尽管该协议显然是特朗普的空头支票，但还是引发了愤怒。大家都很清楚，迫使弗拉基米尔·普京停止战争的筹码不是商业交易；而是让他从失败的战争中不受羞辱地退出，当且仅当普京嗅到这种机会时——而他目前尚未嗅到。
Cue the outrage, never mind that the deal is obvious Trump vaporware. The leverage to get Vladimir Putin to call off his war, all readily understand, isn’t business deals; it’s an exit without humiliation from his failed war, when and if Mr. Putin sniffs such an opportunity, which he hasn’t yet.
