Wolemba Matt Robson, Wobiriwira Kumanzere, April 21, 2023

Matt Robson ndi nduna yakale ya nduna ya NZ, ndipo adakhala MP kuyambira 1996 mpaka 2005, woyamba ngati membala wa Alliance, kenako monga Wotsogola.

Monga Minister of Disarmament and Arms Control ku Aotearoa / New Zealand mkati mwa boma la mgwirizano wa Labor-Alliance ku 1999, ndinalamulidwa kulimbikitsa kutsutsa kwa NZ pa zida za nyukiliya komanso kukhala nawo m'magulu ankhondo ankhanza monga NATO kudziko lonse lapansi. Ndipo ndinatero.

Zomwe sindimazindikira panthawiyo - ndipo ndimayenera kukhala nazo, nditawerenga Ralph Miliband pa "Parliamentary Socialism" - chinali chakuti onse apamwamba a asilikali a NZ, anzeru ndi ogwira ntchito za boma anali kugwira ntchito nthawi yowonjezera kuti atsimikizire United States '. Akuluakulu kuti NZ pamapeto pake ibwerera ku khola (osati mawu awo) ngati mphamvu yayikulu ya imperialist ku South Pacific ndikuthandizira mgwirizano wotsogozedwa ndi asitikali aku US. Ndipo izi n’zimene zikuchitika.

Mfundo zotsutsana ndi zida za nyukiliya za NZ ndi kutsutsa kwake kogwirizana ndi magulu ankhondo a zida za nyukiliya zidakhazikitsidwa pa 1987. Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament and Arms Control Act, yokhazikitsidwa ndi boma lapanthawiyo la Labor, kulimbikitsa umembala wa South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty kapena Treaty of Rarotonga.

Ndondomeko zotsutsana ndi zida za nyukiliya izi, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti New Zealand itulutsidwe mumgwirizano wankhondo wa ANZUS ndi "ogwirizana" - pomwe Prime Minister waku Australia a Bob Hawke adaumirira - adakakamizika ku boma la Labor ndi gulu lamphamvu lomwe lidalowa m'malo. Chiyambi cha ntchito.

Atsogoleri azintchito amayenera kunena mwachipongwe kuti kuvomereza udindo wotsutsana ndi zida za nyukiliya kunali koyenera, kuti asokoneze chidwi ndi blitzkrieg yomwe idakakamiza kudzera mu pulogalamu ya neoliberal yogulitsa zachinsinsi, kuletsa komanso kutha kwa chithandizo chamankhwala chaulere ndi maphunziro. Zowonadi, munthawi ya kupambana kwa kampeni yolimbana ndi zida za nyukiliya, NZ idavutika ndi kukhazikitsidwa kwa ndondomeko ya neoliberal yathunthu ndikubwezeretsanso boma lazaumoyo. Kusakhulupirika uku kwa zopindula za gulu la ogwira ntchito kunapangitsa kuti Labor iwonongeke mu 1990 mpaka kugonjetsedwa koipitsitsa pamasankho.

Tsopano, olowa m'malo a Labor akugwiritsa ntchito kusakhulupirika kwatsopano: zopindula za gulu lolimbana ndi nkhondo. Mizu ya gulu lamphamvuli idakhala potsutsana ndi nkhondo yankhondo yaku US ku Vietnam, mlandu wankhondo womwe Australia ndi NZ zidatenga nawo gawo, zomwe zidalowa nawo gulu lalikulu lodana ndi zida zanyukiliya, kutsutsa tsankho la South Africa ndi kugonjetsedwa kwa East Timor.

Kutsutsa zida za nyukiliya ndi magulu ankhondo okhala ndi zida za nyukiliya kunali kwamphamvu kwambiri kotero kuti ngakhale National Party yokhazikika idakakamizika kuvomereza. Mtsogoleri wotsutsa dziko Don Brash adauza aphungu aku US ku 2004 kuti mfundo zotsutsana ndi zida za nyukiliya zidzatha nthawi ya nkhomaliro ngati National idzasankhidwanso. M'malo mwake, anali Brash yemwe anali atapita - ngati si nthawi ya nkhomaliro ndi tiyi yamadzulo - ndipo National idatsimikizira kudzipereka kwake ku NZ kukhala yopanda nyukiliya.

Prime Minister wakale a Jacinda Ardern - wodziwika ndi atolankhani aku Western ngati wolimbikitsa mtendere ndi zabwino - adayendera US mu Meyi chaka chatha. Kumeneko adakumana ndi Purezidenti wa US a Joe Biden ndi Kurt Campbell, Wogwirizanitsa Chitetezo cha Biden ku US Indo-Pacific National Security Coordinator, pakati pa ena.

Minister of Defense Andrew Little adakumananso ndi Campbell mwezi watha ndipo pa Marichi 23, adatsimikizira The Guardian kuti NZ inali kukambirana za kulowa nawo AUKUS Pillar Two - gawo losakhala la nyukiliya la mgwirizano wa chitetezo wokhazikitsidwa ndi Australia, Britain ndi US. Pillar Yachiwiri imakhudza kugawana matekinoloje apamwamba ankhondo, kuphatikiza quantum computing ndi luntha lochita kupanga.

Ntchito yakhalanso mwachidwi, koma popanda kukambirana pagulu, yakhala gawo la NATO Asia Pacific 4 (AP4): Australia, New Zealand, South Korea ndi Japan.

Zikuwoneka - kuchokera kuzinthu zambiri ndi machitidwe ndi maulendo a panjandrums apamwamba a US, NATO ndi ena - kuti mgwirizano wachitika pa AUKUS Pillar Two ndi kuphatikiza kwake kwakukulu ndi AP4.

Zikuoneka kuti AP4 ndi "chikondi pakadali pano chomwe sichimalankhula dzina lake", ngakhale mtsogoleri wa NATO Jens Stoltenberg adalengeza posachedwa. malankhulidwe ku Keio University ku Tokyo mu February, zomwe zidanenedwa ndi Geoffrey Miller's Epulo 11 chidutswa cha democracyproject.nz. Stoltenberg adauza omvera ake kuti NATO "yakhala ndi "njira zambiri ... idakhazikitsa kale" AP4 ndipo adafotokoza kuti mayiko anayi atenga nawo gawo pamsonkhano wa atsogoleri a NATO ku Spain mu 2022 ngati "nthawi yakale", adalemba Miller.

Mtsogoleri wa NATO Policy Planning Benedetta Berti alankhula pamsonkhano wa NZ Institute of International Affairs (NZIIA) sabata ino - pomwe mu 2021 Campbell ndi Ardern adachita ziwonetsero zogomera pomwe Prime Minister wa NZ adalandira "demokalase" ndi "malamulo" US. kubwerera ku Pacific, kukakumana ndi China.

Ku NZIIA, mosakayikira, Berti afotokoza momwe NATO, gulu lankhondo lalikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi lomwe lili ndi mfundo za nyukiliya Yoyamba Yankhondo ndi maziko kulikonse, likukulitsa ubale wake ndi AP4 kuti likhale ndi China yankhanza komanso yankhondo.

Nduna ya Zakunja ku NZ Nanaia Mahuta anapezeka Msonkhano wapachaka wa nduna zakunja za NATO ku Brussels mwezi uno - pamodzi ndi anzawo aku Australia, Japan ndi South Korea. Prime Minister wosankhidwa posachedwa Chris Hipkins apita ku Msonkhano Wa Atsogoleri a NATO ku Vilnius, Lithuania, mu Julayi (pamodzi ndi mamembala ena aku Asia Pacific) ndipo mosakayikira akuwonetsa Russia (ndi China bwenzi lathu lalikulu kwambiri lazamalonda) kuti ndife gawo lalikulu kwambiri ku Russia. mantha - kupita patsogolo kosalekeza kwa NATO yokhala ndi zida zanyukiliya ndi ogwirizana nawo mpaka kumalire a Russia.

Kutenga nawo gawo kwa NZ pamasewera a Talisman Saber ndi Rim of the Pacific asitikali ankhondo ndi kugwirizana zonse ndi gawo lokonzekera NZ pazachiwawazi.

Miller wasonyeza kuti kusakhulupirika kwakukulu kwayamba: Kuphatikizidwa kwathunthu kwa NZ mu NATO yokhala ndi zida za nyukiliya; kutenga nawo gawo mu njira yosungiramo zinthu zaku China monga gawo la njira ya NATO Pacific; komanso monga gawo la Pillar Two AUKUS yokhala ndi cybersecurity etc. monga chowiringula.

Zikuwoneka kuti zikufewetsa kwambiri udindo wa NZ womwe ukubwera. Ndemanga zaposachedwa zomwe ndamva kuchokera kwa akuluakulu a Unduna wa Zachilendo ndi Zamalonda - kuti malamulo a 1987 ndi akale - akuwonetsa zambiri.

Ndi Te Pati Maori yekha (Chipani cha Maori) akuwoneka okonzeka kumenya nkhondo ndipo palibe peep kuchokera mkati mwa Labor. Tili ndi nkhondo (kugwiritsa ntchito mawu ankhondo) m'manja mwathu.
