CNN也发长文说乌克兰不行了。
虽然削弱了俄罗斯经济但是普京依然稳固,而且削弱了又如何?“In the long run we are all dead.”
The long-term prognosis for the Russian economy is grim – and that may be Putin’s most fundamental legacy.
But as the economist John Maynard Keynes once said, “In the long run we are all dead.” In the short-term Putin appears unassailable. Reelection in March is a formality (the Kremlin has already acknowledged as much.)
BBC,CNN两个最左的媒体都吹风了,还看不清形式?
“Ukraine and the West are on an unsustainable trajectory, one characterized by a glaring mismatch between ends and the available means,” write Richard Haass and Charles Kupchan in Foreign Affairs.
Ukraine’s goal of recovering all its territory is “out of reach,” they say bluntly. “Where we are looks at best like a costly deadlock.”
最好的结果就是僵局。
The arrival of F-16s fighter jets in the spring will undoubtedly help the Ukrainian air force challenge Russian combat planes and support their own ground forces, but they will be no silver bullet. Basic training is one thing; flying into the teeth of Russian air defenses another.
The same would apply even if the US agreed to supply longer-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine. (UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles have helped target the Russian rear.)
F16和长途导弹也不能改变
