Lipoti mu Covert Action Magazine kuchokera ku dziko lodzitcha la Donetsk People's Republic ku Eastern Ukraine akufotokoza mantha aakulu a kuukira kwatsopano kwa asilikali a boma la Ukraine, pambuyo powonjezereka kwa zipolopolo, kugunda kwa drone ndi drone yopangidwa ndi Turkey ndi kuwukira kwa Staromaryevka, mudzi womwe uli mkati mwa zone yokhazikitsidwa ndi 2014-15 Minsk Mgwirizano.

Mabungwe a People's Republic of Donetsk (DPR) ndi Luhansk (LPR), omwe adalengeza kuti adziyimira pawokha potsatira kulanda boma komwe kunachitika ku Ukraine mu 2014, adakhalanso malo owonekera pa Cold War yomwe ikukulirakulira pakati pa United States ndi Russia. A US ndi NATO akuwoneka kuti akuchirikiza kwathunthu kuukira kwa boma latsopano motsutsana ndi magulu a Russia awa, omwe atha kukhala mkangano wankhondo wapadziko lonse lapansi.

Nthawi yomaliza kuti derali likhale bokosi lapadziko lonse lapansi mu Epulo, pomwe boma lodana ndi Russia la Ukraine lidawopseza kuti liukira Donetsk ndi Luhansk, ndipo Russia idasonkhana. zikwi za asilikali m'malire a kum'mawa kwa Ukraine.

Pamwambowu, Ukraine ndi NATO adaphethira ndikusiya zokhumudwitsa. Panthawiyi, Russia yasonkhanitsanso zoyerekeza Asilikali a 90,000 pafupi ndi malire ake ndi Ukraine. Kodi dziko la Russia lidzaletsanso kuwonjezereka kwa nkhondoyo, kapena kodi Ukraine, United States ndi NATO akukonzekera mwamphamvu kupita patsogolo pangozi ya nkhondo ndi Russia?

Kuyambira Epulo, US ndi ogwirizana nawo akhala akuwonjezera thandizo lawo lankhondo ku Ukraine. Pambuyo pa chilengezo cha Marichi cha $ 125 miliyoni zothandizira zankhondo, kuphatikiza mabwato oyenda m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi zida za radar, US ndiye adapereka Ukraine phukusi lina la $ 150 miliyoni mu June. Izi zikuphatikiza zida za radar, zolumikizirana ndi zida zamagetsi zankhondo yaku Ukraine Air Force, kubweretsa thandizo lankhondo lonse ku Ukraine kuyambira pomwe US ​​idawukira boma mu 2014 mpaka $ 2.5 biliyoni. Phukusi laposachedwali likuwoneka kuti likuphatikiza kutumiza anthu ophunzitsira aku US ku ma airbase aku Ukraine.

Dziko la Turkey likupatsa Ukraine ma drones omwe adapereka ku Azerbaijan pankhondo yake ndi Armenia pagawo lotsutsana la Nagorno-Karabakh mu 2020. Nkhondo imeneyo idapha anthu osachepera 6,000 ndipo yayambanso posachedwapa, patatha chaka chimodzi kuchokera pamene Russia adayimitsa nkhondo. . Ma drones aku Turkey kuwononga zinthu zambiri pa asilikali a ku Armenia ndi anthu wamba chimodzimodzi ku Nagorno-Karabakh, ndipo kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwawo ku Ukraine kungakhale kuwonjezereka koopsa kwa chiwawa kwa anthu a Donetsk ndi Luhansk.

Kuwonjezeka kwa thandizo la US ndi NATO kwa asitikali aboma pankhondo yapachiweniweni ku Ukraine kuli ndi zotsatirapo zoyipa zaukazembe. Kumayambiriro kwa Okutobala, NATO idathamangitsa maofesala asanu ndi atatu aku Russia ochokera ku Likulu la NATO ku Brussels, akuwaneneza akazitape. Pansi pa Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, manejala wa 2014 coup ku Ukraine, anatumizidwa ku Moscow mu October, mwachiwonekere kuti athetse mikangano. Nuland analephera mochititsa chidwi kuti, patangopita sabata imodzi, Russia inatha zaka 30 Chiyanjano ndi NATO, ndipo adalamula ofesi ya NATO ku Moscow kutsekedwa.

Nuland akuti adayesa kutsimikizira Moscow kuti United States ndi NATO adadziperekabe ku 2014 ndi 2015. Minsk Mgwirizano ku Ukraine, komwe kumaphatikizapo kuletsa ntchito zankhondo zonyansa komanso lonjezo la kudzilamulira kwakukulu kwa Donetsk ndi Luhansk mkati mwa Ukraine. Koma zitsimikiziro zake zidatsutsidwa ndi Secretary of Defense Austin pomwe adakumana ndi Purezidenti waku Ukraine Zelensky ku Kiev pa Okutobala 18, akubwereza. Thandizo la US kaamba ka umembala wamtsogolo wa Ukraine mu NATO, akumalonjeza chithandizo chowonjezereka chankhondo ndi kuimba mlandu Russia kaamba ka “kupititsa patsogolo nkhondo ya Kum’maŵa kwa Ukraine.”

Chodabwitsa kwambiri, koma mwachiyembekezo chopambana, chinali Mtsogoleri wa CIA William Burns ulendo ku Moscow pa Novembara 2nd ndi 3rd, pomwe adakumana ndi asitikali akuluakulu aku Russia ndi anzeru ndipo adalankhula pafoni ndi Purezidenti Putin.

Ntchito ngati iyi nthawi zambiri si gawo la ntchito za Director wa CIA. Koma a Biden atalonjeza nthawi yatsopano ya zokambirana zaku America, gulu lake lazakunja tsopano likuvomerezedwa kuti m'malo mwake labweretsa ubale wa US ndi Russia ndi China kutsika.

Kuwerengera kuyambira Marichi chokumanako wa Secretary of State Blinken ndi National Security Advisor Sullivan ndi akuluakulu aku China ku Alaska, Msonkhano wa Biden ndi Putin ku Vienna mu June, ndi Mlembi Nuland ulendo waposachedwa ku Moscow, akuluakulu aku US achepetsa kukumana kwawo ndi akuluakulu aku Russia ndi aku China kuti atsutse zomwe zidapangidwa kuti zizigwiritsidwa ntchito m'nyumba m'malo moyesera kuthetsa kusiyana kwa mfundo. Pankhani ya Nuland, adasokeretsanso anthu aku Russia za kudzipereka kwa US, kapena kusowa kwake, ku Minsk Accords. Ndiye ndani angatumize Biden ku Moscow kukakambirana ndi anthu aku Russia za Ukraine?

Mu 2002, monga Mlembi Woyang'anira Boma wa Near Eastern Affairs, William Burns analemba ndemanga koma yosatsatiridwa. 10-tsamba memo kwa Secretary of State Powell, ndikumuchenjeza za njira zambiri zomwe kuwukira kwa US ku Iraq "kungathetse" ndikupanga "mkuntho wabwino" pazokonda zaku America. Burns ndi kazembe wantchito komanso kazembe wakale waku US ku Moscow, ndipo atha kukhala membala yekhayo waulamulirowu yemwe ali ndi luso laukazembe komanso chidziwitso chomvera aku Russia ndikuchita nawo mozama.

Anthu aku Russia ayenera kuti adauza Burns zomwe adanena pagulu: kuti mfundo zaku US zili pachiwopsezo chowoloka "mizere yofiyira" zomwe zingayambitse mayankho otsimikizika komanso osasinthika aku Russia. Russia yatero anachenjeza kalekale kuti mzere umodzi wofiira udzakhala umembala wa NATO ku Ukraine ndi / kapena Georgia.

Koma pali mizere ina yofiira pagulu lankhondo la US ndi NATO mkati ndi kuzungulira Ukraine komanso pakuwonjezeka kwa asitikali aku US kwa asitikali aku Ukraine omwe akumenya Donetsk ndi Luhansk. Putin wachenjeza motsutsana ndi kumangidwa kwa zida zankhondo za NATO ku Ukraine ndipo adadzudzula Ukraine ndi NATO chifukwa chosokoneza zinthu, kuphatikiza pa Black Sea.

Asitikali aku Russia atasonkhanitsidwanso kumalire a Ukraine kachiwiri chaka chino, kuukira kwatsopano kwa Chiyukireniya komwe kukuwopseza kukhalapo kwa DPR ndi LPR kudzawoloka mzere wina wofiira, pomwe kuwonjezeka kwa US ndi NATO thandizo lankhondo ku Ukraine kungakhale koopsa pafupi kuwoloka. wina.

Ndiye Burns adabwerako kuchokera ku Moscow ali ndi chithunzi chomveka bwino cha mizere yofiira yaku Russia? Ife tinali ndi chiyembekezo chabwino chotero. Ngakhale US masamba ankhondo amavomereza kuti mfundo za US ku Ukraine "ndizobwezera." 

Katswiri waku Russia Andrew Weiss, yemwe adagwira ntchito motsogozedwa ndi William Burns ku Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, adavomereza Michael Crowley wa The New York Times kuti Russia ili ndi "ulamuliro wokulirapo" ku Ukraine ndikuti, ngati kukankha kukafika, Ukraine ndiyofunikira kwambiri ku Russia. kuposa ku United States. Chifukwa chake sizomveka kuti United States ikhale pachiwopsezo choyambitsa Nkhondo Yachitatu Yapadziko Lonse ku Ukraine, pokhapokha ngati ikufuna kuyambitsa Nkhondo Yachitatu Yapadziko Lonse.

M’kati mwa Nkhondo Yozizira, mbali zonse ziŵiri zinakulitsa kumvetsetsa bwino kwa “mizere yofiira” ya wina ndi mnzake. Pamodzi ndi chithandizo chachikulu chamwayi wosayankhula, titha kuyamika kumvetsetsa kumeneku chifukwa chopitilira kukhalapo kwathu. Chomwe chimapangitsa dziko lamasiku ano kukhala loopsa kwambiri kuposa dziko la 1950s kapena 1980s ndikuti atsogoleri aposachedwa aku US asokoneza mgwirizano wamayiko awiriwa komanso maubwenzi ofunikira omwe agogo awo adapanga kuti aletse Nkhondo Yozizira kuti isasinthe kukhala yotentha.

Purezidenti Eisenhower ndi Kennedy, mothandizidwa ndi Under Secretary of State Averell Harriman ndi ena, adachita zokambirana zomwe zidatenga maulamuliro awiri, pakati pa 1958 ndi 1963, kuti akwaniritse pang'ono. Pangano Loletsa Kuyesa kwa Nuclear Chimenechi chinali choyamba pa mapangano oletsa zida zankhondo a mayiko awiriwa. Mosiyana ndi izi, kupitiliza kokha pakati pa Trump, Biden ndi Mlembi Wansinsi Victoria Nuland kumawoneka ngati kusowa kodabwitsa komwe kumawapangitsa kuti asawone tsogolo lililonse lomwe lingathe kupitilira ziro-sum, zosakambitsirana, komanso zosatheka "US Uber Alles" padziko lonse lapansi. hegemony.

Koma anthu aku America ayenera kusamala kuti ayambe kukondana ndi Cold War "yakale" ngati nthawi yamtendere, chifukwa chakuti takwanitsa kuthana ndi chiwonongeko cha nyukiliya chomwe chidzatha padziko lonse lapansi. Omenyera nkhondo aku US aku Korea ndi Vietnam amadziwa bwino, monganso anthu akumayiko aku South South omwe adakhala mabwalo ankhondo amagazi mu nkhondo yamalingaliro pakati pa United States ndi USSR

Patatha zaka makumi atatu atalengeza kupambana mu Cold War, komanso pambuyo pa chipwirikiti chodzibweretsera cha US "Global War on Terror," okonza zankhondo aku US adakhazikika pagulu. Cold War watsopano monga chifukwa chokopa kwambiri chopititsira patsogolo nkhondo yawo ya madola thililiyoni ndi chikhumbo chawo chosatheka cholamulira dziko lonse lapansi. M'malo mopempha asitikali aku US kuti agwirizane ndi zovuta zina zatsopano zomwe sizingachitike, atsogoleri aku US adaganiza zobwereranso kunkhondo yawo yakale ndi Russia ndi China kuti atsimikizire kukhalapo komanso kuwononga ndalama zawo zopanda pake koma zopindulitsa.

Koma chikhalidwe cha Cold War ndikuti chimakhudza kuwopseza ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu, mowonekera komanso mobisa, kutsutsa zikhulupiriro zandale komanso zachuma zamayiko padziko lonse lapansi. Pampumulo wathu pakuchoka kwa US ku Afghanistan, komwe a Trump ndi a Biden adagwiritsa ntchito kuyimira "kutha kwa nkhondo yosatha," sitiyenera kukhala ndi malingaliro akuti aliyense waiwo akutipatsa m'badwo watsopano wamtendere.

M'malo mwake. Zomwe tikuyang'ana ku Ukraine, Syria, Taiwan ndi South China Sea ndizomwe zimayambira zaka zankhondo zambiri zamalingaliro zomwe zitha kukhala zopanda pake, zakupha komanso zodzigonjetsera ngati "nkhondo yachigawenga," ndi zina zambiri. zoopsa ku United States.

Nkhondo ndi Russia kapena China ikhoza kukhala pachiwopsezo cha Nkhondo Yachitatu Yapadziko Lonse. Monga Andrew Weiss adauza Times on Ukraine, Russia ndi China adzakhala ndi "ulamuliro wokulirapo," komanso kungokhala pachiwopsezo chankhondo m'malire awo kuposa momwe United States imachitira.

Ndiye United States ikanatani ngati ikuluza nkhondo yayikulu ndi Russia kapena China? Ndondomeko ya zida za nyukiliya ya US yakhala ikusunga a "kugunda koyamba" tsegulani ngati zili choncho.

US yapano $ 1.7 thililiyoni dongosolo chifukwa cha zida zatsopano za nyukiliya kotero zikuwoneka kuti zikuyankha zenizeni kuti United States sangayembekeze kugonjetsa Russia ndi China pankhondo wamba pamalire awo.

Koma chododometsa cha zida za nyukiliya nchakuti zida zamphamvu kwambiri zomwe zidapangidwapo zilibe phindu lenileni ngati zida zenizeni zankhondo, popeza kuti sipangakhale wopambana pankhondo yomwe imapha aliyense. Kugwiritsa ntchito kulikonse kwa zida za nyukiliya kungayambitse kugwiritsiridwa ntchito kwakukulu ndi mbali imodzi kapena ina, ndipo nkhondoyo idzatha posachedwapa kwa tonsefe. Opambana okha angakhale mitundu yochepa a tizilombo tosamva ma radiation ndi zolengedwa zina zazing'ono kwambiri.

Ngakhale a Obama, a Trump kapena a Biden sanayembekeze kupereka zifukwa zawo zoyika pachiwopsezo Nkhondo Yachitatu Yapadziko Lonse ku Ukraine kapena Taiwan kwa anthu aku America, chifukwa palibe chifukwa chomveka. Kuyika pachiwopsezo chakupha kwa zida zanyukiliya pofuna kusangalatsa gulu lankhondo ndikuchita misala ngati kuwononga nyengo ndi chilengedwe pofuna kusangalatsa makampani opangira mafuta.

Chifukwa chake tinali ndi chiyembekezo chabwino kuti CIA DIrector Burns sanangobwera kuchokera ku Moscow ndi chithunzi chomveka bwino cha "mizere yofiira" yaku Russia, koma kuti Purezidenti Biden ndi anzawo amvetsetsa zomwe Burns adawauza komanso zomwe zili pachiwopsezo ku Ukraine. Ayenera kubwerera mmbuyo kuchokera kumapeto kwa nkhondo ya US-Russia, kenako kuchokera ku Cold War yokulirapo ndi China ndi Russia yomwe adalowamo mopusa komanso mopusa.
