The logic is misguided, but it is easy enough to grasp. Ukraine’s poorly equipped army cannot on its own inflict enough pain on the Russian-backed separatist insurgency to force an effective ceasefire that might lead to a negotiated truce. So America should help by sending defensive weapons, and some lethal ones too. Once body bags start arriving in Russian towns (the theory goes) President Vladimir Putin will relent, fearing a backlash from a public already unnerved by soaring inflation.
这套理论在逻辑上是错误的，但它不难让人理解。乌克兰装备简陋的军队不可能依靠自己的力量对俄罗斯支持的分裂主义叛军造成足够大的打击，从而迫使后者在事实上停火——这可能会让双方坐下来谈判以实现休战。因此美国应该帮助提供防御性武器，以及一些致命性攻击武器。还有，一旦装尸袋开始运抵俄罗斯城镇，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)将会变得收敛，以免引发已经因通胀飙升而紧张不安的公众的反弹。
