奥巴马新外交政策:欧洲信条:太过愚蠢,不够严肃
背景中是一架F-16战机，美国总统奥巴马6月3号抵达华沙并发表讲话。
What to make of the 'new' Obama foreign policy doctrine?
如何理解“新的”奥巴马外交政策原则？
In a previous RT article I called it the "Take it to the Morgue – Quietly" doctrine – as it ostensibly privileges shadow wars instead of "Shock and Awe."
在早先我发表在RT的一篇文章上，我称之为“把它放进太平间——安静地”原则，因为从表面上来看，奥巴马的外交政策新原则更喜欢采用影子战争，而非“震慑”。
Then, in another article, I showed how much the still exceptionalist doctrine borrows from prime neo-con (and conceptualizer of the war on Iraq) Robert Kagan – husband of the notorious Victoria, Queen of Nulandistan.
而在另一篇文章中，我提到了这种例外主义依然鲜明的新原则从主要的新保守主义者（以及对伊拉克战争进行概念化的人）罗伯特卡根那里取了多少经——他是臭名昭著的美国国务院发言人维多利亚·纽兰达的丈夫，而维多利亚·纽兰达被称为“纽兰达斯坦女皇”。
But that was definitely too conceptual. In fact, as peddled off the record by the White House, the "doctrine" is nothing but a prosaic "Don't Do Stupid S**t," a denomination fully adopted by The New York Times
但是这也太过概念化了。事实上，私下里，白宫把这一“原则”称为一个平凡的“不要做蠢事”原则，而《纽约时报》完全采用这种说法。
Stupid s**t though, doesn't even begin to describe Obama’s first act after announcing the doctrine last week at West Point. For those who don't get the message, one picture is enough to tell the whole story; Obama and the Polish president in front of an F-16 exhibition at a military airport near Warsaw.
虽然说他是蠢 ，显然还是不够描述奥巴马在西点军校的声明之后的行动。对于那些还是不懂的人们，一张图就足够说明了：奥巴马和波兰总统在华沙周围的一个军事机场中的展会见面，背景是F-16战机。
Stupid s**t also irretrievably takes a backseat to serious s**t during Obama's current European tour. We just need to examine what's in store at the selected pit stops.
在奥巴马目前的欧洲之旅中，比起严肃性来说，愚蠢却居于主要地位了。我们需要看看这次奥巴马的访问都会发生哪些事情。
First is Warsaw – whose nervous poodle, US vassal government is absolutely hysterical over an imminent Russian "threat." Then it’s the G7 in Brussels – the "ex-G8," from which Russia was expelled by the self-proclaimed "great powers." One of the items in the agenda is the possibility of slapping even more sanctions over Moscow's “threat” to the Ukraine.
首先，华沙-——美国紧张的贵宾犬。作为美国的附庸，波兰对于俄罗斯迫在眉睫的威胁几近歇斯底里。然后是布鲁塞尔的G7峰会，先前是G8，但俄罗斯被这些自称的“大国”给踢了出去。其中的一项议程是促进制裁项目以应对莫斯科对乌克兰的“威胁”。
And then there are the ceremonies over the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings. It was the Soviet Union that essentially defeated Nazi Germany; "the West "only finished the job. Stalin’s generals should have easily entered Berlin; they didn't because Stalin was afraid of ruffling Allied feathers at Yalta (and then the whole post-war scenario would have been a completely different story).
同时，是诺曼底登陆70周年纪念日。打败纳粹德国的其实是苏联，“西方”只是收尾罢了，斯大林的将领们本可以轻易的拿下柏林，没这样做的原因只是斯大林怕惹怒了在雅尔塔的党羽（否则的话，战后的情景就完全是另外一回事了）
Check it out: the whole, fascinating process becomes quite visible by mixing Vojtech Mastny's "Russia's Road to the Cold War. Diplomacy, Warfare and the Politics of Communism, 1941-1945,"with Vladislav Zubok’s and Constantine Pleshakov's "Inside the Kremlin’s Cold War."
过来看看：沃依特赫.迈斯特尼的《俄罗斯的冷战、外交、冲突和共产主义政治之路，1941—1945》加上弗拉季斯拉夫. 佐布克和康斯坦丁.普列沙罗夫的《直抵克里姆林宫的冷战内部》，看了这两本书后，你就会对整个过程有一个清晰的了解了。
Now a serious World War II event like the Normandy landings has been marred by – what else – stupid s**t.
如今一个严肃的第二次世界大战事件如诺曼底登陆却被愚蠢所包围。
Because Barack the First simply cannot be in the same room with Vladimir Putin – as he would have no teleprompter to guide him – French President Francois Hollande must host two dinners in a row on Thursday. This was essentially leaked to American media by one of Obama’s foreign policy advisers, the astounding mediocrity Ben Rhodes.
就因为奥巴马不能同时与普京出现在同一个房间里，所以法国总统奥朗德不得不连续举办两场晚宴。这其实是奥巴马的一名外交政策顾问透露给媒体的，他就是平庸之才罗德斯。
And the most startling absurdity is that all this is taking place with the background of a Kiev-conducted, Washington-enabled "anti-terrorist operation" – for instance in Lugansk – where civilian "collateral damage" is being framed as the culprit. Neo-Nazis are positively gloating – in their graves or in their contemporary balaclavas.
最荒谬的地方在于这一切发生之时正值乌克兰在美国的支持下开展“反恐行动”——比如在卢甘斯克——由于反恐行动，对那里的居民产生了大量的“附带伤害”，而美乌却认为这些居民正是罪人。新纳粹主义正在沾沾自喜——有的在坟墓里，有的戴着假面具。
Just follow the gun-crazy money
Obama's waltz at Warsaw came with the promise of a $1 billion hammer – as The Saker aptly summarized it. This is being sold – with the US Congress virtually certain to approve it - as a "security plan" for Eastern Europe, code for more deployment of US troops, fighter jets and battleships.
The White House, in yet another classic of Orwellian newspeak, explained this "European Reassurance Initiative"as a response to the (non-existent) Russian “threat” at the Ukrainian border. So the answer must be more US Navy action in NATO patrols across the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, and more, hazy "aid" to non-NATO members Ukraine and Georgia.
跟随疯狂的军工资本
奥巴马在华沙的华尔兹外交在十亿美元的承诺下一锤定音——就像萨科精准的总结一样。成交！——美国国会实际上一定会同意的——作为一个东欧的“安全计划”，也就是同意派出更多的美国军队，轰炸机和战舰。
但是白宫，在又一场经典的奥威尔式新闻发布会上，解释这个“欧洲复兴计划”是对俄罗斯在乌克兰边界上（不存在的）“威胁”的回应。所以答案一定是，更多美国海军行动部署在北约的里海和黑海巡逻上，以及模糊的“支援“非北约国家乌克兰和格鲁吉亚。
Once again, terminology is key; not only we're talking about a pleasant "reassurance" in view of those "new security challenges," but most of all a very religious promise, pronounced by Obama himself, that Eastern European security is “sacrosanct.”
又一次，用辞成为关键；我们不仅仅是谈论在面对“全新安全挑战”时所需要采取的“安定”策略，更多的是一种非常宗教性的承诺，由奥巴马自己来宣布，那就是东欧安全是“神圣不可侵犯的”。
The White House was also careful to stress that all this "sacrosanct" warmongering effort in Europe will not detract from the much ballyhooed "pivoting"to Asia.
白宫同时也很小心地强调，在欧洲范围的这种“神圣不可侵犯”的好战举动不会削弱被大肆宣传的重返亚洲战略。
It takes a nanosecond to dismiss the renewed exceptionalist posturing on steroids as stupid s**t – which it is. These "measures designed to intimidate Russia" are also a half-baked Plan B, considering that Plan A – repeated provocations trying to draw Russia to “invade” Ukraine – miserably failed.
一纳秒时间就可以把这个打激素一样的例外主义姿态当成愚蠢扯淡。考虑到A计划——不断挑衅俄罗斯使之“侵略”乌克兰——悲剧地失败了，这些”针对俄国的措施“其实就是半熟的B计划。
With American imperial hubris so perversely warped, newspeak becomes a Hall of Mirrors just reflecting itself. Even in the face of daily Kiev bombing of civilians in Eastern Ukraine, Obama insists that Russia is trying to destabilize Ukraine; thus inevitably there will be more" punishment, "as in sanctions.
随着美国的帝国主义狂妄如此变态反常，新闻发布会变成了一个充满镜子的大厅，反射的只有自己。甚至面对基辅每天轰炸东乌克兰的平民，奥巴马坚持是俄罗斯在颠覆乌克兰；因此不可避免地还有更多“惩罚”，例如禁运。
Don't expect logic in what I called a few weeks ago, before the rise of stupid s**t, the Obama administration's juvenile delinquent school of diplomacy; I don't like you, I don't wanna talk to you, I want you to die.
不要指望奥巴马政府的幼稚放纵的外交策略里有任何的逻辑：我不喜欢你，我不想和你说话，我想让你死。
The counterpart to stupid s**t has been The Emperor ordering his European vassals to get their act together, stop with this silly talk of economic crisis, and shell out way more cash for their NATO protection. If that feels like coming straight from the playbook of Scorsese's "Goodfellas," that’s because it is. Only nervous poodle Poland and some other Eastern Europeans – and none of the top EU nations – devote at least 2 percent of their GNP to defense. Washington is acridly demanding an increased pound of flesh – and gold.
这种愚蠢的扯淡就类似，皇帝命令他的欧洲诸侯们行动起来，停止讨论愚蠢的经济危机，出更多钱来履行北约的安全职责。如果这感觉起来像斯科塞斯的《好伙伴》的台词，那是因为这就是。只有紧张的狮子狗波兰和一些其他的东欧国家——没有一个是一流的欧洲国家——的国防费用至少达到了GNP的2%。华盛顿正刻薄向他们要人员和金子。
And right on cue, NATO's outgoing secretary-general, the vain, vapid Dane Anders "Fogh of War" Rasmussen, praised The Emperor's wisdom.
果然不出所料，北约的秘书长、虚荣的、乏味的拉缪森紧接着就赞扬了皇帝的睿智。
By the way, it's never enough to remember that all-powerful NATO has had its collective behind royally kicked in Afghanistan by the Kalashnikov-armed descendants of generations of true mountain (and desert) warriors. Still, NATO is assuming that Afghanistan's new president – to be elected in a runoff by the end of next week – will duly sign a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) that will allow a “residual” perennial NATO deployment to be enshrined at NATO’s upcoming summit in September.
顺便一提，不要忘记强大的北约曾经在阿富汗被卡拉什尼科夫冲锋枪武装的山地（和沙漠）战士后代狠狠地教训过。现在北约却依然假定阿富汗的新总统——下周末即将选举产生——会老实地签订《驻军地位协定》，从而允许“残余”的北约部队常年驻扎。
What the Don't Do Stupid S**t doctrine does reveal, so far, is that the 1997 NATO-Russia partnership agreement – which stipulates no "substantial and permanent" troops and bases in Eastern Europe – is now all but dead.
到目前为止，“不要扯淡”的原则确实表明，1997年北约俄罗斯合作协议——禁止在东欧建立“实质和永久性的”军队和基地——如今已然全部失效。
The doctrine also reveals that the only ones "reassured" by the new security initiative will be a bunch of revolving Euro-bureaucrats/plutocrats in Brussels – who will profit from the upcoming showering of green bills out of Uncle Sam's printing presses. We just need to follow the gun-crazy money to see which way imperial stupid s**t is blowing.
这个原则同时也揭示了那些因新安全计划而“安心”的人只能是一群团团转的布鲁塞尔欧盟官僚和财阀。他们即将在山姆大叔的印钞机里获益。我们只要跟着这些军工资本走就能看见帝国主义势力的扯淡。
Well, at least the adults are meeting – in another room, to discuss serious s**t. In Normandy on Friday, Putin meets with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Call it progress, compared to 70 years ago.
额，至少成年人在谈判——在另一间屋子里，谈论一些严肃的蛋疼话题。周五在诺曼底，普金将和德国总理安吉拉默克尔见面。这才是进展，至少对比七十年前。
