@Ian Bremmer : 我认为,尽管特朗普总统改变了对北约的承诺,但北约仍然有效运作。欧洲需要做得更多,但美国并没有放弃北约。欧洲人认为特朗普及其盟友对他们的民主制度构成直接威胁,这与北约无关,而是关于特朗普及其支持者对欧洲的威胁。拜登和特朗普在对欧洲的政策上存在根本性差异:拜登支持强大的欧盟,而特朗普则认为强大的欧盟对美国不利。欧洲国家即使意识到紧迫性,也很难在没有美国支持的情况下为乌克兰挺身而出。欧洲和乌克兰自身无法解决与俄罗斯的冲突,即使乌克兰表现英勇,俄罗斯也拥有更强大的军事工业体系和经济实力。普京在国内没有面临政治威胁,即使普里戈津发动叛乱,也没有任何寡头、将军或部长反对普京。对俄罗斯的制裁并没有像预期那样对其经济造成巨大压力,而是军事援助对乌克兰局势产生了更大的影响。美国、欧洲和其他国家不愿意承受会让俄罗斯屈服的经济打击,因此无法通过经济手段迫使俄罗斯投降。 @Rick Wilson : 就美国及其在世界中角色的未来以及与俄罗斯和中国关系,我与Ian Bremmer进行了深入探讨。我们讨论了特朗普政府对北约、欧盟以及对乌克兰和俄罗斯冲突的影响。我们还讨论了美国软实力的衰落以及中国日益增长的影响力。此外,我们还探讨了关税对全球经济和通货膨胀的影响,以及人工智能对美国中产阶级的影响。Bremmer 强调了欧洲对特朗普政府的担忧,以及美国在全球舞台上软实力的丧失。他还分析了俄罗斯经济的脆弱性及其对普京政权的影响。此外,他还讨论了美国对中国的贸易政策,以及人工智能对美国经济和政治的潜在影响。

  • There is skepticism about Europe's ability to defend itself without U.S. support.
  • Trump views a strong European Union as disadvantageous to U.S. interests.

Shownotes Transcript

Political scientist, author, and entrepreneur Ian Bremmer -- who's also the founder and president of Eurasia Group and the founder of GZERO Media -- stops by to chat with Rick about how we're fucked, and why we're fucked. There is nothing like sitting down with a good ole expert friend at the beginning of a potential World War to discuss the American economy, AI, global politics, and the growing dangers inside and outside the U.S. democratic government.
