英国前首相托尼·布莱尔警告称，如果欧洲在与俄罗斯的冲突中失去美国支持，就可能无法取得胜利；他还表示，英国领导人应维持与总统唐纳德·特朗普的联盟关系。
Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair warned that Europe could find itself unable to prevail in a conflict with Russia if it loses the backing of the United States, saying British leaders should preserve their alliance with President Donald Trump.
“如果美国不支持我们，而我们就被卷入冲突，我们赢不了。”布莱尔在接受《美国星期六》主持人凯莉·麦肯阿尼采访时说。
"If we get drawn into a conflict without the support of America, we don't win," Blair told "Saturday in America" host Kayleigh McEnany.
他继续表示：“这是一段不可或缺的关系。当你的盟友对你的安全至关重要，而他们前来请求帮助时，提供帮助是明智的。”他还解释了为何英国应支持特朗普总统使用英国基地的请求。
"This is an essential relationship," he continued. "And the reason why I thought we should have supported President Trump when he asked for the use of our bases is in circumstances where your ally is an indispensable part of your security, and they come asking for help, it’s wise to give it to them." RUBIO QUESTIONS ‘POINT’ OF NATO AFTER ALLIES BLOCKED US FROM USING BASES DURING IRAN CONFLICT Blair, who served as Britain’s prime minister from 1997 to 2007, called the U.S.-U.K. relationship "an essential" part of the West’s security as European nations debate the threat Russian President Vladimir Putin could pose to NATO countries.

曾于1997年至2007年担任英国首相的布莱尔称，美英关系是西方安全不可或缺的一部分。当前，欧洲各国正在讨论俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京可能对北约国家构成的威胁。

尽管布莱尔 personally 认为普京不会真正威胁乌克兰以外的国家，但他承认欧洲其他人持有不同看法。
While Blair personally believes Putin poses no real threat to countries outside of Ukraine, he acknowledged that others across Europe hold a different belief.
报道称，美国情报警告，俄罗斯可能为了分裂该组织而对北约盟友发动有限攻击。布莱尔说：“我可能对普京的判断有误。欧洲有很多人认为，他对北约国家怀有恶意。”

Blair's comments come as some European leaders have raised their voices in concern over Russia, including after one recent instance in which an explosives-laden drone was discovered near a Ukrainian cargo plane at an airport in Germany.
据《今日美国》报道，一系列其他事件——包括侵犯领空、纵火等——也引起了外界关注，并显示局势可能升级。
