Ua hoʻohiki ʻo Bill Clinton e pani i ke kahua i ka makahiki 1996. Akā ʻo nā hoʻolālā no ke kūkulu hou ʻana a me ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka manaʻo i ka Pākīpika e hoʻopilikia mau loa i nā mokupuni a me ko lākou ʻano like ʻole.
KE AHIAHI APERILA ma Tokyo, ua hoʻohiki ka Pelekikena ʻAmelika e hōʻemi i ka noho ʻana o kona pūʻali koa ma Okinawa. ʻEkolu mau lālā lawelawe o ʻAmelika i hoʻopaʻapaʻa i kahi kaikamahine ʻOkinawan he 12 makahiki i ka mahina o Kepakemapa i hala, a ua hoʻolilo nā kamaʻāina huhū i mau mahina e kūʻē i ka ʻoihana paʻa o ka prefecture o Iapana o nā kahua US.
"I ka manawa i noi mai ai ke Kuhina Nui iā mākou e noʻonoʻo i nā manaʻo o ka poʻe o Okinawa a ua kamaʻāina wau iā lākou, ma muli o kekahi mau mea pōʻino āu i ʻike pono ai," mai la ʻO Pelekikena Bill Clinton, e kū pū ana me ke Kuhina Nui o Iapana ʻo Ryutaro Hashimoto, ma ka haʻiʻōlelo ʻo ʻApelila 1996, "ua pilikia iaʻu ʻaʻole i hoʻoholo ʻia kēia mau mea ma mua o kēia manawa, ma mua o kēia manawa." Ua ʻae kāna alakaʻi e pani i ka Futenma Air Station, kahi kahua nui o ka Marine Corps ma ke kūlanakauhale nui o Okinawan o Ginowan, i loko o ʻelima a ʻehiku mau makahiki.
Ma ke ahiahi Poalua ma Wakinekona, 87 Okinawan a me nā hui kīwila honua e hoʻouna aku i kahi leka i ka Hale a me nā Kōmike ʻOihana Armed Senate, e koi ana i ka Democratic Congress ma lalo o ka Pelekikena Joe Biden e pani hope i ka waihona.

ʻOiai e kali ana ka poʻe kīwila Okinawan, ua wehe ʻia ʻo Futenma, a ke hoʻomau nei ka poʻe Marines e kū nei ma laila e hōʻike ikaika i ko lākou alo. Ua ʻike nā wahi a puni i kahi helikopter koa kui ma Okinawa International University a hāʻule kekahi ʻāpana i ka pā o Futenma No. 2 kula haʻahaʻa. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Ginowan a me nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe o Okinawan me ka wai haumia mai ka pūʻali koa ʻona huʻa ahi a paipu wahie. A ʻo Futenma, ʻoiai ʻo ke kikowaena o ka pana ʻana no ka pani ʻana, ua mamao loa ia mai ka waihona US wale nō e hoʻopilikia ai: ʻO Okinawa, me kahi ʻāina ʻelua hapakolu ka nui o Rhode Island, he 32 mau pūʻali koa US.
ʻO ka hopu ʻana, ʻaʻole ia he pani maoli; he hoʻoneʻe. I nā maka o ke aupuni US a me Iapana, pono e hoʻopau ʻia ka papahana kumu hou, i kapa ʻia ʻo Futenma Replacement Facility, a i ʻole FRF, ma mua o ka pani ʻana o Futenma. I mea e hoʻopau ai, pono ke aupuni Kepani e hoʻolei i ka ʻāina hoʻoili - kumu mai i nā manawa-hoʻopaʻapaʻa nā wahi ma Iapana a me Okinawa — i loko o Henoko-Oura Bay, kahi wahi o nā ʻano like ʻole like ʻole ma kahi o 26 mau mile mai Futenma. "Mai kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻenekinia," wahi a ka leka, "ʻaʻohe manaʻo e kūkulu ʻia kāna hiʻohiʻona wehewehe," kahi pae pae mokulele, "e kūkulu ʻia." Ma hope o kahi noiʻi honua i mālama ʻia e ke aupuni Iapana, ua ili kai kahi i hoʻoholo ʻia ai ke ala holo mokulele nui "ʻoluʻolu e like me ka mayonnaise."
Hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia e nā hui 52 mai Okinawa a me Iapana a me 35 mai nā ʻāina ʻē, me ka Asia Pacific American Labor Alliance, ka Center for Biological Diversity, a me CODEPINK, hiki mai ka leka i ka manawa o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa kiʻekiʻe ma waena o nā mana Western-aligned a me Kina ma luna o ke kūʻokoʻa o Taiwan. Ma muli o kona pili kokoke i Taiwan, ʻo Okinawa - nona nā pūʻali koa US e noho ana i ka 15 pakeneka o ka ʻāina o ka mokupuni nui - ua manaʻo ʻia he wahi hoʻolālā koʻikoʻi. ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻāina e hoʻokumu i kahi kahua hou ma laila, i manaʻo ʻia, he mea koʻikoʻi ke kūʻē iā Kina; ʻO ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa wale ʻana i ka 31 ʻaʻole ia o ka nīnau.
"He mea koʻikoʻi ʻo Okinawa i ka mōʻaukala o Taiwan, a me ka manaʻo o ke ʻano o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana a i ʻole ka loaʻa ʻana o Kina," i haʻi aku ai ʻo James Lin, he mea kākau moʻolelo o Taiwan hou ma ke Kulanui o Wakinekona, The Intercept. "No laila ke manaʻo nei au inā loaʻa kekahi ʻano hakakā e pili nui ana ʻo Okinawa."
I Malaki, ke aupuni o Iapana hai aku ʻO Okinawa kahi "ʻāpana hakakā" i ka hopena o kahi pilikia Taiwan.
ʻO ka mahina i hala aku nei, ʻo ke Kuhina Palekana Kepani ʻo Nobuo Kishi i haʻi aku i ka nūpepa ʻElima mau pahu hoʻāʻo ballistic Kina i pae i ka "ʻāpana waiwai kūʻokoʻa" o Iapana no ka manawa mua loa. ʻO nā missiles, i hoʻouna ʻia i pane i kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa kipa i Taipei na House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, i hōʻike ʻia i pae i ka wai ma ke komohana hema o Hateruma: kekahi o nā mokupuni hema loa o Okinawa Prefecture, kokoke i 300 mile mai ka mokupuni nui a ma kahi o ka hapalua o kēlā mamao mai Taiwan.
I loko o hoʻokahi mahina ma hope mai, ua alakaʻi ʻo Kina i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa kaua a kau i ka hoʻopaʻi hoʻokele waiwai ma Taiwan, ʻūlū drones a me nā mokulele ma o Taiwanese airspace a Ka Hoʻopāpā ka lawe ʻana mai a me ka lawe ʻana aku i nā huaʻai like ʻole, nā iʻa, a me ke one ma ke ʻano he papa inoa hoʻonui mau o nā luna US i huakaʻi i ka mokupuni.
ʻO ka papa inoa o nā hoa kipa kiʻekiʻe i komo pū me Sens Ed Markey, D-Mass., a me Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.; Lunamakaainana John Garamendi, D-Calif.; Don Beyer, D-Va.; Alan Lowenthal, D-Calif.; Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen, R-American Samoa; a me na kiaaina Repubalika Eric Holcomb o Indiana a me Doug Ducey o Arizona. Ua kaulana loa nā ʻelele o ka ʻaha kūkā ma Taiwan, wahi a Lin, ʻoiai ʻo ka kipa ʻana o Pelosi "he pōʻino maoli a he hopena koʻikoʻi no Taiwan, e pili ana i nā hoʻopaʻi hoʻokele waiwai, e pili ana i nā hoʻokolohua missile."
"ʻO ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka ʻāʻī ma waena o ʻAmelika a me Kina ua hōʻoluʻolu ʻole mākou i ka noho ʻana ma ʻaneʻi," ʻo Hideki Yoshikawa, ka luna o ka Okinawa Environmental Justice Project a me ka mea kākau alakaʻi o ka leka, i kākau ma ka leka uila i The Intercept. ʻOiai ʻo ia e hoʻāʻo nei ʻaʻole e lilo i mea hoʻoweliweli a hoʻokūkū paha i nā hiʻohiʻona ʻino loa, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Yoshikawa, "ʻo ka mea i hana ʻia ma Ukraine mai Feb.
KA DYNAMIC MAWENA ʻO Iapana a me Okinawa ma nā ʻano he nui e like me ka pilina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa me Hawaiʻi. E like me kēlā pae ʻāina Pākīpika, ua hoʻomalu ʻia ʻo Okinawa e kahi mōʻī kūloko, i ʻike ʻia ma ka hihia o Okinawa ʻo ke Aupuni Ryukyu. Ua hakakā ʻo Imperial Iapana a me Kina no ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka Ryukyus, ka mea i kālepa me nā aupuni ʻelua no nā keneturia, a hiki i ka hoʻohui ʻana o Iapana iā ia i ka makahiki 1879. ʻO ka lanakila ʻana o Iapana i hoʻolilo i ka pae moku i lilo ʻo Okinawa ka ʻāina ʻōpio ʻōpio, e like me kahi mokuʻāina ʻo US.

Ma hope o ke Kaua Honua II, ua haʻalele maoli ʻo Iapana i kāna pūʻali koa a me kona prefecture hema loa: ʻO kahi kauoha maluhia hou i loko o ke kumukānāwai i pāpā iā ia mai ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pūʻali koa me ka hiki ke hana hewa, a ua hoʻokomo ʻo 1951 Treaty of San Francisco iā Okinawa ma lalo o US hooponopono kivila. Ma kahi o 20 mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻi nā mokupuni i ka mana Iapana, me ke ʻano e hiki ai i ka US ke mālama i ka ʻoihana koa ma kahi pūnaewele o nā waihona - i manaʻo ʻia he "hoʻopaʻapaʻa hoʻolālā" kūʻē iā Kina a me kahi pale pale no Iapana. I kēia manawa, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻāʻī ʻana ma luna o Taiwan, kū ʻo Okinawa e hoʻopau i nā crosshair.
"Inā he ʻoiaʻiʻo ka hakakā kaua ma waena o nā mana nui ʻelua (US a me Kina), me Iapana e pili ana, ma ka hoʻolālā a i ʻole ma ka pōʻino, manaʻo wau e lele nā missiles mai Kina (a i ʻole kona mau moku kaua a me nā mokulele) e paʻi iā US. nā kahua a me nā pūʻali koa ʻo Iapana Self-Defense Forces ma Okinawa, "i ʻōlelo ʻo Yoshikawa i ka Intercept.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ʻAmelika i kāna mau pūʻali ma Okinawa ma waena o kahi hanana kiʻekiʻe ma mua e pili ana iā Taiwan: I ka wā o ka Pilikia ʻekolu o Taiwan Strait, ua kauoha ka luna aupuni o Clinton i nā ʻauwaʻa o nā moku kaua ʻAmelika e holo mai ʻOkinawa ma o ke koʻikoʻi no ka pane ʻana i ke ʻano o nā hoʻokolohua missile Kina.
