Makemake ʻoe i ke ʻano o ka US media i kēlā me kēia makahiki e pili ana i kahi "kaua ma ka Kalikimaka" ma ke ʻano he mea pili ʻole i nā kaua, ʻoiai ʻo ka pūʻali koa US he mau kaua maoli e hele ana i ka Kalikimaka, e like me kēlā me kēia lā. Malia paha i ka Kalikimaka, ʻoiai ʻo ka pepehi ʻana o George Washington i nā koa Pelekania ʻona a hiamoe i ka Kalikimaka 1776 ua lilo i "kūikawā" i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ka mea mua loa i loko o kahi mau miliona o nā hana "kūikawā" hanohano, a ʻo nā kaua i kēia manawa maʻamau. he mau hana oh-so-special.
a hiki aku i ka New York Times hoike ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope mai i kahi pōkā 2019 o kahi lehulehu o nā makaʻāinana ma Suria, ua hoʻokumu ʻia, e like me ia he pepehi kanaka drone-missile ma Kabul i hala ma hope o 20 mau makahiki o ia mau pepehi kanaka ma Afghanistan, ma ke ʻano he ʻano aberration. Akā ʻo ka manawa manaʻo ʻia ma hope he koi e hōʻike ʻO ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Suria ma hope o ke ʻano o ka pepehi ʻana e kahi hui kūikawā huna nui i hoʻomalu i ke kaua. Me he mea lā ua hiki i kekahi o nā Lā ' kumu, kanaka kuleana no ka pepehi kanaka, ua koi i ka manawa e hiki mai ana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, i ka wā i hiki mai ai i ka pepehi ʻana o Kabul i kahi ʻohana hala ʻole, ua "ʻimi" ka pūʻali koa US iā ia iho a i hoʻoholo ʻAʻohe mea i hana hewa - ʻaʻole wale he hopena kānalua, akā ua hōʻea kekahi ma muli o kahi kuleana i hāʻawi ʻole ʻia i nā mea pepehi kanaka ʻē aʻe ma ka Honua.
Ke hoʻouka kaua nei ke aupuni US a me ke komo ʻana i ke kaua ma Yemen, * STILL * ka mālama ʻana i nā pūʻali i makemake ʻole ʻia ma Iraq, a me ka pana ʻana a me ka koi ʻana i ke kuleana e hoʻomau i ka pana ʻana iā Suria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, etc. Ua oki ke aupuni US i ka hōʻike ʻana ma kona mau pahū ma he aha ke kumu no ka poʻe nūpepa koʻikoʻi. No laila, paʻakikī ke ʻike i ka nui ka hoikeike ʻO ka hopena maikaʻi i nā pōkā āpau ma muli o ka emi ʻana o nā pōkā a me ka nui o ka emi ʻana o ka hōʻike. Ua ʻike mākou, ma kekahi pae, ke hoʻomau nei ka pōʻino a me ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana o nā pōkā, a me ka hoʻokau ʻana o nā pūʻali "kūikawā" i nā lāhui he nui. Ua ʻike mākou ua koi ʻo Biden i kahi kālā pūʻali koa nui aʻe ma mua o Trump, a ua hāʻawi ʻo Congress iā ia i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o kāna koi. Ua ʻike mākou ʻo nā mea āpau e hiki ke hana e hoʻonui i ka pilikia o ke kaua nui ma Ukraine, Taiwan, a me Iran ke hana ʻia nei, ʻoiai ʻo ka US ka manawa e hoʻomau i ka pale ʻana i ka maluhia ma Korea. ʻIke mākou e kahe ana nā mea kaua i kēlā me kēia ʻono o ke aupuni ʻino a puni ka honua i waho o nā awa US e like me ka pus mai kahi maʻi imperial.
Ua lōʻihi ka manawa a ke Kakauolelo Nui o ka United Nations i hoʻoholo ai i kahi truce maʻi maʻi. E hiki mai ana i Feberuari, aia kekahi mau 'Olumepika hou, me ka 'ole o ka 'Olumepika truce no ka mea i loa'a mua. Ke kamaʻilio nei nā hui maluhia e noi ana i ka Congress ma 2022 e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻopau i ke komo ʻana o US i ke kaua ma Yemen. (Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻo Kekemapa no ke kūʻai ʻana a me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana me nā kipi hoʻolaha.) Akā, pehea ka mea e pili ana i kahi mea koke? Pehea e pili ana i ka Kalikimaka a i ʻole Hanukkah a i ʻole Kwanzaa a i ʻole Solstice truce? (Manaʻo wau e hui pū me ka "kaua ma ka Kalikimaka" i kēlā ʻōlelo hope e maopopo ai ke manaʻo nei au e hoʻopau i nā kaua maoli.) Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, he paʻakikī loa ka hoʻomaha Kalikimaka. ʻAʻole maopopo ka lehulehu, a ua kūʻai aku ka ʻaha kūkā.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, no ka poʻe koa ea e hoʻopuka wale i kahi hoʻoholo mana kaua a koho i ka "Yay," ke noi liʻiliʻi nei mākou. ʻO nā hana Kalikimaka o ke Kaua Honua I hana ʻia e ka poʻe e hoʻoweliweli maoli nei i ko lākou ola a lanakila i ka ʻai paʻa o ka propaganda e aloha ai i ko lākou mau ʻenemi - ʻaʻole ma luna o Zoom. He ikaika ka pūʻali koa, akā, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopau i nā lālā o ka ʻaha kūkā 535 inā pau lākou a pau i 7 a i ʻole 8 mau minuke mai kā lākou mau hana koʻikoʻi e hoʻopau i nā kaua āpau o US.
Manaʻo wau i kēlā me kēia makahiki inā ʻaʻole pinepine mākou e hoʻāʻo e hoʻomanaʻo i ka mea i hana i ka wā o ke Kaua Nui (nui kuʻu hoki):
