Nowhere is this more clearly reflected than in the case of Syria. What was supposed to be a coordinated effort to protect civilians from ruthless repression and advance a peaceful transition – the plan developed by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan – has now degenerated into a proxy war between the United States and Russia.
这一点在叙利亚表现的最为清楚。本应是旨在保护公民不受残酷镇压、促进叙利亚走向和平过渡的联合行动——由联合国前秘书长科菲·安南主导——目前已经沦为了一场美国和俄罗斯之间的代理战争。
