Tom Bowman: 美国犹豫向乌克兰提供远程导弹的主要原因是担心俄罗斯升级冲突，甚至可能使用核武器。尽管如此，伊朗向俄罗斯提供导弹和军事训练这一事件改变了讨论，使得批准远程导弹使用的可能性增大。英国和法国也拥有类似的导弹，但由于其中包含美国组件，需要美国批准才能在俄罗斯境内使用。 批评人士认为，拜登政府在向乌克兰提供必要工具方面过于迟缓，过于渐进，过于担心升级。如果批准乌克兰使用远程导弹，可能会削弱俄罗斯发射滑翔炸弹和打击军事目标的能力，但同时也存在升级冲突的风险。目前，美国政府认为乌克兰已经用掉了很多远程导弹，并且美国自身军事准备也会受到影响。俄罗斯正在加紧打击乌克兰的能源基础设施，远程导弹将是乌克兰反击的一种方式。双方都不打算进行谈判，战争的未来走向尚不明朗。 Scott Simon和Ayesha Roscoe: 作为主持人，他们引导了采访，提出了问题，并对Tom Bowman的回答做出了回应，推动了讨论的进行。
