Еще одна Русская Весна

Понравился термин -- "Trump’s Russian spring".

Это из статьи "Congress may spoil Trump’s Russian reset".

По поводу заголовка... Ну, good luck with that, конечно, только сомневаюсь я, что получится.

Before Trump takes the oath of office, McCain and Graham will lead a congressional delegation to Ukraine, Georgia and Estonia to reassure these European partners that Washington is still committed to confronting Russian aggression. Starting in January, the pair will hold a series of hearings highlighting Russia’s transgressions around the world, including war crimes in Syria, cyberattacks, propaganda campaigns and threats to Baltic states.

In addition, Graham has said he wants to use his chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Foreign Operations subcommittee to steer new funds to European allies for battling Moscow.

Дело хорошее, но, опять же, сомневаюсь я, что что-то получится. То есть съездить-то получится...

But most Russia experts believe that Trump’s outreach to Putin will eventually become politically unpalatable for Trump because he will soon realize he is getting a bad bargain. That’s because the strategy of political interference is ingrained in Russian foreign policy, part of a long-term strategy to undermine the stability and confidence of liberal Western democracies.

“The new administration will likely get burned by Russia at some point, even if there is a cozying up,” said Alina Polyakova, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. A new report by the council details how Russia has been using a combination of overt and covert means to foster the rise of pro-Russian political parties in several Western European countries, including Britain, France and Germany.

Это, по-моему, было бы верно, если бы Трамп и его сторонники были обеспокоены the stability and confidence of liberal Western democracies. Но они не только этим не обеспокоены, они, наоборот, сами рады разрушать эти stability and confidence.

Учитывая это, как will они get burned"?

“Moscow views the West’s virtues — pluralism and openness — as vulnerabilities to be exploited,” former Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski writes in the forward to the report. “The Kremlin’s blatant attempts to influence and disrupt the U.S. presidential election should serve as an inspiration for a democratic push back.”

Опять же, Moscow тут с Трампом on the same page.
