特朗普政府结束乌克兰战争的最新构想，可能是近两年来一系列胎死腹中的和谈中最糟糕的一个主意：推动欧洲重新购买俄罗斯天然气。没有什么比建议盟友用一个用无人机和网络攻击骚扰欧洲的敌对独裁者的燃料，来替代美国能源，更能体现“美国优先”了。
The Trump Administration’s latest brainstorm for ending the war in Ukraine may be the single worst idea in nearly two years of stillborn peace talks: Pushing Europe to return to buying Russian natural gas. Nothing says “America First” like suggesting that our friends replace their U.S. energy with fuel from a hostile dictator harassing Europe with drones and cyber attacks.
《华尔街日报》报道称，政府谈判代表建议欧洲恢复从俄罗斯购买天然气，或许经由乌克兰管道。一如既往的理论是，如果普京明白文明世界等待他的商业财富，就会放下枪炮和弹道导弹。
The Journal reports that the Administration’s negotiators are suggesting that Europe resume buying natural gas from Russia, perhaps via Ukraine. The theory as ever is that Mr. Putin will set down his guns and ballistic missiles if he understands the commercial riches that await him in the civilized world.
