トランプ氏が示す「泥沼のガザとウクライナ」巡る新戦略

2 months ago | jp.wsj.com | David Cloud |Alexander Ward |James Areddy

【ワシントン】ドナルド・トランプ米大統領は、泥沼化する世界の紛争を解決するため従来と異なる対応を打ち出している。ウクライナでの戦争を巡っては、ロシアに譲歩した形で解決への協議を提案している。また、ガザ地区については全住民の移住を計画し、パレスチナ国家樹立への期待を打ち砕いた。　同氏が示したこれらの青写真は、数十年続いてきた米国の政策を否定するものであり、また、終わりの見えない衝突を解決しようとこれまで打ち出されてきた案がいずれも失敗に終わったという明確な主張でもある。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Quotes of the Day:"Only life lived for others is worthwhile." - Albert Einstein“Socrates said, “The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.” He wasn’t talking about grammar. To misuse language is to use it the way politicians and advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility for what the words mean. Language used as a means to get power or make money goes wrong: it lies. Language used as an end in itself, to sing a poem or tell a story, goes right, goes towards the truth.
从加沙到乌克兰，特朗普重写解决地区冲突的策略

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald J. Trump)正在改写此前公认的解决全球棘手冲突的策略，他提出通过对话结束乌克兰战争，对俄罗斯作出让步，并计划重新安置加沙地带的所有人口，熄灭巴勒斯坦建国的希望。他对这两个地方的蓝图都否定了美国几十年来的政策，无异于明确宣告对这些似乎永无止境的冲突，美国已经尝试过的传统解决方案都已经失败。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Trump Writes a New Playbook for Quagmires in Gaza and Ukraine

2 months ago | wsj.com | David Cloud |Alex Ward |James Areddy

WASHINGTON—President Trump is rewriting the accepted playbook for solving the world’s intractable conflicts—offering talks to settle the Ukraine war with concessions to Russia and crushing hopes for a Palestinian state with his plan to resettle Gaza’s entire population. His blueprints for both places are rejections of U.S. policy going back decades, a stark assertion that Washington’s conventional answers to these seemingly interminable clashes have been tried and have failed.

US demands Israel allow humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing military support

Oct 20, 2024 | americanmilitarynews.com | Tracy Wilkinson |Eli Stokols |David Cloud

In a rare, direct threat, the Biden administration has told Israel it must allow humanitarian aid into the besieged Gaza Strip or risk losing U.S. military armament, U.S. officials said Tuesday. The demand comes as Israel launches another major offensive in northern Gaza, where airstrikes in recent days have hit a school, refugee camp and a food repository. Aid agencies say tens of thousands of civilians face hunger and starvation.

Your browser does not support the audio tag. 00:00 / 02:00This article is in your queue. After a year of war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, the enclave’s future looks as bleak as its immediate past. Swaths of its cities and towns are in ruins, most schools and hospitals are destroyed or badly damaged, olive groves and farm fields are uprooted or bulldozed in many areas, and the bulk of its people are displaced on their own land, if they have survived at all. Yet the upheaval is far from over.

Quotes of the Day: "The totalitarian mash leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest if they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for...
