Ndi David Swanson
Okondedwa abale ndi alongo aku Ireland, kazembe wanu ku United States Anne Anderson analankhula ku yunivesite ya Virginia Lachiwiri masana.
Nditakambirana ndi mmodzi wa nzika zanu zabwino dzina lake Barry Sweeney, ndinamufunsa kuti: “Popeza boma la US likutsimikizira boma la Ireland kuti ndege zonse zankhondo zaku US zomwe zikuwonjezeredwa ku Shannon sizikugwira ntchito zankhondo ndipo sizinyamula zida kapena zida zankhondo, ndipo popeza Boma la Ireland likuumirira pa izi kuti zigwirizane ndi chikhalidwe cha Ireland chosalowerera ndale, chifukwa chiyani dipatimenti yoyendetsa ndege ku Ireland imavomereza pafupifupi tsiku ndi tsiku ndege za anthu wamba zomwe zimagwirizana ndi asitikali aku US kuti azinyamula asitikali ankhondo aku US pazochitika zankhondo, zida, ndi zida kudzera pa Shannon Airport. pophwanya malamulo a mayiko okhudza kusalowerera ndale?”
Kazembe Anderson adayankha kuti boma la US "okwera kwambiri" lidauza Ireland kuti likutsatira malamulo, ndipo Ireland idavomereza.
Chifukwa chake, apamwamba kwambiri aboma la US akuti wakuda ndi woyera, ndipo Ireland akuti "Chilichonse chomwe munganene, mbuye." Pepani, anzanga, koma ndi ulemu wonse, galu wanga ali ndi ubale wabwino ndi ine kuposa momwe muliri ndi United States.
Nthawi ina tinali ndi purezidenti wakale dzina lake Richard Nixon yemwe ananena kuti ngati purezidenti achita zinazake sizololedwa. Mwachiwonekere, Anderson amatenga malingaliro a Nixonia pa ulamuliro wa Trump.
Tsopano, ndikumvetsetsa kuti ambiri a inu simungagwirizane ndi zomwe Anderson ali nazo, koma adanena momveka bwino kuti samapereka kumbuyo kwa khoswe zomwe mukuganiza. M'mawu ake adanenanso kuti zisankho zomwe zikuchitika ku France ndi zisankho zina zaposachedwa zinali - zikomo! - "zokhala ndi mafunde a populism." Inu abale ndi alongo ndinu anthu ambiri. Kodi mwakhazikika bwino?
Ndinamufunsa Anderson funso lotsatira. Adalankhulapo zochirikiza kukhululukidwa kapena chithandizo chabwinoko kwa anthu osamukira ku Ireland omwe alibe zikalata ku United States. Ndinamufunsa ngati akudziwa kuti kudana ndi anthu othawa kwawo ku United States kumayambitsidwa ndi kutentha kulikonse, kumene Shannon Airport ndi Ireland ali m'gulu. Ndinayang'ana popanda kanthu.
Choncho ndinam’funsa ngati dziko la Ireland silingatithandize kukhala chitsanzo chabwino pa nkhani ya mtendere. Ndinkawoneka ngati akukhulupirira kuti mwina nditha kuthawa ku asylum. Analengeza kuti apita kwa wofunsa wotsatira. Ndikukhulupirira kuti John F. Kennedy, yemwe adapereka 90% ya zonena zake, akadapewanso funso losayenera ngati limeneli.
Zachidziwikire, Anderson sanatchulepo Shannon Airport m'mawu ake otsegulira, kupatula kuti Saint JFK adanyamukapo kuti asabwererenso. Sananyadire nawo gawo la Ireland pankhondo zosatha zomwe zikuwononga Middle East ndikuwopseza dziko lapansi. Iye ankakonda kufotokoza nkhani yonse mwakachetechete. Koma atafunsidwa za izi, adangonena kuti chilichonse chomwe US ikunena ndi chovomerezeka, ndipo adachisiya.
Kodi mwamvapo zina mwazinthu zomwe a Donald Trump akuti ndizovomerezeka? Ngati sichoncho, ndiye kuti muli ndi chidwi chenicheni.
Ife amene tili kunja kwa Ireland, makamaka ifeyo ku United States, tili ndi udindo wolimbikira komanso wofulumira kupereka thandizo lililonse kwa abale ndi alongo athu ku Ireland amene akukana nkhondo za ku United States.
Ngakhale kuti dziko la Ireland silinalowerere m'ndale komanso kunena kuti silinapite kunkhondo kuyambira pomwe linakhazikitsidwa mu 1922, dziko la Ireland linalola United States kuti igwiritse ntchito ndege ya Shannon pa nthawi ya nkhondo ya Gulf War ndipo, monga gawo la zomwe zimatchedwa mgwirizano wa odzipereka, panthawi ya nkhondo. zomwe zinayamba mu 2001. Pakati pa 2002 ndi masiku ano, asilikali oposa 2.5 miliyoni a US adutsa pa Shannon Airport, pamodzi ndi zida zambiri, ndi ndege za CIA zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kutumiza akaidi kumalo ozunzidwa. Casement Aerodrome yagwiritsidwanso ntchito. Ndipo, ngakhale kuti simembala wa NATO, Ireland yatumiza asilikali kuti achite nawo nkhondo yosaloledwa ku Afghanistan.
Pansi pa Hague Convention V ikulimbikitsidwa kuyambira 1910, ndi kumene United States yakhala phwando kuyambira pachiyambi, ndipo zomwe zili pansi pa Article VI za US Constitution ndilo lamulo lalikulu la United States, "Mabelligerents amaletsedwa kutumiza asilikali kapena nthumwi za nkhondo kapena zoperekera kudera lamalo osalowerera ndale. "Pansi pa bungwe la United Nations Convention Against Torture, kumene United States ndi Ireland ali maphwando, ndipo zomwe zakhala zikuphatikizidwa mu zida zosavomerezeka kwambiri ku US Code kuyambira pamaso pa George W. Bush atachoka ku Texas ku Washington, DC, kulimbikitsa kulikonse kozunzidwa kumafufuzidwa ndi kutsutsidwa. Pansi pa bungwe la United Nations ndi Kellogg-Briand Pact, onse a United States ndi Ireland akhala akuchita nawo kuyambira pachilengedwe chawo, nkhondo ku Afghanistan ndi nkhondo zina za ku America kuyambira 2001 zidatsutsidwa.
Anthu a ku Ireland ali ndi mwambo wamphamvu wotsutsa imperialism, kuyambira kale ngakhale kusintha kwa 1916 komwe chaka chino ndi zaka zana, ndipo amafunitsitsa kuimira boma kapena demokalase. Mu kafukufuku wa 2007, ndi 58% mpaka 19% adatsutsa kuti asitikali aku US agwiritse ntchito Shannon Airport. Mu kafukufuku wa 2013, opitilira 75% adathandizira kusalowerera ndale. Mu 2011, boma latsopano la ku Ireland linalengeza kuti ligwirizana ndi kusalowerera ndale, koma silinatero. M'malo mwake idapitiliza kulola asitikali aku US kusunga ndege ndi ogwira ntchito ku Shannon Airport, ndikubweretsa asitikali ndi zida pafupipafupi, kuphatikiza asitikali opitilira 20,000 kale chaka chino.
Asitikali aku United States alibe chifukwa cha Shannon Airport. Ndege zake zimatha kufika kumalo ena popanda kutha mafuta. Chimodzi mwazinthu zogwiritsa ntchito nthawi zonse pa Shannon Airport, mwina cholinga chachikulu, ndikungopangitsa kuti Ireland ikhale m'gulu lakupha. Pawailesi yakanema ya ku United States, olengeza amayamikira “asilikali” chifukwa choonera zimenezi kapena zochitika zazikulu zamasewera zochokera m’mayiko 175. Asilikali a ku United States ndi omwe amapindula nawo sangazindikire ngati chiwerengerocho chinatsikira ku 174, koma cholinga chawo, mwinamwake cholinga chawo chachikulu ndi kuyendetsa galimoto, ndikuwonjezera chiwerengerocho kufika pa 200. Kulamulira padziko lonse lapansi ndi cholinga chofotokozedwa momveka bwino cha asilikali a US. Mtundu ukangowonjezeredwa pamndandandawu, njira zonse zidzatengedwa, ndi dipatimenti ya boma, asitikali, a CIA, ndi onse ogwirizana nawo, kuti mtunduwo ukhale pamndandanda. Boma la United States likuwopa kuti Ireland ilibe zankhondo zaku US kuposa momwe tingaganizire. Gulu lamtendere lapadziko lonse lapansi liyenera kuzilakalaka kuposa momwe timachitira, kuphatikizapo chitsanzo chomwe chingakhale ku Scotland, Wales, England, ndi dziko lonse lapansi.
Kodi ife, kunja kwa Ireland, timadziwa bwanji chilichonse chomwe gulu lankhondo la US limachita ku Ireland? Sitimaphunzira kuchokera ku boma la US kapena utolankhani waku US. Ndipo boma la Ireland silichitapo kanthu kuti liwulule zomwe likudziwa, zomwe mwina sizinthu zonse. Tikudziwa zomwe tikudziwa chifukwa cha olimbikitsa mtendere olimba mtima komanso odzipereka ku Ireland, omwe akuyimira malingaliro ambiri, kutsatira malamulo, kusachita zachiwawa, komanso kugwira ntchito kudzera m'mabungwe ambiri, odziwika kwambiri. Shannonwatch.org. Ngwazi izi zataya zidziwitso zabodza, osankhidwa komanso olimbikitsa mamembala anyumba yamalamulo yaku Ireland, adalowa m'bwalo la Shannon Airport kufunsa funso ndikukopa chidwi ndikuyimbidwa milandu chifukwa chamtendere. Ngati sichoncho, nzika za United States - dziko lomwe limaphulitsa mayiko ena m'dzina la demokalase - sakadadziwa zomwe zikuchitika. Ngakhale panopo, anthu ambiri ku United States sadziwa. Tiyenera kuwathandiza kuwauza. Ngakhale ochirikiza nkhondo aku US samathandizira kulembedwa kovomerezeka, mpaka iwowo atakalamba kwambiri kuti ayenerere. Ambiri ayenera kukhala okonzeka kutsutsa kukakamiza Ireland kutenga nawo mbali pankhondo zomwe sakufuna kutenga nawo mbali.
Ngati zoyendera zankhondo zaku US zipitiliza kugwiritsa ntchito Shannon Airport, tsoka lichitika pamenepo. Zoonadi tsoka lachikhalidwe chochita nawo kupha anthu ambiri ku Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, ndi zina zotero, likupitirirabe. Tsoka la chikhalidwe lopangitsa mochenjera kuganiza kuti nkhondo ndi yachibadwa likuchitika. Ndalama zachuma ku Ireland, kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe ndi phokoso, "chitetezo" chowonjezereka chomwe chimasokoneza ufulu wa anthu: zinthu zonsezi ndi gawo la phukusi, pamodzi ndi tsankho lomwe limapeza othawa kwawo omwe akuthawa nkhondo. Koma ngati Shannon Airport ikapulumuka kugwiritsa ntchito asitikali aku US popanda ngozi yayikulu, kutayika, kuphulika, ngozi, kapena kupha anthu ambiri, ikhala yoyamba. Asitikali aku US awononga ndikuwononga malo ena okongola kwambiri ku United States komanso padziko lonse lapansi. Kukongola kosayerekezeka kwa Ireland sikuli kotetezedwa.
Ndiyeno pali blowback. Pochita nawo nkhondo zopanda phindu zomwe zimabweretsa uchigawenga wapadziko lonse, Ireland imadzipangitsa kukhala chandamale. Pamene Spain idakhala chandamale idachoka kunkhondo yaku Iraq, kudzipanga kukhala yotetezeka. Dziko la Britain ndi France litayamba kumenyedwa, iwo adachita nawo zauchigawenga-zazikulu-zambiri-zotengera dzinalo, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti ziwawa ziwonjezeke ndikukulitsa ziwawa. Kodi Ireland angasankhe njira iti? Sitingathe kudziwa. Koma tikudziwa kuti chingakhale chanzeru kuti dziko la Ireland lichoke pakuchita nawo zigawenga m'gulu lankhondo lankhanza nkhondo isanabwere.
