ʻAe like wau me ka luna o nā luna hui o nā limahana ma nā kumu haole

Na David Swanson, Kekemapa 11, 2020

Ua lohe paha ʻoe ua hoʻoholo wale ka Hale o nā Lunamakaʻāinana US i kahi bila e hoʻolilo ai i $ 741 biliona e kapa hou nei i nā inoa o nā pūʻali koa i kapa ʻia ma mua no Confederates. Manaʻo paha ʻoe he manaʻo nui kēlā akā ke haʻohaʻo nei ʻoe i ke kumu kūʻai.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mea huna - ʻoiai ka hapa nui o ka pāpāho e pili ana i ka inoa hou ʻana o nā waihona - ʻo ka bila ponoʻī kokoke loa e pili ana i ke kālā (ʻāpana o) ka mīkini pūʻali koa makamae loa o ka honua: ʻoi aku ka nui o nā nukes, nā mea kaua "maʻamau", ʻoi aku nā mea kaua o ka lewa, ʻoi aku nā F-35 ma mua o ka Pentagon i makemake ai, a pēlā aku.

I kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻo nā ʻāpana kālā o ka pūʻali koa a me nā bila ʻae wale nō nā bila e hele ma waena o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo kahi kahi o ka hapa nui o ka pāpāho e hoʻolaʻa mau ai i kekahi pilikia liʻiliʻi a ʻaʻole loa i ka mea a ka pila e hana maoli ai.

ʻAneʻane ʻaʻole hōʻike ʻia ka pāpāho o kēia mau bila, no ka laʻana, nā waihona haole, a me kā lākou kumukūʻai kālā nui, a me ka nele o ke kākoʻo lehulehu iā lākou. Eia nō naʻe, i kēia manawa, ua ʻōlelo ʻia no ka pāpā ʻia ʻana o kēia pila i ka lawe ʻia ʻana o nā pūʻali koa US a me nā mea hoʻolimalima kālā mai Kelemania a me Afghanistan.

Makemake ʻo Trump e huki i kahi hapa o nā pūʻali koa US mai Kelemania e hoʻopaʻi iā Kelemania - a i ʻole, ke aupuni Kelemania, a i ʻole kekahi Kelemania manaʻo, ʻoiai makemake ka lehulehu Kelemania iā ia. ʻAʻole kūpono a lokomaikaʻi paha nā ʻōlelo a Trump ma Afghanistan ma mua o Kelemania. Akā ʻo ka manaʻo e hiki i kekahi ke kākoʻo i ka haʻalele ʻana o ka pūʻali no nā kumu like ʻole ʻē aʻe ma mua o kā Trump's ʻaneʻane inā ʻaʻole e kāpae loa ʻia mai ka media media US, no ka mea ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia e kahi pāʻina politika nui.

Eia nō naʻe, ka luna o nā poʻo o nā limahana limahana ʻo Mark Milley i kēia pule i hōʻikeʻia ʻo ka ʻike e pani ʻia nā waihona haole o ʻAmelika, a i ʻole kekahi o lākou. Makemake ʻo Milley i kahi Navy nui aʻe, ka inaina nui aku iā Kina, a ke manaʻo nei he kūleʻa ke kaua ma Afghanistan. No laila, ʻaʻole au e ʻaelike me ia ma nā mea āpau, e waiho mālie. ʻO kāna mau kumu no ka makemake ʻana e pani i nā kumu ʻaʻole iaʻu, akā ʻaʻole ia no Trump. No laila, ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke hōʻalo i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i kā Milley noi ma ka haʻi ʻana iā Trumpian.

Ma ka liʻiliʻi he 90% o nā pūʻali koa haole i ka honua he kahua US. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā pūʻali koa 150,000 o ka United States ma waho o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma mua o Nā papahana 800 (kekahi mau manaʻo hoʻoholo oi ma mua o 1000) ma nā ʻāina he 175, a me nā ʻāinapuniʻole ʻelua. ʻO nā kumu pinepine nā pōpilikia kaiapuni, e like me ia i loko o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. A he mau pōpilikia politika pinepine lākou. Ua hōʻoia nā kumu i e hoʻonui i nā kaua, ʻaʻole emi iki. Lawelawe lākou i nā hihia he nui i hāpai i luna aupuni hoʻokaumaha, i hoʻomaka ke kūʻai aku a i ʻole ka makana o nā mea kaua a me ka hoʻolako ʻana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā aupuni hoʻokaumaha, a e hoʻopilikia i nā hana no ka maluhia a me ka disarmament.

E like me ka ʻAtikala AP paʻi ʻia ʻaneʻane ma hea, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Milley iā Bahrain a me Kōlea Hema. He hoʻomāinoino hoʻomāinoino ʻo Bahrain i lilo i mea nui i nā makahiki Trump, i ka pane pololei i ke kākoʻo mai Trump.

ʻO Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa ke Aliʻi o Bahrain mai ka manawa o 2002, iā ia i hana ai iā ia iho i Mōʻī, ma mua i kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo Emir. Ua lilo ʻo ia i Emir ma 1999 ma muli o kāna mau mea i hana ai ma, ka mua, ka noho ʻana, a me ka lua, e make ana kona makuakāne. He ʻehā wahine kā ka Mō'ī, hoʻokahi hoahānau o kekahi o lākou.

Ua hana ʻo Hamad bin Isa Al Al Khalifa me nā poʻe kūʻē kū ʻole ma ke kī ʻana, kāʻili ʻana, hoʻomāinoino ʻana, a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana iā lākou i ka hale paʻahao. Ua hoʻopaʻi ʻo ia i ka poʻe no ka ʻōlelo ʻana no nā pono kīvila kanaka, a ʻoiai no ka "hōʻino" i ka mōʻī a i kāna hae paha - nā lawehala e lawe ana i ka hoʻopaʻi no 7 mau makahiki i ka hale paʻahao a me ka uku nui.

Wahi a ka US State Department, “he Kumukānāwai ʻo Bahrain, he mōʻī hoʻoilina hoʻoilina. . . . Nā pilikia pili kanaka [pili pū] i ka hoʻopiʻi o ka hoʻomāinoino; paʻa paʻa; nā paʻahao politika; ʻaihue kūpono ʻole a kū ʻole i ke kānāwai me ka pilikino; nā kapu i ke kūʻokoʻa o ka manaʻo, ka nūpepa, a me ka pūnaewele, me ka censorship, keʻakeʻa ʻana i ka pūnaewele, a me ka libel lawehala; keakea nui me nā kuleana o ka hui maluhia a me ke kūʻokoʻa o ka hui ʻana, me nā palena i nā hui kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa (NGO) mai ka hana manuahi ʻana i ka ʻāina. "

Wahi a ka poʻe ʻAmelika ʻole no ka Demokalaka a me nā Pono Kānaka ma Bahrain, aia ke aupuni i loko “Kokoke loa i ka hana hewa” o ka International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, a me kāna mākaʻi hoʻokumu kumu o ka hopu wale ʻia ʻana, ka hoʻomāinoino ʻia, ka pue wale ʻana, a me ka pepehi kanaka extrajudicial. Baharaina ia "I waena o nā ʻāina mākaʻi nui loa ma ka honua, me kahi o 46 mau limahana MOI [Kuhina Kalaiaina] no kēlā me kēia kamaʻāina he 1,000. Ua ʻoi aku ia ma mua o ka pāpālua o ka helu hoʻohālikelike i ke kiʻekiʻe o ko Saddam Hussein noho aupuni ʻana ma ʻIraka, ka mea i hoʻomāhuahua i nā aupuni like me ʻIrana a me Brazil. ”

ʻO nā mea hoʻolaha kaua e makemake e hoʻopunipuni kahi ʻāina e pili ana i ka pōkā ʻia i loko o kahi kanaka ʻino hoʻokahi e uku kālā nui e loaʻa ka manawa kūpono e hoʻohana iā Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa ma ke kū no nā poʻe ʻeha o Bahrain. Akā ʻaʻole ʻo Al Khalifa kahi pahuhopu o ka pāpāho US a i ʻole ka pūʻali koa US.

Ua aʻo ʻia ʻo Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa e ka pūʻali koa US. Ua puka ʻo ia mai ka United States Army Command a me General College College ma Fort Leavenworth ma Kansas. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia he kōkua maikaʻi o ka US, Pelekane, a me nā aupuni ʻē aʻe o ke Komohana. Hoʻokumu ka US Navy i kāna Fleet ʻElima ma Bahrain. Hāʻawi ke aupuni US i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa pūʻali koa a me ke kālā iā Bahrain, a kōkua i ke kūʻai aku o nā mea kaua a US i hana ai iā Bahrain.

ʻO ke keiki hiapo a ka Mōʻī a hoʻoilina hoʻi i aʻo ʻia ma ke Kula Nui ʻAmelika ma Wakinekona, DC, a ma ke Kula Nui ʻo Queen, Ke Kula Nui o Cambridge, ʻEnelani.

I ka 2011, ua hoʻolimalima ʻo Bahrain i kahi luna mākaʻi o US nona ka inoa ʻo John Timoney, me kahi kūlana maikaʻi no ka hana hoʻomāinoino i loaʻa ma Miami a me Piladelapia, e kōkua i ke aupuni Bahraini e hoʻoweliweli a hana hoʻomāinoino i kāna lehulehu, ka mea ua hana 'o ia. ^ E Ha yM. Ana o 2019, "Hoʻomau ka mākaʻi i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana no kā lākou mea kaua nui a US i hana ai. Mai ka 2007 a i ka 2017, ua hāʻawi ka mea ʻauhau ʻAmelika i kahi $ 7 miliona i ke kōkua palekana i ka MOI a me ka mākaʻi haunaele - kahi mākaʻi makai kaulana kaulana no ka nui o nā pepehi kanaka extrajudicial, ka nui o nā hoʻouka kaua kūʻē, a me ka hoʻouka kaua i nā pio. Ke hoʻonui nei ʻo Pelekikena Donald Trump i nā papahana hoʻomaʻamaʻa MOI ma hope o ka holomua ʻana o nā keʻena ma ke keʻena ʻo Leahy Law ma lalo o ke Keʻena Hoʻokele o Obama, e noi ana i kahi papahana he 10 mau papa no ka makahiki 2019 e pili ana i ka ʻōlelo aʻo e pili ana i nā metodology hoʻouka.

ʻAʻole i haʻi ʻo Milley iā Bahrain no kekahi o kaʻu mau hopohopo, a no ka makemake ʻole i nā ʻauwaʻa lehulehu e kū ana a puni ka hona; makemake ʻo ia i mau mea hou aʻe o lākou. Akā manaʻo ʻo Milley he mea kumukūʻai a weliweli ia ke hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā pūʻali koa he nui a me ko lākou mau ʻohana ma nā kahua mamao.

Wahi a Nā Pūʻali Koa, ʻO Milley "ke hui nei i kahi hui ulu o nā luna kūpale kiʻekiʻe nāna i nīnau i ka pono no ka hoʻonohonoho paʻa ʻana i nā pūʻali koa a puni ka honua." ʻO ka hopohopo o Milley ka mea e hoʻopilikia ai i nā lālā ʻohana. "ʻAʻohe oʻu pilikia me mākou, ʻo mākou i ka ʻaʻahu, ke hele nei i loko o ka pōʻino - ʻo kēia ka mea e uku ʻia ai mākou. ʻO kēia kā mākou hana, ʻeā? ” Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia. He hana paha kēlā na kekahi? Inā hoʻowahāwahā nā kumu, pono paha i kekahi e hiki ʻole ke uku i ke koleke ke noho iā lākou no ka pono o nā mea kūʻai mea kaua? ʻIke wau i koʻu manaʻo no kēlā. Akā ʻo ka luna o ka Joint frickin Chiefs o ke keʻena nāna i hemo maikaʻi iā ʻAkau ʻAkau o nā aliʻi ʻaʻole makemake lākou e hoʻonoho hou i nā ʻohana kanaka ma nā kahua haole.

ʻO ka pilikia paha, no ka makemake ʻole o nā kāne a me nā ʻohana e noho i loko o ka apartheid i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā kaiāulu mea kaua. Inā pēlā, ʻekolu mau hauʻoli no nā ʻohana! Akā inā ʻaʻole pono nā kumu, a ʻike mākou i ka hana ʻino a lākou, a ʻaʻole pono nā kālā lehulehu o US e hoʻokumu kālā i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o kēia mau mini-disneyland-Little-ʻAmelika ma hope o nā paia Trumpish, no ke aha e hoʻōki ʻole ai i ka hana ʻana?

Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Milley iā Kōlea Hema, kahi ʻē aʻe kahi a ka ʻAhaʻōlelo i nā makahiki i hala iho nei i pīhoihoi ai i ka lawe ʻia ʻana o kekahi pūʻali koa US. Akā he aupuni nui ko Kōlea Hema i kēia manawa e kū i ke aupuni US, a ʻo kahi lehulehu i ʻike i ka pūʻali koa US a me nā mea kaua nā mea nui i ka maluhia a me ka hoʻohui hou ʻana. ʻO ka nastiness o Trump i kēia hihia ke ʻano o ke koi ʻana iā Korea Hema e uku hou aku no kāna hana US (ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole pupule e like me ko Neera Tanden makemake e uku ʻo Libya no ka hoʻopahū ʻia ʻana), akā he ʻokoʻa ka hoʻoikaika o Milley. Ua hopohopo ʻo Milley, e like me ka AP, inā e hiki i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ke komo i loko o kahi kaua hou, e makaʻu paha nā lālā ʻohana o nā pūʻali koa US. ʻAʻohe mea e pili ana i nā ʻohana e noho maoli i nā ʻāina o ʻAsia. Aia ka makemake hāmama e hoʻoweliweli i nā ola o nā pūʻali koa US. Akā nā ʻohana pūʻali koa US - ʻo ia ka poʻe koʻikoʻi.

Ke makemake nei kēlā ʻano o ka pono i kaupalena ʻia i nā kumu paʻa, e ʻike ʻia paha ka wehe ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i nā kumu i kahi kukui i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka pāpā ʻo US.

ʻIke ʻo Milley i ka inertia, a malia paha ka waiwai a me ka politika ma hope o ia. Hāʻawi ʻo ia i ka noho pōkole no nā pūʻali me ka ʻole o nā ʻohana he hopena. Akā ʻaʻole nui ia o hoʻokahi. ʻAʻole ia e kuhikuhi i ka pilikia nui o ka hoʻokau ʻana i nā kahua hoʻomoana i nā mea kaua ma nā ʻāina o nā mea āpau. ʻAʻole ia e noʻonoʻo i nā manaʻo o ka lehulehu o US ma ka nui. Inā pono wau e nānā i kahi hanana haʻuki ma ke kīwī a haʻi ʻia e nānā ana ka pūʻali koa US iā ia mai nā ʻāina 174 ma kahi o 175, ʻaʻole wau e hoʻomāinoino ʻia, a makemake wau e aneane ʻaʻohe mea e ʻike. Manaʻo wau e like nō ia no 173 a i ʻole 172. Hell, e mākaukau wau e koho balota wale i ka lehulehu o ka US ma ka nui o nā lāhui i ka pūʻali koa US i kēia manawa a laila hoʻemi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe.
