@Rick Wilson : 我认为特朗普及其盟友，如Pete Hegseth和Marco Rubio，已经背叛了乌克兰，将美国的荣誉和全球领导地位置于危险之中。特朗普对普京的奉承和邀请他访问美国，进一步加剧了这一问题。我认为特朗普对普京的羡慕源于他对普京镇压异己的手段的欣赏，这使得特朗普愿意牺牲乌克兰的利益来获得普京的认可。我认为共和党内对特朗普的附和，特别是那些明知真相却保持沉默的人，是助长这一背叛行为的原因之一。我认为美国正在放弃其作为北约领导者和世界领导者的角色，因为特朗普将北约视为一种保护费勒索，而不是一个重要的联盟。我认为这种行为不仅损害了美国的声誉，也鼓励其他国家发展核武器，从而使世界更加不稳定和危险。我认为欧洲需要站出来，意识到在特朗普领导下的美国已经不可靠，并且需要加强自身的防御能力。
