English to Russian translations [PRO]
Government / Politics
English term or phrase: brink of peace
We petition the Obama Administration to:
Give to President Putin the Nobel Peace Prize Mr. Obama was given in 2009.

Where as Mr. Obama made a sincere commitment to starting a war with Syria, engaging our military in unwanted conflict, and doing so without the support of his people we resolve that Mr. Obama should deliver the Nobel Peace prize given to him in 2009 to a man of Peace, the President of Russia, Mr. Putin. Where as Mr. Putin enabled the United States to avoid an unwanted and unwarranted military action he has brought us to the "brink" of peace.

Коллеги, а каковы ваши варианты перевода завершающей фразы? Понятно, что слово “brink” здесь использовано не случайно, оно должно ассоциироваться с выражением “to be on the brink of war (bankruptcy)” — быть на грани войны (банкротства и т.п.). Но «на грани мира» мы сказать не можем. У меня пока такой вариант: «…он приблизил нас к торжеству мира».

на "грани" мира.


Explanation:
*Благодаря ему мы оказались на "грани" мира.
Думаю, что "brink" в кавычках в противовес расхожему " на грани войны".
