握手、拥抱和拍背的美国总统与与下属保持身体距离的俄罗斯总统之间的区别。 克里姆林宫的好战言论不会改变这些视觉图像,这些图像将在俄罗斯和世界各地看到。

这不是噱头,而是政治家的行为。 拜登的访问正值许多事情悬而未决之际。 按照美国政府的说法,中国人已经开始叫嚣要武装俄罗斯,这将是这场战争的一个非常大的变化。 包括亚洲民主国家在内的西方盟友已经开始动员他们的军事工业。 俄罗斯的攻势本应在入侵周年纪念日期间取得巨大收益,但结果却让顿巴斯铺满了数千名士兵的尸体,他们太晚才知道,正如一位第一次世界大战的法国将军所说的那样,“火灾致死”。 与此同时,乌克兰正在建立自己的反攻力量。

俄乌战争不仅是一场人道主义灾难,是危害人类罪的骇人听闻的集合,是对庄严协议和国际法的严重违反。 它也是一个分水岭,国际体系的未来将在很大程度上决定于此。 如果独裁者如愿以偿,它可能会导致一个非常黑暗的时代,与 1930 年代和 40 年代的黑暗无异。 但如果自由民主国家团结起来,展现出他们之前表现出的决心、进取心和军事能力,这种结果仍然可以避免。

为此,没有什么比美国的领导地位、恢复过去几十年被浪费或分散的声望和影响力更重要的了。 我们离这场战争的结束还差得很远,需要做很多有形的事情才能使冲突接近尾声。 言语和手势是关键的,但只有在伴随着行动的情况下。 但就目前而言,通过迈出大胆的一步,拜登总统已经让乌克兰、欧洲和法律下的自由事业的未来更加光明。

    Three people have lived in the deserted cathedral in the past two years, with each occupant — an electrician, a sound engineer and a journalist — paying a monthly fee to live in the priest’s quarters.

    The cathedral is managed by Live-in Guardians, a company finding occupants for disused properties, including schools, libraries and pubs, across Britain. The residents — so-called property guardians — pay a fixed monthly “license fee,” which is usually much lower than the typical rent in the same area.

    Applications to become guardians are going “through the roof,” with more people in their late thirties and forties signing on than in the past, said Arthur Duke, the founder and managing director of Live-in Guardians.

  3. WASHINGTON — “Liberation Day” just gave way to Capitulation Day.

    President Donald Trump pulled back Wednesday on a series of harsh tariffs targeting friends and foes alike in an audacious bid to remake the global economic order.

    Trump’s early afternoon announcement followed a harrowing week in which Republican lawmakers and confidants privately warned him that the tariffs could wreck the economy. His own aides had quietly raised alarms about the financial markets before he suspended a tariff regime that he had unveiled with a flourish just one week earlier in a Rose Garden ceremony.

    The stock market rose immediately after the about-face, ending days of losses that have forced older Americans who’ve been sinking their savings into 401(k)s to rethink their retirement plans.

    Ahead of Trump’s announcement, some of his advisers had been in a near panic about the bond markets, according to a senior administration official. Interest rates on 10-year Treasury bonds had been rising, contrary to what normally happens when stock prices fall and investors seek safety in treasuries. The unusual dynamic meant that at the same time the tariffs could push up prices, people would be paying more to buy homes or pay off credit card debt because of higher interest rates. Businesses looking to expand would pay more for new loans.

    Two of Trump’s most senior advisers, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, presented a united front Wednesday, urging him to suspend the tariffs in light of the bond market, the administration official said.

    In a social media post, Trump announced a 90-day pause that he said he’ll use to negotiate deals with dozens of countries that have expressed openness to revising trade terms that he contends exploit American businesses and workers. One exception is China. Trump upped the tariff on the country’s biggest geopolitical rival to 125%, part of a tit-for-tat escalation in an evolving trade war.

    Trump reversed course one week after he appeared in the Rose Garden and unveiled his plan to bring jobs back to the United States. Displaying a chart showing the new, elevated tariffs that countries would face, Trump proclaimed, “My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.”

  4. President Donald Trump wants to bring back American manufacturing in ways that would reshape the United States economy to look more like China’s. The campaign, which has led to a rapidly escalating trade war with China, has given ample social media fodder to Chinese and American observers alike.
    [url=https://bs2besta2.at]bsme.at[/url]
    Announcing a series of sweeping tariffs in a move dubbed “Liberation Day,” Trump said last week that it will lead factories to move production back to American shores, boosting the U.S. economy after “foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.”
    [url=https://lbsme.at]bsme[/url]
    In a Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump announced that he is raising tariffs on goods imported from China to 125%, up from the 104% that took effect the same day, due to “the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets.” Higher targeted tariffs on other countries have been paused for 90 days, although the 10% baseline tariff will remain in place for all countries.

    Meme-makers and Chinese government officials have in recent days begun pointing out the irony of Trump’s tariff-driven manufacturing pivot through AI-generated satire and political cartoons that have percolated online, with many American users boosting the jokes.

  5. Elon Musk stood next to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Friday, but the physical proximity belied a growing philosophical divide between two of the world’s most powerful men, resulting in the tech mogul’s abrupt announcement that he is departing Washington — without having achieved his goal of decimating the federal government.
    [url=https://kra—33–cc.ru]РєСЂР°33[/url]
    Trump took a more charitable view of Musk’s tenure during a sprawling news conference in which he also declined to rule out pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is on trial on charges of sex trafficking and other alleged crimes; said he dislikes “the concept” of former first lady Jill Biden being forced to testify before Congress about her husband’s mental fitness; and predicted again that Iran is on the cusp of making a deal that would suspend its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
    [url=https://kra-33-cc.com]kra33[/url]
    In a battle of plutocrats against populists, Bannon, a longtime advocate for reducing the size and scope of government, found Musk’s methods and policy preferences to be sharply at odds with those of the MAGA movement. So, ultimately, did Musk, who broke with Trump repeatedly on agenda items as narrow as limiting visas for foreign workers and as broad as Trump’s signature “big beautiful” budget bill — which Musk belittled for threatening to add trillions of dollars to the national debt.

    “I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk said in an interview with CBS’ “Sunday Morning,” which will air this weekend.
    [url=https://kra—33–cc.ru]kra33 at[/url]
    “I love the gold on the ceiling,” he said.

    Musk has argued that inertia throttled his efforts to reduce government spending — a conclusion that raises questions about whether he was naive about the challenge of the mission he undertook.

    “The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realized,” he told The Washington Post this week. “I thought there were problems, but it sure is an uphill battle trying to improve things in D.C., to say the least.”

    On Friday, he drew an implicit parallel between American government and the Nazi regime that committed a genocide, invoking the “banality of evil” that Hannah Arendt used to describe the atrocities in Germany.

  6. NASA scientists are in a state of anxious limbo after the Trump administration proposed a budget that would eliminate one of the United States’ top climate labs – the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, or GISS – as a standalone entity.
    [url=https://kra34c.cc]kra35cc[/url]
    In its place, it would move some of the lab’s functions into a broader environmental modeling effort across the agency.

    Career specialists are now working remotely, awaiting details and even more unsure about their future at the lab after they were kicked out of their longtime home in New York City last week. Closing the lab for good could jeopardize its value and the country’s leadership role in global climate science, sources say.

    “It’s an absolute sh*tshow,” one GISS scientist said under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. “Morale at GISS has never been lower, and it feels for all of us that we are being abandoned by NASA leadership.”

    “We are supposedly going to be integrated into this new virtual NASA modeling institute, but (we have) no idea what that will actually look like,” they said.

    NASA is defending its budget proposal, with a nod toward the lab’s future.
    “NASA’s GISS has a significant place in the history of space science and its work is critical for the Earth Science Division, particularly as the division looks to the future of its modeling work and capabilities,” NASA spokesperson Cheryl Warner said in a statement.

    “Fundamental contributions in research and applications from GISS directly impact daily life by showing the Earth system connections that impact the air we breathe, our health, the food we grow, and the cities we live in,” Warner said.

    GISS has a storied history in climate science on the global scale.

    James Hansen, a former director, first called national attention to human-caused global warming at a Senate hearing during the hot summer of 1988. The lab, founded in 1961, is still known worldwide for its computer modeling of the planet that enable scientists to make projections for how climate change may affect global temperatures, precipitation, extreme weather events and other variables.
