  • 英国首相基尔·斯塔默在地方选举遭遇惨败后面临辞职呼声


    2026年5月9日 / 美国东部时间上午9:54 / 美联社

    英国首相基尔·斯塔默承诺重振其陷入困境的政府，但在其领导的工党遭遇一系列灾难性地方和区域选举后，要求他辞职的呼声日益高涨。

    随着最终结果于周六出炉，工党在英格兰各地失去了1000个地方议会席位，并在执政27年后丧失了在威尔士的执政权。反移民政党改革英国党在英格兰各地赢得了近1300个席位，在威尔士位居第二，并在苏格兰取得重大突破。

    此次选举被广泛视为对斯塔默的非正式公投，选民给出了明确的评判。自不到两年前带领这个中左翼政党上台以来，斯塔默的支持率已大幅下滑。

    斯塔默坚称他不会辞职，不会“让国家陷入混乱”，而此次糟糕的选举结果并未立刻引发对其领导地位的挑战。

    “正确的做法是重建并指明前进的道路，”斯塔默周六表示，“这就是我未来几天要做的事。”

    工党议员敦促斯塔默设定离职时间表

    斯塔默的内阁同僚表达了支持，被视为潜在挑战者的知名工党政客目前均未采取行动。卫生大臣韦斯·斯特里廷、前副首相安吉拉·雷纳以及大曼彻斯特市长安迪·伯纳姆目前都保持沉默。

    但越来越多的工党议员敦促首相制定今年离职的时间表。英国政坛允许政党在任期内更换领导人，无需重新举行大选。

    “必须制定时间表，”议员克莱夫·贝茨告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的合作媒体英国广播公司新闻。另一名议员托尼·沃恩表示，应该实现“有序的领导层交接”。

    斯塔默周六试图通过召回两位前工党政府人物来展现变革。他任命前首相戈登·布朗为全球金融特别代表，并任命该党前副领袖哈丽特·哈曼为妇女与女童事务顾问。

    斯塔默定于周一发表演讲，试图重拾势头，随后政府将于周三在查尔斯三世国王发表的议会开幕大典演讲中公布其立法计划。

    此次选举对于由资深民族主义政治家奈杰尔·法拉奇领导的极右翼政党改革英国党来说是一次突破。

    该党以反建制和反移民为竞选纲领，在英格兰北部工党占据数十年的传统票仓，如桑德兰等地的工人阶级选区赢得了数百个地方议会席位。它还在伦敦东部的埃塞克斯郡等地区从保守党手中夺取了席位。

    法拉奇表示，此次选举结果标志着“英国政坛的历史性变革”。他说，他相信“投奔我们的选民并非只是进行短期抗议”。

    改革英国党目前在议会650个席位中仅占8席，尚不清楚其能否在全国大选中复制此次成功。

    此次选举让苏格兰和威尔士出现了由支持独立和英国解体的政党领导的半自治政府——尽管两者都未将该政策作为首要议题。

    经济困境是工党困境的核心

    经济问题是工党困境的核心，对许多现任政府来说亦是如此。

    工党结束了因紧缩政策和新冠疫情陷入混乱的14年保守党执政时期后，一直难以在乌克兰战争以及近期伊朗局势带来的严峻经济背景下缓解生活成本危机并激活疲软的经济。斯塔默还因削减福利开支的举措激怒了支持者，在工党议员的反对下，部分削减措施已被撤销。

    部分工党人士表示，政府在租户保护和提高最低工资等方面的成就未被民众注意到。许多人将矛头指向斯塔默，称其作为领导人缺乏感染力，且被多起丑闻分散精力，其中包括任命杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的丑闻缠身的好友彼得·曼德尔森为英国驻华盛顿大使的灾难性决定。

    但在英格兰北部巴恩斯利议会（工党在此输给了改革英国党）的卸任领袖斯蒂芬·霍顿表示，问题“远比首相本人更深层”。

    “这一情况在全国范围内已经酝酿了30年，在后工业社区和沿海社区，这些地方被抛在了后面，”他说，“你可以随时更换首相。但如果你不改变政策，一切都不会改变。”

    此次选举结果反映出英国政坛在经历数十年工党和保守党主导的局面后出现了分裂，保守党也在周四的选举中遭遇重大损失。

    此次选举为选民提供了多元化的选择，包括中间派的自由民主党以及苏格兰和威尔士的民族主义政党。

    但最大的赢家是民粹主义新锐政党改革英国党和绿党。在自称为“生态民粹主义者”的领袖扎克·波兰斯基的领导下，绿党的关注点已从环境扩展到社会正义和巴勒斯坦事业。绿党在城市中心和大学城从工党手中赢得了数百个议会席位，并掌控了多个地方当局。

    伦敦政治经济学院政府学教授托尼·特拉弗斯表示，此次选举结果表明，原定于2029年举行的下一次全国大选不会有任何政党获得多数席位。

    “那么大选后你将面临的局面是，两到三个大型少数党试图协商如何执政，”他说——这在传统上被认为是“非常不符合英国特色”的。

    U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces calls to resign after disastrous local elections

    May 9, 2026 / 9:54 AM EDT / AP

    British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged to revive his struggling government but faced growing calls to resign after a disastrous set of local and regional elections for his Labour Party.

    As the final results came in Saturday, Labour had lost 1,000 local council seats across England and was booted from power in Wales after 27 years. Anti-immigration party Reform U.K. won almost 1,300 seats across England, came second in Wales and made significant gains in Scotland.

    It was a blunt verdict from voters in elections widely seen as an unofficial referendum on Starmer, whose popularity has plummeted since he led the center-left party to power less than two years ago.

    Starmer insisted he would not walk away and “plunge the country into chaos,” and the dire election results did not produce an immediate challenge to his leadership.

    “The right thing to do is rebuild and show the path forward,” Starmer said Saturday. “That’s what I’m going to do in the coming days.”

    Labour lawmakers urge Starmer to set timetable for departure

    Starmer’s Cabinet colleagues expressed support, and none of the high-profile Labour politicians considered potential challengers has made a move. Health Secretary Wes Streeting, former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham are keeping quiet for now.

    But a growing number of Labour lawmakers urged the prime minister to set a timetable for his departure this year. British politics allows parties to change leader midterm without the need for a new election.

    “There has to be a timetable,” legislator Clive Betts told CBS News partner BBC News. Another lawmaker, Tony Vaughan, said there should be an “orderly transition of leadership.”

    Starmer tried to demonstrate change on Saturday by bringing back two figures from past Labour governments. He made former Prime Minister Gordon Brown a special envoy on global finance, and appointed the party’s ex-deputy leader Harriet Harman an adviser on women and girls.

    Starmer is due to make a speech on Monday in an attempt to regain momentum, before the government sets out its legislative plans on Wednesday in a speech delivered by King Charles III at the State Opening of Parliament.

    The elections were a breakthrough for Reform UK, the latest hard-right party led by the veteran nationalist politician Nigel Farage.

    Running on an anti-establishment and anti-immigration message, the party won hundreds of local council seats in working-class areas in England’s north, such as Sunderland, that were solid Labour turf for decades. It also made gains from the Conservatives in areas like the county of Essex, east of London.

    Farage said the results marked a “historic change in British politics.” He said he’s confident that “voters who have come to us are not doing it as a short-term protest.”

    Reform UK currently holds just eight of the 650 seats in Parliament and it’s unclear whether it could repeat its success in a national election.

    The elections produced semiautonomous administrations in Scotland and Wales led by parties devoted to independence and the breakup of the United Kingdom – though neither has that policy on the front burner.

    Economic woes lie at heart of Labour’s troubles

    The economy lies at the heart of Labour’s troubles, as it does for many incumbent governments.

    Since ending 14 years of Conservative rule roiled by austerity and the Covid-19 pandemic, Labour has struggled to ease the cost of living and jump-start a sluggish economy against the tough economic backdrop of war in Ukraine and, more recently, Iran. Starmer also has angered supporters with attempts to cut welfare spending, some of which were reversed after Labour revolts.

    Some in Labour say the government’s achievements, including protections for renters and a higher minimum wage, are going unnoticed. Many blame Starmer, an uninspiring leader distracted by scandals including his disastrous decision to appoint Peter Mandelson, a scandal-tarnished friend of Jeffrey Epstein, as Britain’s ambassador to Washington.

    But Stephen Houghton, the outgoing leader of Barnsley council in northern England, where Labour lost to Reform, said the problem “goes deeper than the prime minister.”

    “This has been coming for 30 years around the country, in post-industrial communities, coastal communities, that have been left behind,” he said. “You can change prime ministers all day long. If you don’t change policy, it’s not going to charge.”

    The results reflect a fragmentation of U.K. politics after decades of domination by Labour and the Conservative Party, which also suffered major losses on Thursday.

    The elections offered voters a rainbow of choices, including the centrist Liberal Democrats and the nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales.

    But the big winners were populist insurgents, Reform UK and the Green Party, whose focus has expanded from the environment to social justice and the Palestinian cause under self-described “eco populist” leader Zack Polanski. The Greens won hundreds of council seats from Labour in urban centers and university towns and took control of several local authorities.

    Tony Travers, professor of government at the London School of Economics, said the results suggest the next national election, due by 2029, won’t produce a majority for any party.

    “So then you’re in the world of, after the election, two or three big minority parties trying to work out how they would govern,” he said — something traditionally considered “very un-British.”

    一艘印度船在霍尔木兹海峡附近起火沉没 一死四伤

    2026年5月9日 21:20 / 联合早报

    据印度媒体及印度驻迪拜领事馆消息，一艘印度木质帆船在霍尔木兹海峡附近起火沉没，造成一名印度水手死亡，四人受伤。

    综合《印度时报》、新德里电视台以及《印度斯坦时报》等媒体消息，涉事船只星期四（5月7日）离开迪拜前往也门一处港口。17名印度籍船员由一艘经过事发海域的船只救起，其中四人烧伤。伤者正在迪拜接受治疗，目前情况稳定。

    中国新闻社引述印度驻迪拜领事馆称，该馆工作人员8日晚与获救的印度公民碰面。馆方正与涉事船只的船东保持联系以核实更多细节，同时向受影响的船员提供帮助。

    目前，印度当局正在调查船只起火原因。

  • 若核谈判破裂，美国军方针对伊朗的破坏计划


    2026年5月9日 美国东部时间10:13 / 福克斯新闻

    一名退役陆军军官警告称，双方的信任起点均为“负1000”，令谈判进程极度脆弱
    作者：摩根·菲利普斯 福克斯新闻
    发布于2026年5月9日上午10:13 美国东部时间

    如果与伊朗的谈判破裂，美国可能会迅速采取行动削弱德黑兰的军事能力——分析人士称，这场行动将先从导弹系统、海军资产和指挥网络入手，随后升级至更具争议性的目标。

    谈判代表仍在努力达成官员们所说的初步框架协议——实质上是一份一页纸的起点文件，用以启动围绕伊朗核计划和潜在制裁解除的更广泛会谈。但双方之间根深蒂固的不信任令谈判进程十分脆弱，一旦外交失败，风险将大幅上升。

    “我们不是从零开始，”曾任联合参谋部规划人员、现任全球保卫公司副总裁的退役陆军上校赛斯·克鲁姆里奇告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“双方的信任起点都是负1000，因为双方根本互不信任。未来的谈判进程会相当艰难。”

    这种紧张态势在周四显露无遗：一名美国高级官员证实，美军袭击了伊朗的格什姆港和阿巴斯港——霍尔木兹海峡附近的关键地点，同时坚称此次行动并未标志着战争重启或停火结束。

    此次对伊朗某石油港口的袭击发生在伊朗向阿联酋富查伊拉港发射15枚弹道和巡航导弹两天后，引发了海湾盟友的愤怒。美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟和参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩本周早些时候表示，此次袭击尚未达到破坏停火的程度，称其为低级别打击。

    唐纳德·特朗普总统曾多次警告，如果谈判破裂，美国可能恢复对伊朗的轰炸——甚至在最近的停火协议生效前就暗示，华盛顿可能将伊朗的能源基础设施和关键经济资产作为打击目标。但任何升级都可能分阶段进行，首先会致力于削弱伊朗在该地区投射兵力的能力，随后再扩大到更具争议性的目标。

    退役空军中将戴维·德普图拉表示，如果谈判破裂，任何重启的冲突都可能成为一场“升级控制竞赛”：伊朗会寻求在不招致威胁政权生存的报复的情况下施加代价，而美国则会努力剥夺德黑兰仅剩的谈判筹码。

    “进入视野的将是伊朗用于施加胁迫性影响力的能力：弹道导弹、巡航导弹、防空系统、海上打击资产、指挥与控制网络、伊斯兰革命卫队基础设施、代理支持渠道以及与核相关的设施，”他在提及伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队时说道。

    “军事目标将不再侧重于惩罚，而是更多地在于剥夺伊朗用于升级的工具，”他说。

    “特朗普总统握有所有筹码，他明智地保留所有选项，以确保伊朗永远无法拥有核武器，”白宫发言人奥利维亚·威尔士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。记者未能立即联系到五角基金会置评。

    早期的打击目标可能是伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡的快速攻击艇舰队——这是德黑兰威胁全球航运的核心能力之一，而霍尔木兹海峡是全球最重要的能源通道之一。
    军事与恐怖主义分析师、海军陆战队退伍军人RP·纽曼表示，在之前的袭击中保留该舰队的大部分战力是一个错误。

    伊朗剩余武器：德黑兰仍可如何扰乱霍尔木兹海峡

    “我们炸毁了其中6艘，”他说。“他们还剩大约400艘。”

    这种小型快速艇是伊朗非对称海上战略的关键组成部分，能够袭扰商业油轮和美国海军部队——在任何重启的军事行动中，它们都可能迅速成为优先打击目标。

    伊朗的核心军事结构大部分也完好无损。

    伊朗军方内部：导弹、民兵与一支旨在生存的武装力量

    纽曼称“我们只杀死了不到1%的伊斯兰革命卫队官兵”，仍有大量兵力能够执行作战任务。他估计该组织“兵力在15万至19万之间”。

    但打击伊斯兰革命卫队远比清除高级领导层复杂得多。

    “他们不是只有顶层几个领导人，你杀了他们就能解决问题，”克鲁姆里奇说。“经过47年的发展，这种影响力已经渗透到各个层级。”

    退役海军少将马克·蒙哥马利是国防民主基金会政策研究所的高级研究员，他表示，美国可能会在扩大军事行动之前继续加大经济施压力度，主张美国应“至少再施压三到六周”，再考虑采取更激进的升级措施。

    “你本可以把哈尔克岛炸得粉碎，”克鲁姆里奇在谈及伊朗位于波斯湾的主要石油出口终端时说道。“但策划者的想法是，不——我们可以实施海上封锁。效果是一样的。”

    伊朗仍在通过隐蔽航运网络和船对船转运运输原油，油轮追踪数据显示，近几周仍有数百万桶原油运往各市场。

    据《华盛顿邮报》的一篇报道，美国中央情报局的一份分析报告发现，伊朗可能能够在面临更严重经济压力之前，再维持三到四个月的此类运作。

    问题在于，如果最初的施压未能迫使伊朗做出让步，美国的军事行动可能会扩大到何种程度。

    特朗普已暗示愿意采取更严厉的行动，在停火协议生效前就警告称，如果无法达成协议，美国可能“彻底摧毁”伊朗的发电厂、石油基础设施以及哈尔克岛等关键出口枢纽。

    “你一开始不能这么做，”蒙哥马利说道，他将针对两用基础设施的打击描述为取决于伊朗反应的有条件步骤。

    针对两用基础设施的打击会面临重大的法律和行动挑战。

    “我的目标上站着500人。你不能那么打，”纽曼说。

    此类决定会带来政治和法律风险，考虑到国际社会的密切监督，这种风险尤为突出。

    扩大基础设施打击范围还可能在长期引发不稳定，如果伊朗走向内部崩溃的话。

    “短期来看或许有帮助，但从长期来看，我们所有人都将不得不应对后果，”克鲁姆里奇说。“一旦你按下那个按钮，你基本上就是在把伊朗推得离深渊边缘更近。”

    国家政权的崩溃可能会在霍尔木兹海峡地区造成失败国家的局面，武装团体、无人机和导弹在这个全球战略意义最重大的水道之一上横行无忌。

    即使是讨论最多的军事选项——比如收缴伊朗的高浓缩铀——执行起来也会极其困难。

    “这比听起来要难得多，”蒙哥马利说。

    此类任务可能需要数月时间，除了需要数千名美军操作员提供持续空中掩护外，还需要工程师、技术人员和重型挖掘设备。

    “当你把所有这些因素叠加起来，就会变得耗费资源且风险极高——甚至不是高风险，而是极高风险，”克鲁姆里奇说。

    Inside the US military playbook to cripple Iran if nuclear talks collapse

    2026-05-09 10:13 EDT / Fox News

    A retired Army officer warns both sides start ‘at minus 1,000’ in trust, making the process extremely fragile

    By Morgan Phillips Fox News

    Published May 9, 2026 10:13am EDT

    If negotiations with Iran collapse, the U.S. likely is to move quickly to degrade Tehran’s military capabilities — a campaign analysts say would begin with missile systems, naval assets and command networks before escalating to more controversial targets.

    Negotiators are still working toward what officials describe as a preliminary framework agreement — effectively a one-page starting point for broader talks centered on Iran’s nuclear program and potential sanctions relief. But deep mistrust on both sides has left the process fragile, raising the stakes if diplomacy fails.

    “We’re not starting at zero,” retired Army Col. Seth Krummrich, a former Joint Staff planner and current Vice President at Global Guardian, told Fox News Digital. “We’re both starting at minus 1,000 because neither side trusts each other at all. This is going to be a pretty hard process going forward.”

    That tension was on display Thursday, when a senior U.S. official confirmed American forces struck Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas — key locations near the Strait of Hormuz — while insisting the operation did not mark a restart of the war or the end of the ceasefire.

    The strike on one of Iran’s oil ports came two days after Iran launched 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the UAE’s Fujairah Port, drawing anger from Gulf allies. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said earlier this week the attack did not rise to the level of breaking the ceasefire, describing it as a low-level strike.

    President Donald Trump repeatedly has warned that if negotiations collapse, the U.S. could resume bombing Iran — even signaling before the recent ceasefire was implemented that Washington could target the country’s energy infrastructure and key economic assets. But any escalation would likely unfold in phases, beginning with efforts to dismantle Iran’s ability to project force across the region before expanding to more controversial targets.

    If talks break down, any renewed conflict would likely become a “contest for escalation control,” where Iran seeks to impose costs without provoking regime-threatening retaliation while the U.S. works to strip away Tehran’s remaining leverage, according to retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula.

    “The capabilities that would come into focus are the ones Iran uses to generate coercive leverage: ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, air defense systems, maritime strike assets, command-and-control networks, IRGC infrastructure, proxy support channels, and nuclear-related facilities,” he said, referring to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

    “The military objective would be less about punishment and more about denying Iran the tools it uses to escalate,” he said.

    “President Trump has all the cards, and he wisely keeps all options on the table to ensure that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon,” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital. The Pentagon could not immediately be reached for comment.

    One early focus could be Iran’s fleet of fast attack boats in the Strait of Hormuz — a central component of Tehran’s ability to threaten global shipping in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.

    RP Newman, a military and terrorism analyst and Marine Corp veteran, said leaving much of that fleet intact during earlier strikes was a mistake.

    IRAN’S REMAINING WEAPONS: HOW TEHRAN CAN STILL DISRUPT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

    “We’ve blown up six of them,” he said. “They’ve got about 400 left.”

    The small, fast-moving boats are a key part of Iran’s asymmetric maritime strategy, capable of harassing commercial tankers and U.S. naval forces — and could quickly become a priority target in any renewed campaign.

    Much of Iran’s core military structure also remains intact.

    INSIDE IRAN’S MILITARY: MISSILES, MILITIAS AND A FORCE BUILT FOR SURVIVAL

    Newman said “we’ve only killed less than one percent of IRGC troops,” leaving a large portion of the force still capable of carrying out operations. He estimated the group “numbers between 150 and 190,000.”

    But targeting the IRGC is far more complex than eliminating senior leadership.

    “They’re not just a group of leaders at the top that you can kill away,” Krummrich said. “Over 47 years it’s percolated down to every level.”

    Retired Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies policy institute, said Washington may continue tightening economic pressure before broadening military action, arguing the U.S. should “squeeze them for at least another three to six weeks” before considering more aggressive escalation.

    “You could have blown Kharg Island back to smithereens,” Krummrich said, referring to Iran’s primary oil export terminal in the Persian Gulf. “But what the planner said was, no — what we can do is a maritime blockade. It will have the same effect.”

    Iran has continued moving crude through covert shipping networks and ship-to-ship transfers, with tanker trackers reporting millions of barrels still reaching markets in recent weeks.

    A CIA analysis found Iran may be able to sustain those pressures for another three to four months before facing more severe economic strain, according to a report by The Washington Post.

    The question is how far a U.S. campaign could expand if initial pressure fails to force concessions.

    Trump has signaled a willingness to go further, warning before the ceasefire that the U.S. could “completely obliterate” Iran’s electric generating plants, oil infrastructure and key export hubs such as Kharg Island if a deal is not reached.

    “You don’t do that at first,” Montgomery said, describing strikes on dual-use infrastructure as a conditional step dependent on Iran’s response.

    Targeting dual-use infrastructure presents significant legal and operational challenges.

    “I’ve got 500 people standing on my target. You can’t hit that,” Newman said.

    Such decisions carry political and legal risks, particularly given the likelihood of international scrutiny.

    Broader infrastructure strikes also could create long-term instability if they push Iran toward internal collapse.

    “In the short term, it might help. But in the long term, we’re all going to have to deal with it,” Krummrich said. “Once you pull that lever, you’re basically pushing Iran closer to the edge of the abyss.”

    A collapse of state authority could create a failed-state scenario across the Strait of Hormuz, with armed groups, drones and missiles operating unchecked in one of the world’s most strategically important waterways.

    Even some of the most discussed military options — such as seizing Iran’s highly enriched uranium — would be extremely difficult to execute.

    “That’s much harder than it sounds,” said Montgomery.

    Such a mission would likely take months, and require engineers, technicians and heavy excavation equipment, in addition to thousands of U.S. operators providing continuous air coverage.

    “When you start to stack that up, that becomes resource intensive and high risk — not even high, extreme risk,” said Krummrich.

    俄罗斯克里姆林宫说，美国急于达成和平协议以结束乌克兰战争，但由于问题极其复杂，达成任何形式的协议都遥遥无期。

    俄罗斯和乌克兰星期五（5月8日）证实，双方已同意由美国斡旋的为期三天的停火协议，停火期从5月9日至11日。美国总统特朗普说，他希望停火协议能够延长。

    俄罗斯克里姆林宫说，美国急于达成和平协议以结束乌克兰战争，但由于问题极其复杂，达成任何形式的协议都遥遥无期。

    俄罗斯和乌克兰星期五（5月8日）证实，双方已同意由美国斡旋的为期三天的停火协议，停火期从5月9日至11日。美国总统特朗普说，他希望停火协议能够延长。

    克里姆林宫助理尤里·乌沙科夫说，停火期限仅为三天，不会延长。

    克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫告诉国家电视台记者帕维尔·扎鲁宾：“美方急于求成是可以理解的。”他说，尚无法预计这一过程需要多久，也无法预计结果会怎样。

    路透社引述佩斯科夫说：“但乌克兰问题过于复杂，达成和平协议还有很长的路要走，涉及诸多细节。”

    俄罗斯军队在乌克兰的战斗已经持续了四年多——比苏联军队在第二次世界大战（俄罗斯称之为卫国战争）中的战斗时间还要长。

    另据新华社引述意大利媒体8日的报道，美国国务卿鲁比奥当天在意大利访问期间称，美国仍愿意在乌克兰问题上担任调停方，但如果相关努力无法取得进展，美方不愿“浪费时间”。

    特朗普盼俄乌停战

    俄乌双方本周早前两次协议停火失败后，特朗普星期五（8日）在社媒贴文宣布俄乌经他斡旋同意停火三天，并各自交换1000名战俘。

    莫斯科和基辅过后都证实双方同意停火，乌克兰总统泽连斯基颁布命令，称自己“允许”俄罗斯在5月9日举行阅兵，“相对于乌克兰战俘可以回返家乡，红场并不那么重要”。

    泽连斯基也说，停火是美国谈判努力的一部分，并希望华府谈判特使可在未来几周内到访乌克兰，重启俄乌和谈。

    特朗普同天在白宫对记者说：“我希望战争能停止，以人命伤亡来看，俄乌是二战以来最惨痛的战事，每个月有2万5000名年轻士兵送死，太疯狂了。”

    不过，克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫星期六接受国营电视台访问时说：“美国方面的着急可以理解，但与乌克兰和解的课题太复杂了，要达成和平协议还很遥远，有许多复杂的细节。”

    俄罗斯总统外交政策助理乌沙科夫早前也说：“谈判或许将会恢复，但目前仍不确定会在何时。”

  • 彼得·马尔贾宣誓就任匈牙利总理，终结维克多·欧尔班的统治


    2026年5月9日 / 美国东部时间上午10:50 / 哥伦比亚广播公司/美联社

    匈牙利的彼得·马尔贾于周六宣誓就职，成为该国新任总理，终结了维克多·欧尔班长达16年的专制统治。

    马尔贾所领导的中右翼蒂萨党上月以一记令人震惊的打击击败了欧尔班的民族主义民粹主义青年民主联盟（Fidesz），在议会中获得的选票和席位数量均为匈牙利后共产主义时代各政党之最。

    此次胜选让蒂萨党在议会获得三分之二多数席位，使其得以推翻多项此前让欧尔班被批评者视为极右翼独裁者的政策。欧尔班曾是美国总统特朗普政府的盟友。

    在就职后向匈牙利议会议员发表的演讲中，马尔贾表示，他不会利用自己的职位“统治”匈牙利，“而是要为我的祖国服务”。

    “我站在这里，不是因为我与国内其他人有何不同，”马尔贾说，“我站在这里，是因为数百万匈牙利人决定他们想要改变。我们所获得的这份信任，既是荣誉的重担和道德义务，也是一种美妙的感受。”

    马尔贾誓言打击所谓的腐败行为

    马尔贾已誓言恢复在欧尔班执政期间严重受损的民主制度和政府制衡机制，并打击所谓的腐败行为。

    预计他的政府将改变欧盟内部的政治格局。前任总理欧尔班曾频繁否决关键决议，打乱欧盟运作，最近一次是针对向邻国乌克兰提供支持的决议。

    周六，现年45岁的律师马尔贾与140名本党议员一同走进这座规模宏大的新哥特式议会大厦。他于2024年在欧尔班政党内部任职多年后创立了蒂萨党。与前任相比，马尔贾更支持欧盟，也更反对俄罗斯。他于2024年辞去欧尔班领导的青年民主联盟党籍，对其所称的欧尔班领导下存在大规模腐败文化表示强烈不满。

    他同时持有强烈的保守派反移民观点。过去马尔贾曾表示，欧盟需要加强边境保护，并反对在欧洲范围内重新安置寻求庇护者。

    image 2026年5月9日周六，匈牙利布达佩斯，彼得·马尔贾在就职仪式上宣誓就任匈牙利总理。德内什·厄尔多什 / 美联社

    蒂萨党目前在匈牙利199个席位的议会中控制141个席位。欧尔班领导的青年民主联盟-基督教民主人民党（KDNP）联盟控制52个席位，较此前的135个席位大幅减少，极右翼政党“我们的祖国”（Mi Hazánk）拥有6个席位。

    在投票支持蒂萨党的近340万匈牙利人中，许多人期望马尔贾能就本届离任政府被认为存在的不当行为，追究青年民主联盟官员及其商业盟友的责任。

    马尔贾计划设立国家资产追回与保护办公室，该机构负责调查并追回欧尔班任期内被滥用的公共资金。他还誓言暂停匈牙利公共广播公司的新闻服务——该机构被广泛视为欧尔班政党的喉舌——直至其恢复客观性。

    在周六向议员发表的演讲中，马尔贾提到了追究前官员过往不当行为责任的意图，称选民“赋予我们开启匈牙利历史新篇章的授权”。

    “但我们必须明白，没有和解就不可能有新的开端。没有正义就不可能有和解。而没有直面过去，就不可能有正义，”他说。

    新执政党转向欧盟

    马尔贾承诺修复匈牙利与欧盟的关系——欧尔班曾将双方关系推至破裂边缘——并恢复匈牙利在西方民主国家中的地位。在欧尔班日益亲近俄罗斯之际，匈牙利的国际形象曾受到质疑。

    周六下午，欧盟旗帜时隔12年首次在议会大厦外墙上重新升起，欧尔班政府于2014年将其取下。

    解决约200亿欧元欧盟资金的解冻问题是新任总理的首要任务之一。这些资金因法治和腐败问题在欧尔班执政期间被冻结。匈牙利经济已连续四年停滞不前，急需这笔资金来重启发展。

    庆祝活动的参与者之一、27岁的网页设计师阿伦·法尔桑表示，他期待蒂萨新政府恢复匈牙利的民主制度，并“带领我们重返欧盟”。

    “我也非常希望我们能尽快摆脱俄罗斯的影响，”他说，“我指的是能源依赖以及他们总体的政治风格。”

    匈牙利新一届国民议会共有54名女性议员，其中多数来自蒂萨党——占总席位的四分之一以上，为匈牙利历史之最。

    image 2026年5月9日周六，匈牙利布达佩斯，当选总理彼得·马尔贾与其他议员一同抵达议会大厦。德内什·厄尔多什 / 美联社

    另一位参与者、来自布达佩斯的经济学家安德里亚·塞佩西表示，更多女性议员进入议会“正是时候”。在欧尔班执政期间，匈牙利政府中的女性比例低于欧盟其他26个成员国中的几乎所有国家。

    “女性终于能够参与到这个全新、美好的民主体系和国家的繁荣发展中来，”她告诉美联社。

    199名议员于当地时间上午11点左右宣誓就职。欧尔班是自1990年匈牙利首届后共产主义议会成立以来，首次未出席此次仪式的时任或前任总理。

    马尔贾此前呼吁匈牙利民众前往议会外的科苏特广场参加全天的“政权更迭”庆祝活动，以纪念他的就职典礼和欧尔班时代的结束。当新一届议员宣誓就职时，广场上已聚集了数千人，许多人挥舞着匈牙利和欧盟旗帜，身着蒂萨党主题T恤。

    当民众通过大屏幕观看议会内部的仪式时，每当马尔贾出现，现场就会响起欢呼声。新任总理计划在议会首届会议结束后，向广场外的民众发表讲话。

    Péter Magyar sworn in as Hungary’s prime minister, ending Viktor Orbán’s rule

    May 9, 2026 / 10:50 AM EDT / CBS/AP

    Hungary’s Péter Magyar took his oath of office on Saturday to become the country’s new prime minister, ending Viktor Orbán’s 16 years of autocratic rule.

    Magyar’s center-right Tisza party defeated Orbán’s nationalist-populist Fidesz in a stunning blow last month, gaining more votes and seats in Parliament than any other party in Hungary’s post-Communist history.

    The win, which gave Tisza a two-thirds parliamentary majority, will allow it to roll back many of the policies that gave Orbán, an ally of U.S. President Trump’s administration, a reputation among his critics as a far-right authoritarian.

    In a speech to lawmakers in Hungary’s Parliament after being sworn in, Magyar said he would not use his office to “rule” Hungary, “but to serve my homeland.”

    “I’m not standing here because I’m different from anyone else in the country,” Magyar said. “I stand here because millions of Hungarians decided that they want change. And this trust that we have received is both a weight of honor and a moral obligation, but also a wonderful feeling.”

    Magyar vows to clamp down on alleged corruption

    Magyar has vowed to restore democratic institutions and governmental checks and balances that were heavily eroded during Orbán’s rule, and to clamp down on alleged corruption.

    His government is expected to transform political dynamics within the European Union, where the former prime minister had upended the bloc by frequently vetoing key decisions, most recently concerning support for neighboring Ukraine.

    On Saturday, Magyar, a 45-year-old lawyer who founded Tisza in 2024 after years as an insider in Orbán’s party, entered the sprawling neo-Gothic parliament building alongside 140 of his party representatives. Magyar is far more pro-EU and anti-Russia than his predecessor. He resigned from Orbán’s Fidesz party in 2024, expressing deep dissatisfaction with what he said was a culture of mass corruption under Orbán’s leadership.

    He also holds strong conservative anti-immigration views. In the past, Magyar has said the EU needs strong border protection and that he opposes the redistribution of asylum-seekers across Europe.

    Tisza now controls 141 seats in Hungary’s 199-seat parliament. Orbán’s Fidesz-KDNP coalition controls 52 seats, down from 135, while the far-right Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) party holds six seats.

    Many of the nearly 3.4 million Hungarians who voted for Tisza expect Magyar to hold Fidesz officials and their business allies accountable for the perceived misconduct of the outgoing administration.

    Magyar plans to establish a National Asset Recovery and Protection Office, an authority tasked with investigating and recovering public funds misused during Orbán’s tenure. He’s also vowed to suspend the news services of Hungary’s public broadcaster — widely seen as a mouthpiece of Orbán’s party — until objectivity can be restored.

    In his speech to lawmakers Saturday, Magyar referenced his intentions to hold former officials accountable for past abuses, saying voters had “given us a mandate to open a new chapter in Hungary’s history.”

    “We must understand, however, that there can be no new beginning without reconciliation. There can be no reconciliation without justice. And there can be no justice without confronting the past,” he said.

    New governing party turns toward the EU

    Magyar has promised to repair his country’s ties with the EU, which Orbán had pushed to a breaking point, and to restore Hungary’s place among Western democracies, whose standing had been called into question as Orbán drifted ever closer to Russia.

    The EU flag was raised on the Parliament building’s facade Saturday afternoon for the first time since Orbán’s government removed it in 2014.

    Unlocking about $20 billion of EU funds for Hungary frozen during Orbán’s time in office over rule-of-law and corruption concerns is among the incoming prime minister’s top priorities. The money is sorely needed to help jump-start Hungary’s struggling economy, which has stagnated for the past four years.

    Another attendee of the celebration, 27-year-old web designer Áron Farsang, said he expects the new Tisza government to restore Hungary’s democratic institutions and to “lead us back toward the European Union.”

    “I would also really like it if we could get rid of the Russian influence as soon as possible,” he said. “I’m thinking about energy dependency and their general political style.”

    Hungary’s new national assembly has 54 women lawmakers, most from the Tisza party — more than a quarter of the total and the most in Hungary’s history.

    One attendee, Andrea Szepesi, an economist from Budapest, said it was “about time” more female lawmakers held seats in Parliament. Under Orbán’s rule, there were fewer women in government than in nearly all of the EU’s other 26 nations.

    “Finally, women are able to participate in this new, beautiful democratic system and the flourishing of the country,” she told The Associated Press.

    The 199 representatives took their oaths of office at around 11 a.m. local time. Orbán was not among them for the first time since Hungary’s first post-Communist Parliament was formed in 1990.

    Magyar earlier called on Hungarians to attend an all-day “regime-change” celebration on Kossuth Square outside Parliament to mark his inauguration and the end of the Orbán era. Thousands had already gathered in the square as the new representatives were sworn in, many waving Hungarian and EU flags and wearing Tisza T-shirts.

    As the crowd watched the proceedings inside Parliament on large screens, cheers erupted whenever Magyar appeared. The new prime minister was set to address the crowd outside after the completion of Parliament’s inaugural session.

    本文是审视北约联盟面临挑战系列报道的第一篇。

    前高级国家安全顾问基思·凯洛格告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，北约已沦为“过于依赖美国军事力量的臃肿架构”。

    随着唐纳德·特朗普总统施压北约盟友增加国防开支——下令从德国撤出5000名美军，并暗示可能削减在西班牙和意大利的驻军——联盟内部出现了更深层次的担忧：尽管欧洲国防预算多年来持续增长，但北约仍严重依赖美国的军事力量，从导弹防御、情报到后勤和核威慑均是如此。

    政治承诺与实际军事能力之间日益扩大的差距，如今正推动联盟内部呼吁进行结构改革，因为北约正面临来自俄罗斯的日益严峻的威胁以及中东的动荡局势。

    退役中将基思·凯洛格告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，北约的失衡并非理论层面的问题，也并非新近出现的问题。“我曾告诉总统……或许你应该谈谈与北约建立分层关系，”凯洛格描述了他在特朗普第一任期内就联盟未来与特朗普的对话。“……我们需要建立一种新的，恕我直言，一种新的北约，一种与欧洲的新防御同盟。”

    凯洛格补充道，联盟在政治上扩张了，但在军事上并未扩张——这造成了他眼中承诺与实际能力之间日益扩大的差距。

    “你们最初只有12个成员国，如今增至32个，在此过程中，我认为你们削弱了其影响力，”他辩称，称如今的北约是“一个非常臃肿的架构”。

    “他们没有在国防上投入资金。他们的国防工业和国防力量已经萎缩。看看英国现在的情况，他们几乎无法部署部队：他们有两艘航母，都在维修中。他们的旅级部队每六个里才有一个能正常运作。看看他们的能力，根本就不够。所以我认为我们需要认清这一点，然后说，好吧，我们需要一些不同的东西，”凯洛格告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。他是美国优先外交政策研究所美国安全中心的联合主席。

    但并非所有人都认为该联盟正在失去其重要性。

    “它从未像现在这样重要，”美国陆军战争学院研究教授约翰·R·德尼说道，他认为北约仍是美国国家安全的核心。

    “原因有两方面，”他说。“其一，这是我们相对于中国和俄罗斯的比较优势……他们没有任何类似的组织。”

    “其二……北约为我们最重要的贸易和投资伙伴关系的安全与稳定提供了保障，”他补充道，这里指的是北美与欧洲之间的经济联系。

    依赖：是设计使然还是弱点？

    根据伦敦智库亨利·杰克逊学会的巴拉克·塞纳提供的分析，到2010年左右，美国约占北约国防开支的65%至70%。

    “欧洲盟友一直以来都依赖美国，”凯洛格在谈到北约欧洲成员国时说道。

    “盟友们总体上是有意通过相互协作来实现威慑和防御的，”德尼解释道，联盟的存在是为了“汇集资源”并“整合各自的优势”。

    德尼指出，地面部队就是美国从联盟中获益的一个明显例子，他指出“地面上的盟国机械化步兵部队数量远多于美军”。

    北约秘书长暗示盟友可能对霍尔木兹海峡采取行动，警告对美国存在“不健康的依赖”

    不过，他承认这种依赖有时已经过度。

    “过去……可以公平地说，欧洲盟友在常规防御方面过度依赖美国，”他说道，这指的是2000年代的情况。

    他表示，这在一定程度上是由美国的优先事项驱动的——当时华盛顿敦促欧洲盟友专注于阿富汗和伊拉克的战争，而非领土防御。

    塞纳将北约描述为“形式上集体，但功能上不对称”，美国提供了不成比例的“高端能力”份额。

    这种不对称在核威慑方面最为明显。

    塞纳表示，美国提供了北约绝大多数的核武库——包括洲际弹道导弹、潜射系统和战略轰炸机——这意味着威慑最终依赖于美国会进行报复的假设。

    一名北约官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“美国的核威慑力量无法替代，但显然欧洲需要加大投入。这一点毫无疑问。我们的国防和安全需要实现更好的平衡。这既是因为我们看到美国在全球发挥的重要作用以及它所需要投入的资源，也是因为这样做才公平。”

    “好消息是，”该官员补充道，“盟友们正是这么做的。他们正在加大投入，共同努力——并与美国一道——确保我们集体拥有所需的一切，以威慑和保卫横跨欧亚大西洋地区的10亿人口。”

    北约无法替代的系统

    除核武器外，这种依赖贯穿于联盟的作战核心。

    塞纳指出，美国提供的情报、监视和侦察系统以及后勤和指挥系统，对北约的行动至关重要。

    “没有美国的情报和监视能力，北约将失去态势感知和早期预警能力，”塞纳说道，并补充道，“这意味着，例如，俄罗斯可以攻击欧洲。从理论上讲，如果没有北约且美国不介入，欧洲将无法及时察觉，或者需要太长时间才能组织自卫。”

    凯洛格也表示，欧洲大部分地区的军事能力都达不到顶级水平。

    “大体上来说，如果要给他们的装备打分，从A到F，他们大概只能算B级或C级玩家，”他说。“这算不上一流水平。”

    他指出，防空和导弹防御是关键差距所在，他指出尽管欧洲国家依赖美国制造的爱国者和萨德等系统，“他们没有可比的系统”。

    凯洛格将此归咎于多年来的投资不足，他表示欧洲国防工业“已经萎缩”，并补充说美国现在也在“重新学习这一点”。

    德尼表示，如今的情况更为复杂。

    “联盟的国防开支一直在增加……2022年之后更是大幅飙升，”他说道，指出2014年俄罗斯吞并克里米亚是一个转折点。

    但他警告称，能力提升需要时间，许多改进仍需数年才能全面部署。

    德尼指出，欧洲最近购买美国系统就是能力不断提升的证据，他指出包括波兰、罗马尼亚、挪威和丹麦在内的国家正在从美国采购F-35战斗机。

    “你不可能一夜之间造出F-35，”他说道，并补充道，许多此类改进需要数年时间才能完全实现。

    一名北约官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，该联盟“需要更进一步、更快地行动”以应对日益严峻的威胁，并指出各国国防部长在2025年6月达成了新的能力目标。

    该官员表示，优先事项包括防空和导弹防御、远程武器、后勤和大型地面部队，他指出尽管细节仍属机密，但计划要求将防空和导弹防御能力提高五倍，增加“数千辆”装甲车辆和坦克，以及“数百万发”炮弹。北约还旨在将后勤、运输和医疗支持等关键支援能力提升一倍。

    该官员补充道，盟友们正在增加对军舰、飞机、无人机、远程导弹以及太空和网络能力的投资，同时提高战备水平并升级指挥和控制系统。

    “这些目标现已纳入国家计划，”该官员说道，并补充道，盟友们必须展示他们将如何通过持续的国防开支和能力发展来实现这些目标。

    这位北约官员还指出，欧洲盟友领导着中欧和东欧的多国部队，而美国和加拿大则作为波兰和拉脱维亚的框架国家，同时开展空中巡逻任务以及北约在科索沃的科索沃部队行动。

    如果美国兵力紧张会发生什么？

    凯洛格的警告直截了当：北约的威慑依赖于美国的存在。

    “你永远都要担心的……是俄罗斯，”凯洛格说道，他在2025年曾担任特朗普的乌克兰和俄罗斯问题特使。

    如果美军被牵制在其他地方，北约可能面临严重的压力——尤其是在情报和后勤领域。

    对凯洛格而言，危险在于延误。“我们直到事情发生才会知道，”他说。“到那时你就无法做出回应了。”

    然而，德尼表示，该联盟仍是一项战略资产，而非负担。

    As Trump forces NATO to pay up, alliance races to close military gap with US

    Retired Lt Gen Keith Kellogg told Trump the alliance needs ‘a new defensive alignment with Europe’ as budgets fail to match promises

    Ret. Gen. Keith Kellogg says NATO has become a ‘bloated architecture’

    The retired general argues the alliance must rethink its structure as it faces a resurgent Russia and growing capability gaps.

    This is part one of a series examining the challenges confronting the NATO alliance.

    NATO has become a “bloated architecture” too dependent on American military power, former senior national security advisor Keith Kellogg told Fox News Digital.

    As President Donald Trump pressures NATO allies to spend more on defense — ordering the withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany and signaling possible cuts in Spain and Italy — a deeper concern is emerging inside the alliance: despite years of rising European defense budgets, NATO still depends heavily on American military power, from missile defense and intelligence to logistics and nuclear deterrence.

    The growing gap between political commitments and real military capability is now fueling calls for structural changes inside the alliance as NATO confronts mounting threats from Russia and instability in the Middle East.

    NATO’s imbalance is not theoretical — and it is not new, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg told Fox News Digital, “I told the president… maybe you ought to talk about a tiered relationship with NATO,” Kellogg described conversations with Trump in his first term about the alliance’s future. “…we need to develop a new, for lack of a better term, a new NATO a new defensive alignment with Europe.”

    Kellogg added the alliance has expanded politically but not militarily — creating what he sees as a growing gap between commitments and real capability.

    “You started with 12, and you went to 32, and in the process, I think you diluted the impact,” he argued, calling today’s NATO “a very bloated architecture.”

    “They haven’t put the money into defense. Their defense industry and defense forces have atrophied. When you look at the Brits right now, they could barely deploy forces: they have two aircraft carriers, both under maintenance. Their brigades are like one out of six that work. And you just look at the capability, it’s just not there. So I think we need to realize that and say, well, we need something different,” Kellogg, who is the co-chair of the Center for American Security at the America First Foreign Policy Institute, told Fox News Digital.

    But not everyone agrees the alliance is losing relevance.

    “It has never been more relevant,” said John R. Deni, a research professor at the U.S. Army War College, who says NATO remains central to U.S. national security.

    “The reason for that is twofold,” he said. “One, it’s our comparative advantage versus the Chinese and the Russians… they don’t have anything like this.”

    “And the second reason… NATO underwrites the security and stability of our most important trade and investment relationship,” he added, referring to economic ties between North America and Europe.

    Dependence: Design or Weakness?

    By around 2010, the United States accounted for roughly 65% to 70% of NATO defense spending, according to analysis provided by Barak Seener from the Henry Jackson Society, a London-based think tank.

    “They’ve always been dependent on the U.S.,” Kellogg said of the European allies.

    “The allies overall rely upon one another for deterrence and defense by design,” Deni said, explaining that alliances exist to “pool their resources” and “aggregate their individual strengths.”

    Deni pointed to ground forces as a clear example of what the U.S. gains from the alliance, noting that “there are far more allied mechanized infantry forces on the ground than there are Americans.”

    Still, he acknowledged that reliance has at times gone too far.

    “In the past… it was fair to say that the European allies were overly reliant upon the Americans for conventional defense,” he said, pointing to the 2000s.

    That, he said, was partly driven by U.S. priorities — as Washington pushed European allies to focus on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq rather than territorial defense.

    Seener describes NATO as “formally collective, but functionally asymmetric,” with the U.S. providing a disproportionate share of “high-end capabilities.”

    That asymmetry is most visible in nuclear deterrence.

    Seener said the U.S. provides the overwhelming majority of NATO’s nuclear arsenal — including intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched systems and strategic bombers — meaning deterrence ultimately relies on the assumption of U.S. retaliation.

    A NATO official told Fox News Digital that, “The U.S. nuclear deterrent cannot be replaced, but it is clear that Europe needs to step up. There’s no question. There needs to be a better balance when it comes to our defense and security. Both because we see the vital role the U.S. plays around the world and the resources that it demands, and also because it is only fair.”

    “The good news,” the official added, “is that the Allies are doing exactly that. They are stepping up, working together — and with the U.S. — to ensure we collectively have what we need to deter and defend one billion people living across the Euro-Atlantic area.”

    The Systems NATO Cannot Replace

    Beyond nuclear weapons, the dependence runs through the alliance’s operational backbone.

    Seener pointed to U.S.-provided intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance — as well as logistics and command systems — as essential to NATO operations.

    “Without U.S. intelligence and surveillance, NATO loses situational awareness and early warning capabilities,” Seener said, adding, “So that means that Russia, for example, can attack Europe. And theoretically, if there’s no NATO and the U.S. is not involved, Europe would not be aware, or it would take it too long to be able to defend itself.”

    Kellogg also says that much of Europe’s military capability falls short of top-tier systems.

    “For the most part, their equipment, if you had to grade it A, B, C, D, E, F, they’re kind of like B players or C players,” he said. “It’s not the first line of work.”

    He pointed to air and missile defense as a key gap, noting that while European countries rely on U.S.-made systems such as Patriot and THAAD, “they don’t have a system that’s comparable.”

    Kellogg attributed that to years of underinvestment, saying European defense industries “have atrophied,” adding that the United States is also now “relearning that as well.”

    Deni said the picture today is more mixed.

    “Alliance defense spending has been up… and has spiked far more after 2022,” he said, pointing to Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 as a turning point.

    But he cautioned that capability gains take time, noting that many improvements are still years away from full deployment.

    Deni pointed to recent European purchases of U.S. systems as evidence of growing capability, noting that countries including Poland, Romania, Norway and Denmark are acquiring the F-35 fighter jet from the U.S.

    “You can’t build an F-35 overnight,” he said, adding that many of these improvements will take years to fully materialize.

    A NATO official told Fox News Digital the alliance “needs to move further and faster” to meet growing threats, pointing to new capability targets agreed by defense ministers in June 2025.

    The official said priorities include air and missile defense, long-range weapons, logistics and large land forces, noting that while details remain classified, plans call for a fivefold increase in air and missile defense, “thousands more” armored vehicles and tanks, and “millions more” artillery shells. NATO also aims to double key enabling capabilities such as logistics, transportation and medical support.

    The official added that allies are increasing investments in warships, aircraft, drones, long-range missiles, as well as space and cyber capabilities, while boosting readiness and modernizing command and control.

    “These targets are now included in national plans,” the official said, adding that allies must demonstrate how they will meet them through sustained defense spending and capability development.

    The NATO official also noted that European allies lead multinational forces across Central and Eastern Europe, while the U.S. and Canada serve as framework nations in Poland and Latvia, alongside ongoing air policing missions and NATO’s KFOR operation in Kosovo.

    What happens if the U.S. is stretched?

    Kellogg’s warning is direct: NATO’s deterrence depends on U.S. presence.

    “The one you always have to worry about… is Russia,” Kellogg, who was Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia in 2025, said.

    If U.S. forces are tied down elsewhere, NATO could face serious strain — particularly in areas like intelligence and logistics.

    For Kellogg, the danger is delay. “We won’t know until it happens,” he said. “And then you won’t be able to respond to it.”

    Deni, however, said the alliance remains a strategic asset — not a liability.

    The question, he suggests, is not whether NATO still works. It is whether allies can adapt fast enough to keep it working.
