Thirty-six years ago, Richard Nixon and Mao Zedong turned world politics upside down, as both America and China realized that it was the Soviet Union, and not each other, that posed the greater threat. Vladimir Putin needs his own “Nixon moment.”
36年前，当美中两国意识到是苏联、而非各自两国构成更大威胁的时候，尼克松和毛泽东把世界政治搞得天翻地覆。普京需要其自己的“尼克松时刻”。当对俄国最大的长期威胁来自东方的时候，与西方分离是一项愚蠢的战略。
