中美关税战刚刚进入"休战期"，特朗普又开始进行新的动作。最近，他批准了对台湾军售，金额高达110亿美元，计划为台湾提供包括海马斯多管火箭炮在 内的一系列先进武器装备。这一举动无疑是在中美关系中投下了一颗"重磅炸弹"。目前来看，这一决定可能导致中美关税战"休战期"提前结束，因为中国已 经表示了强烈反应。接下来，中美之间可能会展开一场更为激烈的对抗。 对。日本的经济在中日关系恶化的背景下已经承受了巨大压力，民众对于高市政府增税卖武器的做法感到非常不满，并且进行了示威抗议。民众认为，税金 应该用于民生而不是扩军，因此誓言要反对高市政府的这一决策。 自从中日关系恶化以来，日本社会各界就受到了影响，要求高市政府下台的声音越来越 大。而高市此时出台的增税政策，更是让民众的反感情绪达到了顶点。特朗普虽然希望通过对日本的支持来缓解其压力，但这一做法恐怕既无法拯救高市， 反而可能会引来中国方面的强烈反制。在这种背景下，特朗普的政治局势可能会面临新的挑战。 如果我们从特朗普批准对台军售的角度来看，这一决定无疑能让美国的军火商受益，股市指数有可能随之上涨。然而，美国国会批准对菲律宾的贷款援助， 却是一项"赔本买卖"。即使菲律宾获得 ...

这种"代理人战争"论调虽不新鲜，但此次俄高层强调"受害者"身份置换。俄乌冲突中，若没有北约东 扩，没有欧洲诸国递刀拱火、压缩俄罗斯生存空间，战争或许不会发生。欧洲列强宁肯当走卒不当棋 手，实则是自挖陷阱。 说到底，欧洲部分势力还是想融入所谓"欧洲圈子"，只是表述较为委婉罢了。俄乌冲突，没有北约东 扩，没有欧洲诸国的递刀拱火、压缩俄罗斯生存空间，这场战争有吗？宁肯当走卒不当棋手，这就是欧 洲列强挖坑自埋！说白了，还是想融入欧洲。只是拐弯抹角表达罢了。 当地时间12月19日下午俄罗斯总统年度记者会上，面对BBC记者尖锐提问，俄高层未愤怒咆哮，而是抛 出一道出人意料的地缘政治算术题。俄高层核心逻辑清晰：若欧洲愿与俄罗斯联手，按购买力平价计 算，俄欧经济体量将轻松超越某大国；反之，若欧洲继续给某大国当马前卒，与俄罗斯作对，最终结局 只能是"消失"。 在回应"俄罗斯对西方发动战争"的指责时，俄高层用东方式逻辑反驳，称不是俄方在与对方打仗，而是 对方通过特定民族主义者之手与俄作战。在俄高层叙事里，从未将"西方"整体视为敌人，而是试图巧妙 切割"欧洲国家"与"盎格鲁 - 撒克逊集团"（主要指美英）。其潜台词是，这场战争是某 ...
