Pa Marichi 11, 2022, Purezidenti Biden ndalimbikitsidwa anthu aku America ndi dziko lonse lapansi kuti United States ndi ogwirizana nawo a NATO sanali pankhondo ndi Russia. "Sitidzamenya nkhondo ndi Russia ku Ukraine," adatero Biden. "Mkangano wachindunji pakati pa NATO ndi Russia ndi Nkhondo Yachitatu Yapadziko Lonse, zomwe tiyenera kuyesetsa kupewa."
Zimavomerezedwa kuti akuluakulu aku US ndi NATO ali pano kukhudzidwa kwathunthu mu kukonzekera nkhondo Ukraine ntchito, mothandizidwa ndi osiyanasiyana US kusonkhanitsa nzeru ndikuwunika kugwiritsa ntchito ziwopsezo zankhondo zaku Russia, pomwe asitikali aku Ukraine ali ndi zida za US ndi NATO ndipo amaphunzitsidwa molingana ndi mayiko ena a NATO.

Pa Okutobala 5, Nikolay Patrushev, wamkulu wa Security Council ya Russia, adziwa kuti Russia tsopano ikulimbana ndi NATO ku Ukraine. Pakadali pano, Purezidenti Putin akumbutsa dziko lonse lapansi kuti dziko la Russia lili ndi zida za nyukiliya ndipo ndi wokonzeka kuzigwiritsa ntchito “pamene dzikolo likhala pachiwopsezo,” monga momwe idanenera mu June 2020 chiphunzitso cha zida za nyukiliya ku Russia.

Zikuwoneka kuti, pansi pa chiphunzitsochi, atsogoleri aku Russia angatanthauzire kutaya nkhondo ku United States ndi NATO pamalire awo ngati kukumana ndi malire ogwiritsira ntchito zida zanyukiliya.

Purezidenti Biden adavomereza pa Okutobala 6 kuti a Putin "sachita nthabwala" komanso kuti zingakhale zovuta kuti Russia igwiritse ntchito chida chanyukiliya "chochenjera" "osati kutha ndi Armagedo." Biden adawunika kuopsa kwapang'onopang'ono nkhondo yankhondo Zokwera kwambiri kuposa nthawi ina iliyonse kuyambira vuto la missile la Cuba mu 1962.

Komabe ngakhale anena kuti zitha kukhala zowopseza kupulumuka kwathu, Biden sanali kupereka chenjezo kwa anthu aku America ndi dziko lonse lapansi, kapena kulengeza kusintha kulikonse mu mfundo zaku US. Chodabwitsa, Purezidenti m'malo mwake amakambilana za chiyembekezo cha nkhondo ya nyukiliya ndi othandizira azachuma achipani chake panthawi yopangira zisankho kunyumba ya atolankhani mogul James Murdoch, atolankhani amakanema odabwa akumvetsera.

mu Ripoti la NPR ponena za ngozi ya nkhondo ya nyukiliya ku Ukraine, Matthew Bunn, katswiri wa zida za nyukiliya pa yunivesite ya Harvard, anayerekezera mwayi wa Russia kugwiritsira ntchito chida cha nyukiliya pa 10 mpaka 20 peresenti.

Tachoka bwanji kuchoka ku US ndi NATO kutenga nawo mbali pankhondo kupita ku US kuchita nawo mbali zonse zankhondo kupatula kutaya magazi ndi kufa, ndikuyerekeza kuti 10 ku 20 peresenti ya nkhondo yanyukiliya? Bunn adapanga izi kutangotsala pang'ono kuwonongedwa kwa Kerch Strait Bridge kupita ku Crimea. Ndizovuta ziti zomwe angapange miyezi ingapo kuchokera pano ngati mbali zonse zikugwirizana ndi kukwerana kwina ndi kukwera kwina?

Vuto losathetsedwa lomwe atsogoleri aku Western akukumana nalo ndikuti izi sizingapambane. Kodi angagonjetse bwanji Russia pankhondo, pomwe ili ndi 6,000 zida za nyukiliya ndipo chiphunzitso chake chankhondo chimanena momveka bwino kuti chidzawagwiritsa ntchito asanavomereze kugonja komwe kulipo?

Ndipo izi ndi zomwe kulimbikitsa ntchito yaku Western ku Ukraine tsopano ikufuna kukwaniritsa. Izi zimasiya mfundo za US ndi NATO, motero kukhala kwathu komweko, kutsatiridwa ndi ulusi wochepa thupi: chiyembekezo chakuti Putin akupusitsa, ngakhale machenjezo omveka bwino kuti sali. Mtsogoleri wa CIA William Burns, Mtsogoleri wa National Intelligence Avril Zilipo ndi mkulu wa DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), Lieutenant General Scott Berrier, onse achenjeza kuti tisamaone ngozi imeneyi mopepuka.

Kuopsa kwa kukwera kosalekeza ku Armagedo ndi zomwe mbali zonse zidakumana nazo mu Cold War, ndichifukwa chake, pambuyo pa kudzutsidwa kwa vuto la mizinga yaku Cuba mu 1962, kutsekeka kowopsa kunapereka njira ku dongosolo la mapangano owongolera zida za nyukiliya ndi njira zotetezera. kuti aletse nkhondo zoyeserera komanso mgwirizano wankhondo womwe ukufalikira munkhondo yanyukiliya yothetsa dziko lapansi. Ngakhale chitetezo chimenecho chinalipo, panalibe mafoni ambiri apamtima - koma popanda iwo, mwina sitingakhale pano kuti tilembe za izi.

Masiku ano, zinthu zikuipiraipira chifukwa cha kuthetsedwa kwa mapangano a zida za nyukiliyawo ndi chitetezo. Zimakulitsidwanso, kaya mbali iliyonse ikufuna kapena ayi, ndi khumi ndi awiri kwa wani Kusagwirizana pakati pa ndalama zankhondo zaku US ndi Russia, zomwe zimasiya Russia kukhala ndi njira zochepa zankhondo wamba komanso kudalira kwambiri zida zanyukiliya.

Koma nthawi zonse pakhala pali njira zina zopititsira patsogolo nkhondoyi ndi mbali zonse zomwe zatifikitsa pa izi. Mu April, Akuluakulu akumadzulo adachitapo kanthu pomwe adanyengerera Purezidenti Zelenskyy kuti asiye zokambirana za Turkey ndi Israeli ndi Russia zomwe zidabweretsa chiyembekezo. 15-mfundo chimango pofuna kuthetsa nkhondo, kuchotsedwa kwa Russia ndi tsogolo losalowerera ndale ku Ukraine.

Mgwirizanowu ukadafuna kuti mayiko aku Western apereke zitsimikiziro zachitetezo ku Ukraine, koma adakana kukhala nawo m'malo mwake adalonjeza thandizo lankhondo la Ukraine pankhondo yayitali kuyesa kugonjetsa Russia ndikubwezeretsanso gawo lonse lomwe Ukraine idataya kuyambira 2014.

Mlembi wa Chitetezo ku US Austin adalengeza kuti cholinga cha Kumadzulo pankhondoyo chinali tsopano "Kufooketsa" Russia mpaka kuti silidzakhalanso ndi mphamvu zankhondo zoukiranso Ukraine. Koma ngati dziko la United States ndi mayiko ogwirizana naye akanafika pafupi kuti akwaniritse cholinga chimenecho, dziko la Russia likanaonadi kugonja kotheratu kwa asilikali monga “kuika dzikoli pachiwopsezo,” n’kuyamba kugwiritsira ntchito zida za nyukiliya mogwirizana ndi chiphunzitso chake cha nyukiliya. .

Pa Meyi 23rd, tsiku lomwe Congress idapereka ndalama zokwana madola 40 biliyoni ku Ukraine, kuphatikiza $ 24 biliyoni pakugwiritsa ntchito zida zatsopano zankhondo, zosemphana ndi zoopsa za ndondomeko yankhondo yatsopano ya US-NATO ku Ukraine pamapeto pake zidalimbikitsa kuyankha koopsa kuchokera ku New York Times. Editorial Board. A Zolemba za Times, yomwe ili ndi mutu wakuti “Nkhondo ya ku Ukraine Ikuyamba Kusokonekera, Ndipo America Sali Wokonzeka,” inafunsa mafunso ofunika kwambiri okhudza mfundo yatsopano ya US:

"Mwachitsanzo, kodi United States ikuyesera kuthetsa mkanganowu, kudzera mumgwirizano womwe ungalole kuti dziko la Ukraine likhale lodziimira komanso ubale wamtundu wina pakati pa United States ndi Russia? Kapena kodi United States tsopano ikuyesera kufooketsa Russia mpaka kalekale? Kodi cholinga cha olamulira chasintha ndikusokoneza Putin kapena kumuchotsa? Kodi United States ikufuna kuti a Putin aziyankha mlandu ngati chigawenga pankhondo? Kapena cholinga chake ndi kuyesa kupewa nkhondo yayikulu…? Popanda kumveka bwino pa mafunso awa, White House ...

Akonzi a NYT adapitiliza kunena zomwe ambiri aganiza koma ochepa adalimba mtima kunena m'malo ofalitsa ndale, kuti cholinga chobwezeretsanso gawo lonse la Ukraine latayika kuyambira 2014 sizowona, ndikuti nkhondo yochita izi " kuwononga dziko la Ukraine.” Adapempha a Biden kuti alankhule moona mtima ndi Zelenskyy za "kuwononga kochulukira kwa Ukraine kungachiritse" komanso "malire akutali komwe United States ndi NATO zidzakumana ndi Russia."

Patatha sabata imodzi, Biden anayankha kuti The Times in Op-Ed yotchedwa "Zomwe America Adzachite ndi Sadzachita ku Ukraine." Anagwira mawu Zelenskyy akunena kuti nkhondoyo "idzatha motsimikizirika kupyolera mu zokambirana," ndipo analemba kuti United States inali kutumiza zida ndi zida kuti dziko la Ukraine "lithe kumenyana pabwalo lankhondo ndikukhala pamalo amphamvu kwambiri pagome lokambirana."

Biden adalemba kuti, "Sitikufuna nkhondo pakati pa NATO ndi Russia…. United States sidzayesa kutulutsa [Putin] ku Moscow." Koma adapitiliza kulonjeza thandizo la US lopanda malire ku Ukraine, ndipo sanayankhe mafunso ovuta kwambiri omwe Times idafunsa okhudza mathero a US ku Ukraine, malire akutenga nawo mbali kwa US kunkhondo kapena momwe Ukraine ingapitirire.

Pamene nkhondo ikukulirakulira ndipo ngozi ya nkhondo ya nyukiliya ikuwonjezereka, mafunso ameneŵa sakuyankhidwa. Kuyitanitsa kutha kwankhondo mwachangu kunamveka kuzungulira UN General Assembly ku New York mu Seputembala, komwe Maiko a 66, akuimira anthu ambiri padziko lapansi, anapempha mwachangu mbali zonse kuti ayambitsenso kukambirana za mtendere.

Choopsa chachikulu chomwe timakumana nacho ndikuti mafoni awo adzanyalanyazidwa, komanso kuti magulu ankhondo aku US omwe amalipidwa mopitilira muyeso apitilizabe kupeza njira zopititsira patsogolo kukakamiza kwa Russia, kuyitcha kupusa ndikunyalanyaza "mizere yofiyira" monga adachitira kuyambira pamenepo. 1991, mpaka iwo adawoloka "mzere wofiira" wovuta kwambiri kuposa onse.

Ngati kuyitanitsa mtendere padziko lonse lapansi kumveka kusanachedwe ndipo titha kupulumuka vutoli, United States ndi Russia ziyenera kukonzanso zomwe adalonjeza pakuwongolera zida ndi zida za nyukiliya, ndikukambirana momwe iwo ndi mayiko ena okhala ndi zida za nyukiliya. adzawononga zida zawo zowononga kwambiri ndikuvomera Mgwirizano chifukwa cha Kuletsa Zida za Nyukiliya, kuti potsirizira pake tithe kukweza chiwopsezo chosalingalirika ichi ndi chosavomerezeka cholendewera pamitu yathu.
