This photo captures the moment that ICE became murderous, unlawful killers who answers to no one but Donald Trump. Don't let the importance of this image fade from your conscience! A line was drawn that cannot be erased. Silence is acceptance. I will not be silent! Will you? 🤔

美国总统竟然被问到他是否会接受选举结果这一事实,就足以显示美国在他的领导下已经堕落到何种地步。

最近申请越南签证,英文说电子签证就行,但中文的却说必须换纸质签证。好奇地查了下,原来中国新护照上印有包括未定边界的地图,越南不承认。为了避免盖章造成变相承认,针对中国护照专门发明了纸质签证。继续深挖了一下,菲律宾的对策是在签证章上附加菲律宾地图,印度则在签证页加上印度官方地图。

马斯克最早是支持乌克兰反对普京侵略的,这是大家都知道的事实;这应该是出于一个正常人应该具备的正义感。 但后来立场的转变应该又是被人抓住了致命的把柄,就像他赞同中共侵略台湾一样可以理解。 但川普是不同的,无数证据证明它原本就是恶人;无论有没有谁的胁迫它都照样干尽坏事。

@Elonmusk Elon,作为乌克兰人,我想告诉你一些事情。 多年来,乌克兰的许多人钦佩和尊重你。 我是他们中的一个。 我个人认为你是一个技术天才,一个有远见的人,一个正在建设未来的人,而其他人仍然活在过去。 这正是你对乌克兰日益增长的敌意让我如此难以理解的原因。 乌克兰不是一个完美的国家。 我们有腐败、政治失败和许多问题。 没有人否认这一点。 但告诉我,哪个国家是完美的? 乌克兰也是一个由才华横溢的工程师、科学家、企业家、开发人员、艺术家和普通勤劳的人组成的国家。 我们构建世界级技术,在不可能的条件下进行创新,重视教育,并多次向世界展示勇气、韧性和人类尊严是什么样子的。 我们是一个自愿放弃世界第三大核武库以换取安全保证的国家。 我们是一个在2014年尊严革命期间站起来的国家,因为我们拒绝在专制主义和俄罗斯统治下生活。 我们想要自由、民主和选择自己未来的权利。 今天,我们正在为同样的自由而战。 每天,乌克兰平民都被俄罗斯的导弹、无人机和炸弹杀害。 孩子们失去了他们的父母。 父母埋葬他们的孩子。 整个城市都被摧毁了。 数百万人的生命被粉碎了。 这些人不是因为Zelenskyy而死去的。 他们不会因为乌克兰的腐败而死去。 他们正在死去,因为普京选择入侵另一个主权国家,并继续对其人民、城市、文化和身份发动战争。 是的,必须打击腐败。 是的,每一美元的国际援助都必须被考虑在账上。 乌克兰人自己比任何人都更应该得到透明度和正义。 但腐败并不能为入侵辩护。 政治上的失败并不能证明轰炸儿童是正当的。 对乌克兰的批评改变了谁带着入侵军队越过边境的人。 你似乎相信放弃顿巴斯和卢甘斯克可以带来和平。 但我们为什么要相信普京会止步此? 在承诺尊重乌克兰主权之后,他已经侵犯了乌克兰主权。 他在2014年夺取了克里米亚。 他助长了顿巴斯的战争。 2022年,他发动了一次全面入侵。 是什么让你认为另一个领土让步最终会让他满意? 历史向我们展示了,当民主国家相信他们可以通过用别人的土地奖励侵略者来确保持久和平时会发生什么。 在第二次世界大战之前的几年里,我们在欧洲见过这种情况。 建立在向独裁者投降的和平不一定是和平。 有时这只是对下一场战争的邀请。 埃隆,你是一个谈论人类未来、改善文明、将人类带到火星的人。 但是,如果我们接受强大的独裁者仅仅因为他们拥有更多的武器就可以消灭小国,那么我们正在建设什么样的未来呢? 乌克兰并没有要求世界假装我们是完美的。 我们要求世界认识到,我们拥有与美国人一样生存、自由和决定我们未来的权利。 还有一件事:乌克兰人从来不是你的敌人。 我们中的许多人钦佩你,相信你的愿景,并欣赏Starlink在这场战争最黑暗的日子里使之成为可能。 这就是为什么你的话比你意识到的更伤人。 你有巨大的影响力。 你的声音可以塑造数百万人对这场战争的理解。 我仍然想相信,梦想进步人类的人能够认识到仅仅为了生存而奋斗的人的人性。 站在历史的正确一边还不算太晚。 不是站在Zelenskyy这边。 不站在任何政治家的一边。 站在自由的一边。 在人类生活的一边。 站在一个国家生存权的一边。 这就是我们所要求的全部。 🇺🇦

@elonmusk Elon, I want to tell you something as a Ukrainian. For years, many people in Ukraine admired and respected you. I was one of them. I personally saw you as a technological genius, a visionary, someone who was building the future while others were still living in the past. And that is exactly why your growing hostility toward Ukraine is so difficult for me to understand. Ukraine is not a perfect country. We have corruption, political failures, and many problems. Nobody denies that. But tell me, which country is perfect? Ukraine is also a country of incredibly talented engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, developers, artists, and ordinary hardworking people. We build world-class technology, innovate under impossible conditions, value education, and have repeatedly shown the world what courage, resilience, and human dignity look like. We are a country that voluntarily gave up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances. We are a nation that stood up in 2014, during the Revolution of Dignity, because we refused to live under authoritarianism and Russian domination. We wanted freedom, democracy, and the right to choose our own future. And today, we are fighting for that same freedom. Every day, Ukrainian civilians are killed by Russian missiles, drones, and bombs. Children lose their parents. Parents bury their children. Entire cities are destroyed. Millions of lives have been shattered. These people are not dying because of Zelenskyy. They are not dying because of Ukrainian corruption. They are dying because Putin chose to invade another sovereign nation and continues to wage a war against its people, cities, culture, and identity. Yes, corruption must be fought. Yes, every dollar of international aid must be accounted for. Ukrainians themselves deserve transparency and justice more than anyone. But corruption does not justify invasion. Political failures do not justify bombing children. And no amount of criticism of Ukraine changes who crossed the border with an invading army. You seem to believe that giving up Donbas and Luhansk could bring peace. But why should we believe Putin would stop there? He already violated Ukraine's sovereignty after promising to respect it. He took Crimea in 2014. He fueled war in Donbas. And in 2022, he launched a full-scale invasion. What makes you think another territorial concession would finally satisfy him? History has shown us what happens when democracies believe they can secure lasting peace by rewarding an aggressor with someone else's land. We have seen this before, in Europe, in the years leading up to World War II. Peace built on surrender to a dictator is not necessarily peace. Sometimes it is simply an invitation to the next war. Elon, you are a man who talks about the future of humanity, about making civilization better, about taking humanity to Mars. But what kind of future are we building if we accept that powerful dictators can erase smaller nations simply because they have more weapons? Ukraine is not asking the world to pretend we are perfect. We are asking the world to recognize that we have the same right to exist, to be free, and to determine our future as Americans do. And one more thing: Ukrainians have never been your enemies. Many of us admired you, believed in your vision, and appreciated what Starlink made possible during the darkest days of this war. That is why your words hurt more than you might realize. You have enormous influence. Your voice can shape how millions of people understand this war. I still want to believe that the man who dreams of advancing humanity can recognize the humanity of people fighting simply to survive. It is not too late to stand on the right side of history. Not on Zelenskyy's side. Not on any politician's side. On the side of freedom. On the side of human life. On the side of a nation's right to exist. That is all we are asking for. 🇺🇦

I am genuinely astonished that, after Donald Trump has spent the past two years stripping Ukraine of virtually all Congressionally-approved aid, threatening Ukraine, fawning over Putin and bending over backwards to please him in every conceivable way, blaming Ukraine for being invaded, hurling vicious, absurd insults, blackmail, and torrents of lies at it, twisting its arm to force it into capitulation, humiliating it with his antics, making it a scapegoat for his own failures and incompetence in the eyes of voters, and now openly and definitively entering into direct collusion with the Kremlin and siding with it in exchange for promised corrupt “business opportunities” for himself, his family, and his inner circle -- there are still people who have the nerve search with a magnifying glass for ways in which Zelensky failed to kiss Trump's ass enthusiastically enough to explain why he has been treating Ukraine this way.

乌克兰星starlink被降速究竟是怎么回事? 马斯克说Starshield是军方控制的,starlink只为民用。卢比奥说乌克兰买的不是starshield,因此没有星盾的速度。 请注意在此次事件之前从没有听说过星盾。我猜测所谓星盾星链之分可能是为了限制乌克兰而量身定制的。

乌克兰购买的星链服务本来没有速度限制,在此之前也没有所谓购买星盾之说。现在川普要限制乌克兰对俄国的反击,马斯克献计把原来的Starlinks分为军用的星盾和民用的星链两部分。乌克兰发现星链被限速了,马斯克说军用部分是星盾,不归我管。美国政府(卢比奥)说,你购买的是星链,不是星盾。

如果让川马二人阴谋得逞,乌克兰的星链不仅会限速,甚至可能无法对俄国进行反击(因为他们说乌克兰购买的不是星盾,不能用于军事目的)。限速,只是第一步,可能只是一种试探。

On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.” On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month. This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces. I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians. As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?

重大新聞:億萬富翁理查德·布蘭森爵士對川普及其對俄羅斯獨裁者弗拉迪米爾·普丁的噁心親近發動了火辣辣的攻擊。 這正是那種會讓川普抓狂的事情…… 「我原以為我這輩子都不會說出這句話,但這是 2026 年,可悲的是,一切都變了樣,」維珍集團創辦人布蘭森在 LinkedIn 上寫道。「川普政府已淪為獨裁者和獨裁者的綏靖者,將他們的個人心血來潮置於美國人民和自由世界的最大利益之上。川普總統到底是看中普丁什麼而對他阿諛奉承?」 「當美國的盟友在戰爭與苦難之際,如今卻被他們反過來對付時,這些盟友將如何再次信任這個政府?」他質問道。 川普近日多次背叛我們的烏克蘭盟友。首先,他宣布與普丁達成一項驚人協議,允許數百萬桶柴油進入全球市場,此舉將直接為俄羅斯戰爭機器注入資金。接著,他發動一場有組織的抹黑行動針對澤連斯基總統,並表示普丁更容易對付。 背刺行為升級,當華盛頓未能如往常般提前向基輔發出俄羅斯彈道導彈來襲的預警。現在,看來白宮下令暫時中斷 Starshield,這是伊隆·馬斯克 Starlink 的軍事版本,烏克蘭武裝部隊高度依賴它。 「Starlink/Starshield 的減速以及對俄羅斯導彈發射的莫名缺乏預警,已導致烏克蘭平民不必要地死亡,」布蘭森寫道。「事情還能糟到什麼程度?」 「有一件事很清楚,那就是歐洲領導人必須克服對川普近期行動的初步震驚,挺身而出。這不僅關乎烏克蘭的主權,也關乎歐洲的自由。兩者都值得我們奮鬥,」他繼續說道。「現在,所有選項都該擺上檯面,從將凍結的俄羅斯資產轉移給烏克蘭,到交付先進武器系統,如德國的 Taurus。」 「為什麼會發生這種事?我們不能眼睜睜看著自由世界在我們眼前被拆解,」布蘭森總結道。 我們完全同意。川普是烏克蘭的敵人、民主的敵人,以及美國人民的敵人。當民主黨重新掌權時,我們有許多工作要做。這個怪物男人的每一絲遺產都必須被抹除。 如果你認為川普是普丁的傀儡,請 ❤️ 並分享!
BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin... "I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?" "How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked. Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with. The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon. "The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?" "If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus." "Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded. We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is Putin's puppet!

西方部分政客一直在私下劝乌克兰:把东部的顿巴斯让出去,战争不就能停了吗? “土地换和平”,听上去像是一笔务实的妥协。 泽连斯基在布鲁塞尔的新闻发布会上,说出了自己的逻辑,各位且听,有没有道理: 如果普京真的只想要顿巴斯,2022 年 2 月全面开战的第一天,俄军装甲部队为什么要直扑基辅? 基辅在乌克兰中北部。 离顿巴斯前线有六七百公里。 那里既不是俄语区争议的核心,也没有东部的煤矿工业带。 那是首都。 一个国家的神经中枢。 当时俄军精锐伞兵强行突降安东诺夫机场,几十公里长的机械化纵队从切尔诺贝利一路向南狂飙,目标只有一个: 斩首政府班子,瘫痪全军指挥系统,彻底抹掉这个国家的主权。 没有首都,就没有国家。 今天俄军为什么把大部分主力压在顿巴斯打残酷的阵地战? 不是因为莫斯科的胃口变小了。 是因为他们在基辅城外被打崩了,后勤补给全线断裂,不得不狼狈撤退。 打不下首都,才被迫缩回东部,靠漫无止境的炮火犁地打消耗战。 把军事失利后的被动收缩,说成自己自始至终只要东部,这本身就是战场受挫后的包装。 如果乌克兰真听了那些政客的劝告,主动从顿巴斯撤军,接下来会发生什么? 很多人不知道顿巴斯在军事防御上意味着什么。 从 2014 年起,乌克兰依托当地密集的重工业城市群和高地,修筑了整整十年的坚固防御带。 斯拉维扬斯克、克拉马托尔斯克,地下工事纵横,全是最坚固的钢筋混凝土支撑点。 这是挡住俄军向西推进的最厚一道装甲盾牌。 一旦乌克兰为了换取一纸停火协议把这些阵地拱手让出,整条防线就必须向西后撤数百公里。 防线后面是一马平川的平原,无险可守。 这等于自己走出修了十年的堡垒,站在开阔地上,把命运押在侵略者的信誉上。 面对一个公开宣称乌克兰根本不配算作一个国家和民族的对手,让步换不来满足。 割让土地只会向对方发出最危险的激励信号:暴力吞并确实有效。 停火只会给对方提供宝贵的喘息期,重组军工产能,补充前线兵员,把重炮和装甲集结地直接前移到乌克兰毫无遮拦的腹地门槛上。 等下一轮攻势再次打响,乌克兰已经失去了最后一道天然屏障。 那些在布鲁塞尔催促乌克兰早点签字妥协的人,总觉得这是花最少代价结束冲突的捷径。 泽连斯基把欧洲一直避而不谈的后果直接摆上了台面: 如果乌克兰的防御彻底崩塌,国家解体,会发生什么? 两千万难民将直接涌入欧洲。 欧洲各国的边境管控、财政预算、社会治安和福利系统,会在几个月内被彻底冲垮。 为了看守多出来的两千公里高危边境,北约必须把几十万正规部队永久前移,常年维持战备。 现在省下来的每一笔防务预算,日后都会变成整个欧洲不得不掏出十倍代价去填的安全黑洞。 在残酷的地缘现实面前,最致命的幻想就是拿生存底牌去喂侵略者的胃口。 停火线从来不是靠善意画出来的。 面对一个旨在消灭你国家地位的对手,你主动让出的每一寸阵地,最后都会变成刺向你胸口的下一柄刺刀。

🇮🇹🇺🇦 哇!多麼精彩的演講!義大利總理喬治婭·梅洛尼(Giorgia Meloni)發表的這些話語充滿力量! 以下是她專門談論烏克蘭和唐納德·川普(Donald Trump)的完整五分鐘演講摘錄。 「俄羅斯對烏克蘭發動了新一輪秋季攻勢。 由於無法在戰場上推進,莫斯科已越來越多地將攻擊轉向平民:電廠、住宅樓、醫院,甚至載著人們上班的巴士,就像克拉馬托爾斯克(Kramatorsk)那場可怕的大屠殺一樣。 這是一種策略,透過它,俄羅斯試圖以恐怖、寒冷和黑暗來征服烏克蘭,僅僅因為它未能通過戰場征服烏克蘭。 事實與克里姆林宮的宣傳以及在此散布這些宣傳的人相矛盾。 從今年年初以來,俄羅斯僅奪取了極少領土,而在九月,它失去了先前奪取的大部分地區。 這種停滯並非偶然。它是透過烏克蘭的勇氣和西方的支持實現的,包括義大利的支持。 這種抵抗是將俄羅斯帶到談判桌上的唯一有效工具。 我尊重並理解關於此議題的熱烈辯論,包括在本議會內,因為這裡沒有人想要戰爭。 我們都想要和平。 差別在於我們打算如何實現它。 在我看來,支持烏克蘭並非和平的替代方案。它正是使和平成為可能的因素。 因為如果一個侵略者期待其對手投降,為何它會進行談判? 投降不是和平。那是征服。 如果烏克蘭明天停止自衛,正如許多人所建議,我們不會獲得和平。 我們將討論一個歐洲國家的佔領,以及蘇聯帝國主義的回歸。 就我個人而言,我不懷念那些時光。我不懷念俄羅斯坦克鎮壓布拉格和布達佩斯的起義。 我不懷念柏林牆。 沒有人能說服我,那些捍衛自由的人投降可以被稱為『和平』。 我們想要的和平,以及我們正在努力實現的和平,即使付出讓步的代價,也是一種公正的和平,因為只有公正的和平才能持久。 只有公正的和平才能保護歐洲和我們的利益。 這就是為什麼我們政府的立場保持不變:對烏克蘭的支持,特別關注平民、對莫斯科施壓,以及歐大西洋團結,這些仍是我們行動的支柱。 在這種背景下,我們必須談論唐納德·川普與俄羅斯的柴油協議。 這是一個我認為極其危險的決定。 當然,我們都認識到控制燃料價格的必要性,因為這對家庭構成沉重負擔,包括義大利家庭。 但我們必須明白,價格上漲主要與伊朗的戰爭有關,而不是烏克蘭。 為莫斯科正名,其炸彈繼續落在烏克蘭城市,為戰爭提供新收入,並削弱制裁,這些都是我們不能忽視的因素。 而且它們與西方國家,包括美國,為迫使普丁(Putin)坐上談判桌所做的一切相矛盾。 能源停火是另一回事,義大利支持它,我們感謝澤連斯基總統(President Zelenskyy)對烏克蘭立即同意它的意願。 現在我們期待俄羅斯停止攻擊烏克蘭的能源基礎設施。 最後,在這樣一個艱難時刻,當如此多變數超出我們控制之外時,至少有一件事取決於我們: 我們必須確保歐洲不僅僅袖手旁觀,因為和平的條件將影響我們的大陸和我們的的安全。」 — 喬治婭·梅洛尼,義大利總理
🇮🇹🇺🇦 WOW! WHAT A SPEECH! WHAT POWERFUL WORDS FROM ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER GIORGIA MELONI! Here is the full five-minute excerpt of her speech devoted to Ukraine and Donald Trump. “Russia has launched a new autumn campaign against Ukraine. Unable to advance on the battlefield, Moscow has increasingly turned its attacks against civilians: power plants, residential buildings, hospitals, and even buses carrying people to work, as in the horrific massacre in Kramatorsk. This is a strategy through which Russia seeks to subjugate Ukraine with terror, cold, and darkness, simply because it has failed to conquer it on the battlefield. The facts contradict Kremlin propaganda and those who spread it here. Since the beginning of the year, Russia has captured very little territory, and in September it lost much of what it had previously seized. This halt did not happen by chance. It was achieved through Ukraine’s courage and Western support, including that of Italy. This resistance is the only effective instrument for bringing Russia to the negotiating table. I respect and understand the passionate debate on this issue, including within this chamber, because nobody here wants war. We all want peace. The difference lies in how we intend to achieve it. As I see it, supporting Ukraine is not an alternative to peace. It is what makes peace possible. Because if an aggressor expects its opponent to surrender, why would it negotiate? Surrender is not peace. It is conquest. If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, as many suggest, we would not have peace. We would be discussing the occupation of a European nation and the return of Soviet imperialism. Personally, I do not miss those times. I do not miss Russian tanks crushing uprisings in Prague and Budapest. I do not miss the Berlin Wall. And nobody will ever convince me that the surrender of those defending their freedom can be called ‘peace.’ The peace we want, and the peace we are working toward, even at the cost of concessions, is a just peace, because only a just peace can endure. Only a just peace can protect Europe and our interests. That is why our government's position remains unchanged: support for Ukraine, with particular attention to civilians, pressure on Moscow, and Euro-Atlantic unity remain the pillars of our actions. In this context, we must address Donald Trump's diesel agreement with Russia. This is a decision I consider extremely risky. Of course, we all recognize the need to contain fuel prices, which place a heavy burden on families, including Italian families. But we must understand that rising prices are primarily linked to the war in Iran, not Ukraine. Legitimizing Moscow, whose bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, providing new revenues to finance the war, and weakening sanctions are all factors we cannot ignore. And they contradict everything Western nations, including the United States, have done to force Putin to the negotiating table. An energy ceasefire is a different matter, one that Italy supports, and we are grateful to President Zelenskyy for Ukraine's immediate willingness to agree to it. Now we expect Russia to stop attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Finally, at such a difficult moment, when so many variables are beyond our control, there is at least one thing that depends on us: We must ensure that Europe does not simply stand by and watch, because the terms of peace will affect our continent and our security.” — Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy

川普真是个东西
川普对泽连斯基发起猛烈攻击! 川普刚刚发文: “想想看,一位还算过得去的喜剧演员,弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基,说服了美利坚合众国花费3500亿美元,卷入一场无法取胜、本不必开始的战争,但如果没有美国和“特朗普”,他将永远无法结束这场战争。美国比欧洲多花了2000亿美元,而欧洲的资金是有保障的,而美国将一无所获。为什么昏昏欲睡的乔·拜登不要求平等化,因为这场战争对欧洲来说远比对我们重要。我们有一片广阔美丽的海洋作为隔离带。除此之外,泽连斯基承认我们寄给他的钱有一半“失踪了”。他拒绝举行选举,在乌克兰民调中支持率极低,而他唯一擅长的就是像拉小提琴一样操纵拜登。 泽连斯基是一个拒绝选举的独裁者,他最好迅速行动,否则他将失去这个国家。与此同时,我们正在成功地与俄罗斯谈判结束战争,所有人都承认只有“特朗普”和特朗普政府能做到这一点。拜登从未尝试过,欧洲未能带来和平,而泽连斯基可能想继续享受“丰厚的利益”。我爱乌克兰,但泽连斯基做得很糟糕,他的国家支离破碎,数百万人毫无必要地丧生。而且......所以它继续下去.....” …… 说真的,对于俄乌战争,对于普京和泽连斯基,或许很多人都有自己的立场和看法,这很正常。 但像川普今天这样猛烈攻击一个正在顽强抵抗外敌的国家和领导人,而且攻击的内容大多严重夸大了事实。这,很难让这个世界大多数人觉得公平。 正如泽连斯基接受采访时说,美国既然站在了中间想当调停人,那么就要不偏不倚站在中间。 川普和美国,不能为了与俄罗斯达成交易而放弃那些永远不能放弃的东西。 川普的这个发文,太让人寒心。
