Presumably, none of this will happen, and it is precisely such inaction that is, in large part, the cause of Russia’s strength and Europe’s weakness. At the same time, however, one shouldn’t lose sight of the joint interests linking Russia and the West.
很可能上述任何一项都不会发生。很大程度上，就是因为如此的不作为，才促成了俄罗斯的强大和欧洲的弱势。但是，我们同时也不能对联系俄罗斯和西方的共同利益视而不见。我们应该尽可能地维持合作的关系。
