Wolemba Medea Benjamin ndi Nicolas JS Davies, Ogasiti 29, 2020
Pasanathe chaka kuchokera pamene United States ndi United States yothandizidwa ndi Organisation of American States (OAS) adathandizira gulu lankhondo lachiwawa kuti lilande boma la Bolivia, anthu aku Bolivia asinthanso Movement for Socialism (MAS) ndi anabwezeretsa ku mphamvu.
M'mbiri yakale ya "kusintha kwamalamulo" kothandizidwa ndi US m'maiko padziko lonse lapansi, sikungakhale ndi anthu komanso dziko lokanitsitsa mwamphamvu komanso mwa demokalase kukana kuyesayesa kwa US kulamula momwe adzalamulire. Purezidenti wanyumba atapitako pambuyo pake a Jeanine Añez akuti adapempha Ma visa 350 aku US kwa iyemwini komanso kwa ena omwe angazunzidwe ku Bolivia pazomwe akuchita.
Nkhani ya a Chisankho chaboma mu 2019 kuti US ndi OAS omwe adalimbikitsidwa kuti athandizire chiwembuchi ku Bolivia adasokonezedwa. Thandizo la MAS limachokera makamaka kwa anthu akomweko aku Bolivia akumidzi, chifukwa chake zimatenga nthawi yayitali kuti mavoti awo asonkhanitsidwe ndikuwerengedwa kuposa omwe amakhala kumzinda wokhala bwino omwe amathandizira mapiko akumanja akumanja, otsutsa a neoliberal.
Momwe mavoti amabwera kuchokera kumidzi, pali kusintha kwa MAS pakuwerengera mavoti. Poyerekeza kuti izi zodziwika bwino pazotsatira za chisankho ku Bolivia zinali umboni wachinyengo cha chisankho mu 2019, OAS ili ndi udindo wofafaniza zachiwawa kwa omenyera ufulu wa MAS omwe, pamapeto pake, adangopereka OAS yokha.
Ndizophunzitsa kuti kulanda boma komwe kudalephera ku United States ku Bolivia kwadzetsa zotsatirapo za demokalase kuposa kusintha kwamachitidwe aku US komwe kudakwanitsa kuchotsa boma kumphamvu. Zokambirana zapakhomo pamalingaliro akunja aku US nthawi zambiri zimangoganiza kuti US ili ndi ufulu, kapena ngakhale udindo, kugwiritsa ntchito zida zankhondo, zachuma komanso zandale kukakamiza kusintha ndale m'maiko omwe amatsutsana ndi zomwe akulamulidwa ndi mfumu.
Mwakutero, izi zikutanthauza nkhondo yankhondo yayikulu (monga ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan), coup d'etat (monga ku Haiti ku 2004, Honduras ku 2009 ndi Ukraine ku 2014), nkhondo zobisalira komanso zoyimira (monga ku Somalia, Libya, Syria ndi Yemen) kapena kulanga zoletsedwa zachuma (monga motsutsana ndi Cuba, Iran ndi Venezuela) - zonse zomwe zimaphwanya ufulu wa mayiko omwe akuwatsata ndipo ndizosaloledwa ndi malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi.
Zilibe kanthu kuti ndi chida chiti chomwe boma lasinthira ku United States, kulowererapo kwa US sikunapangitse moyo kukhala wabwino kwa anthu amayiko aliwonse, kapena ena ambiri m'mbuyomu. Wanzeru kwambiri wa William Blum Buku la 1995, Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Kuyambira pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse, ma katalogi 55 aku US asintha magwiridwe antchito mzaka 50 pakati pa 1945 ndi 1995. Monga momwe mbiri yonse ya Blum ikufotokozera, zambiri mwa izi zimakhudza zoyesayesa za US kuchotsa maboma omwe amasankhidwa pamphamvu, monga ku Bolivia, ndipo nthawi zambiri amalowa m'malo mwa maulamuliro ankhanza aku US: monga Shah waku Iran; Mobutu ku Congo; Suharto ku Indonesia; ndi General Pinochet ku Chile.
Ngakhale boma lomwe likulimbana nalo ndi lachiwawa, lopondereza, kulowererapo kwa US nthawi zambiri kumabweretsa ziwawa zazikulu. Zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi zinayi atachotsa boma la Taliban ku Afghanistan, United States yatsika Mabomba 80,000 ndi mfuti za omenyera nkhondo aku Afghanistan ndi anthu wamba, adayendetsa zikwizikwi za "kupha kapena kugwira”Usiku, ndipo nkhondo yapha mazana zikwi a Afghans.
Mu Disembala 2019, Washington Post idasindikiza trove ya Zolemba za Pentagon kuwulula kuti palibe zachiwawa izi zomwe zakhazikitsidwa pamalingaliro enieni obweretsa mtendere kapena bata ku Afghanistan - zonse ndi mtundu wankhanza wa "kudumpha pamodzi, ”Malinga ndi kunena kwa U.S. General McChrystal. Tsopano boma lothandizidwa ndi US ku Afghanistan pamapeto pake likukambirana mwamtendere ndi a Taliban pa ndale zogawana mphamvu zothetsa nkhondo "yopanda malire" iyi, chifukwa yankho lokhalo pazandale lingapatse Afghanistan ndi anthu ake tsogolo labwino, lamtendere. kuti zaka makumi ambiri za nkhondo zawakana.
Ku Libya, patha zaka zisanu ndi zinayi kuchokera pomwe US ndi maiko akunja achifumu achi NATO ndi Aarabu adayambitsa nkhondo yothandizidwa ndi a kuwukira mobisa ndi kampeni yophulitsa bomba ya NATO yomwe idatsogolera ku sodomy yoopsa ndipo kuphedwa Mtsogoleri wakale waku Libya wotsutsa atsamunda, Muammar Gaddafi. Izi zidalowetsa Libya mu chisokonezo komanso nkhondo yapachiweniweni pakati pa magulu osiyanasiyana omwe US ndi anzawo adagwira nawo zida, kuwaphunzitsa ndikugwira nawo ntchito kulanda Gaddafi.
A kufunsitsa kwa nyumba yamalamulo ku UK adapeza kuti, "kulowererapo pang'ono kuteteza anthu wamba kunayamba kukhala njira yopezera mwayi kusintha maboma pogwiritsa ntchito njira yankhondo," zomwe zidapangitsa "kugwa kwandale komanso zachuma, nkhondo zapakati pa magulu ankhondo, pakati pa mafuko, mavuto othandizira anthu ndi osamuka, kufalikira kuphwanya ufulu wa anthu, kufalikira kwa zida za boma la Gaddafi kudera lonselo komanso kukula kwa Isil [Islamic State] kumpoto kwa Africa. ”
Magulu omenyera nkhondo aku Libya tsopano akuchita zokambirana zamtendere zomwe cholinga chawo ndi kuimitsa moto kwamuyaya ndipo, malinga kwa nthumwi ya UN "yochita zisankho zamayiko munthawi yochepa kwambiri kuti abwezeretse ulamuliro wa Libya" - ulamuliro womwe womwe kulowererapo kwa NATO kudawononga.
Mlangizi wa Senator Bernie Sanders pankhani zakunja a Matthew Duss apempha oyang'anira aku US kuti achite kuwunika kwathunthu ya post-9/11 "Nkhondo Yowopsa," kuti tithe kutembenuza tsambalo pamutu wamagaziwu m'mbiri yathu.
Duss akufuna bungwe lodziyimira palokha loti liziweruza zaka makumi awiri zapitazi za nkhondo potengera "malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi omwe United States idathandizira kukhazikitsa pambuyo pa nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse," yomwe idalembedwa mu UN Charter ndi Misonkhano Yaku Geneva. Akukhulupirira kuti kuwunikaku "kutsogolera kutsutsana kwamphamvu pagulu pankhani zantchito zomwe aku United States azigwiritsa ntchito pomenya nkhondo."
Kuwunika kotereku kwachedwa ndipo ndikofunikira kwambiri, koma kuyenera kuzindikira kuti, kuyambira pachiyambi pomwe, "Nkhondo Yachiwopsezo" idapangidwa kuti ipereke chophimba pakuwonjezereka kwakukulu kwa machitidwe aku US "kusintha boma" motsutsana ndi mayiko osiyanasiyana , ambiri mwa iwo anali olamulidwa ndi maboma akudziko omwe sanali okhudzana ndi kukwera kwa Al Qaeda kapena milandu ya Seputembara 11.
Ndemanga zomwe mkulu wina wazamalamulo a Stephen Cambone adachita pamsonkhano ku Pentagon womwe udawonongeka ndikusuta masana pa Seputembara 11, 2001 adalongosola mwachidule Secretary of Defense Malamulo a Rumsfeld kuti “… uthenga wabwino mwachangu. Weruzani ngati wagunda bwino SH [Saddam Hussein] nthawi yomweyo - osati UBL yekha [Osama Bin Laden]… Pitani kwakukulu. Sesa zonse. Zinthu zokhudzana ndi ayi. ”
Chifukwa cha nkhanza zankhondo zankhanza komanso kuwonongeka kwa anthu ambiri, ulamuliro wankhanza wapadziko lonse lapansi wakhazikitsa maboma wamba m'maiko padziko lonse lapansi omwe awonetsa zachinyengo, osavomerezeka komanso osatha kuteteza madera awo ndi anthu awo kuposa maboma omwe US zochita zichotsedwa. M'malo mophatikiza ndikukulitsa mphamvu zachifumu zaku US monga momwe amafunira, kugwiritsa ntchito kosaloledwa komanso kowononga kwa asitikali, kazembe komanso kukakamizidwa kwachuma kwakhala ndi zotsatirapo zina, kusiya US kukhala kopanda anthu ambiri komanso wopanda mphamvu mdziko lomwe likusintha mosiyanasiyana.
Masiku ano, US, China ndi European Union ali ofanana mofanana kukula kwachuma chawo komanso malonda apadziko lonse lapansi, koma ngakhale zochitika zawo zonse zimakhala zosakwana theka la padziko lonse lapansi ntchito zachuma ndi malonda akunja. Palibe mphamvu yachifumu yomwe ikulamulira dziko lamasiku ano monga atsogoleri aku America omwe anali ndi chidaliro chopitilira muyeso akuyembekeza kuti achita kumapeto kwa Cold War, komanso sagawanika ndi kulimbana kwakanthawi pakati pa maufumu olimbana monga mu Cold War. Ili ndiye dziko la mitundu yambiri lomwe tikukhalamo, osati lomwe lingadzatuluke mtsogolo.
Dziko ladzikoli lakhala likupita patsogolo, ndikupanga mgwirizano watsopano pamavuto athu ovuta kwambiri, kuchokera ku zida za nyukiliya ndi zida zankhondo zanyengo yovuta yokhudza ufulu wa amayi ndi ana. Kuphwanya mwadongosolo kwamalamulo aku United States ndikukana mgwirizano wamayiko ambiri apanga kukhala otsogola komanso vuto, osati mtsogoleri, monga andale aku America anenera.
A Joe Biden amalankhula zakubwezeretsa utsogoleri wapadziko lonse ku America ngati atasankhidwa, koma izi sizikhala zosavuta kunena kuposa kuchita. Ufumu waku America udadzuka kukhala utsogoleri wapadziko lonse lapansi pogwiritsa ntchito zachuma komanso mphamvu zawo zankhondo kutsatira malamulo dongosolo lapadziko lonse lapansi mu theka loyambirira la zaka za zana la 20, kumapeto kwake pambuyo pa nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse lapansi malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi. Koma United States yafooka pang'onopang'ono kudzera mu Cold War komanso kupambana kwa Cold War ndikupambana kukhala ufumu wonyezimira, wowonongeka womwe tsopano ukuwopseza dziko lapansi ndi chiphunzitso cha "kukhoza kulondola" ndi "njira yanga kapena msewu waukulu."
Pomwe Barack Obama adasankhidwa mu 2008, ambiri padziko lapansi adawonabe Bush, Cheney ndi "War on Terror" ngati zapadera, m'malo mwazinthu zatsopano zaku America. Obama adapambana Mphotho ya Mtendere ya Nobel potengera zolankhula zochepa komanso chiyembekezo chachikulu padziko lapansi cha "purezidenti wamtendere." Koma zaka zisanu ndi zitatu za Obama, Biden, Lachiwopsezo Lachiwiri ndi Iphani Mndandanda Kutsatiridwa ndi zaka zinayi za Trump, Pence, ana m'makola komanso New Cold War ndi China zatsimikizira mantha oyipa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi kuti mbali yakuda ya imperialism yaku America yomwe idawoneka pansi pa Bush ndi Cheney sinasinthe.
Pakati pa kusintha kwamphamvu kwamalamulo aku America ndikusintha kwa nkhondo, umboni wotsimikizika kwambiri wazomwe zikuwoneka ngati zosagwedezeka pakuchita zankhanza komanso zankhondo ndikuti US Military-Industrial Complex ikupitilizabe khumi otsatirawa Asitikali ankhondo padziko lonse lapansi akuphatikizidwa, momveka bwino kutengera zofunikira zonse zaku America zodzitchinjiriza.
Chifukwa chake zinthu za konkriti zomwe tiyenera kuchita ngati tikufuna mtendere ndikuti tileke kuphulitsa bomba ndikuvomereza anzathu ndikuyesera kugwetsa maboma awo; kuchotsa asitikali ambiri aku America ndikutseka malo ankhondo padziko lonse lapansi; ndikuchepetsa magulu athu ankhondo ndi ndalama zathu zankhondo pazomwe tikufunikira kuti titeteze dziko lathu, kuti tisamenye nkhondo zosavomerezeka pakati pa dziko lonse lapansi.
Chifukwa cha anthu padziko lonse lapansi omwe akumanga mayendedwe ambiri olanda maulamuliro opondereza ndikuvutikira kupanga mitundu yatsopano yamalamulo yomwe siyofanana ndi maboma andale olephera, tiyenera kuyimitsa boma lathu - ngakhale atakhala ndani ku White House - kuchokera kuyesera kukakamiza chifuniro chake.
Kupambana kwa Bolivia pamasinthidwe olamulidwa ndi US ndikutsimikizira anthu omwe akutuluka-mphamvu zamayiko athu atsopano, ndipo kulimbana kosunthira US ku tsogolo lachifumu kumakondweretsanso anthu aku America. Monga mtsogoleri wakale waku Venezuela a Hugo Chavez adauza nthumwi za ku United States kuti, "Ngati tigwira ntchito limodzi ndi anthu oponderezedwa ku United States kuti tigonjetse ufumuwo, sitidzangodzimasula tokha, komanso anthu a Martin Luther King."
