Kutsika ndi Kugwa kwa United States

Ndi David Swanson

Ena amati dziko lidzatha ndi moto,
Ena amati mu ayezi.
Kuchokera pazomwe ndalawa zokhumba
Ndimagwirizana ndi omwe amakonda moto.
Koma ikadayenera kuwonongeka kawiri,
Ine ndikuganiza ine ndikudziwa mokwanira za chidani
Kunena kuti chiwonongeko ayezi
Komanso chachikulu
Ndipo zikanakwanira.
-Robert Frost

Pambuyo pakulankhula komwe ndidapereka sabata yathayi, mtsikana wina adandifunsa ngati kulephera kwa United States kuzungulira ndikuwopseza China kungayambitse kusakhazikika. Ndinawafotokozera chifukwa chake ndinkaganiza kuti zimenezi n’zoona. Tangoganizani ngati dziko la China linali ndi zida zankhondo m'malire a Canada ndi Mexico ndi United States ndi zombo ku Bermuda ndi Bahamas, Nova Scotia ndi Vancouver. Kodi mungamve kukhala okhazikika? Kapena mumamva china chake?

Ulamuliro wa US ukhoza kupitiriza kudziona ngati mphamvu yabwino, kuchita zinthu zomwe sizingakhale zovomerezeka kwa wina aliyense koma osafunsidwa pamene akuchitidwa ndi wapolisi wapadziko lonse - ndiko kuti, akhoza kupitiriza kusadziwona okha, kukulitsa, kufika mopitirira, ndi kugwa kuchokera mkati. Kapena imatha kuzindikira zomwe ikunena, kusintha zinthu zofunika kwambiri, kuchepetsa zankhondo, kubweza kuchuluka kwa chuma ndi mphamvu, kuyika ndalama mu mphamvu zobiriwira ndi zosowa za anthu, ndikuthetsa ufumuwo posachedwa koma mopindulitsa kwambiri. Kugwa sikungalephereke. Kugwa kapena kuyimitsidwanso sikungalephereke, ndipo pakadali pano boma la US likusankha njira yopita ku wakale.

Tiyeni tiwone zingapo mwa zizindikiro.

KULEPHERA DEMOKRASI

United States iphulitsa mayiko m'dzina la demokalase, komabe ili ndi imodzi mwazinthu zochepa kwambiri za demokalase komanso zocheperako zomwe mayiko amadzitcha okha demokalase. US ili ndi ovotera otsika kwambiri tsatira pakati pa olemera, ndi otsika kuposa mayiko ambiri osauka. Chisankho chikuyandikira chaka chamawa ndi opikisana nawo otsogola ochokera m'mafumu awiri olemekezeka. Dziko la United States siligwiritsa ntchito zoyeserera zapagulu kapena ma referendamu monga momwe maiko ena amachitira, kotero kuti chiwerengero chake chochepa cha ovota (oposa 60% ya ovota oyenerera osankha kusavota mu 2014) ndichofunika kwambiri. Demokalase yaku US ilinso ndi demokalase yocheperako kuposa ma demokalase ena olemera potengera momwe amagwirira ntchito mkati, ndi munthu m'modzi yemwe amatha kuyambitsa nkhondo.

Kuchepa kwa kutenga nawo gawo kwa anthu sikumakhala chifukwa chokhutitsidwa ndi kuzindikira zakatangale, kuphatikiza zolepheretsa zotsutsana ndi demokalase kuti atenge nawo mbali. Kwa zaka tsopano 75% mpaka 85% ya anthu aku US akhala akunena kuti boma lawo lasweka. Ndipo mwachiwonekere gawo lalikulu la kumvetsetsa kumeneko likugwirizana ndi dongosolo la ziphuphu zovomerezeka zomwe zimapereka ndalama za chisankho. Kuvomerezedwa ndi Congress kwakhala pansi pa 20% ndipo nthawi zina pansi pa 10% kwa zaka zambiri. Chidaliro ku Congress chili pa 7% ndikugwa mwachangu.

Posachedwapa munthu, akuyembekezera kuti ntchito yake itachepa, chafika pang'ono njinga-helicopter ku US Capitol kuyesa kupereka zopempha kuyeretsa ndalama mu chisankho. Adatchulanso zomwe zidamulimbikitsa "kugwa kwa dziko lino." Mwamuna wina adawonekera ku US Capitol ndi chikwangwani cholembedwa "Tax the 1%" ndipo adadziwombera m'mutu. Mavoti akuwonetsa kuti si anthu awiri okha omwe amawona vutoli - ndipo, ziyenera kudziwidwa, yankho.

Zachidziwikire, "demokalase" yaku US ikugwira ntchito mobisa kwambiri ndi mphamvu zowunikira. The World Justice Project tithe United States pansi pa mayiko ena ambiri m'magulu awa: Malamulo ofalitsidwa ndi deta ya boma; Ufulu wodziwa zambiri; Kutengapo gawo kwa nzika; ndi njira zodandaulira.

Boma la US pakali pano likuyesetsa kuvomereza, mwachinsinsi, Trans-Pacific Partnership, yomwe imapatsa mphamvu mabungwe kuti athetse malamulo okhazikitsidwa ndi boma la US.

KUKHALA CHUMA

Dongosolo la ndale lolamulidwa ndi chuma likhoza kukhala lademokalase ngati chuma chikagaŵidwa mofanana. Tsoka ilo, United States ili ndi a kusiyana kwakukulu chuma chochuluka kuposa pafupifupi mtundu uliwonse padziko lapansi. Ma mabiliyoni mazana anayi aku US ali ndi ndalama zambiri kuposa theka la anthu aku United States ataphatikizidwa, ndipo 400 awo amakondweretsedwa chifukwa cha izi m'malo mochita manyazi. Ndi United States kutsata maiko ambiri pakufanana kwa ndalama, vutoli likungokulirakulira. The 10th dziko lolemera kwambiri padziko lapansi pa munthu aliyense samawoneka wolemera mukamayendetsa. Ndipo muyenera kuyendetsa, ndi 0 mailosi a njanji yothamanga kwambiri yomangidwa. Ndipo muyenera kusamala mukayendetsa. American Society of Civil Engineers imapatsa US zomangamanga D+. Madera amizinda ngati Detroit asanduka bwinja. Malo okhalamo alibe madzi kapena ali ndi poizoni chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe - nthawi zambiri kuchokera kunkhondo.

Pakatikati pa malonda aku US pawokha ndikuti, chifukwa cha zolakwika zake zonse zimapereka ufulu ndi mwayi. M'malo mwake, imatsata mayiko ambiri aku Europe pakuyenda kwachuma, kudziyesa okha bwino, ndi masanjidwe 35th mwaufulu wosankha zochita ndi moyo wanu, malinga ndi Gallup, 2014.

ZINTHU ZONSE ZONSE

United States ili ndi 4.5 peresenti ya chiŵerengero cha anthu padziko lapansi ndipo amawononga 42 peresenti ya ndalama zogulira chithandizo chamankhwala chapadziko lonse, komabe Achimereka ali ndi thanzi lochepa poyerekezera ndi okhala pafupifupi m’maiko ena olemera ndi ochepa osaukanso. Mayiko aku US 36th mu chiyembekezo cha moyo ndi 47th popewa kufa kwa makanda.

A US amawononga ndalama zambiri pazachigawenga ndipo ali ndi umbanda wambiri, komanso Zambiri Mfuti imfa kuposa mayiko ambiri, olemera kapena osauka. Izi zikuphatikiza kuwomberana kwa apolisi aku US komwe kumapha pafupifupi 1,000 pachaka, poyerekeza ndi manambala amodzi m'maiko osiyanasiyana akumadzulo.

US ikubwera 57th pantchito, imatsutsana ndi mayendedwe adziko lapansi popereka chitsimikizo chatchuthi cholipidwa cha makolo kapena tchuthi, ndi njira in maphunziro by zosiyanasiyana miyeso. United States, komabe, ikutsogolera njira yoika ophunzira m'ngongole chifukwa cha maphunziro awo mpaka $1.3 thililiyoni, gawo lavuto lalikulu la maphunziro. ngongole yaumwini.

United States ndi #1 ngongole ku mayiko ena, kuphatikizapo boma ngongole, ngakhale #3 pa munthu. Monga ena achitira anafotokoza, dziko la US likutsika potengera malonda a kunja, ndipo mphamvu ya dola ndi kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwake monga ndalama zapadziko lonse lapansi zikukayikira.

DZIWANI M'MAGANIZO OCHULUKA KUNJA

Kumayambiriro kwa 2014 panali nkhani zachilendo za a Gallup kusankhidwa kwa 2013 kusankhidwa chifukwa pambuyo pa kuvota m’maiko 65 ndi funso lakuti “Kodi mukuganiza kuti ndi dziko liti limene likuopseza kwambiri mtendere padziko lapansi lerolino?” wopambana kwambiri anali United States of America. M'malo mwake, United States ndiyopanda mowolowa manja ndi thandizo koma ndizovuta kwambiri ndi mabomba ndi zida zoponya kuposa maiko ena ndi mayendedwe momwe zimakhalira dziko lonse lapansi.

United States imatsogolera njira kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe, kutsata China kokha mpweya wa carbon dioxide koma pafupifupi katatu utsi waku China ukayezedwa pa munthu aliyense.

Wolamulira wankhanza wachiwiri wothandizidwa ndi US ku Yemen m'zaka zingapo zapitazi tsopano wathawira ku Saudi Arabia ndipo adapempha kuti dziko lake liphulitsidwe ndi zida za US, dziko lomwe lili m'chipwirikiti chifukwa cha nkhondo ya US drone yapereka chithandizo chodziwika ku chitsutso chachiwawa. ku US ndi antchito ake.

ISIS idapanga filimu ya mphindi 60 yodziwonetsa ngati mdani wamkulu wa US ndipo ikupempha US kuti iukire. US idatero ndipo ntchito yake idakwera kwambiri.

United States imakondedwa ndi maboma ankhanza ku Egypt komanso kuzungulira derali, koma osati chifukwa chothandizidwa ndi anthu ambiri.

CHISINDIKIZO CHIFUKWA CHAKE

United States ndi kutali ndi kutali wogulitsa ndi wopereka zida kudziko lapansi; amene amawononga ndalama zambiri pazankhondo zake, ndipo ndalama zomwe zakwera mpaka pano zakwera pafupifupi $1.3 thililiyoni pachaka, pafupifupi zofanana ndi dziko lonse lapansi; wolanda dziko lonse ndi asilikali pafupifupi mayiko ena onse; ndi atsogoleri ankhondo ndi oyambitsa nkhondo.

United States nayonso, kutali ndi kutali, ndi mtsogoleri m'ndende, ndi anthu ochulukirapo komanso kuchuluka kwa anthu otsekeredwa kuposa nthawi ina iliyonse kapena malo ena, komanso ndi anthu ochulukirapo omwe ali paparole ndi mayeso komanso olamulidwa ndi ndende. dongosolo. Anthu ambiri aku Africa-America atsekedwa kuposa akapolo nkhondo yapachiweniweni yaku US isanachitike. US mwina ndiye malo oyamba komanso okhawo padziko lapansi pomwe ambiri omwe amachitiridwa nkhanza ndi amuna.

Ufulu wachibadwidwe ukutha mofulumira. Kuyang'anira kukukula kwambiri. Ndipo zonse m'dzina lankhondo losatha. Koma nkhondozo n’zogonja kosatha, zikubala adani m’malo mwa phindu lililonse. Nkhondozo zimapatsa mphamvu ndikupanga adani, zimalemeretsa mayiko omwe akuchita nawo ndalama zopanda chiwawa, ndikupatsa mphamvu opindula pankhondo kuti akankhire nkhondo zambiri. Zofalitsa zabodza zankhondo zimalephera kulimbikitsa usilikali kunyumba, motero boma la US limatembenukira kwa asitikali (kupangitsa kuti pakhale zovuta zina zankhondo zambiri) ndi ma drones. Koma ma drones amalimbikitsa kupangika kwa chidani ndi adani mokulirapo, kubweretsa kubweza komwe posachedwa kudzaphatikizanso kubweza pogwiritsa ntchito ma drones - omwe opindula pankhondo aku US akutsatsa padziko lonse lapansi.

KUKANIRA KUKULA

Kukaniza ufumu sikungobwera m’njira ya ufumu wolowa m’malo. Zitha kutenga mawonekedwe achiwawa komanso osagwirizana ndi zankhondo, kukana chuma kuti agwiritse ntchito, komanso mgwirizano wapagulu kuti atukule dziko. Pamene Iran akudandaula India, China, ndi Russia kutsutsa kukula kwa NATO, sikuti ndikulota za ufumu wapadziko lonse lapansi kapena ngakhale nkhondo yozizira, koma kukana NATO. Pamene mabanki amanena za Yuan idzalowa m'malo mwa dola, izi sizikutanthauza kuti China ibwereza Pentagon.

Njira yamakono ya US ikuwopseza kugwa osati United States yokha koma dziko lonse m'njira ziwiri kapena ziwiri: nyukiliya kapena apocalypse ya chilengedwe. Mitundu yamagetsi obiriwira ndi antimilitarism zimapanga kukana njira iyi. Mtundu waku Costa Rica wopanda asitikali, 100% mphamvu zongowonjezedwanso, komanso wokhala pamwamba pa chisangalalo ndi mtundu winanso wokana. Kumapeto kwa 2014, Gallup sanayerekezenso kufunsa kuti ndi dziko liti lomwe likuwopseza kwambiri mtendere koma adafunsa ngati anthu angamenye nkhondo. M’maiko ambiri unyinji waukulu unanena kuti Ayi, ayi.

United States ikukula yokhayokha pothandizira kukhazikitsidwa kwankhondo. Chaka chatha mayiko 31 aku Latin America ndi Caribbean analengeza kuti sakanagwiritsa ntchito nkhondo. Thandizo la US kunkhondo za Israeli lasiya kukhala lokha komanso kutsutsana ndi kampeni yomwe ikukula yomenyera ufulu, kuthawa kwawo, ndi zilango. Dziko la United States likudziwidwa kuti ndi loipa, chifukwa ndilokhalo lokha kapena lotsala pang’ono kukhazikika pa pangano la ufulu wa mwana, pangano la migodi ya nthaka, pangano la ufulu wa zachuma, chikhalidwe, ndi chikhalidwe, International Criminal Court, ndi zina zotero. .

Mayiko aku Latin America akulimbana ndi United States. Ena asiya maziko ake ndikusiya kutumiza ophunzira ku School of the Americas. Anthu akuchita ziwonetsero m'mabwalo a US ku Italy, South Korea, England, komanso ku maofesi a kazembe aku US ku Philippines, Czech Republic, Ukraine. Makhothi aku Germany akuimbidwa mlandu woti akutenga nawo mbali pankhondo za drone zaku US. Makhothi aku Pakistan adzudzula akuluakulu a CIA.

EXEPTIONALISM PA ZINTHU

Lingaliro lazachilendo zaku America sizovuta kwambiri monga momwe anthu aku US alili. Ngakhale US ikutsatira mayiko ena mumiyeso yosiyanasiyana yaumoyo, chisangalalo, maphunziro, mphamvu zokhazikika, chitetezo chachuma, chiyembekezo cha moyo, ufulu wachibadwidwe, kuyimira demokalase, ndi mtendere, komanso pomwe ikuyika zolemba zatsopano zankhondo, kutsekeredwa m'ndende, kuyang'anira, ndi chinsinsi, anthu ambiri aku America amaganiza kuti izi ndi zachilendo kwambiri kotero kuti akhululukire zochita zamitundu yonse zomwe zili zosavomerezeka mwa ena. Mowonjezereka izi zimafuna kudzinyenga mwadala. Kudzinyenga kochulukira kukulephera.

Pamene Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ananena kuti dziko limene chaka ndi chaka likupitiriza kuwononga ndalama zambiri pa zankhondo kusiyana ndi kupititsa patsogolo ntchito za anthu, likuyandikira imfa yauzimu, iye sanatichenjeze. Anali kuchenjeza makolo athu ndi agogo athu. Ndife akufa.

Kodi tingatsitsimutsidwe?
