Na Robert C. Koehler,ʻAukake 9th, 2017, Nā Manaʻo Kūikawā.
Kū maopopo ʻole ʻo Donald Trump ma ka lihi o ka mōʻaukala, e hōʻike ana i nā hewa āpau i ka wā i hala, ʻo, 10,000 mau makahiki a i ʻole.
ʻAʻole hohonu wale ka pono o ka hoʻololi kumu i ka hui honua o ke kanaka, akā wikiwiki.
ʻO ka puʻupuʻu hou loa a Trump e pili ana i nā nukes o North Korea - hoʻoweliweli i kēlā ʻāina "me ahi, huhu, a me ka mana maoli i nā mea like ʻole i ʻike ʻole ʻia e ke ao nei ma mua "- hana i kahi moʻolelo mele ʻo Armageddon scenario i ka media, koe wale nō, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo kona mana e hoʻomaka i ke kaua nuklea ma ka impulse maoli.
ʻO ka mea a kēia e akaka ai iaʻu, ʻaʻole e loaʻa i kekahi ka mana - ka mana - e haʻi aku i kekahi kaua. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hiki mau ana kēia, no ka nui o nā makahiki i ka ʻike kanaka i ka pupule loa o ke kaua, e hōʻike ana i ka paradox e hoʻomau mau ʻia ka civilization i kona luku ʻana.
ʻO kekahi ikona o kēia paradox ʻO'Erik Prince, mercenary waiwai nui, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hui hoʻoweliweli ʻo Blackwater, ka mea i loaʻa i nā pilina ʻoluʻolu i ka hoʻomalu ʻo Bush i ka wā e hoʻomaka ana nā kaua pau ʻole o ke kenekulia 21 a i kēia manawa, me kekahi Repubalika i koho ʻole ʻia i ka Hale Keʻokeʻo, ua hopu koke ʻo ia ma ka manawa ʻoihana i hōʻike ʻia e kēia mau kaua:
E hoʻokaʻawale i ka quagmire!
He ʻumikumamāono mau makahiki, ʻo ke kaua ma Afghanistan ka lōʻihi loa ma ka mōʻaukala ʻAmelika, a i kēia manawa i kahi kūlana "stalemate," e like me ka manaʻo nui e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻole nei i ka militarism mau o kēia ʻāina. No ka laʻana: "ʻAʻole hiki i ka US ke lanakila akā ʻaʻole hiki ke lilo," USA I kēia lā Ua manaʻo ʻia i loko o kahi hoʻoponopono hou e pili ana iā Afghanistan, me ke koi ʻole ʻana iā Trump "i ka liʻiliʻi loa e hoʻoholo i ka mea e hana ai ma hope" a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ke kahua no ka hoʻolālā ʻoihana ʻo Prince, ʻo ia ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana a me ka pilikino i ke kaua.
Ma kahi op-ed i kekahi mau lā aku nei i loko o kēlā hoʻolaha hoʻokahi, Ua kākau ʻo Prince: "ʻO ka koho e haʻalele wale iā Afghanistan he mea hoʻowalewale akā i ka wā lōʻihi he pōʻino kulekele haole. E hiolo ke aupuni Kabul. He uē nui ʻo Afghanistan no nā jihadists honua. "
A hiki koke i laila, ʻo ka paradox ʻAmelika i ka nani piha: ʻAe, ke hakakā nei mākou i nā mea hoʻoweliweli. Pono mākou e hoʻomau i ka pepehi kanaka, e hoʻomau i ka ninini ʻana i nā trillions o nā kālā i kā mākou kaua, no ka mea aia nā poʻe ʻino i waho e hoʻoweliweli mai iā mākou no ka mea ua inaina lākou i ko mākou kūʻokoʻa. A ʻo ke kanaka e hoʻomanaʻo mai nei iā mākou ʻo ia ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka Blackwater, ka mea kūʻai kūʻokoʻa ma Iraq, nona ka poʻe mercenaries ke kuleana no kekahi o nā hana weliweli loa o ka huhū lethal - aka, terrorism - o nā makahiki mua o kēlā kaua.
Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia ka poʻe ʻaelike Blackwater no ka "ki ʻana i nā kaʻa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ke kaʻa ʻana i ke awakea ma Nisour Square ma Sept. 16, 2007, e ninini ana i nā pōkā a me nā grenades i loko o ka lehulehu, me nā wahine e paʻa wale ana i nā ʻeke a me nā keiki e paʻa ana ko lākou mau lima i ka lewa," e like me ka Hawaii Post hoʻomanaʻo mai iā mākou i kēia manawa.
ʻO kēia hana pepehi kanaka, kahi i pepehi ʻia ai he 17 Iraqis a he 20 i ʻeha hou aʻe, e hōʻike ana i ka mea āu e kapa ai he hoʻoweliweli ʻAmelika. Hiki ke hoʻoikaika i ka hoʻomana ma kekahi pae quasi-conscious. ʻOiaʻiʻo, Jeremy Scahill, e hōʻike ana i ka makahiki 2009 no The Nation ma ka hoʻopiʻi i waiho ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka poʻe Iraqis i hōʻeha ʻia i ka pepehi kanaka ʻo Nisour Square, ua kākau ʻo ia, e like me ka mea hana mua o Blackwater i hōʻike i ka ʻaha hoʻokolokolo federal i ka wā o ka hoʻokolokolo:
"Ua manaʻo ʻo Prince iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he Crusader Kalikiano i hoʻopau ʻia i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā Mahometa a me ka hoʻomana Islam mai ka honua aku," a . . . ʻO nā hui o Prince 'ua paipai a uku i ka luku ʻana i ke ola Iraqi.' . . .
Eia kekahi, ua kākau ʻo Scahill, "Mr. E kamaʻilio ākea nā luna o ke Aliʻi e pili ana i ka hele ʻana i Iraq e 'hoʻomoe i nā hajiis ma ka pahu pahu.' ʻO ka hele ʻana i Iraq e pana a pepehi i ka poʻe Iraqi i nānā ʻia he haʻuki a pāʻani paha. Ua hoʻohana mau nā limahana o Mr. Prince i nā huaʻōlelo racist a me nā ʻōlelo hoʻowahāwahā no Iraqis a me nā Arab ʻē aʻe, e like me nā 'ragheads' a i ʻole 'hajiis.'
Ua kūpono kēia mau mea āpau i ka wehewehe ʻana o ka jihadism, a i ʻole ka terrorism, akā no ka mea ʻAmelika, lawe mai ia i kahi mea hou i ka papaʻaina. ʻO kēia ka hoʻoweliweli no ka loaʻa kālā. A ke hele nei ia no ka manawa lōʻihi, ma kahi aupuni ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka mea i noho ʻia e nā ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻo Erik Prince. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kapa iā ia ʻo colonialism, a i ʻole ka paʻakikī aupuni. No mākou ka honua. ʻO kēia ka "nui" i kūʻai aku ʻo Trump i nā poʻe ʻAmelika e hoʻokomo i loko o ka Oval Office.
ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia i hoʻomanawanui i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa pūʻali koa ma Afghanistan - "ʻaʻole mākou e lanakila, ua eo mākou" - akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke kū i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole i loko o ko mākou mau lima ka waiwai mineral o ka ʻāina i wāwahi ʻia.
Ma kahi hālāwai i hoʻolaha maikaʻi ʻia me kāna mau pūʻali koa, ua kanikau ʻo Trump "e hoʻolilo ana ʻo Kina i ke kālā mai ka $ 1 trillion i manaʻo ʻia ʻo Afghanistan i nā minerala liʻiliʻi ʻoiai e hakakā ana nā pūʻali koa ʻAmelika i ke kaua," e like me ka NBC News. "Ua hōʻike ʻo Trump i ka huhū no ka hana ʻana o kāna mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo me ka ʻike pehea e hiki ai i ka US ke kōkua i nā ʻoihana ʻAmelika e loaʻa nā kuleana i kēlā mau minela e neʻe mālie nei, wahi a kekahi luna. . . .
"ʻO ka manaʻo nui i nā minerale e hoʻomanaʻo ana i nā ʻōlelo a Trump i ka wā mua i kona pelekikena i kona kanikau ʻana ʻaʻole i lawe ʻo ʻAmelika i ka aila o Iraq i ka wā i haʻalele ai ka hapa nui o nā pūʻali i ka ʻāina i 2011."
Ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Trump i kahi ʻōnaehana politika i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka wā colonial. ʻO kona haʻaheo haʻaheo ʻo ia kona alo honua. Ke nānā nei ʻo ia i ka wiwo ʻole o North Korea me ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana e puhi iā ia a hiki i ke aupuni e hiki mai ana, me ka noʻonoʻo e loaʻa ana ka waiwai e ʻohi ai ma hope.
