Kuphulika kwa bomba la Syria pa February 25 ku Syria nthawi yomweyo kumapangitsa kuti mfundo za oyang'anira kumene a Biden zithandizire. Nchifukwa chiyani oyang'anira awa akuphulitsa dziko lolamulira la Syria? Nchifukwa chiyani akuphulitsa "zigawenga zothandizidwa ndi Iran" zomwe sizowopsa ku United States ndipo zikuchita nawo nkhondo ya ISIS? Ngati izi zikufuna kupeza mwayi wochulukirapo ku Iran, bwanji oyang'anira a Biden sanachite zomwe adanena kuti achita: abwererenso mgwirizano wanyukiliya waku Iran ndikuwonjezera mikangano ku Middle East?
Malinga ndi Pentagon, kunyanyala kwa US kunali poyankha kuukira kwa rocket pa February 15 kumpoto kwa Iraq kuti anapha womanga kugwira ntchito ndi asitikali aku US ndikuvulaza wogwira ntchito ku US. Maakaunti a anthu omwe adaphedwa pomenyedwa ndi US amasiyana kuyambira 22 mpaka XNUMX.

Izi zinali woyeserera ndi boma la Syria, lomwe lidatsutsa kuwukira kosaloledwa kwa madera ake ndikunena kuti kunyanyalaku "kudzabweretsa zotsatirapo zomwe zithandizira kuti zinthu zizikhala mderali." Kunyanyalaku kunatsutsidwanso ndi maboma aku China ndi Russia. Membala wa Russia's Federation Council anachenjezedwa kuti kuchuluka kwa zinthu m'derali kungayambitse "mkangano waukulu".
Chodabwitsa ndichakuti, a Jen Psaki, omwe tsopano ndi mneneri wa Biden ku White House, adafunsa ngati zankhondo zaku Syria zikuchitika mu 2017, pomwe oyang'anira a Trump akuchita bomba. Kalelo iye anafunsa: “Kodi malamulo a kunyanyala ndi otani? Assad ndi wolamulira mwankhanza wankhanza. Koma Syria ndi dziko lodziyimira palokha. ”
Airstrikes amayenera kuti adaloledwa ndi 20 wazaka, pambuyo pa 9/11 Chilolezo Chogwiritsa Ntchito Gulu Lankhondo (AUMF), malamulo omwe a Rep. Barbara Lee akhala akuyesera kwazaka zambiri kuti achotse popeza adagwiritsidwa ntchito molakwika, malinga kwa a congresswoman, "kupereka chifukwa chomenyera nkhondo m'maiko osachepera asanu ndi awiri, motsutsana ndi mndandanda womwe ukupitilizabe wa adani omwe akuwatsata."
United States ikunena kuti kuwukira kwa asitikali aku Syria kutengera nzeru zomwe boma la Iraq limapereka. Mlembi wa Chitetezo Austin anauza olemba nkhani: "Tili ndi chidaliro kuti zigawengazi zimagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi asitikali omwewo achi Shia omwe akuchita kunyanyala [motsutsana ndi US ndi magulu ankhondo]."

Chotupa cha kuwukira kumeneku ku US kwa asitikali aku Iraq omwe amathandizidwa ndi Irani, omwe ndi gawo limodzi lankhondo laku Iraq komanso omwe atenga gawo lofunikira pankhondo ndi ISIS, adavomerezedwa mu lingaliro la US kuti awaukire ku Syria m'malo mwa Iraq. Kodi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, pro-Western Britain-Iraqi, yemwe akuyesera kulowetsa gulu lankhondo lachi Shiite lochirikizidwa ndi Iran, akukana chilolezo chakuukira kwa US kudera la Iraq?
Pempho la Kadhimi, NATO ikuwonjezera kupezeka kwake kuchokera pagulu la 500 kufika pa 4,000 (kuchokera ku Denmark, UK ndi Turkey, osati US) kuti aphunzitse asitikali aku Iraq ndikuchepetsa kudalira kwawo ankhondo omwe amathandizidwa ndi Iran. Koma Kadhimi ali pachiwopsezo chotaya ntchito pachisankho mu Okutobala lino ngati atenga ambiri achi Shiite aku Iraq.

Ofufuza ena akuti kuphulika kwa bomba kuyenera kuti cholinga chake chinali kulimbikitsa dzanja la US pokambirana ndi Iran pankhani yanyukiliya (JCPOA). "Kunyanyala ntchito, momwe ndimaonera, cholinga chake chinali kuyambitsa kulumikizana ndi Tehran ndikuchepetsa kukhulupirika kwawo zisanachitike zokambirana," anati Bilal Saab, yemwe kale anali wogwira ntchito ku Pentagon yemwe pano ndi wamkulu ku Middle East Institute.
Koma kuukiraku kukhale kovuta kwambiri kuyambiranso zokambirana ndi Iran. Ikubwera panthawi yovuta pomwe azungu akuyesera kupanga njira "yotsata kutsatira" kuti ayambitsenso JCPOA. Izi zapangitsa kuti zokambirana zizikhala zovuta, chifukwa zimapatsa mphamvu magulu a Iran omwe akutsutsana ndi mgwirizanowu komanso zokambirana zilizonse ndi United States.
Kuwonetsa kuthandizira kwamayiko awiri omwe akuukira mayiko olamulira, ma Republican ofunikira m'makomiti azachuma monga Senator Marco Rubio ndi Rep. Michael McCaul nthawi yomweyo analandiridwa kuukira. Momwemonso othandizira ena a Biden, omwe adawonetsa mopanda tsankho kuti akuphulitsa bomba ndi Purezidenti wa Democratic.
Wokonza phwando Amy Siskind adalemba: "Zosiyanasiyana pomenya nkhondo pansi pa Biden. Palibe ziwopsezo zakusukulu yapakati pa Twitter. Trust Biden ndi luso la timu yake. ” Wothandizira Biden a Suzanne Lamminen adalemba kuti: "Kuukira kwamtendere. Palibe sewero, palibe TV yonena za bomba lomwe likumenya zigoli, palibe ndemanga momwe Purezidenti Biden alili. Ndizosiyana bwanji. ”
Mwamwayi, mamembala ena a Congress akulankhula motsutsana ndi ziwonetserozi. "Sitingayimire chilolezo cha DRM asanamenye nkhondo pokhapokha ngati kuli Purezidenti wa Republican," a Congressman Ro Khanna adalemba, "Akuluakulu akuyenera kuti apemphe chilolezo ku DRM pano. Tiyenera kugwira ntchito kuti titulutse ku Middle East, osakulira. " Magulu amtendere mdziko lonselo akutsatira pempholi. Rep. Barbara Lee ndi Senators Bernie Sanders, Tim Kaine ndi Chris Murphy adatulutsanso ziganizo zokayikira kapena zodzudzula ziwonetserozo.
Anthu aku America akuyenera kukumbutsa Purezidenti Biden kuti adalonjeza kuti adzaika patsogolo zokambirana pazankhondo ngati chida choyambirira cha mfundo zake zakunja. Biden ayenera kuzindikira kuti njira yabwino kwambiri yotetezera ogwira ntchito ku US ndikuwachotsa ku Middle East. Ayenera kukumbukira kuti Nyumba Yamalamulo yaku Iraq idavota chaka chatha kuti asitikali aku US achoke m'dziko lawo. Ayeneranso kuzindikira kuti asitikali aku US alibe ufulu wokhala ku Syria, akadali "kuteteza mafuta," molamulidwa ndi a Donald Trump.
Atalephera kuyika zokambirana patsogolo ndikubwerera ku mgwirizano wanyukiliya waku Iran, Biden tsopano, atangotsala ndi mwezi umodzi asanakhale purezidenti, wabwereranso pakugwiritsa ntchito gulu lankhondo mdera lomwe lasokonekera kale chifukwa cha nkhondo zankhondo zaku US. Izi sizomwe adalonjeza mu kampeni yake ndipo sizomwe anthu aku America adavotera.
