    079 | 伊朗战事、中期选举第一枪、DHS换人 Iran war, midterms fire up, and a DHS shakeup

    【聊了什么】 2月28日，美以联合对伊朗发起代号"史诗狂怒"的军事打击。第一波空袭直接命中德黑兰市中心，最高领袖哈梅内伊等伊朗最高领导层当场身亡。录制本期节目时，战事已进入第八天——油价飙升，中东各国陷入战火，伊朗政权仍在运转，战争走向可能远比特朗普预期的复杂。 与此同时，中期选举的第一枪在德州打响。James Talarico击败Jasmine Crockett，赢得民主党参议员初选提名。一个年轻、看上去更温和的白人州众议员，打败了哈里斯钦点、全国知名的进步派黑人女议员——战术上的差距，还是民主党更深层问题的信号？共和党这边，现任参议员康宁以微弱优势领先帕克斯顿，特朗普至今未明确背书。 第三件事：国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在3月5日被炒掉。直接导火索是她在国会听证会上把一笔2.2亿美元的广告合同甩锅给了特朗普。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年3月7日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:54 "史诗狂怒"行动背景 03:24 谈判破裂还是走过场？以色列如何将美国拖下水 05:00 四个战争目标的内部矛盾：薛定谔的伊朗核能力 07:12 格雷厄姆的幕后操纵：高尔夫球场上的游说 10:55 "任务完成"的历史幽灵：与伊拉克战争对比 21:25 伊朗政权的战略逻辑 34:39 地面部队困境：空袭无法实现战略目标 40:38 《战争权力决议》投票失败：国会能做什么？ 45:43 战争对中期选举的冲击：滞胀风险与民意隐患 52:20 德州民主党初选：塔拉里科击败克罗克特 54:14 塔拉里科的底牌：基督教左派能否打开福音派市场 57:02 克罗克特为何失败 60:17 共和党初选：康宁险胜，特朗普为何迟迟不背书 66:10 克伦肖输掉众议员初选：99%的忠诚也不够用 75:07 导火索：2.2亿广告合同甩锅给特朗普 77:09 丑闻解剖：空壳公司与利益输送 79:34 诺姆转任特使：为何不能彻底踢出局 80:14 穆林接任DHS：特朗普爱上福克斯常客 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint military strike on Iran under the codename "Operation Epic Fury." The first wave of airstrikes hit central Tehran directly, killing Supreme Leader Khamenei and the rest of Iran's top leadership. By the time we recorded this episode, the conflict had entered its eighth day — oil prices were surging, the Middle East was engulfed in fighting, and the Iranian regime was still standing. The war may be far more complicated than Trump anticipated. Meanwhile, the midterm election season opened in Texas. James Talarico defeated Jasmine Crockett to win the Democratic Senate primary nomination. A young, ostensibly moderate white state legislator beat a nationally prominent progressive Black congresswoman who had the backing of Kamala Harris — is this a tactical failure, or a signal of something deeper wrong with the Democratic Party? On the Republican side, incumbent Senator Cornyn edged out Paxton by a slim margin, and Trump has yet to commit to a clear endorsement. Third: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired on March 5. The immediate trigger was her testimony before Congress, in which she tried to pin a $220 million ad contract on Trump. This episode was recorded on the night of March 7, 2026 (U.S. time). 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:54 Background on "Operation Epic Fury" 03:24 Failed negotiations or political theater?

    078 | 美国新右翼：特朗普背后的思想内战 The New Right

    【聊了什么】 特朗普是MAGA，但MAGA远不只是特朗普。过去几个月，美国右翼内部裂痕频现：Marjorie Taylor Greene首次把"忠于特朗普"和"忠于America First"公开对立，Charlie Kirk被刺杀后右翼围绕以色列和反犹问题爆发内战，移民执法和关税政策上共和党内部也出现了罕见的倒戈。这些裂痕不是偶然的——它们背后是不同的知识分子网络、不同的意识形态框架、不同的对"美国应该是什么"的根本想象之间的深层冲突。 本期节目，我们从里根时代"三角凳"联盟的瓦解讲起，系统梳理MAGA新右翼的思想源流与内部派系：从法国新右翼到美国另类右翼，从克莱蒙特学派的民选问责主义到后自由主义者的共同善宪法主义，从Curtis Yarvin的"大教堂"理论到硅谷科技右翼的技术君主制野心。这些派别在"拆掉旧制度"上高度一致，但在拆完之后要建什么，却有着根本性的分歧。 我们也聊了特朗普在这个思想版图中的独特位置：一个几乎没有意识形态的交易型政治动物，却被一群有深厚理论野心的知识分子当作进入权力的特洛伊木马。以及万斯——这个最被看好的后特朗普时代旗手，他的后自由主义信仰、科技右翼资金网络、对美国身份认同的重新定义，和他致命的克里斯玛赤字。当特朗普离开舞台中心，这些还没完全搭好的脚手架还能撑多久？ 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:03 开场介绍与嘉宾定义"新右翼" 04:26 欧洲源流：法国新右翼五大主张与"大置换"理论 07:41 MAGA内战近况：MTG叛旗、Charlie Kirk之死、关税倒戈 09:57 里根"三角凳"：旧保守主义联盟的搭建与崩塌 14:53 共和党南方化与文化战争的全面溃败感 17:56 The Flight 93 Election：生死危机叙事的诞生 22:59 右翼葛兰西主义与Curtis Yarvin的"大教堂"理论 30:51 特朗普本人没有意识形态——他只是新右翼的特洛伊木马 34:11 Barstool Conservative：虎扑老哥式MAGA选民与激进化管道 37:38 新右翼门派总览：克莱蒙特学派 vs 后自由主义者 41:15 JD万斯：后自由主义旗手与2028接班人难题 45:15 行政国家之争：拆掉还是接管？右翼内部的路线分歧 52:22 美国人到底是谁？独立宣言主义 vs 血统民族主义 60:38 反垄断翻车与交易型政治：意识形态败给利益交换 66:38 新右翼有思想没魅力，找不到第二个特朗普 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 小肖：纽约律师 王朝：《日新说》国际新闻主编，右翼思潮观察者 【 What We Talked About】 Trump is MAGA, but MAGA is far more than Trump. In recent months, fractures within the American right have burst into the open: Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly split loyalty to Trump from loyalty to America First for the first time; the assassination of Charlie Kirk triggered an internal war over Israel and antisemitism; and rare Republican defections emerged on immigration enforcement and tariff policy. These fractures are not accidental — they reflect deep conflicts between rival intellectual networks, competing ideological frameworks, and fundamentally different visions of what America should be. In this episode, we start with the collapse of the Reagan-era "three-legged stool" coalition and systematically trace the intellectual origins and internal factions of the MAGA New Right: from the French Nouvelle Droite to the American alt-right, from the Claremont school's democratic accountability doctrine to the post-liberals' Common Good Constitutionalism, from Curtis Yarvin's "Cathedral" theory to Silicon Valley's techno-monarchist ambitions. These factions are remarkably united on tearing down the old order — but deeply divided over what to build in its place. We also explore Trump's peculiar position in this intellectual landscape: a transactional political animal with virtually no ideology, yet embraced by theoretically ambitious intellectuals as a Trojan horse into power. And then there's Vance — the most credible standard-bearer for the post-Trump era, with his post-liberal convictions, tech-right funding network, redefinition of American identity, and his fatal charisma deficit. When Trump exits center stage, how long can this half-built scaffolding hold? 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:03 Introduction & defining the "New Right" 04:26 European origins: the French Nouvelle Droite's five pillars and the "Great Replacement" theory 07:41 MAGA civil war update: MTG's break, Charlie Kirk's death, and tariff defections 09:57 Reagan's "three-legged stool": how the old conservative coalition was built — and why it collapsed 14:53 The GOP's Southernization and the sense of total defeat in the culture war 17:56 The Flight 93 Election: the birth of existential crisis politics 22:59 Right-wing Gramscianism and Curtis Yarvin's "Cathedral" theory 30:51 Trump has no ideology — he's the New Right's Trojan horse 34:11 Barstool Conservatives: the low-ideology MAGA base and the radicalization pipeline 37:38 New Right faction overview: the Claremont school vs. the post-liberals 41:15 JD Vance: post-liberal standard-bearer and the 2028 succession problem 45:15 The administrative state debate: dismantle or capture?

    077 | 特朗普紧急权力关税被高院推翻，然后呢？Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariffs

    【聊了什么】 2月20日，美国最高法院以6:3推翻了特朗普基于IEEPA（国际紧急经济权力法）征收的全部关税，判定"监管进口"不等于"征收关税"，税收权属于国会。但特朗普在判决出炉仅三小时后便签署新行政令，以贸易法第122条重新加征10%的全球关税。（录制期间，特朗普宣布将新增的10%关税提高到15%。） 本期我们讨论了：IEEPA到底是什么？最高法院的多数意见和反对意见分别说了什么？为什么多数派法官内部也吵成了好几派？特朗普的关税工具箱里还剩什么？1700亿的退税怎么退？以及这场判决对中期选举和美国经济意味着什么。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年2月21日上午。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:48 IEEPA是什么？紧急状态权力的历史背景 05:25 核心法律问题："regulate importation"包不包含征收关税？ 08:45 最高法院多数意见：罗伯茨与"重大问题原则" 13:00 自由派的赞同意见 vs 戈萨奇46页无差别开炮 18:02 反对意见：托马斯的"王权论"与卡瓦诺63页全力护航 29:33 1700亿退税难题：退给谁？怎么退？ 34:37 特朗普的反击：122条与关税工具箱盘点 44:43 判决的实质影响：形式变了，关税没变 46:27 国会动态：共和党倒戈与退休潮中的内生反对派 58:01 经济大背景：GDP不及预期、通胀未降与中期选举压力 1:05:02 最高法院与特朗普：蜜月结束了吗？ 1:11:28 大法官人物分析：戈萨奇 vs 卡瓦诺 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 品达：美国政治观察人士 【 What We Talked About】 On February 20, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down all tariffs imposed by Trump under IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act), holding that "regulate importation" does not mean "impose tariffs" and that the power to tax belongs to Congress. But just three hours after the ruling, Trump signed a new executive order reimposing a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act. (During the recording of this episode, Trump announced an increase of the new 10% tariff to 15%.) In this episode, we discuss: What exactly is IEEPA? What did the majority and dissenting opinions say? Why were even the majority justices divided into several camps? What tools remain in Trump's tariff toolbox? How will $170 billion in tariff refunds be handled? And what does this ruling mean for the midterm elections and the U.S. economy?

    【聊了什么】 这期节目中，我们盘点了过去两周大大小小的美国政治新闻。明尼苏达移民执法危机迎来新进展，争议人物Bovino被撤职，Homan接管行动，但DHS内部的路线之争和拨款危机仍未平息；爱泼斯坦350万页文件解密持续发酵；特朗普因发布种族主义视频遭两党批评，支持率跌至新低。 与此同时，特朗普公开呼吁联邦接管地方选举，FBI在国家情报总监加巴德陪同下突袭富尔顿县选举中心；德州深红选区补选出现近30点的惊人翻转，中期选举信号初现；而华盛顿邮报裁员超300人、CEO被迫辞职，这家百年大报在贝索斯治下走向何方？ 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年2月7日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:53 明尼苏达移民执法危机后续：Bovino被撤职，Homan接管 04:05 DHS内部路线之争：ICE传统派 vs 边境巡逻队强硬派 08:46 政府内部泄露甩锅战和明州执法行动下一步走向 15:16 DHS拨款危机与政府部分关门 22:31 爱泼斯坦350万页文件解密 25:42 特朗普发布种族主义视频风波 30:25 特朗普呼吁联邦接管选举与FBI突袭富尔顿县 36:49 SAFE Act：共和党推动投票身份证明立法 42:36 美国去中心化选举制度 47:31 选区重划：加州、弗吉尼亚与各州最新动态 54:53 新泽西第11选区初选与AIPAC翻车 01:02:27 德州深红选区补选翻转 01:09:13 德州民主党参议院初选风波：Talarico的"mediocre black man"争议 01:17:02 TrumpRx卖药网站与特朗普的经济牌 01:22:00 持枪权争议 01:25:23 华盛顿邮报大裁员与CEO辞职 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 In this episode, we recap the big and small stories in American politics from the past two weeks. The Minnesota immigration enforcement crisis saw new developments as the controversial Bovino was removed and Homan took over operations, but internal power struggles within DHS and a looming funding crisis remain unresolved. The release of 3.5 million pages of Epstein files continues to generate shockwaves. Trump drew bipartisan criticism after posting a racist video, with his approval ratings hitting new lows. Meanwhile, Trump openly called for federal takeover of local elections, and the FBI raided the Fulton County election center with Director of National Intelligence Gabbard on site. A deep-red Texas state senate district saw a stunning nearly 30-point swing in a special election, offering early signals for the midterms. And the Washington Post laid off over 300 newsroom employees as its CEO was forced to resign — raising the question of what lies ahead for this storied institution under Bezos's ownership.

    【聊了什么】 2026年1月，接连两名美国公民在明尼苏达街头死于联邦移民执法人员枪下。37岁的Renee Nicole Good被ICE特工射杀，另一位37岁的护士Alex Pretti则死于边境巡逻队之手。 本期节目，我们聊了这场风暴的起源（索马里社区欺诈丑闻的发酵）、ICE和边境巡逻的政治秀式移民执法、为什么联邦执法人员似乎不受制约、以及民众抗议与精英沉默之间的巨大落差。五年前发生在明尼阿波利斯的乔治·弗洛伊德事件曾点燃全美，如今同一座城市再次成为风暴眼，但这一次，汹涌的民意能够改变什么吗？ 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年1月24日下午。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:03 两起枪击事件：Renee Nicole Good与Alex Pretti之死 02:39 风暴起源：索马里社区欺诈丑闻如何发酵 08:50 为什么是明尼苏达？ 11:40 特朗普移民执法2.0：境内抓捕的运动化转向 16:45 移民执法：逮捕、拘押、遣返的区别 19:58 ICE vs 边境巡逻队：两种执法风格的内部张力 24:41 三十年僵局：为什么移民改革无法推进 34:20 ICE简史：911后诞生的"超级部门" 40:25 法律分析：联邦豁免权与JD Vance的谎言 52:22 民意反弹：为什么这次不像2020年？ 59:30 政治困局：汹涌的民意能改变什么？ 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 Lokin：美国法学院毕业生，纽约诉讼律师 小肖：纽约律师 【 What We Talked About】 In January 2026, two American citizens were shot and killed by federal immigration enforcement officers on the streets of Minnesota. Renee Nicole Good, 37, was killed by an ICE agent; Alex Pretti, also 37 and a nurse, was killed by Border Patrol. In this episode, we discuss the origins of this crisis (the viral spread of a Somali community fraud scandal), the spectacle-driven immigration enforcement of ICE and Border Patrol, why federal agents seem to operate without accountability, and the stark contrast between public protests and elite silence. Five years ago, the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis ignited a nationwide movement.

    074 | 特朗普2.0一周年：他如何改变了美国 One year into Trump 2.0

    【聊了什么】 距离特朗普2025年1月20日第二次入主白宫已经过去了整整一年。站在这个时间点上，我们回顾了特朗普2.0执政周年的赢家与输家。 生活成本问题没有明显缓解，"可负担性"成为年度词汇。ICE在蓝州社区发起的移民抓捕行动引发混乱和悲剧，让共和党在移民议题上的民意优势持续下滑。奥巴马医改增强补贴到期、USAID被拆除、关税政策反复——这些政策的连锁反应正在显现。没有了第一任期的"减速带"，特朗普"放飞自我"的一年里，格陵兰岛从抽象的玩笑变成了认真的外交议程。他能实现"名垂青史"的野望吗？ 迎来特朗普2.0第二年和中期选举年，特朗普又会如何改变美国和世界新秩序？ 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年1月18日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:01:46 特朗普 2.0 一周年：特朗普天性的释放 00:06:06 消失的“减速器” 00:09:30 卢比奥的强势崛起与国安会的弱化 00:21:02 生活成本危机与移民政策的社会反弹 00:38:03 输家盘点 51:18 查理·柯克遇刺：右翼内部的分裂与 MAGA 接班人之战 01:02:34 特朗普式的“公私合营”与政府权力的集中 01:27:12 中期选举趋势、草根组织崛起与新的世界秩序 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 It has been exactly one year since Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025. At this juncture, we take stock of the winners and losers of Trump 2.0's first year in office. The cost of living crisis remains unresolved, with "affordability" becoming the word of the year. ICE raids in blue-state communities have sparked chaos and tragedy, eroding Republican advantages on immigration. The expiration of Obamacare subsidies, the dismantling of USAID, and the back-and-forth on tariffs—the ripple effects of these policies are now coming into view. Without the "guardrails" of his first term, Trump has spent a year unrestrained. Greenland has gone from an absurd joke to a serious foreign policy agenda. Will he achieve his ambition of "cementing his legacy"? As Trump 2.0 enters its second year—and a midterm election year—how will he continue to reshape America and the new world order?

    073 | 「一战再战」：告别宏大叙事，拥抱日常英雄 Beyond Grand Narratives, Toward Everyday Heroes

    【聊了什么The What】 本期节目，Lokin与哲学家袁源、《疲惫娇娃》的主播一同过度解读了保罗·托马斯·安德森（Paul Thomas Anderson）很有嚼劲的新作《一战再战》。这部电影是让小杨“撇着嘴进去，真香着出来”的年度惊喜，也是袁源觉得十分“就这”的陈词滥调。我们从加缪的《反叛者》出发，探讨暴力革命的伦理困境：当“妇人之仁”成为罪行，对抽象理念的狂热是否必然以牺牲具体的人为代价？Perfidia是一个挑战观众道德底线的反英雄，还是一位被男性凝视和刻板印象所困的复杂女性？Perfidia式的、为“爽”而战的景观式革命的反面，是否是Sensei式的、根植于邻里互助的日常英雄主义？ For this episode, we invited philosopher Yuan Yuan and Lokin to join us in over-interpreting Paul Thomas Anderson’s chewy new film One Battle After Another. It’s a movie that some of us walked into with doubts and walked out of utterly charmed, while others find it to be a thoroughly “meh” bundle of clichés. Starting from Camus’s The Rebel, we dig into the ethical dilemmas of revolutionary violence: when “womanly compassion” becomes a crime, does fervor for an abstract ideal inevitably demand the sacrifice of concrete human lives? Is Perfidia a boundary-pushing anti-hero who defies our moral expectations, or a complex woman trapped within male gaze and stereotype? And if Perfidia’s spectacle-driven, pleasure-forward revolution is one end of the spectrum, is its opposite the Sensei style—an everyday heroism grounded in neighborly mutual aid? 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 电影《一战再战》剧情速览和第一印象 10:23 为何将60年代的革命美学平移到2008年让人“不买账”？ 22:34 暴力革命的道德思辨：电影中的革命行动是否满足“正义的目标”、“必要性”与“相称性”？ 31:33 Perfidia是刻板印象还是反英雄？ 54:12 Willa打破父辈创伤的循环了吗？ 58:03 “非盈利蛇头”Sensei和日常的英雄主义 67:07 对白人至上主义的辛辣讽刺 78:47 结局：这也能大团圆 00:00 Quick plot recap of One Battle After Another and our initial reactions 10:23 Why does transplanting 1960s revolutionary aesthetics into 2008 feel so unconvincing? 22:34 Moral reasoning around violent revolution: do the film’s actions satisfy “just cause,” “necessity,” and “proportionality”? 31:33 Perfidia: sexualized or anti-hero? 54:12 Does Willa break the cycle of her parents’ trauma? 58:03 The “non-profit coyote” Sensei and the quiet heroism of the everyday 67:07 A sharp satire of white supremacism 78:47 The ending: …so this counts as a happy ending? 【拓展链接 The Links】 Liberalism in Dark Times: The Liberal Ethos in the Twentieth Century The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt Vineland 【支持疲惫娇娃】 如果喜欢这期节目并愿意想要给我们买杯咖啡： 海外用户：https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm 海内用户：https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm 商务合作邮箱：cyberpinkfm@gmail.com 商务合作微信：CyberPink2022 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Those Abroad: https://www.patreon.com/cyberpinkfm Those in China: https://afdian.com/a/cyberpinkfm Business Inquiries Email: cyberpinkfm@gmail.com Business Inquiries WeChat: CyberPink2022

    072 | 唐罗主义元年：美国闪电抓捕马杜罗，然后呢？ 'Donroe Doctrine'

    【聊了什么】 2026年1月3日凌晨，美军特种部队突入委内瑞拉，几小时内将总统马杜罗从地堡中抓获并押送至纽约受审。这场堪比美剧的行动震惊世界，也标志着特朗普口中"唐罗主义"的正式登场。 本期节目，我们紧急复盘这场在2026年一开始就震惊世界的行动：从"太阳集团"的定性到石油利益的盘算，从卢比奥的鹰派野心到万斯的微妙缺席。美国"管杀"？会不会"管埋"？反对派领袖玛丽亚·马查多为何被泼冷水？委内瑞拉副总统接班背后有没有交易？我们尝试在新闻尚未尘埃落定时，给出一个初步的解读框架。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年1月4日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 02:15 抓捕马杜罗军事行动细节 09:22 美剧与真实行动的对照 12:43 美国的官方理由：毒品、移民、石油 14:09 特朗普政府内部的派系 16:17 卢比奥的南美野心与意识形态 17:34 万斯去哪了？副总统的微妙缺席 19:26 "太阳集团"：从互联网黑话到官方定性 22:14 石油真的值得吗？委内瑞拉重油的复杂经济账 28:46 国际体系走向丛林法则 30:11 民主党的尴尬处境 32:23 从门罗主义到唐罗主义 41:44 谁来接班？副总统留任与反对派出局 44:58 管杀不管埋？ 50:14 这件事对中期选举有影响吗 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 胖花花：《研究研究》主播 【 What We Talked About】 In the early hours of January 3, 2026, U.S. special forces stormed into Venezuela and captured President Maduro from his bunker within hours, transporting him to New York to stand trial. This operation, straight out of a TV thriller, shocked the world and marked the official debut of what Trump calls "Donroe Doctrine." In this episode, we urgently debrief this operation that stunned the world at the very start of 2026: from the designation of the "Cartel of the Suns" to the calculations over oil interests, from Rubio's hawkish ambitions to Vance's conspicuous absence. Will the U.S. follow through after "pulling the trigger"? Why was opposition leader María Corina Machado given the cold shoulder? Is there a backroom deal behind the Venezuelan vice president's succession? We attempt to offer a preliminary analytical framework while the dust is still settling.

Vice president stays, opposition sidelined 44:58 Will the U.S. follow through after pulling the trigger? 50:14 Will this affect the midterm elections? 【Who We Are】 The American Roulette is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.
