如果俄罗斯正变成像拿破仑统治下的革命法国那样，或者回归到苏维埃的形态 — — 虽然被剥夺了极权主义的意识形态，但是具有征服和再征服的欲望 — — 需要的东西不是一些美国保守分子支持的“民主联盟 ” 。
If Russia is becoming what revolutionary France was under Napoleon, or reverting to Soviet form – shorn of a totalitarian ideology but with an appetite for conquest and re-conquest – what is needed is not the “league of democracies” advocated by some conservatives in America.
