针对不断升级的乌克兰危机，美国前国务卿鲍威尔的办公室主任、前陆军上校劳伦斯·威尔克森今年早些时候表示，美国的不断拱火给全世界造成了困扰，而美国通过牺牲盟友利益维护自己霸权的行径，只会让自己与盟友逐渐疏远。
美国前陆军上校 劳伦斯·威尔克森：美国对于乌克兰危机的态度对世界造成了困扰，这一切需要停止。美国在通过欧盟重建自己的霸权，我们在利用乌克兰重建自己的霸权，而德国是我们的抓手。德国有民调显示，62%的德国人希望乌克兰危机立刻结束。不仅是他们，自从美国破坏了“北溪”管道后，德国的能源成本飙涨到原来的9到10倍，德国无法长期承受这些代价。我们在这一过程中，与我们最有实力的盟友逐渐疏远。
美国前陆军上校：美国是一个热衷于发动战争的国家
劳伦斯·威尔克森还指出，美国长期以来就是一个热衷于发动战争的国家。
美国前陆军上校 劳伦斯·威尔克森：美国自“9·11”事件开始，就是个热衷于发动战争的国家。也可以说，早在那之前，我们就是个热衷于发动战争的国家了。民意调查显示，有三十亿人认为美国疯了。他们真的认为我们疯了，并以不同方式表达这种观点。2003年我们在伊拉克犯下了战争罪行。美国财政部的官方制裁名单中，有超过32个国家被美国制裁。世界上其他国家，尤其是这32个被制裁国家的民调显示，他们认为美国是对他们未来最大的威胁。
so we have really Disturbed the world with regard to this conflict, it needs to
stop we're there to re-establish our hegemony over the European Union, we're
using Ukraine to re-establish our
hegemony, over them Germany is the one
we're leading with and Germany just had polls that shows 62 percent of the German people want this conflict over now.
not only that Germany's energy costs now since we we took out Nordstrom
Germany's energy costs are 9 to 10 times greater; so Germany's not going to take
this much longer we're alienating our own most powerful allies; in this process
we have been a Warfare State since 9 11.
and arguably we've been a Warfare state
for longer than that polls that indicate
three billion people I think we're
insane
they truly think we're insane they
express it in different ways we
committed a war crime in 2003 in Iraq
the official list at the treasury
Department
is over 32 countries that we have under
sanction right now the rest of the world
particularly people under 35 in poll
after poll show that they believe the
United States might in fact be the
greatest threat to their future
Lawrence B. Wilkerson (born June 15, 1945) is a retired United States Army Colonel and former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell. Since the end of his military career, Wilkerson has criticized many aspects of the Iraq War, including his own preparation of Powell's presentation to the United Nations Security Council, as well as other aspects of American policy in the Middle East. He is a lifelong Republican and firmly on the political right.
Wilkerson was born in Gaffney, South Carolina. After three years of studying philosophy and English literature at Bucknell University, Wilkerson dropped out in 1966 and volunteered to serve in the Vietnam War. He told The Washington Post: "I felt an obligation because my dad had fought, and I thought that was kind of your duty."
Wilkerson arrived as an Army officer piloting an OH-6A Cayuse observation helicopter and logged about 1100 combat hours over a year. He flew low and slow through South Vietnam, and was involved in one incident in which he says he prevented a war crime by purposely placing his helicopter between a position that was full of civilians, and another helicopter that wanted to launch an attack on the position. He also had many vocal disagreements with his superiors and his own gunner crew over free-fire zones, including an incident in which one of his crew shot a wagon that wound up having a little girl inside it.[4]
He went on to Airborne School and Ranger School before receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature and graduate degrees in international relations and national security. He attended the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and later returned there to teach. He later served as deputy director of the Marine Corps War College at Quantico.
劳伦斯·威尔克森（Lawrence B. Wilkerson，1945 年 6 月 15 日出生）是美国退役陆军上校，曾任美国国务卿科林·鲍威尔的幕僚长。 自从他的军事生涯结束以来，威尔克森批评了伊拉克战争的许多方面，包括他自己准备鲍威尔向联合国安理会的陈述，以及美国在中东政策的其他方面。 他是终生的共和党人，坚定地站在政治右翼一边。
威尔克森出生于南卡罗来纳州的加夫尼。 在巴克内尔大学学习了三年哲学和英国文学之后，威尔克森于 1966 年退学并自愿参加了越南战争。 他告诉《华盛顿邮报》：“我觉得有一种义务，因为我父亲曾战斗过，我认为这是你的责任。”
威尔克森作为一名驾驶 OH-6A Cayuse 观察直升机的陆军军官抵达，并在一年内记录了大约 1100 小时的战斗时间。 他低空缓慢地飞过南越，并卷入了一起事件，他说他故意将他的直升机放在一个满是平民的位置和另一架想要对该位置发动攻击的直升机之间，从而避免了战争罪 . 他还与他的上级和他自己的炮手组在自由射击区问题上发生了许多口头上的分歧，其中包括他的一名组员开枪射击了一辆货车，结果车内有一个小女孩。 [4]
在获得英国文学文学学士学位和国际关系与国家安全研究生学位之前，他继续就读于空降学校和游骑兵学校。 他曾就读于罗德岛纽波特的海军战争学院，后来返回那里任教。 后来他担任匡蒂科海军陆战队战争学院的副主任。
