Mu posachedwapa ndime, wopenda zankhondo William Astore analemba kuti, “[Mtsogoleri wa Congress] George Santos ali chizindikiro cha matenda aakulu kwambiri: kupanda ulemu, kupanda manyazi, ku America. Ulemu, chowonadi, kukhulupirika, sizikuwoneka ngati zilibe kanthu, kapena zilibe kanthu, ku America lero…

Monga momwe zochitika zimasonyezera, zonse zinali zozungulira. Mabodza onse.”
Tsopano America ili pankhondo kachiwiri, ku Ukraine, ndipo sapota akupitirirabe. Nkhondo iyi ikuphatikizapo Russia, Ukraine, ndi United States ndi othandizira ake a NATO. Palibe chipani cha mkanganowu chomwe chalumikizana ndi anthu ake kuti afotokoze moona mtima zomwe akumenyera, zomwe akuyembekeza kukwaniritsa komanso momwe akukonzekera kuzikwaniritsa. Mbali zonse zimati zikumenyera zifukwa zabwino ndipo akuumirira kuti ndi mbali ina yomwe ikukana kukambirana zamtendere. Onse akunyenga ndi kunama, ndipo omvera omvera (mbali zonse) amalengeza mabodza awo.
Ndizowona kuti imfa yoyamba yankhondo ndi chowonadi. Koma kupota ndi kunama kuli ndi zotsatira zenizeni pa nkhondo yomwe mazana zikwi anthu enieni akumenyana ndi kufa, pamene nyumba zawo, kumbali zonse za mizera yankhondo, zasanduka zibwinja ndi mazana a zikwi za anthu. zipolopolo za howitzer.
Yves Smith, mkonzi wa Naked Capitalism, adafufuza mgwirizano wobisikawu pakati pa nkhondo yachidziwitso ndi yeniyeni mu nkhani mutu wakuti, "Bwanji Russia itapambana Nkhondo ya Ukraine, koma atolankhani aku Western sanazindikire?" Anawona kuti kudalira kwathunthu kwa Ukraine pakupereka zida ndi ndalama kuchokera kwa ogwirizana nawo akumadzulo kwapereka moyo wake ku nkhani yopambana kuti Ukraine ikugonjetsa Russia, ndipo idzapitirizabe kupambana malinga ngati mayiko akumadzulo akutumiza ndalama zambiri. zida zamphamvu kwambiri ndi zakupha.
Koma kufunikira kopitiliza kubwereza chinyengo choti Ukraine ikupambana potengera zopindulitsa zochepa pabwalo lankhondo kwakakamiza Ukraine kusunga. kudzipereka mphamvu zake pankhondo zamagazi kwambiri, monga kutsutsa kwake kuzungulira Kherson ndi kuzingidwa kwa Russia ku Bakhmut ndi Soledar. Lt. Col.

Zolinga zankhondo ku Ukraine ndizovuta kubwera ndi chifunga chambiri cha propaganda zankhondo. Koma tiyenera kutchera khutu pamene magulu akuluakulu ankhondo aku Western, okangalika komanso opuma pantchito, akuyitanitsa zokambirana kuti zikhazikitsenso zokambirana zamtendere, ndikuchenjeza kuti kukulitsa ndi kukulitsa nkhondoyo ndikuyika pachiwopsezo. lonse-lonse nkhondo pakati pa Russia ndi United States yomwe ingathe kukulirakulira nkhondo yankhondo.
General Erich Vad, yemwe anali mlangizi wamkulu wankhondo wa Chancellor waku Germany Angela Merkel kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri, posachedwa analankhula ndi Emma, webusaiti ya nkhani za ku Germany. Anatcha nkhondo ya ku Ukraine "nkhondo yowononga," ndipo anaiyerekeza ndi Nkhondo Yoyamba Yapadziko Lonse, komanso nkhondo ya Verdun makamaka, momwe asilikali zikwi mazana ambiri a ku France ndi Germany anaphedwa popanda phindu lalikulu kwa mbali iliyonse. .
Vad adafunsanso chimodzimodzi osayankhidwa funso zomwe bungwe la akonzi la New York Times lidafunsa Purezidenti Biden Meyi watha. Kodi zolinga zenizeni za US ndi NATO ndi chiyani?
"Kodi mukufuna kukwaniritsa kufunitsitsa kukambirana ndi zotumiza akasinja? Kodi mukufuna kugonjetsanso Donbas kapena Crimea? Kapena mukufuna kugonjetseratu Russia? Anafunsa General Vad.
Iye anamaliza, “Palibe tanthauzo lenileni la mapeto. Ndipo popanda lingaliro lazandale komanso laukadaulo, kutumiza zida ndi nkhondo yeniyeni. Tili ndi vuto lankhondo, lomwe sitingathe kuthana nalo pankhondo. Zodabwitsa ndizakuti, awa ndi malingaliro a Chief of Staff waku America Mark Milley. Iye adanena kuti kupambana kwa asilikali a Ukraine sikuyenera kuyembekezera ndipo zokambirana ndi njira yokhayo yomwe ingatheke. Chinanso n’kungowononga moyo wa munthu mopanda nzeru.”
Nthawi zonse akuluakulu akumadzulo akayikidwa pamalopo ndi mafunso osayankhidwa awa, amakakamizika kuyankha, monga Biden anatero ku Times miyezi isanu ndi itatu yapitayo, kuti akutumiza zida zothandizira Ukraine kudziteteza ndikuyiyika pamalo amphamvu pagome lokambirana. Koma kodi “malo amphamvu” amenewa akanaoneka bwanji?
Ma media aku US amasunga kubwereza nkhani yakuti Russia sidzakambirana konse mwachikhulupiriro, ndipo yabisira anthu zokambirana zabwino zomwe zinayamba posachedwapa pambuyo pa kuukira kwa Russia koma zinathetsedwa ndi United States ndi United Kingdom. Malo ochepa chabe adanena mavumbulutsidwe aposachedwa ndi Prime Minister wakale wa Israeli Naftali Bennett za zokambirana zothetsa nkhondo pakati pa Russia ndi Ukraine ku Turkey zomwe adathandizira kuyimira pakati pa Marichi 2022. Bennett adanena momveka bwino kuti West "oletsedwa" kapena "kusiya" (malinga ndi kumasulira) zokambirana.
Bennett adatsimikizira zomwe zanenedwa ndi magwero ena kuyambira pa Epulo 21, 2022, pomwe nduna yakunja yaku Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu, m'modzi mwa amkhalapakati ena, adanena CNN Turk pambuyo pa msonkhano wa nduna zakunja za NATO, "Pali mayiko mkati mwa NATO omwe akufuna kuti nkhondo ipitirire ... Akufuna kuti Russia ifooke."
Alangizi kwa Prime Minister Zelenskyy operekedwa Zambiri zaulendo wa Boris Johnson wa Epulo 9 ku Kyiv zomwe zidasindikizidwa ku Ukrayinska Pravda pa Meyi 5. Adati Johnson adapereka mauthenga awiri. Choyamba chinali chakuti Putin ndi Russia "ayenera kukakamizidwa, osati kukambirana nawo." Chachiwiri chinali chakuti, ngakhale Ukraine itamaliza mgwirizano ndi Russia, "Kumadzulo pamodzi," omwe Johnson adanena kuti akuimira, sangatenge nawo mbali.
Atolankhani aku Western amakambirana zokayikitsa za nkhaniyi kapena kunyoza aliyense amene angabwereze ngati opepesera a Putin, ngakhale akuluakulu aku Ukraine, akazembe aku Turkey komanso nduna yakale ya Israeli adatsimikizira zambiri.
Nkhani zabodza zomwe andale aku Western komanso atolankhani amagwiritsa ntchito pofotokozera za nkhondo ya ku Ukraine kwa anthu awo ndi nkhani ya "zipewa zoyera vs zipewa zakuda", momwe kulakwa kwa Russia pakuwukiraku kumawirikiza kawiri ngati umboni wa kusalakwa ndi chilungamo cha Kumadzulo. Phiri lomwe likukula laumboni kuti US ndi ogwirizana nawo amagawana udindo pazinthu zambiri zamavutowa akusesedwa pansi pa kapeti wamwambi, womwe umawoneka ngati wa Kalonga Wamng'ono. kujambula a boa constrictor amene anameza njovu.
Atolankhani aku Western ndi akuluakulu aboma anali opusa kwambiri akamayesa mlandu Russia pophulitsa mapaipi akeake, mapaipi amafuta apansi pamadzi a Nord Stream omwe amatumiza gasi waku Russia kupita ku Germany. Malinga ndi zimene bungwe la NATO linanena, kuphulika kumene kunatulutsa matani okwana theka la miliyoni a methane m’mlengalenga kunali “zowononga mwadala, mosasamala, ndiponso mopanda dala.” The Washington Post, zomwe zingatengedwe kuti ndizolakwika za utolankhani, wotchulidwa “Mkulu wa za chilengedwe ku Ulaya” wosadziwika dzina ananena kuti, “Palibe amene ali kumbali ya nyanja ya ku Ulaya amene akuganiza kuti zimenezi n’zosiyana ndi kuwononga dziko la Russia.”
Zinatengera mtolankhani wakale wa New York Times Seymour Hersh kuti athetse chete. Adasindikiza, mu positi yabulogu pa Substack yake, yochititsa chidwi wa whistleblower Nkhani ya momwe osambira a Navy aku US adagwirizana ndi gulu lankhondo laku Norway kuti abzale zophulika mobisa pochita masewera ankhondo apanyanja a NATO, komanso momwe adaphulitsidwira ndi chizindikiro champhamvu chochokera ku buoy yomwe idagwetsedwa ndi ndege yaku Norway. Malinga ndi a Hersh, Purezidenti Biden adatengapo gawo pamalingalirowo, ndikuwongolera kuti aphatikizepo kugwiritsa ntchito buoy yosainira kuti athe kudziuzira yekha nthawi yogwira ntchito, miyezi itatu mabomba atabzalidwa.
White House ikuyembekezeka adachotsedwa Lipoti la Hersh ngati "bodza ndi nthano zopeka", koma silinafotokozepo chilichonse chomveka chokhudza uchigawenga wachilengedwe.
pulezidenti Kalimbeni ananena momveka bwino kuti "nzika yochenjeza ndi yodziwa" yokha ndi yomwe ingatetezere kutengeka kwa zinthu zosayenera, kaya zofunidwa kapena zosafunidwa, ndi magulu ankhondo ndi mafakitale. Kuthekera kwa kukwera kowopsa kwa ulamuliro wolakwika kulipo ndipo kupitilirabe. "
Ndiye kodi nzika ya ku America yochenjeza komanso yodziwa bwino ikuyenera kudziwa chiyani za ntchito yomwe boma lathu lachita poyambitsa mavuto ku Ukraine, gawo lomwe atolankhani amakampani adasesa? Ili ndi limodzi mwamafunso akulu omwe tayesera kuyankha bukhu lathu Nkhondo ku Ukraine: Kumvetsetsa Mkangano Wopanda Nzeru. Mayankho ake ndi awa:
- US idaphwanya zake amalonjeza osati kukulitsa NATO ku Eastern Europe.
