Na Medea Benjamin lāua ʻo Nicolas JS Davies, Nowemapa 9, 2020

Mahalo iā Joe Biden i kāna koho balota ʻana ma ke ʻano pelekikena hou o ʻAmelika. Ua pīhoihoi ka poʻe āpau a puni kēia honua i hoʻopilikia ʻia i ka maʻi ahulau, kaua a weluwelu i ka hana hoʻomāinoino a me ka hoʻokalakupua o ke keʻena ʻo Trump, a ke kānalua nei no ka wehe ʻana o ka pelekikena o Biden i ka puka i ke ʻano o ka laulima kūloko e pono ai iā mākou nā pilikia koʻikoʻi e kū nei i ke kanaka i kēia kenekulia.

No nā mea holomua ma nā wahi āpau, ʻo ka ʻike "hiki i kahi honua ʻē aʻe" i kākoʻo iā mākou i loko o nā makahiki he haneri, ka like ʻole loa a me ke kaua, e like me ka alakaʻi ʻana o US. neoliberalism ua hoʻopapa hou a hānai ikaika i ka 19 kenekulia la la-la kapitalism i ka poʻe o ke kenekulia 21. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka ʻike Trump, i ke kōkua nui, kahi e alakaʻi ai kēia mau kulekele. 

Ua uku maoli ʻo Joe Biden i kāna uku pono a ʻohiʻohi i nā makana mai ka ʻōnaehana politika a me ka hoʻokele waiwai like ʻole e like me Trump, ʻoiai ka mea ʻoliʻoli i hoʻokani i kēlā me kēia kumu ʻōlelo. Akā pono ʻo Biden e hoʻomaopopo i ka poʻe koho balota ʻōpio ʻo ia ka mea i huli i nā helu like ʻole e waiho iā ia i ka White House i ola i ko lākou ola holoʻokoʻa ma lalo o kēia neoliberal ʻōnaehana, a ʻaʻole i koho no "nā mea like." ʻAʻole nō hoʻi lākou i noʻonoʻo noʻonoʻo ʻole i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā pilikia o ke kaiāulu ʻAmelika e like me ka racism, militarism a me nā politika kalepa i hoʻomaka me Trump. 

I ka wā o kāna koho balota ʻana, ua hilinaʻi ʻo Biden i nā kākāʻōlelo o nā kulekele ʻē aʻe mai nā wā i hala aku nei, ʻo ia hoʻi ka luna o Obama, a ke manaʻo nei paha e noʻonoʻo ana i kekahi o lākou no nā keʻena kuhina kiʻekiʻe. No ka hapa nui, he lālā lākou o ka "blob Washington" e hōʻike nei i kahi hoʻomau weliweli me nā kulekele i hala e pili ana i ka militarism a me nā hana ʻino ʻē aʻe o ka mana.

 Hoʻopili kēia i nā hana i Libya a me Suria, ke kākoʻo no ke kaua Saudi ma Yemen, ke kaua drone, ka paʻa paʻa ʻole me ka hoʻokolokolo ʻole ʻia ma Guantanamo, ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā whistleblowers a me ka hoʻomāinoino keʻokeʻo. Ua hoʻolimalima kekahi o kēia poʻe i kā lākou pili aupuni e hana i nā uku hefty i ke kūkākūkā ʻana i nā ʻoihana kūkākūkā a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe e hānai ana i nā ʻaelike aupuni.  

• Ma ke ʻano he Kakauolelo Hope o ka Mokuʻāina a me ka Hope Kūkā Maluhia o ka Lehulehu i Obama, ʻO Tony Blinken he mea nui i nā kulekele kūʻē a pau a Obama. A laila hoʻokumu ʻo ia i WestExec Advisors i loaʻa kālā mai ke kūkākūkā ʻana i nā ʻaelike ma waena o nā ʻoihana a me ka Pentagon, me kahi mea no Google e hoʻomohala i ka ʻenehana Artificial Intelligence no ke kau ʻana i ka drone, kahi i kū wale ʻia e kahi kipi i waena o nā limahana o Google huhū.

• Mai ka noho ʻana o Clinton, ʻO Michele Flournoy he kuhukukū poʻokela ʻo ia no ke aʻo hewa a imperialist o ka US o ke kaua honua a me ka noho ʻana o ka pūʻali koa. ʻOiai ʻo Obama's Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, ua kōkua ʻo ia e ʻenekini i kāna piʻi ʻana o ke kaua ma Afghanistan a me nā hana i Libya a me Suria. Ma waena o nā hana ma ka Pentagon, ua hana ʻo ia i ka puka hoʻohuli kolohe e kūkākūkā no nā ʻoihana e ʻimi nei i nā ʻaelike Pentagon, e loaʻa pū i kahi pahu wai manaʻo pūʻali koa i kapa ʻia ʻo Center no kahi New American Security (CNAS), a i kēia manawa e hui pū me Tony Blinken ma Nā aʻoaʻo aʻoaʻo o WestExec.    

• Nicholas Burns ʻo ia ka ʻelele a US i NATO i ka wā o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana a US no Afghanistan a me ʻIraka. Mai ka 2008, ua hana ʻo ia no ke Kākauʻōlelo ʻo Defense Defense William Cohen's paʻa lobbying ʻO ka Cohen Group, kahi lobbyist nui honua no ka ʻoihana kaua US. Burns he hawk ma Rūsia a me Kina a loaʻa ua hoʻohewaʻia ʻO ka whistleblower NSA ʻo Edward Snowden ma ke ʻano he "kumakaia." 

• Ma ke ʻano he kākāʻōlelo aʻoaʻo iā Obama a me ka Mokuʻāina Mokuʻāina a laila ma ke ʻano he Deputy CIA Director a me Deputy National Security Advisor, ʻO Avril Haines hāʻawi i ka uhi kānāwai a hana pū me Obama a me CIA Luna Hoʻokele ʻo John Brennan ma kā Obama hoʻonui hoʻonui he ʻumi o ka pepehi kanaka ʻana. 

• ʻO Samantha Mana lawelawe ma lalo o Obama ma ke ʻano he ʻelele UN a me ka Luna Hoʻokele Kuleana Kanaka ma ka National Security Council. Kākoʻo ʻo ia i nā hana a US ma Libia a me Suria, a me nā alakaʻi Saudi hoʻi kaua ma Yemen. A ʻoiai ʻo kāna kuleana kuleana kanaka, ʻaʻole ia i ʻōlelo kūʻē i ka hōʻeha ʻana o ka ʻIseraʻela iā Gaza i kū ma lalo o kona noho ʻana a i ʻole ka hoʻohana nui ʻana a Obama i nā drones i make he mau haneli mau kānaka kīwī.

• ʻO Hillary Clinton mea kōkua ma mua ʻO Jake Sullivan hoʻokani a alakaʻi alakaʻi i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana iā US huna a me nā kaua hope i Libia a Suria. 

• Ma ke ʻano he ʻelele UN ma ka wā mua o Obama, ʻO Susan Rice Loaʻa iā UN uhi no kāna hoʻopilikia pōʻino ma Libia. Ma ke ʻano he Kauka aʻoaʻo palekana no ka wā ʻelua o Obama, ua pale aku ʻo Rice i ka huhū o ʻIseraʻela bombardment o Gaza i ka 2014, kaena e pili ana i ka US "crippling penalty" ma ʻIrana a me Kōlea ʻĀkau, a kākoʻo i kahi kūʻē kūʻē iā Rūsia a me Kina.

ʻO kahi hui kulekele ʻē aʻe i alakaʻi ʻia e kēlā mau kānaka e hoʻomau i nā kaua pau ʻole, ka Pentagon overreach a me ka haunaele CIA i alakaʻi hewa ʻia e mākou a me ka honua - i hoʻomanawanui ʻia no nā makahiki he iwakālua o ke Kaua Kaua Terorori.

Ke hana nei i ka diplomasia "ka mea hana mua i kā mākou pili honua."

E lawe ʻo Biden i ke keʻena ma waena o nā pilikia nui loa a ka lāhui kanaka i kū ai - mai ka like kaulike ʻole, ka ʻaiʻē a me ka ʻilihune i hoʻokumu ʻia e neoliberalism, i nā kaua hiki ʻole a me ka makaʻu kūpuna o ke kaua nukelea, i ka pilikia o ke aniau, ka luku nui a me ka maʻi pandia Covid-19. 

ʻAʻole e hoʻonā ʻia kēia mau pilikia e ka poʻe like, a me nā manaʻo like, i hoʻokomo iā mākou i loko o kēia mau pilikia. I ka wā e pili ana i nā kulekele ʻē aʻe, pono nui i nā limahana a me nā kulekele i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka ʻike ʻana i nā pilikia nui a mākou e kū nei he mau pilikia e pili ana i ka honua holoʻokoʻa, a hiki wale nō ke hoʻoholo ʻia e ka laulima kūloko maoli, ʻaʻole nā ​​hakakā a i ʻole kāohi.

I ka wā o ka hoʻouka kaua, Pūnaewele ʻo Joe Biden ua hoʻolaha ʻia, "Ma ke ʻano he pelekikena, e hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻo Biden i ka diplomacy ma ke ʻano he mea hana mua no kā mākou pili honua. E kūkulu hou ʻo ia i kahi ʻoihana mokuʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa o kēia wā hou — hoʻopukapuka a me ka mana hou i nā pūʻulu diplomasika maikaʻi loa o ka honua a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kālena piha a me ka momona o nā ʻano like ʻole o ʻAmelika. ”

Hōʻike kēia i ka kulekele ʻē aʻe o Biden e mālama nui ʻia e ka Mokuʻāina Mokuʻāina, ʻaʻole ka Pentagon. Ke Kaua Anuanu a me ʻAmelika post-Cold War lanakila lanakila alakaʻi i ka hoʻohuli i kēia mau kuleana, me ka Pentagon a me CIA ke alakaʻi a me ka Mokuʻāina Moku'āina e hele ana ma hope o lākou (me 5% wale nō o kā lākou moʻohelu kālā), e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā mea maikaʻi a hoʻihoʻi i kahi veneer o ke kauoha i nā ʻāina i luku ʻia e Nā pōkā ʻAmelika a i ʻole destabilized e US hoʻoponopono, nā wāwae a nā mea make. 

I ka wā Trump, ua hōʻemi ke kākau ʻōlelo o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Mike Pompeo i ka mokuʻāina ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o a hui kime no ka hui pūʻali koa-ʻoihana e hoʻopaʻa i nā mea hana lima maikaʻi me India, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, ka UAE a me nā ʻāina a puni ka honua. 

ʻO ka mea a mākou e pono ai he kulekele haole e alakaʻi ʻia e ka Mokuʻāina Mokuʻāina e hoʻoponopono i nā ʻokoʻa me ko mākou mau hoanoho ma o ka diplomacy a me nā kūkākūkā ʻana, ma ke ʻano he kānāwai kūwaho. i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo koi, a me kahi Keʻena Pale Kaua e pale aku iā ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a pale i ka huhū kūwaho kūʻē iā mākou, ma kahi o ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana a me ka hana kūʻē i ko mākou mau hoanoho a puni ka honua.

E like me ka ʻōlelo, "he kulekele nā ​​limahana," no laila, ʻo ka mea a Biden e koho ai no nā pou kulekele ʻē aʻe e kī i ke kuhikuhi ʻana i kāna ʻaoʻao. ʻOiai ʻo kā mākou makemake pilikino e waiho i nā kulekele kulekele ʻē aʻe i ka lima o ka poʻe i lilo i ko lākou ola e ʻimi nei i ka maluhia a me ke kūʻē ʻana i ka hōʻeuʻeu pūʻali koa US, ʻaʻole wale ia i nā kāleka me kēia ʻoihana waena o ke alanui Biden. 

Akā aia kekahi mau manawa i hiki iā Biden ke hana e hāʻawi i kāna kulekele ʻē aʻe i ke koʻikoʻi i ka diplomacy a me ke kūkā kamaʻilio ʻana āna i makemake ai. ʻO kēia nā diplomata ʻAmelika i kūkākūkā kūleʻa i nā ʻaelike koʻikoʻi o ka honua, ua aʻo aku i nā alakaʻi o ka US no ka weliweli o ka militarism hōʻeuʻeu a hoʻomohala i ka ʻike loea i nā wahi koʻikoʻi e like me ka hoʻomalu lima.    

William Burns ʻo ia ka Hope Kakauolelo o ka Mokuʻāina ma lalo o Obama, ke kūlana # 2 ma ka ʻOihana Mokuʻāina, a ʻo ia nō ke alakaʻi o ka ʻĀina Carnegie no ka Peace International. Ma ke ʻano he kākau ʻōlelo no ka Hikina Hikina i ka makahiki 2002, ua hāʻawi ʻo Burns i ke kākau ʻōlelo o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Powell i kahu no kikoʻī akā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻolohe ʻole hiki i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana iā ʻIraka ke "wehe" a hana i kahi "ʻino maikaʻi" no nā pono ʻAmelika. Ua lawelawe ʻo Burns ma ke ʻano he ʻelele US ma Ioredane a laila ʻo Rūsia.

ʻO Wendy Sherman ʻo ia ʻo Undersecretary o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Obama no nā hana kālaiʻāina, ke kūlana # 4 ma ka ʻOihana Mokuʻāina, a ʻo ia hoʻi ka hope kākau ʻōlelo o ka mokuʻāina ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana o Burns. ʻO Sherman ka alakaʻi kūkākūkā no ka ʻaelike ʻelua o ka1994 Framework aelike me Kōlea ʻĀkau a me nā kūkākūkā ʻana me Iran i alakaʻi ai i ka ʻaelike nukelea o ʻIrani i ka makahiki 2015. ʻO kēia nō ke ʻano o ka ʻike e pono ai ʻo Biden i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe inā manaʻo nui ʻo ia e pili hou i ka diplomacy ʻAmelika.

ʻO Tom Countryman i kēia manawa ka Noho o ka Hui Pūʻali Pūnaewele. I ka noho aupuni ʻana o Obama, ua lawelawe ʻo Countryman ma ke ʻano he Undersecretary o ka Mokuʻāina no nā mea e pili ana i ka maluhia o ka honua, he mea kākau ʻōlelo no ke aupuni no ka maluhia honua a me ka Nonproliferation, a ʻo ka mea kōkua hope kākau ʻōlelo no ka politika. Ua lawelawe ʻo ia ma nā ʻelele US ma Belgrade, Cairo, Roma a me Athens, a ma ke ʻano he aʻoaʻo aʻoaʻo kulekele ʻē aʻe i ka Commandant o ka US Marine Corps. He mea koʻikoʻi paha kā ke kamaʻāina Countryman i ka hōʻemi ʻana a i ʻole ka lawe ʻana i ka makaʻu o ke kaua nukelea. E ʻoluʻolu nō hoʻi i ka ʻēheu holomua o ka ʻaoʻao Kemokalaka, ʻoiai ua kākoʻo ʻo Tom iā Senator Bernie Sanders i pelekikena.

Ma waho aʻe o kēia mau diplomats ʻoihana, aia kekahi mau lālā o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo i loaʻa ka loea i ka kulekele ʻē aʻe a hiki ke hoʻokani i nā kuleana koʻikoʻi i kahi hui kulekele ʻē aʻe o Biden. Hoʻokahi mea Lunamakaʻāinana Ro Khanna, ʻo ia ka mea i poʻokela i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke kākoʻo o US no ke kaua ma Yemen, e hoʻonā ana i ka hakakā me Kōlea ʻĀkau a me ka hoʻopiʻi hou ʻana i ka mana kumukānāwai o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pūʻali koa. 

ʻO Lunamakaʻāinana kekahi ʻO Karen Bass, ʻo ia nō ka noho o ka ʻAhaʻeleʻele Caucus a me ka Komite Kōkua o ko nā ʻāina ʻē ma ʻApelika, ʻO ke olakino honua, nā pono kanaka, a me nā hui honua.

Inā paʻa ka hapa nui o ka Repubalika i ka Senate, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka hōʻoia ʻana i nā wā i koho ʻia ma mua o ka lanakila ʻana o ka Democrats i nā noho ʻelua o Georgia. alai no ka holo holo, a i ʻole inā ua holo lākou i nā holomua holomua ma Iowa, Maine a i ʻole North Carolina a lanakila i hoʻokahi o kēlā mau noho. Akā he lōʻihi kēia i ʻelua mau makahiki inā e ʻae mākou iā Joe Biden e uhi ma hope o Mitch McConnell i nā koho koʻikoʻi, nā kulekele a me nā kānāwai. ʻO nā koho a ka kuhina mua o Biden e lilo i mea hoʻāʻo mua inā ʻo Biden ka insider hope loa a i ʻole makemake paha ia e kaua no nā hopena maoli i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi o ko mākou ʻāina. 

Panina

ʻO nā kūlana kuhina nui o US he mau kūlana o ka mana e hiki ke hoʻololi i ke ola o nā miliona o ʻAmelika a me nā piliona o ko mākou mau hoanoho i waho o ka ʻāina. Inā hoʻopuni ʻia ʻo Biden e ka poʻe e kūʻē ana i nā hōʻike āpau i nā makahiki he hala i hala aku nei, e manaʻoʻiʻo nei i ka hoʻoweliweli ʻole a me ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka pūʻali koa ma ke ʻano he kumu nui o ke kulekele ʻē aʻe o ʻAmelika, a laila ʻo ka laulima kūwaho e pono ai ka honua holoʻokoʻa e nā mea ʻehā. ʻoi aku nā makahiki o ke kaua, ka inaina a me nā haunaele o ka honua, a ʻo kā mākou mau pilikia koʻikoʻi e waiho ʻole ʻia. 

ʻO ia ke kumu e koi ikaika ai mākou i kahi kime e hoʻopau i ka normalization o ke kaua a hana i ka hana diplomatik i ke alualu ʻana i ka maluhia kūwaho a me ka launa pū ʻana me kā mākou helu ʻekahi politika nui.

ʻO ka mea i koho ʻia e Pelekikena Biden i koho ʻia e lilo i ʻāpana o kāna hui kulekele ʻē, ʻo ia-a ʻo lākou hoʻi - e hoʻokuʻi ʻia e ka poʻe ma ʻō aku o ka pā White House e noi ana i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa, e like me ka hōʻoki ʻana i ka hoʻolilo kālā ʻana o ka pūʻali koa, a no ka hoʻopukapuka hou ʻana i ka hoʻokele waiwai maluhia o ko mākou ʻāina hoʻomohala.

ʻO kā mākou hana ka mālama ʻana iā Pelekikena Biden a me kāna hui i ka wā a lākou e hoʻohuli ʻole ai i ka ʻaoʻao i ke kaua a me ka militarism, a me ka hoʻomau ʻana e hoʻokau iā lākou e kūkulu i nā pilina aloha me nā hoanoho āpau ma kēia honua liʻiliʻi a mākou e kaʻana nei.

ʻO Medea Benjamin ka puʻukū o ʻO CODEPINK fa i ʻole Peace, a me ka mea kākau o kekahi mau puke, me Ke Aupuni o ka Ponoʻole: Ma hope o ka hui US-Saudi a Ma loko o ʻIrani: ka Mōʻaukala maoli a me nā politika o ka Islamic Republic of Iran. ʻO Nicolas JS Davies he mea kākau moʻolelo kūʻokoʻa, he mea noiʻi me CODEPINK, a me ka mea kākau o ʻO ke koko i ko mākou mau lima: kaʻAhaʻAmelika a me ka Hahaʻi o Iraq.
