But such charges are partisan political rhetoric, with little basis in rigorous policy analysis. It is more accurate to see the current mood as a swing of the US foreign policy pendulum between what Columbia University’s Stephen Sestanovich has called “maximalist” policies and “retrenchment” policies.
但这些指责只是党派政治论调，并没有多少严格的政策分析基础。更准确地说，应该将当前情绪看作美国外交政策在哥伦比亚大学的史蒂芬·塞斯塔诺维奇（Stephen Sestanovich）所谓的“纲领”（maximalist）政策和“紧缩”（maximalist）政策之间的摇摆。
