Me ke kaua ʻo Ukraine i kēia manawa i kona hōʻailona hoʻokahi makahiki ma Pepeluali 24, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ka poʻe Lūkini ka lanakila kaua akā ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ke Komohana i kāna mau pahuhopu ma ke alo waiwai. I ka wā i hoʻouka kaua ai ʻo Rūsia iā Ukraine, ua hoʻohiki ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me kona mau hoa ʻEulopa e kau i nā hoʻopaʻi hoʻopaʻi e hiki ai ke kukuli iā Rūsia a koi aku iā ia e haʻalele.
Na ke komohana e kukulu i Pale Hao hou, he mau haneri mile ma ka hikina o ka mea kahiko, e hookaawale ana i Rusia kaawale, pio, banekorupa mai ke Komohana i hui hou ia, lanakila a pomaikai. ʻAʻole wale ʻo Rūsia i kū i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana, akā ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā hoʻopaʻi - e pā ana i nā ʻāina i hoʻokau iā lākou.
ʻO ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana o ke Komohana iā Rūsia ua hōʻemi i ka hoʻolako ʻana i ka honua o ka aila a me ke kinoea maoli, akā ua hoʻonui pū i nā kumukūʻai. No laila ua loaʻa ʻo Rūsia mai nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe, ʻoiai ua emi ka nui o kāna lawe ʻana aku. ʻO ka International Monetary Fund (IMF) hōʻike pū ʻO ka hoʻokele waiwai o Rūsia i ʻaelike wale ʻia e 2.2% i 2022, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka 8.5% contraction i loaʻa iā ia. kēla, a ke wānana nei e ulu maoli ka hoʻokele waiwai o Rūsia ma 0.3% i 2023.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ua emi ka hoʻokele waiwai o Ukraine ma 35% a ʻoi aku paha, ʻoiai he $46 biliona i ke kōkua kālā mai nā ʻauhau ʻauhau ʻAmelika, ma luna o $ 67 biliona i ke kōkua koa.
Ke piʻi pū nei nā ʻoihana ʻEulopa. Ma hope o ka ulu ʻana e 3.5% i 2022, ʻo ka hoʻokele waiwai o Euro ʻikeʻia e stagnate a ulu wale i ka 0.7% i 2023, aʻo ka hoʻokele waiwai Pelekane e kuhi ʻia e ʻaelike maoli e 0.6%. Ua hilinaʻi nui ʻia ʻo Kelemania i ka ikehu Lūkini i lawe ʻia mai ma mua o nā ʻāina ʻEulopa nui ʻē aʻe, no laila, ma hope o ka ulu ʻana i kahi liʻiliʻi 1.9% ma 2022, ua wānana ʻia e loaʻa ʻole ka ulu ʻana o 0.1% ma 2023. uku ma kahi o 40% hou aku no ka ikehu ma 2023 ma mua o 2021.
ʻAʻole liʻiliʻi ka hopena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma mua o ʻEulopa, akā ua emi kona ulu ʻana mai ka 5.9% i 2021 a i 2% i 2022, a ua manaʻo ʻia e hoʻomau i ka emi ʻana, i 1.4% i 2023 a me 1% i 2024. ʻOiai ʻo India, ka mea i noho kū ʻole. ʻoiai ke kūʻai ʻana i ka aila mai Rūsia ma ke kumu kūʻai hoʻemi, manaʻo ʻia e mālama i kāna ulu ulu ʻana o 2022 ma luna o 6% o ka makahiki āpau ma 2023 a me 2024. Ua pōmaikaʻi hoʻi ʻo Kina mai ke kūʻai ʻana i ka aila Lūkini i hoʻemi ʻia a mai ka piʻi ʻana o ke kālepa holoʻokoʻa me Russia o 30% i 2022. ʻO ka hoʻokele waiwai o Kina ʻikeʻia e ulu ma 5% i kēia makahiki.
Ua ʻohi nā mea hana ʻaila a me nā kinoea ʻē aʻe i ka loaʻa kālā mai ka hopena o nā hoʻopaʻi. Ua piʻi ka GDP o Saudi Arabia i ka 8.7%, ʻo ka wikiwiki loa o nā ʻoihana nui a pau, ʻoiai ʻakaʻaka nā hui aila o ke Komohana i ke ala āpau i ka panakō e waiho ai. $ 200 ieeeea? i ka loaʻa kālā: Ua hana ʻo ExxonMobil i $ 56 biliona, he moʻolelo manawa āpau no kahi hui ʻaila, ʻoiai ua hana ʻo Shell i $ 40 biliona a ua loaʻa iā Chevron a me Total $ 36 biliona i kēlā me kēia. Ua hana ʻo BP "wale nō" $ 28 biliona, ʻoiai ua pani ʻo ia i kāna mau hana ma Rūsia, akā ua pāpālua ʻo ia i kāna mau waiwai 2021.
No ke kinoea maoli, ʻo US LNG (liquefied natural gas) nā mea hoʻolako e like me Cheniere a me nā hui e like me Total e puʻunaue ana i ke kinoea ma ʻEulopa. Hoʻololi ʻO ka hoʻolako ʻana o ʻEulopa i ke kinoea kūlohelohe Lūkia me nā kinoea fracked mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ma kahi o ʻehā mau manawa o ka uku o nā mea kūʻai aku o US, a me ka weliweli ka hopena o ke aniau o ka fracking. ʻO kahi hoʻoilo haʻahaʻa ma ʻEulopa a he $ 850 biliona nui Nā kōkua aupuni o ʻEulopa i nā ʻohana a me nā ʻoihana i hoʻihoʻi i nā kumukūʻai ikehu kūʻai i lalo i nā pae 2021, akā ma hope wale nō kauʻia ʻelima mau manawa kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ke kauwela o 2022.
ʻOiai ua hoʻihoʻi ke kaua i ka mālama ʻana o ʻEulopa i ka hegemony US i ka wā pōkole, hiki i kēia mau hopena honua maoli o ke kaua ke loaʻa nā hopena ʻokoʻa i ka wā lōʻihi. ʻO ka Pelekikena Pelekane ʻo Emmanuel Macron haʻi, "Ma ka pōʻaiapili geopolitical o kēia mau lā, ma waena o nā ʻāina e kākoʻo ana iā Ukraine, aia ʻelua mau ʻāpana i hana ʻia ma ka mākeke kinoea: ʻo ka poʻe e uku nui nei a me ka poʻe e kūʻai aku ana i nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe loa… ke kūʻai aku nei ma ke kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe… Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole ia he hoaaloha.
ʻO kahi hana aloha ʻē aʻe ʻo ia ka sabotage o ka Nord Stream undersea pipelines i lawe mai i ke kinoea Lūkini i Kelemania. Seymour Hersh hoike ua puhi ʻia nā paipu e ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, me ke kōkua ʻana o Norewai-ʻo nā ʻāina ʻelua i hoʻoneʻe iā Russia ma ke ʻano he ʻelua o ʻEulopa. nui loa nā mea hoʻolako kinoea. Hoʻohui ʻia me ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe o ke kinoea fracked US, loaʻa kēia uhu ka huhū ma waena o ka lehulehu o ʻEulopa. I ka wā lōʻihi, hiki i nā alakaʻi o ʻEulopa ke hoʻoholo i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻāina i ke kūʻokoʻa politika a me ka hoʻokele waiwai mai nā ʻāina e hoʻomaka ana i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana iā ia, a ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Rusia.

Ma muli o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā mea kaua e ʻōwili i nā laina hana e kūkulu i kēia mau waihona, ʻike maikaʻi ʻia ka nui o nā waiwai kaua i manaʻo ʻia e ka ʻoihana mea kaua, i kēia manawa, i ka 2022 piʻi i kā lākou kumukūʻai: Lockheed Martin, piʻi 37%; ʻO Northrop Grumman, piʻi 41%; Raytheon, piʻi 17%; a me General Dynamics, piʻi 19%.
ʻOiai ua pōmaikaʻi kekahi mau ʻāina a me nā ʻoihana mai ke kaua, ʻo nā ʻāina mamao loa mai kahi o ka hakakā ʻana ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia mai ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai. Ua lilo ʻo Rūsia a me Ukraine i mea hoʻolako koʻikoʻi i ka palaoa, ka palaoa, ka aila kuke a me nā mea kanu i ka hapa nui o ka honua. ʻO ke kaua a me nā hoʻopaʻi ua hoʻopau i kēia mau waiwai āpau, a me ka wahie no ka lawe ʻana iā lākou, e koi ana i nā kumukūʻai meaʻai honua i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.
No laila ʻo nā poʻe nui ʻē aʻe i kēia kaua he poʻe ma ka Global South e hilinaʻi nei ka hoʻokomo ʻO nā meaʻai a me nā mea kanu mai Rusia a me Ukraine e hānai wale i ko lākou ʻohana. ʻO ʻAigupita a me Tureke ka mea lawe nui loa i ka palaoa Lūkia a me Ukrainian, ʻoiai he ʻumi mau ʻāina ʻē aʻe i hilinaʻi nui ʻia ma Rusia a me Ukraine no kā lākou lako palaoa, mai Bangladesh, Pakistan a me Laos i Benin, Rwanda a me Somalia. Umikumālima Ua lawe mai nā ʻāina ʻApelika ma mua o ka hapalua o kā lākou lako palaoa mai Russia a me Ukraine i 2020.
