主题: 如果乌克兰获胜，美国有什么好处？

What is the benefit of America if Ukraine wins?

答主：Dima Vorobiev, Former Propaganda Executive at Soviet Union (1980–1991)

“What is the benefit of America if Ukraine wins?”
“如果乌克兰获胜，美国有什么好处？”

1. China’s biggest strategic ally will be greatly weakened. Also, many in Moscow will quietly wonder, if Xi hasn’t given us a hand, maybe we’ve chosen the wrong ally?
1、中国最大的战略盟友会被极大地削弱。同时，莫斯科的许多人会悄悄怀疑，如果习没有没帮我们一把会怎么样？我们会不会选错了盟友？

2. American weapon exports get a huge boost at the expense of Russian and Chinese ones.
2、美国武器出口以俄罗斯和中国同行为代价，得到巨大推进。

3. The infamy of the US defeat in Afghanistan will be much forgotten. No wonder the Reps are too afraid Biden would bankroll this big time ahead of the ’24 elections. Another war won without a single shot! Sun Tzu would be mightily impressed.
3、美国在阿富汗被击败的狼狈名声会被大大遗忘。无怪于共和党人在害怕拜登在2024年选举之前大力向提供乌克兰金援。又一场不开一枪就赢得的胜利！孙子对此非常佩服。

Below, a cartoon from our seasoned propagandist Vitaly Podvitsky from a few years back. A NATO man shows some nuclear device to someone vaguely resembling President Putin: “Afraid? —No!”. The two are standing atop a mobile Russian missile. It’s immensely bigger than the puny NATO contraption.
下面是我们经验丰富的宣传工作者Vitaly Podvitsky几年之前画的卡通画。一个北约的人正在向另一个长得有点像普京总统的人展示一些核武器：“害怕吗？——不！”。这两个人正站在一个可移动的俄罗斯导弹上。它比北约微不足道的奇技淫巧要巨大得多。

The tale of Russian superiority over the haughty but impotent West is the foundation stone of our propaganda. It also dovetails with the story of the Chinese economy beating the conflict-ridden, crises-prone Western market liberalism any day.
对俄罗斯相较于傲慢又重要的西方的优越性的论述是我们宣传工作的基石。它同样与中国经济击败每天矛盾重重、危机频发的西方自由市场的故事相吻合。

If we lose in Ukraine (we’re fighting NATO there, remember? That’s why it’s such a grind) this foundation gets a bit wobbly. Former “president” Medvedev promised to punish ICC with a precision missile. How can we be sure our missile is precise or can fly at all?
如果我们在乌克兰失败（我们正在那里和北约战斗，记得吗？这就是它为何是个苦差事的原因），这个基础就会变得有些晃动。前“总统”梅德韦杰夫承诺用精准制导导弹惩戒国际刑事法庭。我们怎么确定我们的导弹是不是精确的，或者根本起飞不了？

回复: 如果乌克兰获胜，美国有什么好处？

The Chinese economy cannot exist without the West. They aren’t making pencils, but somewhat sophisticated products. And you need wealthy countries to trade with.
中国经济不能离开西方单独存在。他们不是在做铅笔，而是有些精密的产品。你需要和富裕的国家来做贸易。

This was true 2,000 years ago and it’s true today: You get rich by selling to the rich. The poor have nothing to offer.
这句话2000年前适用，今天也一样适用：把东西卖给富人，你也会变得富有。穷人没有什么可以提供的。

Russia faces slow, if not stunted growth and living standards, for decades. I saw this in the 70s. History is soon to repeat itself.
数十年来，俄罗斯面临着缓慢、乃至于发育不良的增长和生活水平。我在70年代就看过这些。历史很快就会重演。

Dima Vorobiev

The export orientation of the Chinese economy is certainly holding them back from stepping into our mess.
中国经济的出口导向性无疑阻止了他们陷入我们的困境。

Vinay Murlidhar

Trade and industry are the paths to national greatness and strength. Not the hollow tales of conquest and glory. It is to the credit of the Chinese that the ruling circles in China are not in thrall to these false chimera.
贸易和工业是国家通向富强的道路，关于征服与荣耀的空洞故事则不是。值得赞扬的是，中国的统治圈子没有受到这些虚假妄想的控制。

It is a lesson that Russia needs to understand.
这是俄罗斯必须理解的一课。
