ʻO wai ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻaʻohe mea i hana ʻia ma USA?

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole nā ​​​​kuekue maikaʻi o nā hui diplomatic o ka Moku'āina. A pono lākou e ʻike. ʻO ia no ka mea aia lākou ma nā laina mua o ke kaua e hoʻomau nei e mālama i ka māhele mākeke nui o ʻAnakala Sam o ke kālepa mea kaua honua. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi no ka Military-Industrial Complex, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo "Made In the USA" e hoʻoulu i ka nui o ka kūpaʻa brand, ʻoiai inā maoli ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ke kūʻai aku ʻana (paging Saudi ʻAlapia). ʻO ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻo ʻAmelika wale nō ka mea kūʻai lima nui o ka honua ma 2014 me $ 36.2 ieeeea? i ke kūʻai aku, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka piʻi ʻana o 35% i ke kūʻai aku ma mua o 2013 me kahi piʻi hou aʻe $ 46.6 ieeeea? ma 2015.

E like me ka Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) i hoʻoholo i kāna hōʻike hou ma ke kālepa mea kaua honua, mālama ʻo ʻAmelika i kahi "33% kahele o ka nui o nā mea kaua i hoʻokuʻu ʻia" a ʻo ia ka mea kūʻai aku ma ka honua no ʻelima mau makahiki. A ʻo kāna kumu kūʻai aku he "ma ka liʻiliʻi loa" 96 mau ʻāina, ʻo ia hoʻi kokoke i ka hapalua o nā lāhui o ka honua. ʻO kahi paʻa ʻO 40% o kēlā mau hoʻokuʻu aku pau i ka Middle East. ʻO ia paha ke kumu i ʻoi loa ai ka manaʻo o ka ʻOihana Mokuʻāina i ka manaʻo o ka ʻoihana ulu nui a ʻAnakala Sam e kūʻai aku i nā mea "boom!"

ʻO ia ka lawe ʻana mai a hōʻike hou in pale Nūhou e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻoikaika kūʻai ʻana e nā "Commercial Officers" i hoʻonoho ʻia ma ka ʻelele US ma Ioredane. Ua hana lākou i ka lehulehu ma ka ʻumikūmākahi o ka makahiki ʻelua o ke aupuniHōʻikeʻike a me ka ʻaha kūkā o nā pūʻali hana kūikawā (SOFEX). E like me ka nui o nā mea kokoke ʻO 100 mau "hōʻikeʻike kālepa" e pili ana i ka pūʻali koa mālama ʻia a puni ka honuakeia makahiki wale no, Hāʻawi ʻo SOFEX i ka poʻe waiwai o ka make i ka manawa kūpono e hōʻike i kā lākou mau mea kūʻai a e ʻoki i nā kuʻikahi me nā mākaʻikaʻi bellicose mākaukau e huki i ke kumu ma kahi kūʻai make make. ʻO kekahi o nā mea nui, "hona” nā hōʻike kālepa - e like me ka Nā Hōʻike Kūʻē Kūlohelohe a me ka ʻaha kūkā(IDEX) i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma Abu Dhabi - he mau wahi kūʻai kūʻai piha ʻana no ka mana koa e piʻi mai ana i ka neʻe ʻana, ʻo ka junta pro-Western hou i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e makemake nui e kāhiko, a me ka mua- noʻonoʻo "Hoa Hui"ke ʻimi nei i ka mea hou loa ma"kaua kinetic. "

Inā ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe, hāʻawi nā hōʻike kālepa i nā mea hana pale i ka manawa e hāʻawi aku "tchotchkes hoʻolaha” i nā mea kūʻai aku i ka wā e hiki mai ana i hiki ke hoʻoluliluli ʻia e a branded camouflage carryall ai ole ia, he ʻO Digi Camo Koa Bert mea hoʻomaha. ʻAʻohe kānalua he hana luhi ia, akā ʻo nā mea hōʻikeʻike e hana nei ma hope o nā hōʻikeʻike ʻaʻole wale lākou ma ke kahua kaua o ke kalepa. ʻOiaʻiʻo nō ka hihia ma SOFEX, kahi o ka ʻO US EmbassyUa hoʻonoho ʻo ia i Luna Kalepa Nui ʻo Geoffrey Bogart a me ke alakaʻi ʻĀpana Palekana a me ka Maluhia ʻo Cherine Maher e hana ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻonui kūʻai aku no ka poʻe ʻimi kālā o ʻAmelika. As Jen Judson kikoʻī, ʻike ʻo Bogart lāua ʻo Maher i nā alakaʻi kūʻai aku ma kahi ʻāina i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e ka haunaele ʻoiai ua luku wale ʻo ʻAmelika i kahi lāhui e kū ana ma lalo o ka hoʻopunipuni hoʻopunipuni (aka Iraq). Eia ʻO nā mea nui a Judson mai ko Bogart lāua ʻo Maher i ka huakaʻi pōʻino ʻino i nā pūʻali mākeke waiwai e hoʻokumu nei i ka Hikina Waena o ʻAmelika.

IOREDĀNE: "He kiʻekiʻe loa mākou ma ka mākeke palekana a me ka palekana ma Ioredane," wahi a Geoffrey Bogart, he luna kālepa ma ka US Embassy. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bogart he nui nā manaʻo mākeke no nā hui US e hana i ka ʻoihana ma Ioredane, me ka palekana palena, ka palekana cyber, nā kauoha a me nā kikowaena hoʻokele, nā lako kelepona, nā kaʻa kaua, nā mea kaua, nā mea hana, nā mea hoʻopaʻa a me nā mea ʻike metala, a me ka kaapuni pani. kīwī (CCTV) a me ka mana ʻike.

AIKUPITA: "Ke kū nei ʻo ʻAigupita i nā pilikia he nui ma ke ʻano o ka mana palena a inā mai ke Komohana a i ʻole Hikina a i ʻĀkau paha a i ʻole Hema, no laila ʻo ka hana nui e hana nei ʻo ia ka palena a me ka mana perimeter," wahi a Maher, ʻo ia hoʻi. makemake maoli ka ʻāina i ka ʻike ʻana i ka pōkā, nā jammers a me nā diffusers pahū improvised.

LIBIA: ʻO ka pilikia o kēia manawa ma Libya ua alakaʻi i nā pilikia no nā hui US, e like me Maher; akā naʻe, koi nui nā huahana o nā hui US ma laila. "ʻO ka hoʻopunipuni pehea e komo ai i ka mākeke, ka mea e kūʻai aku ai, a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka laikini hoʻokuʻu aku," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kekahi mau huahana i ʻae ʻia e kūʻai aku i Libya i kēia manawa he mau palena.

TINISIA: Ke ulu mau nei ka mākeke pale o Tunisia, wahi a Maher. Ua hoʻonui ʻo Tunisia i kāna pūʻali koa palekana i ka makahiki 2016 ma muli o ka ulu ʻana o ka hoʻoweliweli hoʻoweliweli ma ka ʻāina. Makemake ka ʻāina e kūkulu i kona mana ikaika e pale aku i nā hoʻoweliweli kūloko, hoʻoikaika i nā mana pale a kākoʻo i nā hana counterterrorism.

LEPANONA: Ua hoihoi o Lebanona i ka palekana palena; akā naʻe, makemake nui ia i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā hale aupuni a me ka hoʻolako ʻana i ka pale kīwila ma muli o ka hoʻomau ʻole ʻia o ka palekana ma kekahi mau kūlanakauhale a me nā kūlanakauhale kokoke i Beirut, wahi a Maher.

ʻILAKA: Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Maher, he mākeke koʻikoʻi ʻo Iraq i ka makahiki 2014 ma kahi o $ 7.6 biliona, ʻo ia ka 3.44 pakeneka o kāna GDP. Me ka hoʻomau ʻana o ke kaua kūʻē i ka pūʻulu Islamic State, ua manaʻo ʻia e hoʻopau koke ʻo Iraq ma kahi o $ 19 biliona, ʻo ia ka 18 a 20 pakeneka o kāna GDP. E like me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ka ʻāina, ke hoʻopukapuka nui nei ʻo Iraq i nā lako palekana a me nā lako palekana, a makemake pū kekahi i nā lako pale pilikino a me nā ʻōnaehana palekana no nā hale noho a me nā hale kūʻai, e like me Maher.

Pono ka mākeke “dynamic”… ʻo ia hoʻi, inā ʻoe ʻo General Dynamics. A i ʻole ʻo Lockheed Martin. A i ʻole Boeing. A i ʻole kekahi o nā ʻaelike pale nui ʻeono i lawe pū i ka home $90.29 biliona o ka ma luna o $ 175 billion ʻO ke kumu kūʻai o nā kālā ʻauhau i hāʻawi ʻia i ka makahiki i hala i nā ʻoihana koa 100 kiʻekiʻe. ʻAʻole i kūpono, ʻehiku o ka ʻewalu o nā ʻoihana aupuni ʻewalu o US he mau hui pale, me ka mea wale nō mea lawelawe mālama ola kino McKessone hala ana i ka phalanx o nā huila pale a me nā mea kūʻai aku.

He honua rarified i greased i ka makahiki i hala e $ 127.39 miliona o ka lobbying largesse a me kekahi $ 32.66 miliona i hala i keia makahiki, e like meOpenSecrets.org. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hāʻawi ka lobbying i kahi bang maikaʻi loa no ka buck i ka wā e hiki mai ana i ke kūʻai aku ʻana. A Nānā MapLight i kēia makahiki Loaʻaia "Ua loaʻa i nā ʻaelike aupuni nui o ʻAmelika he $1,171 i ke kālā ʻauhau no kēlā me kēia $1 i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka lobbying a me nā haʻawina ʻoihana politika i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala.. "

ʻĀnō, ʻo ia kekahi ROI koʻikoʻi!

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻohālikelike i ka hopena reactor breeder e hele mai ana mai ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lako kaua waiwai nui e luku ai i nā aupuni i ke kaua honua pau ʻole e kūʻē i kahi hana. Ua hoʻololi ke aupuni i ke kaua kīwila ma Iraq. Ua laha aku ia i Suria, a ua hoouna aku 660,000 poe mahuka i loko o Ioredane a ma o aku hookahi miliona poe mahuka i Lebanona ... e wehewehe ana kēia mau mea a pau i ke kumu o ko Bogart lāua ʻo Maher ke kūʻai aku nei i nā huahana e pili ana i ka palekana i kēlā mau lāhui ʻelua a me ke kumu o ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa i waena o kahi pūʻali koa kūʻai.

A laila aia ka haunaele ma hope o ka hoʻololi ʻana o ke aupuni ma Libya, e hoʻoweliweli ana e hoʻokuʻu aku i ʻelua mau mākeke ulu hou - Tunisia a me ʻAigupita. ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia ʻo ʻAigupita i kāna hoʻololi aupuni kūloko i kākoʻo ʻia ma ka lima o kahi mea kūʻai kūpaʻa a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka "kōkua" ʻAmelika - ka pūʻali koa ʻAigupita. He "kipi" maoli nō ia, akā ua pale ke kānāwai US i ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā pūʻali koa ʻo ʻAigupita junta waimaka i hōʻailona ʻia "Hana ʻia ma USA” (ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe) inā he kipi dʻetat, no laila, maʻalahi ka Obama Administration ʻaʻole i kapa ʻia he kipi.

I kēia manawa, e like me ka ʻōlelo a Ms. Maher, aia ka pūʻali koa o ʻAigupita i ka mākeke no nā lako kaua hou aʻe, e like me he hōʻike GAO hou kikoʻī e ʻO ke kuʻina, ʻaʻole i hoʻoponopono pono ʻia a ʻike ʻia paha e ke Keʻena Mokuʻāina. ʻO kēlā mau kūʻai maʻalahi ke kālā kālā ʻia e ka $ 6.4 biliona i ke kōkua US mai ka hoʻokahuli aupuni ma 2011. A (e hele kiʻi) Ua hoʻāpono ʻia ka papa inoa makemake o ʻAigupita, ma kahi ʻāpana, e ka pono koke e pale aku i nā interlopers mai Libya i hoʻololi ʻia, e like me ka ʻO Ms. Maher i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, he mākeke ʻulaʻula ia no nā mea kūʻai mea kaua US ... inā hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa nā laikini hoʻokuʻu aku.

A no laila ke hoʻomau nei ka mākeke ikaika - me nā kālā ʻauhau e uku ana i nā uku o ka 'Oihana Moku'āina "Nā Luna Kūʻai" e hana nei no ka ʻoihana pale kaua US i kākoʻo nui ʻia ma ke ʻano he poʻe kūʻai aku ma nā mākeke ʻē aʻe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā kaua kālā kālā ʻauhau i hakakā ʻia e nā koa ʻAmelika kākoʻo ʻia e ka mea ʻauhau. me nā mea kaua i kūʻai ʻia mai kēlā ʻoihana pale ponoʻī me - ua manaʻo ʻoe - ʻoi aku nā kālā ʻauhau.

ʻO nā "diplomats" ma ke Keʻena Moku'āina he mea nui i waena o ke kaʻina hana, e kōkua ana i nā "mea kūʻai aku" e hoʻokele i nā mea paʻakikī o ka pūʻali koa-ʻoihana o nā palapala hoʻohana hope, nā laikini hoʻokuʻu aku, a me nā kuleana kuleana kanaka i hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻolilo i ka ʻauhau kālā US " kōkua" e hoʻopau mau ana i loko o ka waihona kālā o Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, a pēlā aku.

I ka manawa e hoʻi ai ke kālā i ka home i ka ʻoihana pale, ua hoʻolilo kēlā mau hui i kekahi o kā lākou makani i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, i loko o SuperPACS, i loko o nā ʻaoʻao politika ʻelua, a pololei hoʻi i nā hoʻolaha a nā ʻohana Congressional e hoʻopaʻa pono i ka pūlāwai pale e hoʻonui ai i ka ʻoihana pale. A hiki i kēia makahiki, ua ninini lākou ma luna o $ 17 miliona i loko o kēlā mau hoʻoikaika ʻana, a ua hāʻawi lākou i ka wahie no ka holo ʻana i ka mīkini "dynamic" mau loa kahi o ka ʻOihana Moku'āina he cog koʻikoʻi.

A ʻo ia ke kumu i ʻike pono ai ka poʻe o ka Moku'āina ʻo ʻAmelika, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke hana maoli nei ʻo ʻAmelika i kekahi mea - ʻo ia ka mea hana nui o ka honua i ke kaua.
