"ʻO ka haki o ka mokuʻo Libya ua loaʻa i nā wahi ākea o ka ʻāina, me nā kahe o nā kānaka a me nā mea kaua e hōʻino ai i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe ma ʻAmelika Hema." ʻO kēia ʻōlelo mai ka Sāfanl's Intelbrief hou nei, i kapa ʻia "Fighting Over Access to Libya's Energy Equipment" (24 Ianuali 2020). 

Ke hoʻolohe nei anei ʻoe, ʻo Barack Obama?

"Aia ka 'ano i loko o kēia kaona [Wakinekona, DC] i ke kaua," i ʻōlelo mai ai ʻo Pelekikena Obama me kekahi poʻe ʻē aʻe i ʻākoakoa i loko o ka Hale Kiʻi ʻo White House ma Sepatemaba 10, 2015, aneane ʻehiku mau makahiki i loko o kāna pelekikena. I kēia manawa, manaʻo wau e noʻonoʻo nei ʻo ia i nā hewa nui āna i hana ai me ke komo ʻana i loko o Libya i ka makahiki 2011, me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o ka mana pelekikena o ka United Nations Security Council 1973.

ʻO ke kākau ʻōlelo a Obama, ʻo John Kerry, e noho kokoke ana ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka pelekikena e like me kā Obama i ʻōlelo ai. Hoʻomaopopo au i ka nīnau ʻana iaʻu iho i ka manawa inā e kamaʻilio nei ʻo ia iā Kerry me ka kaniʻuhū ʻana i kona manaʻo ponoʻī, no ka mea ua nīhai nui ʻia ʻo Kerry i kēlā manawa e pili ana i ke kau ʻana o ko US i ka hoʻoili kaua ma hope aku - a ke neʻe nei - i ke kaua ʻana ma Suria. Aia nō ʻo Obama, ʻaʻohe mea o ia mea.

ʻO ke kumu ʻo ka hoʻāpono ʻole ʻia ʻo Libya ʻaʻole wale i ka make nui o ka alakaʻi o Libya, ʻo Muammar Qaddafi - a hoʻonoho i ka hoʻonāukiuki a me ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka hoʻoili kaua koa no ke poʻo inoa o "ka poʻe e lula ʻo Libya," kono kāhea i nā mana o waho mai nā moku āpau o ʻAmelika a hui pū i ka pīhoihoi, a hoʻokuʻu i kahi kahe e holo aku ana i kēlā kai o loko - ua kau pū nō hoʻi ia i ka mea kaua i kekahi o nā puʻupuʻu lima nui o ka honua i nā lima o nā hui like ISIS, al-Qaʻida, Lashkar e-Taibi, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. . ^ E Ha yM. Hoʻohui ʻia, ua hoʻohana nui ʻia nā mea kaua mua a Libiana i Suria i kēlā manawa.

Ma mua o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka hoʻomaikaʻi haʻahaʻa no Obama i ke aʻo ʻana i kāna haʻawina a no laila, ʻaʻole i hoʻoholo i ka hoʻopili ʻana ma Suria ma kahi ʻano ʻoi aku ka hopena, pono mākou e pane aʻe i ka nīnau: No ke aha e hana ai nā luna i nā hoʻoholo ʻino e like me Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan a, ʻapōpō paha, Iran?

Ua pane aku ʻo Pelekikena Dwight Eisenhower i kēia nīnau, ma ka hapa nui, i ka makahiki 1961: "ʻAʻole mākou e ʻae i ka paona o kēia hui ʻana. … He poʻe makaʻāina wale nō a ʻike i hiki i ke kanaka ke hoʻoikaika i ka lau ʻana i nā ʻoihana nunui a me nā lako koa o ka pale me kā mākou mau kaʻina maluhia a me nā pahuhopu. "

Ma kahi maʻalahi, ʻaʻole i hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo ʻAmelika i ka makaʻāina a ʻike i ka ʻike, a ʻo ka Komplek a Eisenhower e wehewehe pono nei, ʻoiaʻiʻo nō, a me nā ala ʻaʻole hiki iā Eisenhower ke noʻonoʻo, e hoʻoweliweli i kā mākou mau kīʻaha a me nā hana demokalaka. Hoʻokumu ka ʻahana i ka "bias" i wehewehe ʻia e Pelekikena Obama.  Eia kekahi, i kēia lā ua hoʻomake ke US Congress i ka Complex - $ 738 biliona i kēia makahiki me ka loaʻa ʻole o ka waihona kālā hōʻuluʻulu ʻole e kokoke ana he $ 72 miliona a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lilo o ka palapala kākau i ke kaua, ʻaʻole mau loa, e mau loa ana, a e like hoʻi me Eisenhower i ʻōlelo ai, ua ʻike ʻia i kēlā me kēia kūlanakauhale, kēlā me kēia hale aupuni, nā keʻena āpau o ke Aupuni Federal. "

Ma ka e pili ana i ka "kamaʻāina ʻ alertlelo a me ke akamai," he hopena ʻaʻole wale i ka wā lōʻihi i hoʻoili ʻia i ka hoʻonaʻauao kūpono akā ma ka manawa pōkole e kāohi ʻia ana e ka kuleana a me ka “Manaʻo ʻAwana,” he hewa ʻē aʻe pū kekahi. 

Na ke Komikina no ka hapanui o kona mau manaʻo ponoʻī e hoʻoili i nā mea pili i ka nupepa e pili ana, mai ka nupepa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, The New York Times, i kahi ʻāpana kūwaha o kāna kūlanakauhale, ʻo The Washington Post, i ka pepa hoʻolaha kaiāulu kālā, ʻo The Wall Street Journal. ʻO kēia mau pepa āpau no ka hapa nui ʻaʻole i hoʻokō i kahi hoʻoholo no ke kaua a lākou i makemake ai. Aia wale nō ke "make" o ke kaua a loaʻa kekahi o lākou i ko lākou leo ​​- a laila pau loa.

Mai haʻalele ʻia e ka mea paʻi nūpepa, ua hōʻike ʻia ka mana nui ma ke ʻano TV me nā poʻo o ke kamaʻilio ʻana, ʻo kekahi o lākou i uku ʻia e nā lālā o ka Komplek Eia hou, ʻike lākou i kā lākou mau ʻōlelo koʻikoʻi inā kūleʻa nā kaua, he maopopo loa ua nalowale a hoʻopaʻa ʻia paha ke ʻano, a ʻo ke kumukūʻai nui ke koko a me ka waiwai, a ʻo nā loiloi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kū'ē ʻana iā lākou.

ʻO Marine General Smedley Butler, he manawa ʻelua manawa no Medal hanohano, ua haʻi ʻia he "hewa no ka kapitalism." ʻO kahi wehewehe ʻōlelo no ka manawa o Butler i nā lā mua o ka kenekulia 20. Eia nō naʻe, i kēia manawa kekahi manaʻo koa pūʻali koa e lilo ana i ka paʻakai ma ke ʻano he kamaʻāina paha - e like me Eisenhower - pono i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana he poʻe hewa lākou no ka Complex - ʻo ia ka mea lawe i ka mea kipa o ka moku nui, ʻo ia pū kekahi, kumuhana, ma waho o ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o nā waiwai ʻo ka mea kuleana, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ana ka make o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ma ka lima o ka mokuʻāina. 

Pehea e wehewehe pono ai i nā kāne - a i kēia manawa nā wahine - e kau ana i nā hōkū he nui a me ka hoʻomau e hele mau ana i mua o nā poʻe o ka poʻe i loko o ka Congress a noi i nā kālā he nui a keu aʻe. A ʻo ka hana o ka hōʻaiʻē ʻoi, ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma ka ʻoihana Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) a me ke kūpaʻa ʻo ia no ka hana ʻana i nā kahua o ke kaua, e hana ana i kahi kaʻina hana hoʻākāka kaua. Hāpai ka hapa nui o nā lālā o ka Congress i ko lākou poʻo i ka hilahila i nā mea a lākou i ʻae ai e hana i kēlā me kēia makahiki me kēia ʻeke kālā.

A ʻōlelo a Kaukaʻi ʻo Defence Mark Esper ma ka Center for Strategic and International Studies i kēia pule, ua ʻoluʻolu e hōʻike i ka "manaʻo hou" i ka Pentagon e pili ana i ka hoʻolimalima ʻana, ʻaʻole e hōʻike i ke ʻano o ka hoʻololi maoli ʻana i ka kālā o ka pūʻali koa, he hui hou - ka mea i hoʻohiki ʻole e hōʻemi i nā haʻahaʻa kālā akā e hoʻonui iā lākou. Ma ke kūpono nō naʻe, ke hōʻike nei ʻo Esper ma kahi i waiho ʻia kekahi o nā mea hoʻopiʻi e ʻoi loa ʻo ia i ka ʻĀpekema o ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā noi kālā maʻi maʻi mai ke Pentagon: "Ua haʻi aku nei au i ka Pentagon i ʻelua mau makahiki a me hoʻokahi hapa makahiki ʻaʻole maikaʻi o kā māua kālā - ke wahi lākou i kū ai - a no laila e pono ai mākou he mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kumu kālā ʻauhau. … A, ʻike nō ʻoe, ʻo ka ʻĀneke loa aia ma hope o kēlā. Akā aia manawa kēlā manawa i ka manawa e kō ai ko lākou hope, pono ʻoe e hana i kou ala ma o kēlā. "

"ʻO ka ʻ [hat] i ka manawa i ka wā i kū ai ko lākou hope." He mea hoʻopiʻi iki wale nō ke koi pinepine ʻia e nā lālā o ka kongakoka ʻo Pentagon e hoʻolako i ka puaʻa no ko lākou mau home home (ʻaʻohe mea maikaʻi aʻe ma mua o ka Senate Ua alakaʻi ʻo Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, i loko o kona mau makahiki he Senate i ka miliona mau kālā ʻauhau kālā - ʻoihana pū kekahi me Defence - no kona kūlana home ʻo Kentucky e hōʻoia i kona mau wā lōʻihi i loaʻa ai i kona mana ma ʻaneʻi, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i kahi piker i ka loaʻa ʻana aku o nā kālā kālā. Heʻokoʻa ʻē paha nā poʻe o ke kaapuni i ke ʻano hoʻi i kona hoʻi ʻana i Kentucky a ke hoʻohiki nui nei nei i nā nui puaʻa āna i lawe mai ai i kēlā me kēia makahiki i mea e hoʻonāukiuki ai i kona ʻano ʻino pālākiō). 

Akā, hoʻomau ʻo Esper ma kahi ʻano hou aku: "Aia mākou i kēia manawa i ka manawa. Loaʻa iā mākou kahi hoʻolālā hou. ... He kākoʻo nui kā mākou mai ka ʻekele. … Pono mākou e hoʻokaʻawale i kēia āpau i waena o nā hanana Cold War-era a me nā counter-insurgency, haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o nā makahiki he XNUMX i hala, a e hana i kēia kuapo i kahi hoʻokūkū mana nui me Russia a me China - ʻo China ka luna. "

Inā lawe mai ka Kaua Kiko kahiko i ka manawa e hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā helu koa a ka pūʻali koa, hiki iā mākou ke manaʻo i ke kaua maloʻo hou me Kina e hoʻihoʻi i kēlā mau kālā e nā kauoha nui. A ʻo wai ka mea i hoʻoholo ai e pono ai mākou i ke kaua anuanu hou?

Mai nānā iki aku ma kahi o ka Komplek (kahi e hele mai ana ʻo Esper, ʻaʻole ia me ka ʻike ʻole ʻia, e like me kekahi o nā poʻe ʻoihana nui no Raytheon, he lālā nui o ka Complex). ʻO kekahi o ka hana i nā qua nane ʻo ia ka mea i aʻo ai i ka hapalua kenekulia o ke kaua maloʻo me ka Soviet Union: ʻaʻohe mea o ka honua e hana i nā lima a me ka hana pinepine ma mua o ka hakakā mau me ka mana nui. No laila, ʻaʻohe kumu ikaika hou, ikaika hou no ke kaua anuanu hou me Kina - a hoʻolei aku iā Rūsia i loko o ke kāwili pū kekahi no nā kālā he nui - ʻo ka Complex. 

Eia naʻe, i ka hopena o ka lā, ʻo ka manaʻo nui loa e pono e kūʻai ke US i keu i kēlā me kēia makahiki ka ʻoi aku o kona pūʻali ua hui pū ʻia nā ʻewalu mau ʻewalu i ka honua, ʻo ia ka hapanui o nā hoa ʻāina a ʻAmelika, pono e hōʻike i kahi kamaʻāina me ka ʻike ʻole ʻole e pili ana i ka mea i hewa. Kāwili i kahi kaua hoʻoilo hou; ua hewa loa kekahi mea.

Akā ʻike ikaika loa ia paha ka mana o ka Complex. ʻO ke kaua a me ka kaua hou ka mea o ka hope o ʻAmelika. E like me kā Eisenhower i ʻōlelo ai, ʻo ka "kaupaona o kēia hui" ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻowahāwahā i kā mākou mau kalepona a me nā kaʻina aupuni.

Ke maopopo loa i kēia mau mea, pono mākou e nānā i nā hana lapuwale i nā makahiki i hala iho nei e hakakā hou i ka mana e hana kaua mai ka lālā ʻoihana hoʻokūkū, ʻo ia ka mea i ʻike ʻia me ka mana e hana ai i ka hoʻouka kaua, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana iā James Madison iā mākou, ʻo ia ka nui lawe paha iā ʻoe i ka mana aliʻi.

ʻO Madison, ka "pen" maoli i ke kaʻina hana ʻana i ke Kumukānāwai US, ua hoʻopaʻa i ka mana o ke kaua ma nā lima o ka ʻĀpana. Eia nō naʻe, mai Pelekikena Truman a hiki i Trump, aneane ua ʻae ʻia e nā pelekikena āpau o US ma kahi ʻaoʻao.

ʻO nā hoʻāʻo hou e kekahi mau lālā o ka Aha Kulanui e hoʻohana i kēia mana kumukānāwai kūwaho e hoʻoneʻe i ʻAmelika mai ke kaua ʻino i Yemen, ua hāʻule i ka mana weliweli o ka Complex. ʻAʻole ia he mea hū nā pulu a me nā meli o ka Complex i kau i nā kaʻa ʻoihana, nā hale hānai, nā kaʻina hana kanu ʻana, a me nā hana kūwaho kūwaho i kēlā ʻāina kīwī. Hāʻawi ke kālā i loko o nā coffers o ka Nui. ʻO ia ka mea nui. ʻO kēlā ka mea pono.

Hele mai kahi lā helu helu ʻana; mau nō nā pili o nā lāhui. ʻAe inoa ʻia nā inoa o nā hegemons imperial o ka honua i loko o nā puke moʻolelo. Mai Roma a Britain, ua kākau ʻia lākou ma laila. Eia hoʻi naʻe, ua kākau ʻia he mau pū kekahi o lākou me i kēia lā. Ua hele lākou āpau i loko o ka lepo o ka mōʻaukala.

No laila mākou e hele ai i kekahi lā, e alakaʻi ʻia ma laila e ka Complex a me kāna mau kaua pau ʻole.
