kuchokera Lipoti la Mtendere
Pakhala pali zambiri zokambirana za NATO posachedwapa, makamaka ndi Donald Trump. The New York Times posachedwapa adafalitsa nkhani akuti Trump yatsutsana ndi kukopa US kuchoka ku NATO, bungwe la mgwirizano wa North Atlantic. Mu July, Trump adati pa Msonkhano wa 2018 wa NATO umene US akulipira "mwina 90 peresenti ya ndalama za NATO". Koma kodi NATO ndi ndalama zingati US kulipira kwenikweni?
NATO inalengedwa mu 1949 monga mgwirizanowu wothandizana ndi "mutual defense". Zomwe ndi zomwe inu mwakhala mukuphunzitsidwa ndi yunivesite kapena mphunzitsi wa sekondale. Mayiko angapo adalowetsa mgwirizano kuti "ateteze" okha kwa adani, koma ndani ndipo chifukwa chiyani?
NATO poyamba inayamba ndi mayina a 12 ndipo yakhala ikuwonjezeredwa ku mamembala a 29 ku 2019. Cholinga chawo pachiyambi chinali kufutukula amitundu pansi pa ambulera ya ku America kuti ateteze mphamvu za Soviet kapena kuti zikhale bwino, chikhalidwe cha chikhalidwe cha anthu komanso chikomyunizimu. Mwa kusunga mayiko pansi pa ambulera ya NATO, a US anali ndi ulamuliro wochuluka pa iwo, potsirizira pake akukhazikitsa udindo wawo monga dziko lotsogolera mtsogoleri wa zigawenga kufalikira malingaliro a malingaliro a msika waufulu ndi zamalonda padziko lonse lapansi.
Soviet Union inagwa mu 1991, nanga bwanji NATO ikadalipobe? Osati kungokhalako, chifukwa chiyani chafalikira mpaka malire a Russia? Kwa zaka makumi ambiri dziko lakumadzulo linauzidwa kuti gulu lalikulu la asilikali linali lofunikira kuti likhale ndi gulu la chikomyunizimu la padziko lonse limene linkafalikira ku Moscow kufika pafupifupi theka la dziko lapansi. NATO inakhazikitsidwa kuti ikhale ndi mphamvu ya Moscow. Iyi ndi nkhani yokhayo yomwe inanenedwa kuti ikuwonetseratu kuti ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga asilikali ndi ntchito. Pano pali ntchito yeniyeni.
NATO ndi yabwino ku United States. A US amalipira peresenti ya 22 ya mtengo wake. Kukhala ndi asilikali akuluakulu a boma omwe ali pansi pa ambulera ya Ulamuliro wa US kumathandiza kuti US azitsogolera dziko lonse lapansi.
Kuonjezera apo, NATO imagwiritsidwa ntchito pothandiza padziko lonse lapansi. Tawonapo kuti kuyambira 2001 komwe zidachitika mkati mwa NATO zakhala zikuukira, zopanda chilungamo komanso zosavomerezeka, mayiko monga Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, ndi zina zambiri. NATO sichifunikira kuvomerezedwa ndi United Nations ndipo ikugwiritsidwa ntchito mokhazikika ku chifuniro cha Washington. Nthawi zonse, ndipo izi ndizochitika, bungwe la UN Security Council limakana kuvomereza, ndiye NATO imagwiritsidwa ntchito.
NATO imakhalanso chida chotseka maiko akumadzulo kwa Ulaya ku dongosolo lachifumu la US. Amagwiritsidwa ntchito popeza mbali zatsopano za dziko, kugulitsa zida, kupeza ndalama, komanso kulandira ndalama kuchokera ku mayiko ena.
Kuchokera pamene kugwa kwa Soviet Union, NATO yakhala ikupita m'madera omwe kale anali Soviet akuchita zomwe amseriyali amachita, kulamulira moyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku kwa anthu am'deralo ndikuwapondereza phindu.
Pamene Soviet Union inagwa ndipo akuluakulu akumadzulo adakulitsa misika yawo ku Eastern Europe kubweretsa nawo magulu akuluakulu a NATO ndi msika waulere, chuma chambiri sichinabwere kwa anthu kumeneko. Moyo unakula kwambiri, woipiraipira. Kufotokozera ndikuganiza kuti ndibwino kugwiritsa ntchito mawu a Michael Parenti amene adaganizira za kugonjetsedwa kwa chikomyunizimu. Zindikirani kuti akugonjetsa osati kugwa kwa chikomyunizimu, chifukwa chakuti Soviet Union ndi dziko la 2nd sizinagwe koma zidagonjetsedwa ndi magulu ankhondo a ku America. Ndikuyembekeza kuti mumakhala ndi nthawi yomvetsera mawu onsewa:
"Kodi izi zagula chiyani kwa ambiri? Kuwonjezeka kwakukulu kwa kusowa kwa ntchito, kumwa mankhwala osokoneza bongo, kuwonongeka kwa mpweya ndi madzi, chifuwa chachikulu, kolera, polio, uhule, kugwiriridwa kwa achinyamata, kuchitiridwa nkhanza kwa ana, komanso pafupifupi matenda ena onse. Opemphapempha, mapiritsi, maulendo opangira zinthu, ndi ena omwe ankakonda kuchita malonda awo kuposa kale lonse. M'mayiko ngati Russia ndi Hungary, chiwerengero cha kudzipha chawonjezeka ndi 50 peresenti m'zaka zingapo chabe. Pakhala kuchepa kwa chiwerengero cha zakudya komanso kuwonongeka kwa thanzi. Gawo limodzi la anthu a ku Russia tsopano sanakhalepo mpaka zaka za 60. Chiŵerengero cha imfa chasanduka pafupifupi 20 peresenti ya amayi a East East omwe ali ndi zaka khumi ndi ziwiri zapitazo ndipo pafupifupi 30 peresenti kwa amuna a msinkhu womwewo. Mosiyana ndi zimenezi, maboma a chikomyunizimu adakali amphamvu, Cuba ndi North Korea ndi maimfa a ku Vietnam akupitirizabe kugwa malinga ndi buku la chikomyunizimu lotchedwa New York Times. Ndi pamene ine ndinapeza icho. 30a, pamunsi kumanzere. Inali ndime ya 24th ya nkhani yayitali. "
