如今，美欧国家唯一能做的，就是通过对俄制裁来施压。美国日前威胁俄罗斯，如果普京不打算停战，将面临更严厉的制裁。然而，特朗普在制裁问题上的 反应通常只是"打雷不下雨"，这一点大家都清楚。因此，在美国威胁制裁之后，俄方很快发布消息，称正在制定停战协议，这表明美国的制裁威胁并未能奏 效。与此同时，欧盟也宣布实施新一轮制裁，但问题在于，欧盟成员国的立场并不统一。冯德莱恩心里难道不清楚，这些国家中的很多成员与俄罗斯依旧保 持着密切的经济联系，甚至通过第三方国家进行能源和商品交易，只要有利益，几乎没有什么他们做不出的事情。 尽管布鲁塞尔一再对俄罗斯实施制裁，很多欧盟国家依旧在与俄罗斯进行能源交易，甚至连近期最积极支持乌克兰的法国，也在暗地里继续与普京进行能源 交易。最近，法国政府向俄罗斯支付了55亿欧元，以确保继续进口俄罗斯的廉价天然气。而在欧盟国家对俄罗斯的能源交易总金额中，法国占据了近一半份 额。 对于基辅政府来说，他们似乎已经没有太多翻盘的机会。尽管欧洲一些国家口口声声支持乌克兰，鼓励泽连斯基与俄罗斯"拼到底"，然而在实际的军事援助 上，这些国家几乎没有什么实质性的支持。与此同时，这些国家继续为普京提供资金，间接支 ...

别的事不好说，但仅就性别议题来说，互联网性别战争的走向，离不开一位伟大的民间哲学家。 那就是弗洛伊德·峰哥。 在广大人民群众眼里，他最重要的身份，是"中国两性关系教父"，遗落民间的"连接仙人"，B站的"下三路之王"。 柏拉图和亚里士多德一定想不到，真正的雅典大学堂其实在中国B站。 聊起男女连接，b友们就忘情了发狠了，不知天地为何物了。 这一切都离不开广大b友们的精神导师周丽峰。 他的直播间，就是中国青年男女裤裆故事万花筒。 他是性别战争中的阮小七，有且只有峰哥，才能在大压抑时代如鱼得水。 只要B站还存在一天，陈睿就不能不拜谢这位真正的百大帝王，散落民间的性压抑教父，研究两性关系的院士。 B站Up主@峰哥亡命天涯，纪录片导演，极限旅行家，国家一级登山运动员，自驾游专家，自由潜运动员，滑翔伞飞行员，水下摄影师，B站知名孩子王。 但这些title全都不重要。 连接，即男女肉体发生关系，是一种非常信达雅的隐晦注释。只要把这两个字念出来，成年人都懂是什么意思。 峰哥对世间万物的评价，可以用四个大字概括——想连接了。 只要聊起男女连接那点事，峰哥就犹如文曲星下凡，背后突然出现一束耶稣圣光，循循善诱每一个迷茫的灵魂。平时他 ...
