What looked like a coup for Russia in interfering in the US election is backfiring. Moscow’s electoral hacking may have helped its favoured candidate reach the White House — even if Donald Trump is not quite the “Siberian candidate” it expected. But Michael Flynn’s resignation as national security adviser after his ill-advised and potentially illegal dealings with Russia’s US ambassador to the US, make any reset or “grand bargain” with President Vladimir Putin less likely.
俄罗斯干预美国大选看起来干得漂亮,如今却在产生反效果。莫斯科方面实施的黑客攻击可能帮助其青睐的候选人成功入主了白宫——即使唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)不太像其所期待的“来自西伯利亚的候选人”。但白宫国家安全顾问迈克尔•弗林(Michael Flynn)因与俄罗斯驻美大使进行不明智且可能违法的谈话而辞职,已经降低了美俄关系“重置”、特朗普与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)达成“重大协议”的可能性。
