Obama看中东外交：
I have come to believe that, in Obama’s mind, August 30, 2013, was his
liberation day, the day he defied not only the foreign-policy establishment
and its cruise-missile playbook, but also the demands of America’s
frustrating, high-maintenance allies in the Middle East—countries, he
complains privately to friends and advisers, that seek to exploit American
“muscle” for their own narrow and sectarian ends. By 2013, Obama’s
resentments were well developed. He resented military leaders who believed
they could fix any problem if the commander in chief would simply give them
what they wanted, and he resented the foreign-policy think-tank complex. A
widely held sentiment inside the White House is that many of the most
prominent foreign-policy think tanks in Washington are doing the bidding of
their Arab and pro-Israel funders. I’ve heard one administration official
refer to Massachusetts Avenue, the home of many of these think tanks, as “
Arab-occupied territory.”
美帝国主义是个比较好的帝国主义：
“For all of our warts, the United States has clearly been a force for good
in the world,” he said. “If you compare us to previous superpowers, we act
less on the basis of naked self-interest, and have been interested in
establishing norms that benefit everyone. If it is possible to do good at a
bearable cost, to save lives, we will do it.”
重视亚洲：
For Obama, Asia represents the future. Africa and Latin America, in his view
, deserve far more U.S. attention than they receive. Europe, about which he
is unromantic, is a source of global stability that requires, to his
occasional annoyance, American hand-holding. And the Middle East is a region
to be avoided—one that, thanks to America’s energy revolution, will soon
be of negligible relevance to the U.S. economy.
还记得大家panic over Ebola吗？当时是怎么骂Obama不肯实行travel ban？
“During the couple of months in which everybody was sure Ebola was going to
destroy the Earth and there was 24/7 coverage of Ebola, if I had fed the
panic or in any way strayed from ‘Here are the facts, here’s what needs to
be done, here’s how we’re handling it, the likelihood of you getting
Ebola is very slim, and here’s what we need to do both domestically and
overseas to stamp out this epidemic,’ ” then “maybe people would
have said ‘Obama is taking this as seriously as he needs to be.’ ”
But feeding the panic by overreacting could have shut down travel to and
from three African countries that were already cripplingly poor, in ways
that might have destroyed their economies—which would likely have meant,
among other things, a recurrence of Ebola. He added, “It would have also
meant that we might have wasted a huge amount of resources in our public-
health systems that need to be devoted to flu vaccinations and other things
that actually kill people” in large numbers in America.
越南对中帝国主义的恐惧和对策：
Administration officials have repeatedly hinted to me that Vietnam may one
day soon host a permanent U.S. military presence, to check the ambitions of
the country it now fears most, China.
Putin：
Obama said that Putin believes his relationship with the U.S. is more
important than Americans tend to think. “He’s constantly interested in
being seen as our peer and as working with us, because he’s not completely
stupid. He understands that Russia’s overall position in the world is
significantly diminished. And the fact that he invades Crimea or is trying
to prop up Assad doesn’t suddenly make him a player. You don’t see him in
any of these meetings out here helping to shape the agenda.
中国：
“In terms of traditional great-state relations, I do believe that the
relationship between the United States and China is going to be the most
critical,” he said. “If we get that right and China continues on a
peaceful rise, then we have a partner that is growing in capability and
sharing with us the burdens and responsibilities of maintaining an
international order. If China fails; if it is not able to maintain a
trajectory that satisfies its population and has to resort to nationalism as
an organizing principle; if it feels so overwhelmed that it never takes on
the responsibilities of a country its size in maintaining the international
order; if it views the world only in terms of regional spheres of influence
—then not only do we see the potential for conflict with China, but we will
find ourselves having more difficulty dealing with these other challenges
that are going to come.”
“I think we have to be firm where China’s actions are undermining
international interests, and if you look at how we’ve operated in the South
China Sea, we have been able to mobilize most of Asia to isolate China in
ways that have surprised China, frankly, and have very much served our
interest in strengthening our alliances.”
A weak, flailing Russia constitutes a threat as well, though not quite a top
