MS NOW的乔·斯卡伯勒说，唐纳德·特朗普在总统宣布将暂时解除制裁并允许数百万吨燃料从俄罗斯进口到美国后，正在“向弗拉基米尔·普京低头”。“早安乔”节目的联合主持人表示，特朗普在与普京达成协议的选择，正值其对乌克兰发动残酷战争之际，这与一些著名西方人物的历史绥靖政策形成了类比，这些人物持有强烈的亲纳粹同情，并对阿道夫·希特勒持有积极看法。
MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough said Donald Trump is “bowing down” to Vladimir Putin after the president announced he would temporarily lift sanctions and allow millions of tons of fuel to be imported to the U.S. from Russia. The“Morning Joe” co-host said Trump’s choice to strike a deal with Putin amid his brutal war with Ukraine draws parallels to the historical appeasement by prominent Western figures who held strong pro-Nazi sympathies and shared a favorable view of Adolf Hitler.
特朗普在周五的一则社交媒体帖子中宣布了该协议，该帖子是在与俄罗斯领导人通话后发布的。该协议恰好在他签署一项广泛的俄罗斯制裁法之后几周出台，该法律旨在切断莫斯科获取其继续对乌克兰战争所需的许多资源。
The agreement, which Trump announced Friday in a social media post after a call with the Russian leader, comes just weeks after he signed a sweeping Russia sanctions law, tailored to cut Moscow off from many of the resources it needs to continue its war against Ukraine.
“特朗普给弗拉基米尔·普京打了电话，而普京总是能玩弄他，”斯卡伯勒周二上午说。“然后发生了什么？他解除了制裁。”正如MS NOW的主持人所指出的，能源专家对该协议是否会对美国燃油价格产生任何实际影响持怀疑态度。“白宫说他对普京的礼物会降低加油站的油价，但事实并非如此，”斯卡伯勒说。
“Trump got on the phone with Vladimir Putin, who always plays him,” Scarborough said Tuesday morning. “And what happened? He lifted sanctions.”As the MS NOW host noted, energy experts are skeptical the deal will have any real effect on fuel prices in the U.S. “The White House says his gift to Putin will lower prices at the pump, but it won’t,” Scarborough said.
他还暗示，总统逆转长期美国政策的做法，追随了其他对强人持同情态度的历史人物的脚步，例如爱德华八世，即温莎公爵和前英格兰国王。爱德华退位后，他游历了纳粹德国并会见了希特勒。在美国，斯卡伯勒指出，他曾称之为“美国英雄”的查尔斯·林德伯格也成为了一位著名的纳粹同情者，并在演讲中“指责犹太人和英国人推动美国走向战争”。
He also suggested the president’s reversal of longstanding U.S. policy follows in the footsteps of other historical figures who were sympathetic to strongmen, such as Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor and former king of England. After Edward abdicated the throne, he toured Nazi Germany and met with Hitler. In the U.S., Scarborough noted that Charles Lindbergh whom he called an “American hero,” also became a prominent Nazi sympathizer and delivered speeches in which he “blamed Jews and the British for pushing America toward war.”
斯卡伯勒还指出，一些英国贵族，如阿斯特尔勋爵和哈利法克斯勋爵，曾推动政府对纳粹德国实行绥靖政策。“[他们认为]希特勒是一个他们可以做生意的人。这听起来熟悉吗？”他问道。
Scarborough pointed to British aristocrats, such as Lord Astor and Lord Halifax, who pushed the government to appease Nazi Germany. “[They] thought Hitler was a man they could do business with. Does that sound familiar?” he asked.
“理由听起来如此体面：贸易、稳定、金钱、我们这个时代的和平。如今历史铭记他们是道德真空的机会主义者，他们看着一个吞噬邻国的暴君，却只看到一个商业伙伴，”他继续说道。
“The reason sounded so respectable: trade, stability, money, peace in our time. History remembers them now as morally vacuous opportunists who looked at a tyrant who was devouring his neighbors. The only thing they saw: a business partner,” he continued.
斯卡伯勒随后直接对总统发出警告，指出他对普京的绥靖政策可能导致的后果。“唐纳德，我认识你很久了，我知道你不读历史，所以让我告诉你这个故事的结局，”他说。“温莎公爵最终沦为脚注，成为一则穿着华丽西装的警示故事，永远被分配到英国历史的垃圾箱里。”
Scarborough then addressed the president directly, warning him where his appeasement of Putin could lead. “Donald, I’ve known you a long time, and I know you don’t read history, so let me tell you how this story ends,” he said. “The Duke of Windsor ended up a footnote, a cautionary tale in a fancy suit, forever assigned to the dustbin of British history.”
MS NOW的主持人表示，特朗普在乌克兰“终于做正确事情”的时间“所剩无几”，并建议总统“停止向普京低头，开始履行你的职责”。
The MS NOW host said Trump’s time to “finally do the right thing in Ukraine” is “running out” and advised the president to “stop bowing down to Putin and start doing your job”
“我知道你可能没有被告知这一点，但作为美国总统，履行你的职责意味着抵御入侵的俄罗斯军队，捍卫国家，并扩大西方自由的疆界，”他说。“如果你不这样做，那么就像希特勒时期一样，你可以肯定波兰、波罗的海国家以及欧洲其他地区将成为普京的下一个目标。你该开始工作的时候早已过去了。”
“And I know you may not have been told this, but as president of the United States, doing your job means defending countries against invading Russian armies and expanding the borders of Western freedom,” he said. “If you don’t, then as with Hitler, you can bet that Poland, the Baltics, and the rest of Europe will be Putin’s next target. It’s past time that you get to work.”
