補下我的觀，英文不容易說錯意。
China, Europe, Russia, and the United States form the multi-pillars of today’s global order. While the U.S. still holds military and economic advantages, China’s rapid rise means America can no longer dominate alone. This multipolar balance is inherently unstable; if it persists without clear leadership, the world could drift back toward a “law of the jungle,” with the risk of internal wars or even genocides when no superpower is strong enough to enforce restraint.
The best path forward is for democratic nations to share regional responsibilities: Europe should take the lead in countering Russia, the U.S. together with Japan, Korea, and Australia should manage the Indo-Pacific and China, and Israel should handle threats in the Middle East. The U.S. cannot overstretch itself across every region without weakening its overall power.
Crucially, Washington must stand firmly with its European allies and maintain sustained pressure on Russia. Staying united and persistent is essential: Russia is already weakened, and continued transatlantic resolve can decisively contain it. Once Russia is brought down to a manageable level, addressing China and other authoritarian challengers will become far easier.
Trying to pull Russia away from China while alienating Europe, as the Trump administration attempted, is strategically misguided. Russia and China cannot realistically be separated; their geopolitical incentives tie them together. And once Russia eventually rebuilds its strength, it will not forget its biggest adversary - the United States of America. Historical grievances cannot be erased by simply turning over a new leaf. Only a strong, united democratic alliance can shape a stable future.
Trump will only serve one term. Between now and next year’s midterms, Ukraine can survive and hold its ground against the aggressor together with NATO and EU. After that, we can put U.S. foreign policy back on the right track. On domestic matters, he made no major mistakes.
