當?shù)貢r間2月24日,美國國務卿布林肯(Antony Blinken)接受美媒采訪,在被問及美國向烏克蘭提供援助時,他表示此舉是因為“大多數(shù)美國人發(fā)自內(nèi)心地不喜歡看到一個大國欺負他國(viscerally most Americans don’t like to see a big country bullying another)”。此番言論在國外社交媒體引發(fā)嘲諷。↓
Asked about the billions of dollars provided to Ukraine in a CBS television interview aired lastFriday,US Secretary of State Antony Blinken answered, "I think viscerally most Americans don't like to see a big country bullying another, and they just feel it's wrong and want to do something about it."
“The taxpayers have been incredibly generous, and we have to make sure that we’re using their money wisely in Ukraine,”he said.
But fundamentally, what’s going on is this: After two World Wars, the world came together and started the United Nations. And the objective was to prevent another world war. And countries around the world agreed on some basic rules, some basic principles like one country just can’t attack its neighbor, it can’t try to seize its land by force, can’t try to erase it from the map, can’t bully it.
“That’s exactly what Russia is doing. So, its aggression against Ukraine isn’t just an aggression against the people of Ukraine; it’s an aggression against those very principles that are at the heart of maintaining peace and stability. So, if you let that go unchecked, Pandora’s box open, aggressors everywhere come out; we’re living in a world of conflict,”Blinken claimed.
Commenting on Blinken’s remarks, RussianForeign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said she thought a secretary of state would need to know his own country’s history, and offered the US official a refresher course.
“I could be mistaken, but I thought Blinken was representing the US, and not some other country,” the diplomat said on Telegram. “Was it not the US that attacked Iraq? Or was Iraq not small enough?” she added.
扎哈羅娃還指出,美國歷史雖然短暫,卻血腥。她表示,美國對不順從其意志的國家懷有敵意。
“The history of the United States, though short, is bloody and amounts to a country hostile to nations that do not obey its will,” Zakharova noted.
