US-UK Rift: Could Differences Between Johnson and Biden Lead to Deep Row Between the Nations?_我的网站
一 | 乌克兰独立35周年的特殊日子里，基辅迎来了一个非同寻常的盛会。英国首相安迪·伯纳姆及北欧、波罗的海各国首脑齐聚一堂，这不仅仅是一场简单的外交访问，而是北约对俄罗斯发出的明确警告：我们将坚定支持乌克兰，你能奈我何？这样的场面，仿佛是为即将到来的风暴铺平道路。 不可小觑的是，这次聚会并不是个别国家的善意示好，而是34个国家共同承诺，在乌克兰与俄罗斯达成和平协议后，将提供持续的安全保障。想象一下，几乎半个欧洲都在站出来表态，这一幕无疑让克里姆林宫感到深深的不安。 更有甚者，英国还计划提升乌克兰制造远程导弹的能力，以减少其对西方援助的依赖。
二 | 此外，欧盟也毫不犹豫地批准了超过60亿欧元的财政援助，专门用于购买先进的防御系统。
三 | 这种强力支持的背后，可以说是北欧国家和波罗的海国家的一致立场——他们不再是旁观者，而是在以实际行动支持乌克兰的抗俄斗争。
四 | 挪威的首相甚至明确表示，明年对乌克兰的援助将达到令人咋舌的90亿美元，这一数额创下历史新高。 UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come up with a plan to repurpose arable land which is at present used for crop-based biofuels so that more food might be grown as food prices and inflation soar.,However, officials of US President Joe Biden made it clear on 26 June that Washington wouldn't "okay" Johnson's initiative in a bid to protect American farmers and avoid breaking climate commitments. According to the British daily newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, Germany appears to back the British premier's plan whereas Canada and the US have rejected it. Johnson's plan needs the unanimous support from all G7 nations for it to fly.,"I think the rift is one that happens periodically between the UK and US - without minimizing the significance, there have been tensions on trade issues for some years now (including the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on the UK). How serious it becomes is questionable," says Professor Robert Singh, specialist in contemporary US politics at the University of London's Birkbeck College.,UK on Collision Course With US as BoJo Set to Prioritize Food Production Over Green Energy06:06 GMT,Previously, Johnson and Biden clashed over Brexit customs issues and the Northern Ireland Protocol with the American president reportedly accusing the British premier of "inflaming" Irish tensions ahead of the 2021 G7 Summit in Cornwall.,Given the record of friction between Biden and Johnson, it appears likely that if the UK does legislate to revise the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP), Washington will react negatively, Singh suggests. Downing Street has published a Bill proposing to change the protocol unilaterally in favor of British businesses and communities. It would also grant the British government powers to amend the agreement further if appropriate.,"It's possible that [the NIP amendment] could then inflame the trade issue further," says Singh. "[I]t will worsen the Johnson government's record, at a time when the cost of living crisis, inflation, and many other problems are piling up. It's probably, on balance, yet another own goal by Johnson - an unnecessary diplomatic row that was avoidable.",To complicate matters even more, Johnson skipped a climate summit hosted by Biden for world leaders earlier this month, despite 15 other heads of state and government attending the virtual gathering. According to Politico, the premier's absence "reverses a previous snub from Biden" who declined to attend a climate meeting Johnson hosted on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in 2021.,Yet another diplomatic row rocked London and Washington after the UK issued licences to four British flagged vessels to fish for Patagonian toothfish - also known as Chilean seabass - near Antarctica. Earlier, a 26-member fishing regulatory body, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) set specific catch limits for the species. The US immediately accused Britain of breaching the commission's rules, rendering the catch illegal. The feud could lead to an import ban on Patagonian toothfish, according to the media.,Northern Ireland Protocol Used as Proxy in Tory Efforts to Unseat BoJo, Legal Expert Says14 June, 18:55 GMT,UK-US Spat Can be Fixed Quicker Than That Between UK and EU,The UK-US tensions are unlikely to lead to a serious breach in relations in the near future, insists Dr Roslyn Fuller, director of the non-profit think-tank Solonian Democracy Institute and the author of the book Beasts and Gods: How Democracy Changed Its Meaning and Lost Its Purpose.,"Johnson and Biden are both career politicians and will probably behave pragmatically," says Fuller. "Even were they to exaggerate their differences in the press to play to their respective electorate, this would be unlikely to affect their highly connected working relationship greatly.",Though the NIP issue could cause some additional tensions between the UK and the US, the nations are likely to solve relatively minor dilemmas, such as the spat over the toothfish catch, according to the author.,"As the two major English-speaking powers and neoliberal nations that have cooperated intensely on military matters in the past, it would be quite stupid on their part to indulge in any serious in-fighting," she says. "I think the US is paying increasing attention to Germany as the remaining European superpower, but that doesn't necessarily have to come at the expense of the British.",However, when it comes to the UK and the EU, the rift between them indeed appears to be deepening, according to Fuller:,"Britain also obviously lost faith in the EU and its regulatory regime, and clearly wants to go its own way to the extent that it can," the author says. "This is thus an example of increasing global fragmentation."。
五 | 而他的话语中流露出的决心，则是“总得有人赢，应该是乌克兰”。
六 | 但这番声势显然不足以安抚俄罗斯。美军的重型武器已经抵达与俄罗斯接壤的边境地区，包括价格不菲的爱国者防空导弹系统、陆军战术导弹系统以及F-16战斗机，这些都是美国最顶级的军事装备。这不仅令乌克兰的军事实力大幅提升，还直接搅动了地区的稳定性。 过去，乌克兰或许只能依靠老旧的苏联武器进行抵抗，而如今，随着这些现代化武器的加入，情况发生了天翻地覆的变化。 对于普京来说，这种变化不亚于在他家门口点燃了一把火。他已经多次发出警告，认为北约的武器进入乌克兰实际上是在挑战俄罗斯的底线。这种局势下，普京面临着艰难的选择：要么选择升级战事，直接打击北约的补给线，甚至可能与北约国家展开正面交锋；要么选择忍气吞声，看着乌克兰愈发强大，战争持续拖延。无论如何，俄罗斯都面临着巨大的压力，而一旦冲突升级的闸门被打开，后果将是不堪设想的。 这一切的根源，归结起来无疑是美国的战略考量。美国希望通过推动欧洲陷入混乱，使其资本、人才和制造业流向自国，从而实现利益最大化。这个策略虽然看似在短期内能够产生效果，却无形中将整个地区推向了深渊。 北约的这些举措从表面上看是为了维护乌克兰的独立与安全，但另一方面，这些国家似乎也意识到了被美国绑住的现实。乌克兰的民众在这场权力游戏中，往往成为了最无辜、最受伤的群体。
七 | 他们在前线流血，为的是谁的利益呢？ 倘若不设法终止这场代理人战争，乌克兰的未来将充满不确定性。尽管目前西方国家以“捍卫民主自由”的名义，向乌克兰提供各类支持，但是在战场上，真正为此买单的依然是那些普通民众。他们无辜地承受着战争带来的痛苦与磨难，而这种痛苦到底什么时候能结束，似乎没有人能够给出明确的答案。 诚然，北约示威的战术似乎在短期内有效，但长久以来，战争只会带来无止境的苦难和破坏。即使假以时日，能否收获真正的和平仍值得怀疑。
八 | 在这样的棋局中，普通人的命运被权利的博弈所左右，呼唤和平的声音却愈发显得微弱。 最后，重要的不是普京如何应对，而是控制暴力的手段何时开始。战争不是一场游戏，一场比拼武器的较量，真正的胜利者将是那些能够实现持久和平的人。过去的教训告诉我们，持久的和平才是解决问题的唯一途径，而不是用武力去强化一时的胜利。返回，查看更多。
