美国总统特朗普与乌克兰总统泽连斯基在白宫的激烈争吵震惊了全世界。但这也让我们更深入地了解了美国的霸权心态。让我们回顾一下美国政治家的令人深思的言论。

Henry Kissinger/基辛格：

“It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”

“做美国的敌人是危险的，但是做美国的盟友是致命的”

Antony Blinken/布林肯:

"if you're not at the table in the international system, you're going to be on the menu“

“在国际体系中，如果你不坐在餐桌上，你就会出現在菜單上”

Zbigniew Brzeziński/布热津斯基, author of The Grand Chessboard/大棋局作者：

Russian scholar Dugin: In 2005, I had a conversation with Zbigniew Brzezinski in Washington. There was a chessboard in front of us, a real international chessboard. I asked Brzezinski, "Do you think chess is a two-player game?" He said, "No, it's a one-player game."

俄学者杜金：2005年时，我在华盛顿与兹比格涅夫·布热津斯基谈话。我们面前有一个棋盘，一个真正的国际象棋棋盘。我问布热津斯基： “你认为国际象棋是双人游戏吗？”他说：“不，这是单人游戏。”
