左：Andy McCarthy 右：Donald Trump Andy McCarthy — 知名保守派法律评论员、前联邦检察官 — — 抨击总统唐纳德·特朗普对弗拉基米尔·普京提供“援助和安慰”。
LEFT: Andy McCarthy RIGHT: Donald Trump Andy McCarthy — prominent conservative legal commentator and former federal prosecutor — ripped President Donald Trump for giving "aid and comfort" to Vladimir Putin.
在《国家评论》的一篇尖锐专栏中，McCarthy — — 前福克斯新闻贡献者 — — 责备国会未对特朗普与普京的“联盟”施加足够审查。
In a scathing column for National Review, McCarthy — a former Fox News contributor — took Congress to task for not applying sufficient scrutiny on Trump's "alliance" with Putin.
“普京对乌克兰的侵略战争及其企图征服的意图，就像他在格鲁吉亚的侵略战争和征服（他已占领该国近二十年的广大地区）一样，是他重建美国苏联敌人的一部分，”McCarthy写道。
"Putin’s war of aggression and hoped-for conquest against Ukraine, like his war of aggression and conquest in Georgia (swaths of which he has occupied for nearly two decades), is part of his quest to reconstitute America’s Soviet enemy," McCarthy wrote.
“而唐纳德·特朗普总统正在向他提供援助和安慰。”
"And President Donald Trump is giving him aid and comfort."
McCarthy补充道：“在一个运作正常的共和国里，本周特朗普-普京联盟令人震惊的升级本应立即举行听证会。
McCarthy added, "In a properly functioning republic, there would be immediate hearings about this week’s shocking escalation of the Trump–Putin alliance.
自特朗普第二个任期开始以来，看着美国总统把受害者 — — 我们的盟友乌克兰 — — 归咎于普京的侵略战争，令人痛心不已。”
Since the start of Trump’s second term, it has been excruciating to watch America’s president blame the victim, our ally Ukraine, for Putin’s war of aggression."
该专栏发布之际，正值特朗普达成购买俄罗斯柴油的协议 — — 以及周五晚间签署一项行政命令，使俄罗斯免受他上个月亲自签署成为法律的制裁。
The column comes on the heels of Trump striking a deal to buy Russian diesel and — late on Friday night —g an executive order exempting Russia from sanctions he himself signed into law last month.
总统一直猛烈抨击乌克兰的弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基 — — 在周四的一次采访中称他“不是我们好打交道的人”。
The president has regularly blasted Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky — calling him "not a good guy for us to deal with" in an interview on Thursday.
McCarthy对特朗普最近的言论进行了毫不留情的批评。
McCarthy was unsparing in his criticism of Trump's recent rhetoric.
“本周，在疯狂的公开言论……总统又一次把战争归咎于乌克兰，并无端侮辱泽连斯基，”McCarthy说。
"This week, in lunatic public statements ... the president again blamed Ukraine for the war and gratuitously insulted Zelensky," McCarthy said.
最后，McCarthy将注意力集中在对Starshield卫星系统的限制上 — — 据路透社报道，这一限制来自白宫。
Finally, McCarthy zeroed in on the restriction to the Starshield satellite system — which, according to a Reuters report, came from the White House.
“如果我们……允许常识进入方程式，太多黑暗的迹象指向美国政府的方向 — — 就在它寻求乌克兰投降、并威胁通过拒绝提供情报而使其无防御能力的那一刻 — — 它采取了有意识的行动，使乌克兰暴露于一场猛烈的攻击之中，而俄罗斯恰好在完美时机发动了这场攻击，”麦卡锡写道。
"If we ... allow common sense to enter the equation, too many dark signs point in the direction of an American administration — at the very moment it was seeking Ukraine’s capitulation and threatening to leave it defenseless by denying intelligence — taking conscious action that left Ukraine exposed to an intense attack, which Russia just happens to have conducted right at the perfect time," McCarthy wrote.
“这是黑暗的。
"This is dark.
它要求得到答案。
It demands answers.
现在。
”
Now." ——
