Many of Ukraine's allies couldn’t stomach the one sacrifice it would take to cause Putin real harm

戰勝者/和平獎，一無所獲 川普化解零場戰爭......
//唯一可行的答案是加入北約或類似組織——這項協議將迫使西方聯盟（或任何剩餘的聯盟）竭盡全力保衛烏克蘭。普丁一直將達成此類協議的可能性視為他對烏克蘭發動戰爭的「根本原因」。可以肯定的是，普丁將拒絕任何涉及真正承諾為烏克蘭提供安全的協議。The only plausible answer would be membership in NATO or its equivalent — an agreement that would obligate the Western alliance, or whatever is left of it, to defend Ukraine to the full extent of its abilities. Putin has consistently cited the very possibility of such an agreement as the “root cause” of his war against Ukraine. It is a safe bet that Putin will reject any agreement that involves a real promise of security for Ukraine.
......亞美尼亞和亞塞拜然之間的衝突（同上，但雙方確實前往白宮簽署了協議）；柬埔寨和泰國（美國支持的談判最終達成停火，但不一定意味著衝突結束）；以色列和伊朗（川普聲稱透過投擲掩體炸彈阻止了核戰）。實際上，這是七個。但同時也是零個。
And that brings me to the number “six” — something Trump kept invoking on Monday, when he claimed that he had resolved that many wars in his first seven months in office. ......That’s actually seven. But also, none.//
