He ʻokoʻa ko ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ko ke ao holoʻokoʻa alakaʻi mea kūʻai lima. Ua hoʻomalu ia i ke kalepa honua ma kahi ʻano mōʻaukala a ʻaʻohe wahi i ʻoi aku ka piha o ka noho aliʻi ʻana ma mua o ka Middle East Middle East. Ma laila, e manaʻoʻiʻo paha ʻaʻole paha, ʻo ka US nā mana aneane hapalua o ka mākeke lima. Mai Yemen a Libia i ʻAigupita, nā mea kūʻai aku e kēia ʻāina a me nā mea kōkua i ka hana nui i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i kekahi o nā hakakā weliweli loa o ka honua. Akā ʻo Donald Trump, ʻoiai ma mua o kona ʻoki ʻia ʻana e Covid-19 a hoʻouna ʻia i Walter Reed Medical Center, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke mālama liʻiliʻi, ʻoiai ke manaʻo ʻo ia ke kālepa ʻana i nā mea hana o ka make a me ka luku e kōkua i kāna kūlana politika.

E nānā, no ka laʻana, ma ka "hoʻohiʻona maʻamau"O nā pilina ma waena o ka United Arab Emirates (UAE) a me Israel ua kōkua ʻo ia i ka mea kalepa, nāna i hoʻonohonoho i kahi pae no ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana aku o ʻAmelika. E hoʻolohe iā Trump a me kāna mau mea kākoʻo e haʻi iā ia pono he Nobel Peace Prize no ka ʻaelike, Pani 'ōlelo' "Ka ʻAelike ʻAberahama." I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, me ka hoʻohana ʻana ia mea, ua ake nui ʻo ia e kuni iā ​​ia iho ma ke ʻano "Donald Trump, peacemaker" i mua o ke koho balota o Nowemapa. ʻO kēia, e manaʻoʻiʻo mai iaʻu, he lapuwale ia i ka maka o ia. A hiki i ka maʻi ahulau i kahili aku i nā mea āpau ma ka White House, he lā ʻē aʻe ia ma Trump World a me kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe o ka pelekikena o ka pelekikena no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kulekele ʻē aʻe a me ka pūʻali koa no kāna pono kālaiʻāina ponoʻī.

Inā ʻoiaʻiʻo ka luna narcissist i kahi loli, inā ua kapa ʻo ia i kēlā mau ʻōlelo ʻo ʻAberahama i kapa ʻia ʻo "Arms Sales Accords." Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka UAE i kahi ʻāpana, e komo i ka manaʻolana o loaʻa ʻO Lockheed Martin's F-35 hakakā mokulele a me nā drones mea kaua i mua e like me ka makana. No kāna ʻāpana, ma hope o kekahi namunamu, ua hoʻoholo ke Kuhina Nui Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu e lilo i hoʻokahi o ka UAE a ʻimi i kahi hou $ 8 ieeeea? pūʻolo lima mai ke keʻena ʻo Trump, me kahi squadron hou o Lockheed Martin's F-35s (ma ʻō aku o nā mea i hoʻonohonoho ʻia), kahi ʻauwaʻa o nā helikopter ʻo Boeing, a me nā mea hou aku. Inā hele ka ʻaelike, ʻaʻohe mea kānalua e pili ana i ka hoʻonui ʻana o kā Israel mea i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka nui o ka kōkua koa pūʻali koa mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. $ 3.8 ieeeea? i kēlā me kēia makahiki no nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana.

Nā Hana, Nā Hana, Nā Hana

ʻAʻole kēia ka manawa mua i hoʻāʻo ai ʻo Pelekikena Trump e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ke kūʻai aku i nā mea kaua i ka Hikina Waena e hoʻohui i kona kūlana politika ma ka home a me kona kūlana ma ke ʻano he mea hana ma ka ʻāina. Ua hoʻomaka kēlā ʻano i Mei 2017, i ka manawa o kāna luna mua loa huakaʻi hele i nā ʻāina ʻē i Saudi Arabia. ʻO ka Saudis aloha iā ia me ka leho e hoʻonui ana i ka leho, e kau ana i nā hae e hōʻike ana i kona alo ma nā ala e alakaʻi ai i ko lākou kapitala, ʻo Riyadh; Ke hoʻolālā nei i kahi kiʻi nunui o kēlā helehelena like ma ka hōkele kahi e noho ai; a ke hōʻike aku nei iā ia me ka mekala i loko o kahi hana surreal ma kekahi o nā hale aliʻi he nui. No kāna ʻāpana, hele mai ʻo Trump i ka lima i ke ʻano o kahi mea i manaʻo ʻia $ 110 ieeeea? pūʻolo mea kaua. Mai noʻonoʻo i ka nui o ka ʻaelike hoʻonui loa ʻia. Ua ʻae ka pelekikena iā ʻoliʻoli ke ʻano o kāna hana kūʻai aku ma laila e pili ana i nā "hana, nā hana, nā hana" ma United States. Inā pono iā ia e hana me kekahi o nā aupuni repressive loa i ka honua e lawe i kēlā mau hana i ka home, ʻo wai ka mea mālama? ʻAʻole ʻo ia a ʻo kāna hūnōna kāne ʻo Jared Kushner nāna e hoʻomohala i pilina pili me ka Prince Crown Aliʻi loko ʻino a me ka hoʻoilina i ʻike ʻia i ka noho aliʻi, ʻo Mohammed bin Salman.

Ua pāpālua ʻo Trump i kāna mau kūkaʻina hana ma ka hale o White House ma Malaki 2018 me bin Salman. Ua hele mākaukau ka pelekikena me kahi prop no nā kāmera: a palapala 'āina o ka US e hōʻike nei i nā mokuʻāina e (hoʻohiki ʻo ia) e pōmaikaʻi ʻoi loa mai ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā mea kaua Saudi, ʻo ia hoʻi - ʻaʻole ʻoe e pūʻiwa i ka aʻo ʻana - nā mokuʻāina nui o ke koho balota o Pennsylvania, Ohio, a me Wisconsin.

ʻAʻole nō e pīhoihoi iā ʻoe i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana o kā Trump mau hana mai kēlā mau mea kaua Saudi Arabia. I ke aloha o ka moemoeā, ua koi ʻo ia e hana ana i nā mea like he hapalua miliona nā hana e pili ana i nā mea kaua e lawe aku i kēlā aupuni repressive. ʻO ka helu maoli emi ma mua o ka hapaʻumi o kēlā nui - a nui loa ma mua o ka hapaʻumi o hoʻokahi pākēneka o ka hana a ka US. Akā no ke aha e hoʻokuʻu ai i nā ʻoiaʻiʻo i kahi moʻolelo maikaʻi?

ʻO Dominican Arms Dominance

ʻO Donald Trump kahi mamao loa mai ka pelekikena mua e pahu i nā piliona kālā o nā mea kaua i ka Hikina Waena. ʻO kā Obama hoʻokele, no kahi laʻana, ua hana i kahi moʻolelo $ 115 ieeeea? i nā mea kaua i hāʻawi aku ai iā Saudi Arabia i loko o kāna mau makahiki he ʻewalu i ke keʻena, e like me nā mokulele hakakā, nā helikopter hoʻouka kaua, nā kaʻa kaua, nā moku koa, nā ʻōnaehana pale kaua, nā pōkā, nā pū, a me nā pōkā pū.

Ua kūpaʻa kēlā mau kūʻai aku iā Wakinekona wahi ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻolako i nā mea kaua mua a ka Saudi. ʻO nā hapakolu ʻelua o kāna mokulele mokulele ʻo Boeing F-15 mokulele, ka hapa nui o kāna mau pahu wai ʻo General Dynamics M-1s, a ʻo ka hapa nui o kāna mau missiles air-to-ground mai Raytheon lāua ʻo Lockheed Martin. A noʻonoʻo ʻoe, ʻaʻole e noho wale ana kēlā mau mea kaua i nā hale ukana a i ʻole e hōʻike ʻia ana i nā pākaua koa. Aia lākou i waena o nā mea hoʻomake poʻokela i kahi hana hoʻomāinoino Saudi i loko o Yemen i hoʻonāukiuki i ka pōʻino aloha kanaka maikaʻi loa o ka honua.

A hou hoike mai ka Polokalamu Lapaʻau a me Palekana ma ke kikowaena no nā kulekele kūwaho (kahi aʻu i kākau pū ai) e hōʻike ana i ka nani o ka mana o ka US i ka mākeke mea kaua o ka Middle East. Wahi a ka ʻikepili mai ka waihona hoʻoili lima i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia e ka Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, i ka manawa mai 2015 a 2019 i helu ʻia ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no 48% o nā mea kaua nui i lawe ʻia i ka Hikina Waena a me ʻApelika ʻĀkau, a i ʻole (ʻoiai ka nui o ka ʻāina. i kekahi manawa ʻike ʻia acronymically) MENA. Haʻalele kēlā mau helu i nā hāʻawi mai nā mea kūʻai aku nui i ka lepo. Hōʻike lākou ma kahi o ʻekolu mau manawa o nā lima a Lūkia i hāʻawi aku ai iā MENA, ʻelima mau manawa a Farani i hāʻawi ai, 10 mau manawa a ka United Kingdom i lawe aku ai, a 16 mau manawa a Kina hāʻawi.

I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ua hālāwai mākou i ka mea hoʻopuka mea kaua mua ma ka Hikina Waena a me ʻAkau ʻApelika a ʻo mākou ia.

Hōʻike hou ʻia ka mana o nā mea kaua o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e kekahi mea kūʻiʻo: ʻO Wakinekona ka mea hoʻolako kiʻekiʻe i 13 o nā ʻāina he 19 ma laila, e like me Morocco (91% o kāna mau mea kaua i lawe mai), Israel (78%), Saudi ʻAlapia (74%), Ioredane (73%), Lebanona (73%), Kuwait (70%), ka UAE (68%), a me Qatar (50%). Inā hele ka luna o Trump me kāna papahana hoʻopaʻapaʻa e kūʻai aku i nā F-35s a me nā drones mea kaua i ka UAE a me nā mea kālepa e pili ana i $ 8 biliona mau mea kaua me Israel, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka lawe ʻana i nā mea kaua i kēlā mau ʻāina ʻelua i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana. .

Nā hopena hopena

ʻAʻole kekahi o nā mea pāʻani i nā kaua weliweli loa o kēia wā ma ka Hikina Waena e hana i kā lākou mea kaua ponoʻī, ʻo ia hoʻi nā lawe mai mai ka US a me nā mea hoʻolako ʻē aʻe nā wahie maoli e kākoʻo nei i kēlā mau hakakā. Hoʻololi pinepine nā mea hoʻolaha i nā lima i ka ʻāina MENA e wehewehe pinepine iā lākou ma ke ʻano he ikaika no ka "kūpaʻa," kahi ala e hoʻopaʻa ai i nā kuʻikahi, kūʻē iā Iran, a i ʻole he mea hana maʻamau no ka hana ʻana i ke kaulike o ka mana e hoʻemi iki ai ka hoʻopili ʻana o ka mea kaua.

I nā hakakā hakakā he nui i ka ʻāina, ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe o ka moemoeā kūpono no nā mea lako lima (a me ke aupuni US), ʻoiai ke kahe o nā mea kaua ʻoi aku ka nui i hoʻonui i nā hakakā, hoʻomāhuahua i nā hana hewa kanaka, a hana i nā lehulehu lehulehu. nā make a me nā ʻeha, ʻoiai e hoʻonāukiuki ana i ka luku nui. A e noʻonoʻo ʻoiai ʻaʻole kuleana wale nō, ʻo Wakinekona ke poʻo nui i ka wā e pili ana i nā mea kaua e hoʻouluulu ana i nā kaua kolohe o ka wahi.

I Yemen, kahi hui alakaʻi alakaʻi Saudi / UAE i hoʻomaka ʻia i Malaki 2015, i kēia manawa, ua ka make ʻana o nā tausani lehulehu ma o ka ʻā ʻana i ka lewa, waiho i mau miliona i ka wī o ka wī, a kōkua i ka hana ʻana i nā kūlana weliweli no ka laha loa ʻana o ka maʻi cholera i ka hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo. Ua ʻoi aku ke kumu kūʻai o kēlā kaua ma mua o Noho 100,000 aʻo ka US a me ke Aupuni Hui Pū ʻIa nā mea hoʻolako mua o ka mokulele hakakā, nā pōkā, nā helikopter hoʻouka kaua, nā missiles, a me nā kaʻa kaua i hoʻohana ʻia ma laila, nā hoʻoili waiwai i loko o nā ʻumi biliona kālā.

Loaa a lele lele i nā lako kaua holoʻokoʻa i Saudi Arabia mai ka hoʻoili ʻia ʻana o kēlā kaua. Ua lawa ka nui, nā mea kaua i hoʻouna ʻia i ke Aupuni i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka pāpālua ma waena o ka manawa 2010-2014 a me nā makahiki mai 2015 a 2019. Hui pū ʻia, ʻo US (74%) a me UK (13%) nā 87% o nā hāʻawi lima āpau i ʻO Saudi Arabia i kēlā manawa manawa ʻelima mau makahiki.

Ma ʻAigupita, nā mokulele hakakā i hoʻolako ʻia e US hoʻohana i ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he hana counterterror ma ka wao nahele ʻo Northern Sinai, ka mea i lilo maoli i kaua i kūʻē nui ʻia i ka lehulehu ma ia wahi. Ma waena o 2015 a me 2019, hāʻawi nā lima o Wakinekona i ʻAigupita i ka nui $ 2.3 ieeeea?, me nā piliona hou aku i nā hana i hana ʻia ma mua akā hāʻawi ʻia i kēlā mau makahiki. A i Mei 2020, ka Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency hai mai la ke hāʻawi nei ʻo ia i kahi pūʻolo o nā helikopter hōʻeuʻeu Apache i ʻAigupita e kū nei i $ 2.3 biliona.

Wahi a noiʻi alakaʻi ʻia e Human Rights Watch, he mau kaukani mau kānaka i hopu ʻia ma ka moku ʻo Sinai i nā makahiki ʻeono i hala aku nei, ua nalowale nā ​​haneli he haneli, a ua kipaku ʻia he ʻumi tausani mai ko lākou mau home aku. ʻO ka mea kaua i nā niho, ua hoʻokō pū ka pūʻali koa ʻAigupita i "ka hopu ʻōnaehana a hoʻolaha ākea - e like me nā keiki - hoʻokō ʻole ʻia, hoʻomāinoino, pepehi kanaka extrajudicial, hoʻopaʻi hoʻopaʻi, a kipaku ʻia." Aia kekahi mau hōʻike e hōʻike nei ua hana ka pūʻali koa ʻAigupita i ka lewa kūleʻa a me nā ʻōkuhi honua i luku ʻia i ka nui o nā lehulehu.

I kekahi mau hakakā - nā hiʻohiʻona o ka hoʻoili ʻana i nā mea kaua i hiki ke loaʻa nā hopena koʻikoʻi a me nā mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻia - ua pau nā lima o US i nā lima o nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua. I ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o nā pūʻali koa Tureke i ka hikina hikina o Suria i ʻOkakopa 2019, no ka laʻana, ua alo lākou i nā pūʻali koa Suria i alakaʻi ʻia e Kurdish i loaʻa i kekahi o nā $ 2.5 ieeeea? i nā mea kaua a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana a ka US i hāʻawi aku ai i nā pūʻali kūʻē Suria i nā makahiki ʻelima i hala. I kēia manawa, ʻo Tureke holoʻokoʻa mo'olako o nā mokulele hakakā ʻo nā F-16 i hāʻawi ʻia e US a ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o kāna mau kaʻa i kāhiko ʻia no ʻAmelika.

I ʻIraka, i ka wā i hele aku ai nā pūʻali koa o ka Islamic State, a i ʻole ISIS, i loko o kahi ʻāpana nui o kēlā ʻāina mai ka ʻākau o 2014. hopuʻia ʻO nā mea kaua māmā a me nā kaʻa i kāhiko ʻia i waiwai ʻia he mau piliona kālā mai nā pūʻali koa Iraqi i lako kaua a hoʻomaʻamaʻa kēia ʻāina. Pēlā nō, i nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā mea kaua o US mai ka pūʻali koa Iraqi i nā pūʻali koa i kākoʻo ʻia e Iran e hana pū ana me lākou i ke kaua kūʻē iā ISIS.

I kēia manawa, ma Yemen, ʻoiai ua mākaukau pono ka US i ka hui ʻana Saudi / UAE, ʻo kāna mea kaua, he ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua pau hoʻohana ʻia e nā ʻaoʻao āpau i ka hakakā, e like me ko lākou mau hoa paio Houthi, nā pūʻali koa ekstremista, a me nā hui e pili ana iā Al-Qaeda ma ka Arabian Peninsula. ʻO kēia hoʻolaha like ʻana o ka mea kaua o ʻAmelika ua hana ʻia ma muli o ka hoʻoili kaua o nā lālā mua o ka pūʻali koa Yemeni i hoʻolako ʻia e US a na Nā pūʻali koa UAE i hana me ka pūʻulu o nā hui ma ka hema o ka ʻāina.

ʻO wai ka mea maikaʻi?

ʻEhā mau hui - Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, a me General Dynamics komo i ka hapa nui o nā mea kaua o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e pili ana me Saudi Arabia ma waena o 2009 a me 2019. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ma ka liʻiliʻi he hoʻokahi a ʻoi paha o kēlā mau ʻoihana i hoʻokani i nā kuleana nui i nā makana he 27 i ʻoi aku ma mua o $ 125 biliona (mai ka huina o nā makana he 51 i loaʻa ka $ 138 biliona) . I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, i nā ʻōlelo kālā, ʻoi aku ma mua o 90% o nā mea kaua o US i hāʻawi ʻia iā Saudi Arabia e pili ana i hoʻokahi o kēlā mau mea hana nui ʻehā.

I kāna hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū hoʻomāinoino ma Yemen, aia nā Saudis pepehi tausani o nā makaʻāinana me nā mea kaua i hoʻolako ʻia e US. I nā makahiki mai ka wā i hoʻokumu ai ke Aupuni i kāna kaua, hahau ʻino ʻole e ka hui ʻana o Saudi-alakaʻi ua kū i nā mākeke, nā haukapila, nā kaiāulu kīwila, nā wahi mālama wai, ʻoiai kahi kaʻa ʻōhua i piha me nā keiki. Ua hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā pōkā i hana ʻia e ʻAmelika i loko o ia mau hanana, e like me ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma kahi male, ma kahi o 21 poʻe, nā keiki i waena o lākou. pepehi e kahi pōkā alakaʻi GBU-12 Paveway II i hana ʻia e Raytheon.

Ua hoʻohana ʻia he pōpoki General Dynamics 2,000-paona me kahi ʻōnaehana alakaʻi ʻo Boeing JDAM i ka lā Malaki 2016 hahau ma kahi mākeke i luku ʻia 97 mau makaʻāinana, me 25 keiki. ʻO kahi pōkā alakaʻi ʻia e Laser ma Lockheed Martin hoʻohana ʻia i kahi hoʻouka kaua ʻo ʻAukake 2018 ma ke kaʻa ʻōhua nāna i luku nā kānaka he 51, me nā keiki he 40. A Kepakemapa 2018 hoike e ka hui Yemeni ʻo Mwatana no nā pono kīvila i ʻike ʻia he 19 mau hana lele kaua ma luna o nā makaʻāinana kahi i hoʻohana pono ʻia ai nā mea kaua i hoʻolako ʻia e US, e kuhikuhi ana i ka luku ʻia ʻana o kēlā kaʻa kaʻaahi "ʻaʻole ia he hanana kaʻawale, akā ʻo ka mea hou loa i loko o kahi moʻo weliweli [Saudi- alakaʻi] Coalition hoʻouka kaua e pili ana i nā mea kaua o US. "

Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻaʻole i kū nā kūʻai aku o nā mea kaua me ke kū ʻole ʻole. I ka 2019, nā hale ʻelua o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo Ua kohoʻia kahi kūʻai pōkā i Saudi Arabia ma muli o ka hoʻouka kaua ma Yemen, no ka mea ua hoʻohoka lākou i ka bya pelekikena veto. I kekahi mau hanana, e like me ka mea kūpono i ka modus operandi o ka Trump Trump, ua pili kēlā mau kūʻai aku i nā hana politika kānalua. E laʻa, e laʻa, i Mei 2019 hōʻike o kahi "pilikia" i hoʻohana ʻia e pahu i loko o kahi $ 8.1 ieeeea? hana pū me nā Saudis, ka UAE, a me Ioredane no nā pōkā alakaʻi pono a me nā pono hana ʻē aʻe i kāpae wale i nā kaʻina hana ʻo Kongreso maʻamau.

Ma ke kauoha a ka ʻAhaʻōlelo, ua wehe ka Office o ka Luna Nānā o ka Mokuʻāina i kahi hoʻokolokolo no nā kūlana e pili ana i kēlā ʻōlelo hoʻolaha, ma kekahi hapa no ka mea kalaiia na kekahi lobbyist Raytheon mua e hana ana ma ka Office of Legal Counsel o ka Mokuʻāina. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka luna hoʻomalu nui nāna i mālama i ka ʻimi kuʻina, ʻo Stephen Linick ka mea i hala puhiʻia na ke Kakauolelo o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Mike Pompeo no ka makaʻu i kāna hoʻokolokolo ʻana e wehe aʻe i ka hewa o ka hoʻokele a, ma hope o kona hala ʻana, ua ʻike ʻia nā mea hope loa - pūʻiwa! - kahi keʻokeʻo, e kala ka hooponopono. Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻomaopopo ka hōʻike i ke alakaʻi ʻana o Trump pilikia ka e mālama pono e hōʻalo i ka hōʻino kīwila e nā mea kaua a US i hāʻawi ʻia i nā Saudis.

ʻOiai kekahi o nā luna hoʻomalu o Trump i loaʻa i ka wīwī e pili ana i nā hana Saudi. ʻO ka New York Times i hoike ua hopohopo kekahi mau limahana o ka Mokuʻāina no ka hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopaʻi ʻia i kekahi lā no ke kōkua ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i nā hewa kaua ma Yemen.

E hoʻomau ʻo ʻAmelika i ka mea kūʻai lima nui loa o ka honua?

Inā koho hou ʻia ʻo Donald Trump, mai manaʻo i nā kūʻai aku o US i ka Hikina Waena - a i ʻole nā ​​hopena pepehi kanaka - e hoʻēmi koke i kēlā me kēia manawa. I kāna hōʻaiʻē, ua hoʻohiki ʻo Joe Biden i pelekikena e hoʻopau i nā mea kaua o US a me ke kākoʻo no ke kaua Saudi ma Yemen. No ka ʻāpana holoʻokoʻa, akā naʻe, mai pīhoihoi ʻoe inā, i loko o kahi pelekikena ʻo Biden, ke hoʻomau nei ke kahe ʻana o ia mea kaua a lilo ia i ʻoihana maʻamau e like me nā mea kalepa nui o kēia ʻāina i mea e pōʻino ai ka poʻe o ka Hikina Waena. . Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻo Raytheon a i ʻole Lockheed Martin, ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā mea kaua kahi wahi e makemake ʻole ai kekahi e mālama iā ʻAmelika “maikaʻi.”
