Buku la Ronan Farrow Nkhondo pa Mtendere: Mapeto a Diplomacy ndi Decline of American Influence ikufotokozanso nkhani za nkhondo ya Obama-Trump ya mfundo zachilendo za US. Ngakhale bukuli likuyamba ndi kugulitsidwa ndi nkhani ya Trump kuwombera akazembe ambiri ndikusiya maudindo osakwaniritsidwa, zambiri zomwe zili mkati mwake zikuchokera kunthawi ya Trump, Obama-nthawi komanso kukokoloka kwa zokambirana za Bush ngati chinthu chosiyana ndi. malonda ankhondo ndi zida.
Kusiyanitsa pakati pa akazembe olemba ntchito omwe malingaliro awo amaloledwa kukhala ofunika pokhapokha atagwirizana ndi Pentagon ndikusawagwiritsa ntchito konse sikuli kusiyana kwakukulu momwe anthu angaganizire. Mofanana ndi kusiyana pakati pa ma drones omwe amawotcha anthu osadziwika pamene schmuck osauka amalamulidwa kukankhira batani ndi ma drones omwe amasankha nthawi yowotcha okha, funso loti kaya muli ndi akazembe likumveka modabwitsa koma lingapangitse kusiyana kwenikweni. pansi.
Farrow atha kuvomereza pang'ono ndikuwunika kwanga, koma akulemba ngati munthu yemwe amakhulupirira kuti United States imayankha ziwopsezo zaku North Korea, m'malo mobwerera, ndipo imagwira ntchito mwanzeru kuti "ikhale" zofunafuna zaku Irani za "chigawo champhamvu," m'malo moyesetsa padziko lonse lapansi. hegemony pa chilichonse.
Pamene Obama anali pulezidenti, Dipatimenti ya Boma inathandiza kuswa zolemba zonse za malonda a zida, United States inaphulitsa mayiko angapo, US ndi NATO anawononga Libya, nkhondo za drone zinabwera mwaokha ndi zotsatira zoopsa, zochitika zazikulu pa nyengo ya dziko lapansi zinawonongeka mosamala. ndipo asilikali a ku United States anafalikira ku Africa ndi Asia. Kupambana kopambana kotchedwa Iran Nuclear Agreement sikunali patsogolo paufulu wa anthu, mtendere, chilungamo, kapena mgwirizano. M'malo mwake, zinali zosafunikira komanso zopanda pake zomwe zabodza zaku US zomwe zikuwopseza zabodza kuchokera ku Iran, chikhulupiriro chomwe chingapitirire mgwirizano.
Gawo lalikulu la buku la Farrow ndi chithunzi cha Richard Holbrooke ngati wokonda kuchita misala koma wokhumudwitsidwa wolimbikitsa zokambirana zopanda usilikali. Uyu ndi Richard Holbrooke yemweyo, ndinayenera kudzikumbutsa ndekha, yemwe adauza Congress poyera kuti ntchito ya Dipatimenti ya Boma ku Afghanistan inali kuthandiza asilikali. Uyu ndi munthu yemweyo yemwe adanena kuti ngati United States itathetsa nkhondoyo, a Taliban adzagwira ntchito ndi al Qaeda zomwe zingawononge United States - panthawi imodzimodziyo kuvomereza kuti al Qaeda analibe ku Afghanistan, kuti a Taliban akanatha. zikhala zokayikitsa kugwira ntchito ndi al Qaeda, komanso kuti al Qaeda ikhoza kukonza zachiwembu kulikonse padziko lapansi, palibe chapadera chokhudza mpweya waku Afghanistan pazifukwa izi.
Atafunsidwa pamsonkhano wa Senate ya ku United States ku 2010, chaka chomwe anamwalira, zomwe ankachita padziko lapansi komanso zomwe zidzachitike ku Afghanistan, Holbrooke analephera mobwerezabwereza kuyankha. Izi zitha kufotokozera kutembenuka kwake ali pafupi kufa komanso mawu ake omaliza kwa dokotala wake wa opaleshoni: "Muyenera kuyimitsa nkhondoyi ku Afghanistan." Monga ngati dokotala wake akhoza kuchita zomwe iye anakana kuchita nawo mbali iliyonse, kapena analephera kuchitapo kanthu. Ndizovuta kulingalira Holbrooke akumenyera mtendere tikakumbukira kuti uyu ndi munthu yemweyo yemwe mu 1999 mwadala anakweza zofuna kuphatikiza zomwe Serbia sakanavomereza, kuti NATO iyambe kuphulitsa mabomba.
Chochepa chomwe tinganene ndi chakuti Holbrooke adalembedwa ntchito ngati kazembe, ntchito yomwe nthawi zina ingaphatikizepo kusankha mtendere m'malo mwa nkhondo. Ndipo palibe amene anamuloŵa m’malo. Chotero, tsopano tiyenera kuyembekezera mtendere kuchokera kwa anthu olembedwa ntchito kumenya nkhondo.
Koma lingaliro lakuti dipatimenti ya Boma tsopano ikuchita nawo kapena mpaka posachedwapa ngakhale kuchitapo kanthu pang'ono potsata mtendere ndizovuta kumeza chifukwa palibe nkhani ya moyo mkati mwa Dipatimenti ya Boma yomwe ingafanane ndi kukumana kwathu ndi moyo womwewo monga momwe unapitirizira kwa ife. WikiLeaks mu mawonekedwe a zingwe zonsezi.
Ndizosangalatsa, zowona, kuwerenga za zokhumudwitsa za omwe akufuna kupereka thandizo lachifundo koma omwe akufuna kuti awalandire sayenera kuyanjana ndi United States poyera chifukwa chakusakondedwa. Koma kufunikira kopsopsona kwa opanga nkhondo ndi zomwe taziwona pagulu. Ndipo zingwe za Dipatimenti Yaboma zimawulula bungwe lomwe likunyozetsa anthu, demokalase, mtendere, chilungamo, ndi malamulo.
Njira yothetsera vutoli si, ndikuganiza, kufuula "zabwino!" ndi kuvina pa manda a diplomacy. Ngakhale ndikuchoka panjira ndikulola ma Korea awiriwa, ndi mabwenzi ena ambiri, kuchita nawo mosavutitsidwa. Pamapeto pake, zomwe timafunikira ndikuzindikira ma diplomacy ngati chinthu chosagwirizana ndi oyambitsa nkhondo ndikusankha woyamba kuposa womaliza.
