前中情局分析师兼间谍小说作家大卫·麦克洛斯基近日就美英两国传统同盟关系的状况发出警告。他表示"关系正处于巨大压力之下"1,这一判断受到特朗普政府一系列实际举措的印证。根据麦克洛斯基的说法,美国政府从英国皇家空军基地撤出了轰炸机1,还公开考虑放弃对英国在福克兰群岛争端中的支持1,这些举措反映出对传统盟友关系的冷淡态度。
麦克洛斯基在其新作《伦敦站》中虚构了美英情报合作可能崩溃的情景1,这一设想如今因现实政策变化而显得更加贴切。不过他也指出,"特朗普政府的许多结构性变化并非特定于特朗普,将长期存在"1,这意味着美英关系的改变可能超越当前政府任期。尽管面临这些挑战,五眼联盟(美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰)的信号情报共享协议仍然完整1。
The traditional partnership between the United States and Britain is experiencing serious pressure, according to David McCloskey, a former CIA analyst and spy novelist.1 McCloskey has drawn parallels between the deteriorating relationship and the fictional collapse of US-UK intelligence cooperation depicted in his new novel London Station.1 He observed that "the relationship is under a tremendous amount of strain," a characterization rendered more credible by recent policy moves from the Trump administration.1
These moves include the withdrawal of 12 B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in Britain and the public consideration of abandoning US support for Britain in the Falkland Islands dispute.1 Despite these strains, McCloskey noted that the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing agreement among the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand remains intact.1 However, he cautioned that "a lot of the structural changes we're seeing in the special relationship are not specific to Trump, and will outlast him," suggesting that the pressures on the alliance extend beyond the current administration's tenure.1
