Otsutsa a Ukraine akutsutsa molimba mtima zachiwawa zaku Russia, akuchititsa manyazi dziko lonse lapansi ndi UN Security Council chifukwa cholephera kuwateteza. Ndi chizindikiro cholimbikitsa kuti aku Russia ndi aku Ukraine ali zokambirana ku Belarus zomwe zingayambitse kutha kwa nkhondo. Zoyesayesa zonse ziyenera kuchitidwa kuti nkhondoyi ithetsedwe gulu lankhondo la Russia lisanaphe zikwi zambiri za omenyera ufulu wa Ukraine ndi anthu wamba, ndikukakamiza ena mazana masauzande kuthawa.
Koma pali chowonadi chobisika chomwe chikugwira ntchito pansi pa sewero lamakhalidwe abwinoli, ndipo ndilo gawo la United States ndi NATO poyambitsa vutoli.
Purezidenti Biden adayitana kuukira kwa Russia "osatetezedwa,” koma zimenezo n’zotalikirana ndi choonadi. M'masiku anayi omwe atsala pang'ono kuwukira, oyang'anira kuyimitsa moto kuchokera ku Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) zolembedwa kuwonjezeka koopsa kwa kuphwanya malamulo oletsa kumenyana ku Eastern Ukraine, ndi kuphwanya 5,667 ndi kuphulika kwa 4,093.
Ambiri anali m'malire a Donetsk (DPR) ndi Luhansk (LPR) People's Republics, mogwirizana ndi zipolowe zomwe zinkabwera chifukwa cha asilikali a boma la Ukraine. Ndi pafupifupi 700 Oyang'anira oletsa kuthawa kwa OSCE pansi, sizodalirika kuti zonsezi zinali "mbendera zabodza" zomwe zidachitika ndi magulu odzipatula, monga adanenera akuluakulu aku US ndi Britain.
Kaya kuwombana kwa zipolowe kunali kungowonjezereka kwina kwa nkhondo yachiŵeniŵeni yomwe yakhala ikuchitika kwanthaŵi yaitali kapena kuyambika kwa kuukira boma latsopano, ndithudi kunali kuputa mkwiyo. Koma kuwukira kwa Russia kudaposa zomwe zachitika poteteza DPR ndi LPR ku ziwopsezozi, ndikupangitsa kuti ikhale yosagwirizana komanso yosaloledwa.
Pazikuluzikulu, Ukraine yakhala wozunzidwa mosadziwa komanso wothandizira pa Cold War yaku US yolimbana ndi Russia ndi China, pomwe United States yazungulira maiko onse awiri ndi asitikali ankhondo ndi zida zonyansa, zochotsedwa pamgwirizano wonse wazowongolera zida. , ndipo anakana kukambirana zigamulo zokhuza zokhuza chitetezo zomwe zidanenedwa ndi Russia.
Mu Disembala 2021, pambuyo pa msonkhano pakati pa Purezidenti Biden ndi Putin, Russia idapereka a lingaliro lokonzekera pa mgwirizano watsopano wachitetezo pakati pa Russia ndi NATO, ndi nkhani za 9 zomwe zikuyenera kukambirana. Iwo ankaimira maziko oyenera a kusinthanitsa kwakukulu. Chofunikira kwambiri pamavuto ku Ukraine chinali kungovomereza kuti NATO sangavomereze Ukraine ngati membala watsopano, zomwe sizili patebulo m'tsogolomu mulimonse. Koma oyang'anira a Biden adatsutsa malingaliro onse aku Russia ngati osayambitsa, ngakhale maziko okambirana.
Nanga ndichifukwa chiyani kukambirana za mgwirizano wachitetezo kunali kosavomerezeka kotero kuti Biden anali wokonzeka kuyika miyoyo ya anthu aku Ukraine pachiwopsezo, ngakhale panalibe moyo umodzi waku America, m'malo moyesa kupeza zomwe timagwirizana? Kodi izi zikuti chiyani za mtengo womwe Biden ndi anzawo amayika pa moyo waku America motsutsana ndi Ukraine? Ndipo ndi malo otani odabwitsawa omwe United States ali nawo m'dziko lamasiku ano omwe amalola pulezidenti waku America kuyika miyoyo ya anthu aku Ukraine pachiswe popanda kufunsa anthu aku America kuti agawane nawo zowawa ndi kudzipereka kwawo?
Kusokonekera kwa ubale waku US ndi Russia komanso kulephera kwa Biden kusasunthika kudayambitsa nkhondoyi, komabe mfundo ya Biden "imatulutsa kunja" zowawa zonse ndi zowawa kuti aku America athe, monga wina. Purezidenti wankhondo nthawi ina anati, “pitani kukachita malonda awo” ndi kupitiriza kugula. Ogwirizana ndi America ku Europe, omwe tsopano akuyenera kukhala ndi anthu mazana masauzande othawa kwawo ndikukumana ndi mitengo yamphamvu yamphamvu, akuyenera kusamala kuti asagwere pamzere wa "utsogoleri" wotere iwonso, asanakhale kutsogolo.
Kumapeto kwa Cold War, Pangano la Warsaw, mnzake wa NATO ku Eastern Europe, linathetsedwa, ndipo NATO. ayenera kukhala idakhalanso, popeza idakwaniritsa cholinga chomwe idamangidwa kuti igwire ntchito. M'malo mwake, NATO yakhalabe ngati mgwirizano wankhondo wowopsa, wosalamulirika wodzipereka makamaka kukulitsa gawo lake la ntchito ndikudzilungamitsa kukhalapo kwake. Ilo lafutukuka kuchoka ku maiko 16 mu 1991 kufika ku chiwonkhetso cha maiko 30 lerolino, kuphatikizapo ambiri a Kum’maŵa kwa Yuropu, panthaŵi imodzimodziyo pamene yachita zaukali, kuphulitsa mabomba kwa anthu wamba ndi upandu wina wankhondo.
Mu 1999, NATO anapezerapo nkhondo yosaloledwa kuti iwononge dziko la Kosovo lodziyimira pawokha kuchokera ku zotsalira za Yugoslavia. Ndege za NATO pankhondo ya Kosovo zidapha anthu wamba mazana ambiri, ndipo mnzake wamkulu pankhondoyo, Purezidenti wa Kosovo Hashim Thaci, tsopano akuzengedwa mlandu ku The Hague chifukwa chowopsa. milandu ya nkhondo adachita chivundikiro cha mabomba a NATO, kuphatikizapo kupha anthu ambirimbiri akaidi kuti agulitse ziwalo zawo zamkati pamsika wapadziko lonse lapansi.
Kutali ndi North Atlantic, NATO idalowa nawo United States pankhondo yake yazaka 20 ku Afghanistan, kenako idaukira ndikuwononga Libya mu 2011, kusiya m'mbuyo kulephera, vuto lopitirirabe othawa kwawo ndi chiwawa ndi chipwirikiti m'dera lonselo.
Mu 1991, monga mbali ya mgwirizano wa Soviet wovomereza kugwirizananso kwa East Germany ndi West Germany, atsogoleri a Kumadzulo adatsimikizira anzawo a Soviet kuti sangafutukule NATO kufupi ndi Russia kuposa malire a Germany wogwirizana. Secretary of State of America James Baker adalonjeza kuti NATO sipitilira "inchi imodzi" kudutsa malire a Germany. Malonjezo othyoka akumadzulo amalembedwa kuti onse awone mu 30 declassified zikalata lofalitsidwa patsamba la National Security Archive.
Pambuyo pakufalikira ku Eastern Europe ndikumenya nkhondo ku Afghanistan ndi Libya, NATO yabwera kudzawonanso Russia ngati mdani wake wamkulu. Zida za nyukiliya za US tsopano zili m'mayiko asanu a NATO ku Ulaya: Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium ndi Turkey, pamene France ndi UK ali kale ndi zida zawo za nyukiliya. Zida za US "missile Defense", zomwe zitha kusinthidwa kukhala zida zanyukiliya zowopsa, zili ku Poland ndi Romania, kuphatikiza maziko ku Poland makilomita 100 okha kuchokera kumalire a Russia.
Wina waku Russia Pemphani mu lingaliro lake la Disembala linali loti United States ingolowanso mu 1988 Mgwirizano wa INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty), pomwe mbali zonse ziwiri adagwirizana kuti asatumize zida zanyukiliya zazifupi kapena zapakati ku Europe. Trump adasiya panganoli mu 2019 paupangiri wa National Security Adviser, John Bolton, yemwenso ali ndi zipsera za 1972. Mgwirizano wa ABM, 2015 JCPOA ndi Iran ndi 1994 Agreed Framework ndi North Korea akulendewera pa lamba wake wamfuti.
Palibe chilichonse mwa izi chomwe chingalungamitse kuukira kwa Russia ku Ukraine, koma dziko lapansi liyenera kutengera Russia mozama ponena kuti mikhalidwe yake yothetsa nkhondoyo ndikubwerera ku zokambirana ndi kusalowerera ndale komanso kutsitsa zida ku Ukraine. Ngakhale kuti palibe dziko lomwe lingayembekezere kuchotseratu zida m'dziko lamasiku ano lokhala ndi zida, kusalowerera ndale kungakhale njira yayikulu ku Ukraine.
Pali zitsanzo zambiri zopambana, monga Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Finland ndi Costa Rica. Kapena tengani nkhani yaku Vietnam. Ili ndi malire wamba komanso mikangano yayikulu yam'madzi ndi China, koma Vietnam yakana zoyesayesa za US kuti ilowerere mu Cold War ndi China, ndipo idadziperekabe kunthawi yayitali. "Ma nambala anayi" mfundo: palibe mgwirizano wankhondo; palibe chiyanjano ndi dziko lina motsutsana ndi linzake; palibe maziko ankhondo akunja; ndipo palibe kuwopseza kapena kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu.
Dziko lapansi liyenera kuchita chilichonse chomwe chingatheke kuti athetse nkhondo ku Ukraine ndikupangitsa kuti isamame. Mwina Mlembi Wamkulu wa UN Guterres kapena nthumwi yapadera ya UN atha kukhala mkhalapakati, mwina ndi udindo wosunga mtendere ku UN. Izi sizidzakhala zophweka - chimodzi mwa maphunziro osaphunzira a nkhondo zina ndikuti n'zosavuta kuteteza nkhondo kudzera mu zokambirana zazikulu komanso kudzipereka kwenikweni ku mtendere kusiyana ndi kuthetsa nkhondo ikangoyamba.
Ngati ndipo pakakhala kutha kwa nkhondo, maphwando onse ayenera kukhala okonzeka kuyambanso kukambirana mayankho okhalitsa omwe angalole anthu onse aku Donbas, Ukraine, Russia, United States ndi mamembala ena a NATO kukhala mwamtendere. Chitetezo si masewera a zero, ndipo palibe dziko kapena gulu la mayiko omwe angapeze chitetezo chokhalitsa mwa kusokoneza chitetezo cha ena.
United States ndi Russia akuyeneranso kutenga udindo womwe umabwera ndikusunga zida zopitilira 90% za zida zanyukiliya zapadziko lonse lapansi, ndikuvomereza dongosolo loti ayambe kuzigwetsa, potsatira Pangano Lopanda Kuchulukitsa (Non-Proliferation Treaty).NPT) ndi Pangano latsopano la UN pa Kuletsa Zida za Nuclear (TPNW).
Pomaliza, monga aku America akutsutsa zankhanza za Russia, chingakhale chiwonetsero cha chinyengo kuiwala kapena kunyalanyaza nkhondo zambiri zaposachedwa zomwe United States ndi ogwirizana nawo akhala akuukira: mu Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti, Somalia, Palestine, Pakistan, Libya, Syria ndi Yemen.
Tikukhulupirira ndi mtima wonse kuti dziko la Russia lithetsa kuwukira kwawo kosaloledwa, kopanda nkhanza ku Ukraine kalekale asanachite kachigawo kakang'ono ka kupha ndi kuwononga kwakukulu komwe United States idachita pankhondo zake zosaloledwa.
