ʻO Malaki 19 ka makahiki 20 o ka US a me Pelekane kū'ēʻia o Iraq. ʻO kēia hanana nui i loko o ka moʻolelo pōkole o ke kenekulia 21 ʻaʻole wale nō e hoʻomau i ka hoʻopilikia ʻana i ka nohona Iraqi a hiki i kēia lā, akā ke ʻano nui nei nō hoʻi i ka pilikia o kēia manawa ma Ukraine, e hana ana. hiki ole no ka hapa nui o ka Global South e ʻike i ke kaua ma Ukraine ma o ka prism like me US a me nā poʻe kālai'āina Komohana.
ʻOiai ua hiki i ka US lima ikaika ʻO 49 mau ʻāina, me ka nui o ka Global South, e hui pū me kāna "coalition of the willing" e kākoʻo i ka hoʻouka ʻana i ke aupuni mōʻī o Iraq, ʻo UK wale nō, Australia, Denmark a me Polani i hāʻawi maoli i nā pūʻali koa i ka hoʻouka kaua, a me nā makahiki 20 i hala. ua aʻo aku i nā aupuni he nui ʻaʻole e hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou mau kaʻa i ke aupuni ʻAmelika.
I kēia lā, nui loa nā lāhui o ka Global South hōʻole Ua noi aku ʻo ʻAmelika e hoʻouna i nā mea kaua i Ukraine a ʻaʻole makemake e hoʻokō i nā hoʻopaʻi Western ma Russia. Akā, wikiwiki lākou kahea ana no ka diplomacy e hoʻopau i ke kaua ma mua o ka piʻi ʻana i kahi hakakā piha ma waena o Rūsia a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, me ka pōʻino o ke kaua nuklea hoʻopau honua.
ʻO nā mea kākau o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o ʻAmelika iā Iraq ʻo ia nā mea hoʻokumu neoconservative o ka Project for a New American Century (PNAC), ka mea i manaʻo e hiki i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ke hoʻohana i ka ʻoi o ka pūʻali koa i hoʻokō ʻia i ka hopena o ke Kaua anuanu e hoʻomau i ka mana honua o ʻAmelika i ke kenekulia 21.
ʻO ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana iā Iraq e hōʻike i ka "hoʻokele piha holoʻokoʻa" o ʻAmelika i ka honua, e pili ana i ka mea a ka Senator Edward Kennedy i hala. ua hoʻohewaʻia "he kāhea no ka imperialism ʻAmelika 21st ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ʻāina ʻē ke ʻae a ʻae paha."
Ua pololei ʻo Kennedy, a ua hewa loa nā neocons. Ua lanakila ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o ka pūʻali koa US i ka hoʻokahuli ʻana iā Saddam Hussein, akā ʻaʻole i hoʻokau i kahi kauoha paʻa hou, e waiho wale ana i ka haunaele, ka make a me ka hana ʻino ma hope. Pela no ka hana ana o ka US ma Afghanistan, Libya a me na aina e ae.
No ke koena o ka honua, ua hoʻokumu ka piʻi ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai o Kina a me ka Global South i kahi ala ʻē aʻe no ka hoʻomohala waiwai e pani ana i ka US. neokolonial kumu hoʻohālike. ʻOiai ua hoʻopau ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kāna manawa unipolar i ka hoʻolimalima kaua ʻana i ka trilion-dollar, nā kaua kīwila a me ka militarism, ke kūkulu mālie nei nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe i kahi honua maluhia, multipolar.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka mea hoʻohenehene, aia kekahi ʻāina kahi i kūleʻa ai ka hoʻolālā "hoʻololi aupuni" a nā neocons, a kahi i pili pono ai lākou i ka mana: ʻo ʻAmelika ponoʻī. ʻOiai ʻo ka hapa nui o ka honua i hoʻoweliweli i ka hopena o ka hakakā ʻana o US, ua hoʻohui nā neocons i ko lākou mana ma luna o ke kulekele ʻē aʻe o ʻAmelika, hoʻopilikia a hoʻomake i nā hoʻokele Democratic a me Republican me kā lākou ʻaila nahesa.
ʻO nā poʻe kālai'āina a me nā media e makemake e hoʻokuʻu aku i ka neocons 'takeover a me ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka noho aliʻi ʻana o nā kulekele ʻē aʻe o ʻAmelika, akā ua hūnā ʻia nā neocons i ka ʻike maka ma nā ʻaoʻao kiʻekiʻe o ka US State Department, ka National Security Council, ka White House, Congress and influential. nā waihona manaʻo kālā kālā ʻoihana.
ʻO Robert Kagan ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka PNAC he hoa kiʻekiʻe ma ka Brookings Institution a he kī kākoʻo o Hillary Clinton. Ua koho ʻo Pelekikena Biden i ka wahine a Kagan, ʻo Victoria Nuland, he ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo kulekele ʻē aʻe iā Dick Cheney, ma ke ʻano he Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, ʻo ia ka ʻehā o ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka Oihana Moku'āina. Ma hope o kona hoʻokani ʻana i ka alakai ʻO ka hana US ma 2014 coup ma Ukraine, ka mea i hoʻohaunaele ai i kona lāhui, ka hoʻi ʻana o Crimea i Rusia a me ke kaua kīwila ma Donbas i make ma kahi o 14,000 mau kānaka.
ʻO ka luna inoa inoa o Nuland, ʻo ke Kakauolelo o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Antony Blinken, ʻo ia ka luna hoʻomalu o ke Kōmike Kūkākūkā o nā ʻāina ʻē ma ka Senate ma 2002, i ka wā o kāna mau hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o ʻAmelika iā Iraq. Ua kōkua ʻo Blinken i ka luna kōmike, ʻo Senatoa Joe Biden, choreograph nā hālāwai hoʻolohe manaʻo e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ke kākoʻo o ke kōmike i ke kaua, me ka ʻole o nā mea hōʻike i kākoʻo piha ʻole i ka papahana kaua neocons.
ʻAʻole maopopo i ka mea nāna i kāhea aku i nā kulekele ʻē aʻe i ka hoʻokele ʻana o Biden no ka mea e hoʻomaka ana i ke Kaua Honua III me Rūsia a hoʻonāukiuki i ka hakakā me Kina, e holo ana ma luna o ke kaua a Biden. 'ōlelo e "hoʻokiʻekiʻe i ka diplomacy ma ke ʻano he mea hana mua o kā mākou hui honua." Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Nuland keiki ʻoi aku ma mua o kona kūlana i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke kulekele kaua US (a pēlā ʻo Ukrainian).
ʻO ka mea maopopo, ua ʻike ka hapa nui o ka honua ma o ka wahaheʻe a me ka hookamani o ko na aina e o Amerika, a ke ohi nei o Amerika Huipuia i ka hopena o kana mau hana i ka hoole ana o ka Global South e hoomau i ka hula me ka leo o ka pied piper Amerika.
I ka UN General Assembly i Kepakemapa 2022, nā alakaʻi o nā ʻāina 66, e hōʻike ana i ka hapa nui o ka heluna o ka honua, nonoi akuʻo ia no ka diplomacy a me ka maluhia ma Ukraine. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole naʻe nā alakaʻi o ke Komohana i kā lākou noi, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana he monopoly ma luna o ke alakaʻi ʻana i ka moʻomeheu i nalowale i ka lā Malaki 19, 2003, i ka wā i haehae ai ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me United Kingdom i ka UN Charter a hoʻouka i Iraq.
I loko o kahi kūkākūkā papa e pili ana i ka "Defending the UN Charter and the Rules-Based International Order" i ka hui ʻo Munich Security Conference i hala iho nei, ʻekolu o nā panelists-mai Brazil, Kolombia a me Namibia-i maopopo. ua hōʻoleʻia Ke koi nei ke Komohana i ko lākou mau ʻāina e hoʻopau i ka pilina me Rūsia, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia no ka maluhia ma Ukraine.
Ua kāhea ke Kuhina o ko nā ʻāina ʻē ʻo Brazil ʻo Mauro Vieira i nā ʻaoʻao kaua āpau e "kūkulu i ka hiki ke hoʻonā. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke kamaʻilio wale no ke kaua. Ua wehewehe nui ka Hope Peresidena Francia Márquez o Kolombia, “ʻAʻole mākou makemake e hoʻomau i ke kūkākūkā ʻana ʻo wai ka mea lanakila a i ʻole ka mea pio o ke kaua. He poʻe pio mākou a pau, a ʻo ka hopena, ʻo ke kanaka ke nalowale i nā mea āpau.
Ua hōʻuluʻulu ke Kuhina Nui ʻo Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila o Namibia i nā manaʻo o nā alakaʻi o Global South a me ko lākou poʻe: "ʻO kā mākou manaʻo i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pilikia ... ʻaʻole i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hewa," wahi āna. "Ke hāpai nei mākou i kahi hoʻoholo maluhia o kēlā hakakā, i hiki i ka honua holoʻokoʻa a me nā kumuwaiwai āpau o ka honua ke nānā aku i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā kūlana o nā poʻe a puni ka honua ma mua o ka lilo ʻana i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea kaua, ka pepehi kanaka, a me ka hana maoli ʻana i nā hakakā. .”
No laila, pehea ka pane ʻana o nā neocons ʻAmelika a me kā lākou mau vassals ʻEulopa i kēia mau alakaʻi noʻonoʻo a kaulana loa mai ka Global South? Ma kahi haʻiʻōlelo weliweli a me ke kaua, ʻo ka luna hoʻomalu kulekele ʻē aʻe o ʻEulopa ʻo Josep Borrell haʻiʻia ʻO ke ala no ke Komohana e "kūkulu hou i ka hilinaʻi a me ka launa pū ʻana me nā mea he nui i kapa ʻia ʻo Global South" ʻo ia ka "debunk…
Akā ʻo ka papalua ma waena o nā pane a ke Komohana i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Rūsia iā Ukraine a me nā makahiki he ʻumi o ka hakakā ʻana o ke Komohana ʻaʻole ia he moʻolelo wahaheʻe. Ma nā ʻatikala mua, ua loaʻa iā mākou palapalaʻia pehea ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me kona mau hoa i hāʻule ai ma mua o 337,000 mau pōkā a me nā missiles ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe ma waena o 2001 a me 2020. ʻO ia ka awelika o 46 i kēlā me kēia lā, i kēlā me kēia lā, no nā makahiki 20.
Hoʻopili maʻalahi ka moʻolelo US, a i ʻole ke ʻano ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi, ka hewa a me ka hana ʻino o nā hewa o Rūsia ma Ukraine. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kū ʻo ʻAmelika i nā hoʻopaʻi waiwai mai ke kaiāulu honua. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i koi ʻia e uku i nā uku hoʻihoʻi kaua i kāna poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia. Hāʻawi ia i nā mea kaua i ka poʻe hana ʻino ma mua o ka poʻe i hoʻopilikia ʻia ma Palestine, Yemen a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe. A ʻo nā alakaʻi o ʻAmelika—ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, a me Joe Biden—ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻi ʻia no ka hewa o ka honua o ka huhū, nā hewa kaua a i ʻole nā hewa kūʻē i ke kanaka.
Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei mākou i ka 20th anniversary o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Iraq, e hui pū mākou me nā alakaʻi o Global South a me ka hapa nui o ko mākou mau hoalauna a puni ka honua, ʻaʻole wale i ke kāhea ʻana i nā kūkākūkā maluhia koke e hoʻopau i ke kaua koʻikoʻi o Ukraine, akā i ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi ʻoiaʻiʻo maoli. ʻO ka hoʻonohonoho honua e pili ana i nā lula, kahi e pili ai nā lula like-a me nā hopena like a me nā hoʻopaʻi no ka uhaki ʻana i kēlā mau lula-e pili ana i nā lāhui āpau, me ko mākou ponoʻī.
