Na Konela Ann Wright, US Army (Retired)

Ua ʻike mua mākou i kēia. Hoʻokumu ka US i kahi kūlana, ʻeli i kona mau kuʻekuʻe wāwae a hana i nā ultimatums - a make nā ʻumi tausani.

Ua haʻalele au mai ke aupuni ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 2003 e kūʻē i ke kaua ʻē aʻe-Peresidena Bush kaua ma Iraq ma hope o kēlā puke pāʻani kaua.

Ua ʻike mākou ma Afghanistan a me Iraq a i kēia manawa aia paha ma luna o Ukraine a me Taiwan, a ʻo ʻae, mai poina iā mākou i nā hoʻokolohua missile he nui mai North Korea, ʻo nā mea kaua ISIS e hoʻohaunaele ana a pakele mai nā hale paʻahao ma Suria, nā miliona ma Afghanistan e pōloli ana. a me ka maloo ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana a me ka hōʻole ʻana i ka wehe ʻana i nā waiwai kālā paʻa o Afghanistan.

Hoʻohui i kēia mau pōʻino, ka manaʻo a me ke kino i hana ʻia i nā pūʻali koa ponoʻī o ka pūʻali koa US ma muli o ka ʻona ʻana i ka wai inu o 93,000 mau kānaka, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻohana o ka US Navy a me nā limahana Air Force i ke kauoha Indo-Pacific ma Hawaii, mai kahi 80-makahiki-kahiko leaking jet wahie pahu pahu i hoolele i loko o ka inu wai puna, me ka olelo ao ana ma luna o ka 20 makahiki manawa, ka US Navy ua hōʻole e pani, a oe i ka pūʻali koa e kikoo aku i kahi pilikia.

Mai ka poʻe hana kulekele koa US ma Wakinekona, a hiki i nā kāmaʻa ma ka honua ma ʻEulopa a me ka Hikina Waena a me nā mea i loko o nā moku a me nā mokulele i ka Pākīpika, aia ka pūʻali koa US i kahi wahi haʻihaʻi.

Ma kahi o ka lohi a hoʻi hope, ua alakaʻi ʻia ke alakaʻi ʻo Biden e kahi Kakauolelo koʻikoʻi o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Antony Blinken a me kahi Kakauolelo ʻo Defence Lloyd Austin, a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Pelekikena Biden i kahi kukui ʻōmaʻomaʻo weliweli e piʻi i nā ʻaoʻao āpau ma ka manawa like.

ʻOiai ua paʻi ka hana kaua kaua US i ka pihi wikiwiki ma nā steroids, ke kāhea nei ʻo Russia a me Kina i nā lima diplomatic a me nā pūʻali koa o ʻAmelika i ka manawa like.

Ua hoʻonoho ʻo Pelekikena Putin i 125,000 i ka palena o Ukraine e lawe ana i ke poʻo i ka koi a ka Russian Federation i ka US a me NATO ma hope o 30 mau makahiki o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā ʻāina ʻo Warsaw Pact i NATO ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki a Pelekikena HW Bush ʻaʻole ʻo ka US, ʻo ka US. a ʻo NATO hoʻolaha kūkala ʻaʻole ʻo NATO e kiʻi iā Ukraine i loko o kāna pūʻali koa.

Ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka honua, ma ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAsia-Pākīpika, ke pane aku nei ʻo Pelekikena Xi o Kina i ka US "Pivot to Asia" nāna i hoʻolei i ke kulekele 50-makahiki US no ka ʻike diplomatic o ka People's Republic of Kina a ke hoʻomau nei. , akā ʻaʻole hoʻolaha, kākoʻo waiwai a me ka pūʻali koa o Taiwan. Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ke kulekele "One-China" i nā makahiki i hala i ka makahiki 1970 ma lalo o ka hoʻokele Nixon.

Ua hoʻomaka ka US "Pivot to Asia" ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana o nā pūʻali koa US mai Iraq a me ka huki ʻana o ka pūʻali koa US mai Afghanistan, i ka wā i makemake ai ka hoʻomalu ʻana o Obama i kahi hakakā pūʻali koa no ka makemake o nā ʻoihana kaua US (ʻaʻole pale).

ʻO nā mikiona manuwa "Freedom of Navigation" kani hewa ʻole e hoʻopaʻa i ka noho aliʻi ʻana o ka US ma ke Kai Kina Hema ua lilo ia i misionari naval NATO me nā moku mai United Kingdom a me Palani e hui pū ana me US armada ma ka pā kahakai o Kina.

ʻO nā mikiona pili aupuni US i Taiwan i hana ʻole ʻia i loko o 50 mau makahiki i hoʻomaka ma lalo o ka hoʻokele Trump a i kēia manawa ua loaʻa i nā luna aupuni kiʻekiʻe loa o ʻAmelika i loko o ʻelima mau makahiki e hoʻolaha nui ana i nā huakaʻi i Taiwan ma ke ʻano he lāʻau e hoʻomake ai i ka maka o ke aupuni Kina.

Ua pane aku ke aupuni Kina i nā hana a ka US ma ke Kai Kina Hema ma ke kūkulu ʻana i nā pūʻali koa ma luna o nā ʻātoli liʻiliʻi ma kahi laina pale a hoʻouna i kāna mau moku moku ponoʻī i loko o kona mau kai kahakai. Ua kamaʻilio ʻo Kina i ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ke kūʻai ʻana aku i nā lako kaua o ʻAmelika iā Taiwan a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka US i kona hoʻouna ʻana i nā limahana hoʻomaʻamaʻa koa US i Taiwan ma o ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā ʻauwaʻa a hiki i 40 mau mokulele koa i ka manawa pōkole he 20 mau mile ma waena o ke Straits of Taiwan mai ka ʻāina nui o Kina a ka lihi o ka ʻāpana pale ea o Taiwan e koi ana i ka Air Force Taiwan e hoʻāla i kāna ʻōnaehana pale lewa.

Hoʻi i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ka honua, ma hope o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka hoʻokahuli aupuni ma Ukraine ma 2013 (e hoʻomanaʻo iā Victoria Nuland, i kēia manawa ʻo ke Kakauolelo o ka Moku'āina ʻo Moku'āina no ka Policy, ʻo 7 mau makahiki i hala aku nei ma ke ʻano he Kokua Kākau'ōlelo o ka Moku'āina no ʻEulopa). ʻO ke alakaʻi kipi Ukrainian "ʻO Yats kā mākou kanaka." ʻO ke kipi i kākoʻo ʻia e ka US ma Ukraine ua hoʻopio i ka balota o nā kamaʻāina o Crimea i kono i ka Russian Federation e hoʻohui iā Crimea.

ʻOiai nā hōʻike ʻē aʻe o ka US media, ʻaʻohe hoʻouka kaua Lūkini ma Crimea ma hope o ka hoʻokahuli aupuni ma Ukraine a ma mua o ke koho balota o ka poʻe ma Crimea. ʻAʻole i kī ʻia kahi pana i ke alakaʻi ʻana i ke koho balota ma Crimea. Aia kekahi pūʻali Lūkini i Crimea ma lalo o ka ʻaelike 60-makahiki ma waena o ka Soviet Union / a laila Russian Federation i hoʻolako i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka pūʻali koa Lūkini ma Crimea ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kāna Fleet Black Sea. ʻO ke komo wale ʻana o ka Fleet i ke Kaiwaenahonua ma o nā awa o ke Kai ʻEleʻele o Sevastopol a me Yalta.

68 mau makahiki i hala aku nei i ka makahiki 1954, ua hoʻololi ke Kuhina Nui Soviet a me ka lāhui Ukrainian Nikita Khrushchev i ka mana o Crimea i Ukraine, ma ka 300^th lā hoʻomanaʻo o ka hui ʻana o Rusia-Ukrainian.

Ma hope o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o ka Soviet Union, ua kau inoa ʻo Russia a me Ukraine ʻekolu mau ʻaelike i ka makahiki 1997 e hoʻomalu ana i ke kūlana o ka Auwaa Kai Eleele. Ua māhele ʻia nā ʻauwaʻa ma waena o Kyiv a me Moscow. Ua loaʻa iā Rūsia ka nui o nā moku kaua a ua uku aku i ke aupuni paʻa kālā o Ukraine he $526 miliona no ka uku. I ka hoʻololi ʻana, ua ʻae pū ʻo Kyiv e hoʻolimalima i nā hale moana Crimean i ka ʻāpana Lūkini o ka ʻauwaʻa no $ 97 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma lalo o kahi hoʻolimalima i hoʻololi ʻia i 2010 a pau i ka makahiki 2042.

Eia hou, ma lalo o nā ʻaelike, ua ʻae ʻia ʻo Rūsia e hoʻonoho i nā pūʻali koa he 25,000, 132 mau kaʻa kaua kaua a me 24 mau ʻāpana pū ma kāna mau pūʻali koa ma Crimea. Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kēia mau ʻaelike, ua koi ʻia nā pūʻali koa Lūkini e "mahalo i ke aupuni o Ukraine, e hoʻohanohano i kāna kānāwai a pale i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā hana kūloko o Ukraine."

Ua pane aku ka US a me NATO me nā hoʻopaʻi ikaika i ka hoʻohui ʻana iā Crimea. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā hoʻopaʻi i kau ʻia ma ka Russian Federation ma luna o ka neʻe hoʻokaʻawale ʻana ma ka Dombass hikina wahi o Ukraine e nā lāhui Lūkini e manaʻo nei ʻaʻole i mahalo ʻia ko lākou hoʻoilina e ke aupuni Ukrainian me ka hoʻōki ʻana i ke aʻo ʻana i ka Lūkini ma nā kula a me ka nele o nā kumuwaiwai no ko lākou ʻāina. nā hoʻopiʻi like i loaʻa i nā kamaʻāina o Crimea.

Ke hoʻomau nei ka Russian Federation ʻaʻole ʻaʻohe pūʻali koa Lūkini i ʻāpana o ka neʻe kaʻawale, aʻu i manaʻo ai, ʻo nā ʻōlelo aniani i hana ʻia e ka US i kāna kākoʻo ʻana i nā hui ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.

125,000 Russian pūʻali koa ua hoʻonoho ʻia ma ka palena o Ukraine ma kahi neʻe ʻana e ka Russian Federation ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kāna koi ākea e ʻaʻole e kiʻi ʻo NATO i nā lālā o Ukraine. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo Rūsia no nā makahiki he nui i ka ʻae ʻana o ka Pelekikena George HW Bush a me ka Pelekikena Lūkini Gorbahev ʻaʻole e ʻae ʻo NATO i nā ʻāina Warsaw Pact kahiko e pili ana iā Rūsia i loko o NATO ua uhaki ʻia me ka ʻae ʻia ma 1999 Polani, ka Czech Republic, a me Hungary, a ma 2004 ʻO Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, a me nā ʻāina Baltic o Latvia, Estonia a me Lithuania i hui pū me NATO. ʻO nā mokuʻāina hou loa e hoʻohui ʻia i NATO ʻo Montenegro i 2017 a me North Macedonia i 2020.

ʻO Belarus wale nō, Ukraine, Bosnia a me Herzegovina, Georgia a me Serbia o nā ʻāina Warsaw Pact kahiko ʻaʻole lākou he lālā o NATO.

ʻAʻole nā ​​​​lālā āpau o NATO ma luna o ka hakakā US me Russia. ʻOiai ʻo 40 ka nui o ke kinoea hoʻomehana no ʻEulopa e hele mai ana mai Rūsia ma Ukraine, hopohopo pono nā alakaʻi o ʻEulopa e pili ana i kahi ʻano ʻino kūloko i ka wā e maloʻo ai ko lākou mau home me ka wela ʻole.

Ua pane aku ka US i ka koi Lūkini e lilo ʻo Ukraine i lālā o NATO me ka strident NO, ua hoʻouna i ka hoʻonui nui a me ka lehulehu i nā mea kaua i Ukraine a ua hoʻokau i ka pūʻali koa US 8,500 i ka makaʻala kiʻekiʻe.

Ma ka Pākīpika komohana, kūʻē nā armadas kekahi i kekahi, lele nā ​​ʻauwaʻa mokulele ma kahi kokoke a ke hoʻomau nei ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o ka missile pōkole ʻo North Korea. ʻO ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻopau i ka wai o 93,000 ʻohana nona ka wai i ʻona ʻia mai nā pahu pahu wahie ma lalo o ka honua kahiko ma kahi o 100 kapuaʻi wale nō ma luna o ka wai o Honolulu.

Ua hoʻokumu ka poʻe kālai'āina o ʻAmelika, nā poʻe manaʻo noʻonoʻo a me nā mea hana kaua aupuni i kahi lewa kaua ma nā ʻaoʻao he nui.

Hoʻopili ʻia ka pūʻali koa US a hiki i ka hiki, inā ʻaʻole paha, o kahi hanana / ulia i hiki ke hoʻopau i kahi kaulahao o nā hanana e pōʻino ai ka honua.

Ke koi nei mākou i ke kūkākūkā maoli, kamaʻilio, diplomacy ma nā steroid ma mua o ke kaua-mongering e hoʻopakele i nā ola o nā makaʻāinana hala ʻole e pili ana i ka honua.

No ka mea kākau: Ua lawelawe ʻo Ann Wright i 29 mau makahiki ma ka US Army/Army Reserves a ua hoʻomaha ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he Konela. He diplomat ʻAmelika ʻo ia a lawelawe ʻo ia ma nā ʻelele US ma Nicaragua, Grenada, Somalia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan a me Mongolia. Ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ke aupuni US i ka makahiki 2003 e kūʻē i ke kaua a Pelekikena Bush ma Iraq. ʻO ia ka mea kākau pū o "Dissent: Voices of Conscience."
