Zachidziwikire, chinsinsi ndichakuti - ngakhale atolankhani ambiri amafotokoza za kusinthanso mayina a mabasiketi - bilu yokhayo ndiyomwe imafotokoza za ndalama (zina mwa) makina ankhondo okwera mtengo kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi: ma nukes ambiri, zida zambiri "wamba", zida zambiri zam'mlengalenga, ma F-35 ambiri kuposa Pentagon omwe amafunidwa, ndi zina zambiri.

Pafupifupi konse komwe kufalitsa nkhani za ngongolezi sikunatchule, mwachitsanzo, mabungwe akunja, kapena mtengo wawo waukulu wazachuma, kapena kusathandizidwa ndi anthu. Nthawi ino, komabe, zatchulidwa zakuti biluyi imaletsa kuchotsedwa kwa asitikali aku US ndi magulu ankhondo aku Germany ndi Afghanistan.

Trump akufuna kukoka gulu lankhondo laku US ku Germany kuti alange Germany - kapena kuti, boma la Germany, kapena Germany wongoyerekeza, popeza anthu aku Germany amakonda kwambiri izi. Ndemanga za a Trump ku Afghanistan sizanzeru kapena zachifundo kuposa ku Germany. Koma lingaliro loti munthu atha kuthandizira kunyamuka kwa asitikali pazifukwa zosiyana kwambiri ndi za a Trump sikungapezeke konse kuma media aku US, chifukwa sikuyimiridwa ndi chipani chachikulu.

Komabe, Wapampando wa Joint Chiefs of Staff a Mark Milley sabata ino adafotokozedwa malingaliro akuti mabungwe akunja aku US, kapena ena mwa iwo, ayenera kutsekedwa. Milley akufuna Gulu Lankhondo Lalikulu, chidani chachikulu ku China, ndipo akuwona nkhondo yaku Afghanistan kukhala yopambana. Chifukwa chake, sindimagwirizana naye nthawi zonse pazinthu zonse, kuti ndinene pang'ono. Zifukwa zake zofunira kutseka maziko sizanga, koma zilibenso njira ya a Trump. Chifukwa chake, munthu sangapewe kulingalira lingaliro la Milley pongolengeza kuti ndi Lipenga.

Osachepera 90% yazankhondo zakunja padziko lonse lapansi ndizoyambira ku US. United States ili ndi asitikali opitilira 150,000 omwe atumizidwa kunja kwa United States kuposa Zotsatira za 800 (kulingalira kwina kuli Kuposa 1000) m'maiko 175, ndi makontinenti onse 7. Zoyambira nthawi zambiri zimakhala masoka achilengedwe, monga momwe zilili ku United States. Ndipo nthawi zambiri amakhala masoka andale. Maziko atsimikiziridwa zimapangitsa nkhondo kukhala zotheka, osati zochepa. Amatumikira nthawi zambiri kuti limbikitsani maboma opondereza, kuti kuthandiza kugulitsa kapena kupereka zida zankhondo ndikupereka maphunziro ku maboma opondereza, ndikulepheretsa kuyesetsa kwamtendere kapena zida.

Malinga ndi Nkhani ya AP lofalitsidwa pafupifupi kulikonse, Milley adatchula za Bahrain ndi South Korea makamaka. Bahrain ndi nkhanza yankhanza yomwe yakhala yayikulu kwambiri pazaka za Trump, poyankha molunjika thandizo la a Trump.

Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa wakhala Mfumu ya Bahrain kuyambira 2002, pomwe adadzipanga kukhala Mfumu, pomwe amatchedwa Emir. Adakhala Emir ku 1999 chifukwa cha zomwe adachita mu, woyamba, kukhalapo, ndipo chachiwiri, abambo ake akumwalira. Amfumu ali ndi akazi anayi, m'modzi yekha ndi m'bale wake.

A Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa adathana ndi otsutsa omwe sanachite zachiwawa powawombera, kuwaba, kuwazunza ndikuwaponya mndende. Adalanga anthu chifukwa cholankhula za ufulu wachibadwidwe, ngakhale "kunyoza" mfumu kapena mbendera - zolakwa zomwe zimakhala m'ndende zaka 7 m'ndende komanso chindapusa chachikulu.

Malinga ndi Unduna wa Zachikhalidwe ku US, "Bahrain ndi boma lachifumu lokhazikitsidwa mwalamulo. . . . Nkhani zaufulu wa anthu [zimaphatikizaponso] milandu yozunza; Kumangidwa mosazengereza; andende andale; kusokonezedwa kwachinsinsi kapena kosaloledwa; Zoletsa ufulu wolankhula, atolankhani, ndi intaneti, kuphatikizapo kuletsa, kutseketsa masamba, komanso kunyoza milandu; kusokoneza kwambiri ufulu wamisonkhano mwamtendere komanso ufulu wocheza, kuphatikiza zoletsa mabungwe omwe siaboma (NGO) kuti azigwira ntchito momasuka mdziko muno. ”

Malinga ndi anthu osapindulitsa aku America a Demokalase ndi Ufulu Wachibadwidwe ku Bahrain, ufumu uli mkati "Kuphwanya kwathunthu" ya Pangano Lapadziko Lonse Lokhudza Ufulu Wachibadwidwe ndi Ndale, ndipo apolisi ake ali dongosolo lokhazikika kumangidwa mosazengereza, kuzunzidwa, kugwiriridwa, komanso kuphedwa mosaganizira. Bahrain ndi “Mwa mayiko omwe ali ndi polisi zambiri padziko lapansi, okhala ndi anthu pafupifupi 46 a MOI [Ministry of the Interior] kwa nzika 1,000. Chiwerengerochi chikuposa kuwirikiza kawiri chiwerengero chimenechi pofika pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wankhanza wa a Saddam Hussein ku Iraq, omwe anali ochepa kwambiri m'maulamuliro ofanana ku Iran ndi ku Brazil. ”

Omenyera nkhondo omwe amakonda kunamizira kuti dziko lomwe latsala pang'ono kuphulitsidwa ndi bomba lili ndi munthu m'modzi woyipa amalipira ndalama zambiri kuti akhale ndi mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito a Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa ngati cholowa m'malo mwa anthu aku Bahrain. Koma Al Khalifa samazunzidwa ndi atolankhani aku US kapena asitikali aku US.

Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa adaphunzitsidwa ndi asitikali aku US. Ndiwomaliza maphunziro ku United States Army Command ndi General Staff College ku Fort Leavenworth ku Kansas. Amadziwika kuti ndi mnzake wabwino ku US, Britain, ndi maboma ena akumadzulo. Asitikali apamadzi aku US akhazikitsa Fifth Fleet yake ku Bahrain. Boma la US limapereka maphunziro azankhondo ndi ndalama ku Bahrain, ndikuthandizira kugulitsa zida zopangidwa ndi US ku Bahrain.

Mwana wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa wa King komanso wolowa m'malo mwake adaphunzitsidwa ku American University ku Washington, DC, komanso ku Queen's College, University of Cambridge, England.

Mu 2011, Bahrain idalemba ganyu wamkulu wa apolisi aku US a John Timoney, wodziwika kuti ndi wankhanza ku Miami ndi Philadelphia, kuti athandize boma la Bahraini kuopseza komanso kuzunza anthu, omwe adatero. Kuyambira 2019, “Apolisi akupitilizabe kuphunzitsidwa zida zawo zopangidwa ndi US. Kuchokera mu 2007 mpaka 2017, okhometsa misonkho aku America adapereka pafupifupi $ 7 miliyoni yothandizira chitetezo ku MOI makamaka apolisi achiwawa - apolisi odziwika mdziko lonse omwe amathandizira kupha anthu mopanda tsankho, kuwukira kosaneneka, komanso kuwazunza akaidi. Purezidenti Donald Trump tsopano akuwonjezera mapulogalamu a MOI pambuyo poti mayunitsi alephera kuyankha Leahy Law motsogozedwa ndi Obama Administration, ndikupempha kuti pakhale pulogalamu yayikulu yamaphunziro 10 ya 2019 yomwe ikuphatikiza upangiri wa 'njira zowukira.' ”

Milley sanatchule Bahrain chifukwa cha nkhawa zanga zilizonse, komanso chifukwa sakufuna zombo zazikulu zankhondo zapadziko lonse lapansi; akufuna zochuluka kwa iwo. Koma Milley akuganiza kuti ndikokwera mtengo komanso kowopsa kuyika magulu ankhondo aku US ndi mabanja awo kumadera akutali.

Malinga ndi Military Times, Milley “akulowa nawo gulu lalikulu la akuluakulu achitetezo omwe akukayikira kufunika kokhazikitsa magulu ankhondo padziko lonse lapansi.” Kuda nkhawa kwa Milley ndikuti izi zimaika pachiwopsezo mamembala. “Ndilibe vuto ndi ife, a ife ovala yunifolomu, kukhala pangozi - izi ndi zomwe timalipira. Nayi ntchito yathu, sichoncho? ” adatero. Iyenera kukhala ntchito ya aliyense? Ngati maziko amayambitsa chidani, kodi aliyense amene sangakwanitse kukoleji ayenera kupita kukazigwiritsa ntchito kuti athandizire ogulitsa zida? Ine ndikudziwa lingaliro langa pa izo. Koma ngakhale Wapampando wa Joint frickin Chiefs a bungwe lomwe limachotsa bwino mafumu ku North America sakufunanso kuyika mabanja a anthu kumayiko akunja.

Vuto lingakhale loti okwatirana 'komanso achibale awo kusafuna kukhala m'magulu ankhanza omwe ali ndi zida zankhanza kumawononga kufunsidwa ndi kusungidwa. Ngati ndi choncho, atatu amasangalatsa mabanja! Koma ngati mabasiketi sakufunika, ndipo tikudziwa kuvulaza komwe amachita, ndipo madola aboma aku US sayenera kulipira kukhazikitsidwa kwa mini-disneyland-Little-America kumbuyo kwamakoma a Trumpish, bwanji osasiya kuchita?

Milley adanenanso za South Korea, malo ena omwe Congress zaka zaposachedwa idatsekereza mwachangu kuchotsedwa kwamphamvu konse kwamphamvu iliyonse yankhondo yaku US. Koma South Korea tsopano ili ndi boma lofunitsitsa kulimbana ndi boma la US, ndipo anthu omwe akudziwa asitikali aku US ndi zida zawo ndizomwe zimalepheretsa mtendere ndi kugwirizananso. Kuyipa kwa a Trump pankhaniyi kumatenga njira yoti South Korea ipereke ndalama zambiri pantchito yolanda ku US (mosazindikira kuti ndiopenga monga Neera Tanden akufuna kuti Libya ipereke pomenyedwa ndi bomba), koma zomwe Milley akufuna, ndizosiyana. Milley, malinga ndi AP, akuda nkhawa kuti ngati United States itha kulowa nawo nkhondo yatsopano, mamembala am'magulu ankhondo aku US adzakhala pachiwopsezo. Sakutchulidwa za mabanja omwe akukhala m'maiko a Asia. Pali kufunitsitsa kodziyikira pachiwopsezo miyoyo ya asitikali aku US. Koma mabanja a asitikali aku US - amenewo ndi omwe ali ndi vuto.

Ngakhale ngakhale chikhalidwe chochepa chofananacho chimakonda kutseka, mwina kutsegula ndi kukonza maziko kuyenera kuwonedwa mopepuka kuposa momwe atolankhani aku US amalola.

Milley amazindikira za inertia, ndipo mwina phindu ndi ndale kumbuyo kwake. Akuganiza kuti kukhala kwakanthawi kwa asitikali opanda mabanja kungakhale yankho. Koma sizochuluka kwambiri. Simalimbana ndi vuto lalikulu loyika misasa yankhondo m'maiko a wina aliyense. Silingaganizire malingaliro awanthu aku US konsekonse. Ndikanati ndiwonerere masewero pa TV ndikuuzidwa kuti asitikali ankhondo aku US akuwayang'ana kuchokera kumayiko 174 m'malo mwa 175, sindingakhumudwe, ndipo ndimangolira kuti palibe amene angazindikire. Ndikuganiza kuti momwemonso ndi 173 kapena 172. Hell, ndikadakhala wofunitsitsa kuti ndiwonere anthu aku US kuti ndi mayiko angati omwe asitikali aku US ali nawo asitikali ndikuchepetsa zenizeni kuzonse zomwe anthu amaganiza.
