川普首份国安战略为军事战略铺路
华盛顿 — 美国川普政府星期一公布国家安全战略，为明年的国家国防战略和国家军事战略指明方向。分析人士们说，国防和军事战略将比以往更注重以军事实力应对来自中国的挑战。
川普总统12月18日宣布他上任近一年来的首份国家安全战略，谋求保障国家和人民安全、经济繁荣，并促进世界和平。
这份新的国安战略视中国为战略竞争对手，指中国以其他竞争者所不及的实力在经济、军事等领域与美国竞争。
川普注重军事实力
川普政府的第一份国家安全战略报告为国防部和军方2018年推出新的国防和军事战略明确了方向。
曾经在美国海军总部参与制定国防和军事战略的布莱恩-克拉克(Bryan Clark)对美国之音说，跟往届政府相比，川普政府将更重视以军事实力应对来自中国等国家的民族国家威胁。
克拉克：“奥巴马政府明显视中国和伊朗为伙伴、或至少是可以与之互动以实现美国国家安全目标的国家，但是川普政府在面对他们的安全威胁时试图使用军事行动遏阻他们。”
马蒂斯谋求强化前沿部署
川普上任后不久就任命前海军陆战队四星上将马蒂斯为国防部长。克拉克说，马蒂斯上任后注重将军事实力部署到亚太和欧洲安全热点地区，明年的国防和军事战略也会突出体现这项变化。
克拉克：“我想，马蒂斯部长会采取不同的方式去处理军事冲突。他看来更注重前沿防卫和前沿部署，试图将更多的军力部署到战区，以遏阻或应对安全危机。”
The United States is set to spend about $214 million on upgrading military air bases in Eastern Europe, Norway and Iceland.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The US is planning to spend approximately $214 million on upgrading and building military structures and installations on its air bases in Eastern Europe, Norway and Iceland as part of a deterrence initiative against Russia, local media reported.
The funds will be provided within the framework of the European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) and in line with the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act signed by US President Trump on Tuesday, the Air Force Times newspaper reported Sunday.
EDI, formerly known as the European Reassurance Initiative, was initiated following the referendum in Crimea on reunification with Russia in 2014 and the crisis in eastern Ukraine, which Washington and its allies blame on Moscow. The program in particular implies the deployment of 3,000-5,000 NATO soldiers and equipment to European countries along Russia's borders to deter alleged Russian aggression.
