Pogwira ntchito zokayikitsa, gulu lomwe lili pafupi ndi wamkulu wankhondo wa NATO a Philip Breedlove adayesetsa kupeza zida zankhondo ku Ukraine, maimelo omwe angotulutsidwa kumene adawululidwa. Zoyesayesazo zidathandizira kukulitsa mkangano pakati pa West ndi Russia.
n payekha, mkulu wa asilikali amakonda kuvala zikopa. Philip Mark Breedlove, 60, ndi wotchuka wotchuka wa Harley-Davidson, ndipo mpaka masabata angapo apitawo, adatumikiranso monga mkulu wa asilikali a NATO ndi America ku Ulaya. Ngakhale panthawi yomwe anali mtsogoleri wa asilikali a mgwirizanowu, mkulu wa asilikali a nyenyezi zinayi aku America amagulitsa yunifolomu ya Air Force ya blue ndi zida za njinga zamoto ndikufufuza misewu ya ku Ulaya ndi anzake.
Zithunzi zikuwonetsa mwamuna wokhala ndi mapewa otakata, kuyendayenda kwakukulu komanso kumwetulira kokulirapo. Zithunzi za maulendo a njinga zamoto za mkuluyo zidalengezedwa posachedwa pa nsanja yapaintaneti ya DC Leaks. Kudziletsa, zikuwoneka, sikunali chinthu cha Breedlove.
Zithunzizi ndi gawo losangalatsa la mndandanda wamakalata achinsinsi a Breedlove. Ambiri mwa maimelo a 1,096 omwe adabedwa adachokera ku miyezi 12 yavuto la Ukraine pambuyo poti Russia idalanda Crimea mu Marichi 2014. Anthu zikwizikwi adamwalira pankhondo yomwe idachitika pakati pa asitikali aku Kiev ndi olekanitsa ogwirizana ndi Moscow. Anthu wamba oposa 2 miliyoni anathaŵa kum’maŵa kwa Ukraine.
Russia imathandizira odzipatula ndi zida, omenyera nkhondo ndi alangizi. Anthu atayamba kuyitanitsa Washington kuti ilowererenso kwambiri mu 2015, mkangano waku Ukraine udakhala pachiwopsezo cha nkhondo pakati pa Kum'mawa ndi Kumadzulo.
Nkhawa Yoyambirira
Maimelo omwe angotulutsidwa kumene akuwonetsa gulu lachinsinsi la oukira aku Western mozungulira mkulu wankhondo wa NATO, yemwe kupezeka kwake kunayambitsa mikangano ku Ukraine. Othandizira ambiri omwe adapezeka m'mawu owopsa a Breedlove okhudza mayendedwe akulu ankhondo aku Russia omwe amadetsa nkhawa kwambiri. Kumayambiriro kwa chaka chino, wamkuluyo adatsimikizira dziko lonse kuti US European Command "ikulepheretsa Russia tsopano ndikukonzekera kumenya nkhondo ndikupambana ngati kuli kofunikira."
Maimelo amalemba kwa nthawi yoyamba magwero okayikitsa omwe Breedlove amapeza chidziwitso chake. Anakokomeza zochitika za ku Russia kum'mawa kwa Ukraine ndi cholinga chofuna kukapereka zida ku Kiev.
General ndi anzake omwe amafanana nawo adawona Purezidenti wa US Barack Obama, wamkulu wa magulu onse ankhondo aku America, komanso Chancellor waku Germany Angela Merkel ngati zopinga. Obama ndi Merkel anali "osazindikira pazandale komanso osapindulitsa" pakuyitanitsa kwawo kuti achepe, malinga ndi a Phillip Karber, wamkulu pagulu la Breedlove yemwe anali kudyetsa zidziwitso kuchokera ku Ukraine kupita kwa wamba.
"Ndikuganiza kuti POTUS amationa ngati chiwopsezo chomwe chiyenera kuchepetsedwa, ... mwachitsanzo, osandilowetsa kunkhondo ????" Breedlove analemba mu imelo imodzi, pogwiritsa ntchito chidule cha pulezidenti wa United States. Kodi Obama angakakamizidwe bwanji kuti ayambe "kuchita nawo" mkangano ku Ukraine - werengani: kupereka zida - Breedlove adafunsa mlembi wakale wa boma Colin Powell.
Breedlove adafunafuna upangiri kwa anthu ena otchuka, maimelo ake amawonetsa. Ena mwa iwo anali Wesley Clark, yemwe anali mtsogoleri wa Breedlove ku NATO, Victoria Nuland, wothandizira mlembi wa boma ku European and Eurasian Affairs ku State Department, ndi Geoffrey Pyatt, kazembe wa US ku Kiev.
Dzina limodzi lomwe linkadziwikabe ndi Phillip Karber, pulofesa wothandizira pa yunivesite ya Georgetown ku Washington DC komanso pulezidenti wa Potomac Foundation, gulu loganiza bwino lomwe linakhazikitsidwa ndi BDM. Mwa akaunti yake, maziko athandiza mayiko akum'mawa kwa Europe kukonzekera kulowa kwawo ku NATO. Tsopano nyumba yamalamulo yaku Ukraine ndi boma ku Kiev anali kupempha thandizo ku Karber.
Njira Zodabwitsa
Pa February 16, 2015, pamene vuto la Ukraine litafika pachimake, Karber analemba imelo kwa Breedlove, Clark, Pyatt ndi Rose Gottemoeller, mlembi wa pansi pa ulamuliro wa zida ndi chitetezo cha mayiko ku Dipatimenti ya Boma, omwe adzasamukira ku Brussels izi. kugwa kuti atenge udindo wa Deputy Secretary General wa NATO. Karber anali ku Warsaw, ndipo adanena kuti adapeza njira zowonongeka kuti atenge zida ku Ukraine - popanda US kukhudzidwa mwachindunji.
Malinga ndi imeloyo, Pakistan idapereka, "pansi pa tebulo," kugulitsa zida zonyamula za TOW-II zaku Ukraine 500 ndi mizinga 8,000 TOW-II. Kutumiza kungayambe mkati mwa milungu iwiri. Ngakhale a Poles anali okonzeka kuyamba kutumiza "akasinja osungidwa bwino a T-72, kuphatikiza mazana angapo amfuti za SP 122mm, ndi SP-122 howitzers (pamodzi ndi zida zankhondo zambiri za onse awiri)" zomwe zidatsalira mu nthawi ya Soviet. Zogulitsazo sizingadziwike, adatero Karber, chifukwa zida zakale za Poland "zinali zosadziwika bwino ndi za Ukraine."
Karber adanenanso kuti Pakistan ndi Poland sizingabweretse katundu popanda chilolezo cha US. Kuphatikiza apo, Warsaw ingakhale yokonzeka kuthandiza ngati zotengera zake ku Kiev zidasinthidwa ndi zida zatsopano, zapamwamba kwambiri zochokera ku NATO.
Karber anamaliza kalata yake ndi chenjezo lakuti: “Nthawi yatha. Popanda thandizo lachangu, gulu lankhondo la ku Ukraine "litha kukumana ndi chiyembekezo choti litha m'masiku 30."
"Stark," Breedlove anayankha. "Ndikhoza kugawana nawo zina mwa izi koma ndipukuta bwino zala."
M'mwezi wa Marichi, Karber adapitanso ku Warsaw kuti, monga adauza Breedlove, akambirane ndi mamembala otsogola a chipani cholamula, pakufunika "kupereka mwakachetechete arty"ed: zida) ndi zida zankhondo zaku Ukraine."
Zomwe zidakwiyitsa Breedlove, Clark ndi Karber, palibe chomwe chidachitika. Amene anachititsa anazindikiridwa mwamsanga. Bungwe la National Security Council, alangizi a Obama, anali "kuchedwetsa zinthu," Karber anadandaula. Clark analoza chala chake ku White House, akulemba kuti, "Vuto lathu ndi lalikulu kuposa State," ponena za dipatimenti ya boma.
Zowoneka ku Germany
Breedlove ndi anzake omwe adachita nawo kampeni nawonso anali ndi boma la Germany m'malo mwake. Mu Epulo 2014, Clark adatumiza makalata kwa Nuland ndi Breedlove ndikulemba kuti Purezidenti waku Bulgaria Rosen Plevneliev adanenanso kuti pali "vuto lamalingaliro aku Germany" okhudza "gawo lachikoka."
Zoyesayesa za Merkel ndi nduna yakunja yaku Germany a Frank-Walter Steinmeier kuti apeze yankho lamtendere pavuto la Ukraine zidawonetsedwa ndi olimba mtima ngati okonzeka ku Berlin kulola Russia kuzunza Ukraine.
Pofuna kulimbikitsa zida zothandizira zida zomwe akufuna, Clark ndi Karber adayamba kujambula zinthu zoyipa. Ngati mayiko a Kumadzulo akanasiya Ukraine, yemwe kale anali Mtsogoleri Wogwirizana ndi NATO ku Ulaya Clark analosera, dziko la China likanalimbikitsidwa kukulitsa mphamvu zake ku Pacific. Zitha kuyambitsanso kugwa kwa NATO. Mkhalidwewo ukhoza kupewedwa ndi thandizo lankhondo, iwo anatsutsa. Pa November 8, 2014 Clark adawomba alamu mkati pambuyo pokambirana ndi Purezidenti wa Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, alangizi ake ndi akuluakulu akuluakulu a asilikali ndi anzeru. Anthu aku Ukraine anali kuyembekezera kuukira kumapeto kwa mweziwo.
Breedlove adayankha, "Ndiyang'ana kwambiri izi nthawi yomweyo." Iye analembanso kuti, “Limodzi mwavuto lathu lalikulu” ndi loti m’modzi wa ogwirizana ndi United States wakhala akukana zimene anapeza za nzeru zake. Ndemangayi idalunjikitsidwa ndi bungwe lazanzeru zaku Germany la BND lakunja, lomwe lidasungidwa kwambiri pakuwunika momwe zinthu ziliri - malingaliro omwe m'mbuyo angatsimikizire.
'Kutsogolo Kuli Ponse Ponse'
Maimelo a Karber nthawi zonse amamveka ngati kuti apocalypse anali atatsala pang'ono kutha. "Kutsogolo kuli ponseponse," adauza Breedlove mu imelo kumayambiriro kwa chaka cha 2015, ndikuwonjezera kuti nthumwi zaku Russia ndi ma proxies awo "ayamba kuyambitsa zigawenga zingapo, kupha, kuba anthu komanso kuphulitsa bomba," poyesa kusokoneza. Kiev ndi mizinda ina Chiyukireniya.
Mu imelo yopita kwa Breedlove, Clark adafotokoza katswiri wa chitetezo Karber ngati "wanzeru." Pambuyo paulendo woyamba, Breedlove adawonetsanso kuti adachita chidwi. “KUCHEZA KWABWINO,” iye analemba motero. Karber, munthu wochita chidwi kwambiri, poyamba ankawoneka ngati wodziwa zambiri chifukwa nthawi zambiri - maulendo khumi ndi awiri ndi akaunti yake - ankapita kutsogolo ndikuyankhula ndi akuluakulu a ku Ukraine. Kazembe wa US ku Kiev adadaliranso Karber kuti adziwe zambiri chifukwa analibe magwero ake. "Kwambiri ndife akhungu," woimira kazembeyo adalemba mu imelo.
Nthawi zina, zolakwika za Karber zimawerengedwa ngati prose. M'modzi, adalemba za zikondwerero za Khrisimasi za 2014 zomwe adakhala limodzi ndi Dnipro-1, gulu lankhondo lodzipereka la ultranationalist. "Ma toast ndi vodka ikuyenda, azimayi amaimba nyimbo ya fuko la Ukraine - palibe amene ali ndi diso louma."
Karber anali ndi zabwino zokhazokha zonena za gululi, lomwe linali litatsutsidwa kale ngati gulu lankhondo la oligarch. Iye analemba kuti ogwira ntchito ndi odzipereka anali olamulidwa ndi anthu apakati komanso kuti panali antchito akuluakulu omwe "akugwira ntchito pa tchuthi." Breedlove adayankha kuti zidziwitso izi "zikupeza njira zawo mwakachetechete kumalo oyenera."
Chithunzi Chotsutsana Kwambiri
M'malo mwake, Karber ndi munthu wotsutsana kwambiri. M'zaka za m'ma 1980, wogwira ntchito ku BDM kwa nthawi yayitali, adawerengedwa m'gulu la akapolo owopsa kwambiri a Cold War. Kalelo mu 1985, adachenjeza za kuukira kwa Soviet komwe kukubwera chifukwa cha zikalata zomwe adamasulira molakwika.
Adachitanso zolakwika pamavuto aku Ukraine atatumiza zithunzi kwa Senator wa US James Inhofe, ponena kuti akuwonetsa mayunitsi aku Russia ku Ukraine. Inhofe adatulutsa zithunzizo poyera, koma zidadziwika kuti imodzi idachokera kunkhondo ya 2008 ku Georgia.
Pofika pa Novembara 10, 2014, posachedwa, Breedlove ayenera kuti adazindikira kuti womudziwitsayo anali pa ayezi woonda. Ndipamene Karber adanena kuti odzipatulawo akudzitamandira kuti ali ndi zida zanyukiliya zanzeru za matope a 2S4. Karber mwiniyo adalongosola kuti nkhaniyi ndi "zodabwitsa," koma adanenanso kuti "pali zinthu zambiri 'zopenga' zomwe zikuchitika" ku Ukraine.
Zifukwa zomwe Breedlove adapitilizabe kudalira Karber ngakhale malipoti abodzawa sakudziwika. Kodi anali wokonzeka kulipira mtengo uliwonse wobweretsa zida? Kapena anali ndi zolinga zina? Maimelo akuwonetsa momwe Breedlove ndi anzake omwe adachita nawo kampeni amawopa kuti Congress ikhoza kuchepetsa chiwerengero cha asilikali a US ku Ulaya.
Karber adatsimikizira zowona zamakalata omwe adatulutsidwa. Ponena za mafunso okhudza kulondola kwa malipoti ake, adauza SPIEGEL kuti, "monga chidziwitso chilichonse chochokera kutsogolo pa 'chifunga chankhondo,' ndi chocheperako, chotengera nthawi, ndipo chimazindikirika ndi momwe munthu amaonera." Pokumbukira ubwino woganizira zam’mbuyo komanso kuona zinthu bwinobwino, “Ndimakhulupirira kuti ndinali wolondola kuposa zolakwika,” akutero Karber, “komatu sindinali wangwiro.” Iye ananenanso kuti: “M’masiku 170 tili kunkhondo, sindinakumanepo ndi msilikali wa ku Germany kapena mkulu wa boma akuyang’ana mwachindunji nkhondoyo.”
Chidwi chachikulu ku Berlin
Maimelo omwe adatulutsidwa ndi Breedlove adawerengedwa ku Berlin ndi chidwi chachikulu. Chaka chapitacho, mawu a "zabodza zowopsa" za mkulu wa NATO anali kufalikira kuzungulira Merkel's Chancellery. Potengera chidziwitso chatsopanochi, akuluakulu adawona kuti ndi ovomerezeka pakuwunika kwawo. Ofesi ya Federal Foreign Foreign Office ya ku Germany nayonso yanenanso maganizo ofanana ndi amenewa, ponena kuti mwamwayi “anthu otchuka anapitirizabe kulimbikitsa anthu kuti asapereke ‘zida zoopsa.’”
Karber akuti akuwona kuti "ndizonyansa kuti chilango chothandiza kwambiri pa nkhondoyi si malire a zachuma omwe aikidwa ku Russia, koma chiletso chokwanira cha chithandizo chonse chakupha kwa wozunzidwayo. Ndikuwona kuti uku ndiko kutalika kwaukadaulo - ngati mkazi akuwukiridwa ndi gulu la zigawenga ndikufuula kwa gulu la anthu kapena odutsa, 'Ndipatseni chitini cha mace,' kuli bwino kusapereka chifukwa owukirawo atha. kukhala ndi mpeni ndikungoyang'ana akugwiriridwa?"
Kuchoka kwa General Breedlove paudindo wake wa NATO mu Meyi sikunachite pang'ono kuyika aliyense m'boma la Germany. Kupatula apo, bambo Breedlove amamuona ngati chopinga, Purezidenti Obama, akuyandikira kumapeto kwa nthawi yake yachiwiri. Wolowa m'malo mwake, Democrat Hillary Clinton, amaonedwa kuti ndi wovuta kwambiri ndi Russia.
Zowonjezerapo: Nuland, kazembe yemwe ali ndi malingaliro ofanana ndi Breedlove, atha kukhala ndi gawo lofunikira kwambiri pambuyo pa chisankho cha Novembala - amatengedwa ngati mlembi wa boma.
