Iye ali zonse "Ubale wake waukulu" ndi Purezidenti wa ku Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, wovomerezeka wodziwika ndi kupha anthu ambiri. Iye ali adalira kuti inali "mwayi waukulu ndi mwayi" kulengeza Purezidenti Purezidenti Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, posakhalitsa pambuyo poti azondiwo adayimilira ndikuyang'ana pamene zigawenga zake zidagonjetsa otsutsa otsala kunja kwa ambassy wa ku Turkey, DC
Ndipo zonse zinatengera Trump kuti tithetse Wolamulira wankhanza wa ku North Korea, Kim Jong-un, yemwe ali ndi udindo wozunzidwa, womwe unachititsa imfa ya wophunzira wa koleji wa ku America, Otto Warmbier, adafuna kuti Kim awakane: "Amandiuza kuti sakudziwa ndipo ndikumugwira . "Masomphenya a Trump a Kim, amene amatsogolera kupha anthu Ulamuliro, ukhoza kusokonezeka ndi mfundo yakuti atsogoleri awiri, Mawu a Trump, "Adagwidwa m'chikondi."
Zosakayikitsa: Trump akuyimira ngozi yowoneka ndi yowona ku chitetezo cha dziko la United States. Komabe ndondomeko yachilendo ndi chimodzi mwa zifukwa zambiri Trump wapatsa mtunduwo, makamaka anthu omwe amapita patsogolo, akufuna kuti achoke pantchito. Gulu lolimbikitsa anthu RootsAction adayambitsa chiwerengero chokula za nkhani zachinyengo (chidziwitso cha Pulezidenti chowonjezera cha malamulo a dziko ladzidzidzi kumanga khoma la malire ndi khumi ndi zisanu ndi zitatu), zambiri zomwe sizikugwirizana ndi chisankho cha Russian mu chisankho cha 2016 kapena china chilichonse chomwe chikuyembekezera.
"Akuyenera kuti apemphedwe mwamsanga," akutero David Swanson, wotsogolera ntchito The Progressive. "Iye ali pangozi kwa nyengo ya Dziko lapansi. Iye ali pangozi yopewera nkhondo ya nyukiliya. Sitidzakhala ndi moyo ngati mtundu umene ukupitilira njira iyi. Sitingathe kuyembekezera zaka ziwiri kapena zinayi kuti tipeze wina. "
Zotsatira za RootsAction zikuphatikizapo: kuphwanya malamulo otsutsana ndi pulezidenti, kulimbikitsa nkhanza, kusokoneza chifukwa cha chipembedzo, kuopseza mwachinyengo ndi kuchititsa nkhondo, kulekanitsa ana ochokera m'mayiko ena mwachangu kuchokera kwa makolo awo, kugwiritsa ntchito molakwa mphamvu zake zakukhululukira, kuwonongera misonkho, kuwombera ufulu zofalitsa, ndi kuzunza milandu.
Zonsezi ndi zifukwa zomveka; John Nichols, mwa iye zolemba m'magazini ino kuitana kuti nsalu ikhale pansi pa Trump, ikubwera ndi ena ochepa. Komanso, pali zinthu zomwe zinawoneka kuchokera pamene tinapitilira. [Chiyani kuti muwone chomwe iwo ali? Tinalemba mndandanda!] Trump ndi moto woyenda moto. Akuyenera kuzimitsidwa-mwachidziwitso komanso mosasamala, ndithudi.
Koma pali malo amodzi omwe akuyenera kukumbukira zolemba zakale: Ngakhale koloko yosweka imakhala kawiri patsiku. Posachedwa, Trump wotchedwa chifukwa cha kuchotsedwa kwa asilikali a US ku Syria ndi Afghanistan, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti anthu azidandaula ndi gulu la ndale, kuphatikizapo a Democrats ambiri.
Senemaatrice Cory Booker, woimira boma la Democratic Presidential aspirant ku New Jersey, anaphulika izi ndizo "zopanda pake komanso zoopsa," akuwonjezera kuti, "Njirayi yowonekera kunja kwa usiku ikuwonetsa gulu la Pulezidenti lokhazikitsa chitetezo, mantha ndi chisokonezo pakati pa ogwirizana athu, ndi ngozi zomwe zimapweteka kwambiri kuyesetsa kwathu kuti tigonjetsedwe kwa ISIS . "
Ena akuthamanga pa Dipatimenti ya Democrat kuti idzalowe m'malo mwa Trump-kuphatikizapo Asenema Kamala Harris wa California, Elizabeth Warren wa ku Massachusetts, Amy Klobuchar wa ku Minnesota, Kirsten Gillibrand wa New York, ndi Bernie Sanders wa Vermont onse adanena kuti akuthandizira cholinga cha asilikali kusiya monga momwe Trump yasonyezera kupitilira.
Otsatirawa amaletsa nkhaŵa zenizeni-komabe amanda onse omwe amapeza zifukwa zopitilira nkhondo. Kuchotsedwa kwa asilikali a US ku Syria ndi Afghanistan sikudzachitika ngati tipitiriza kuganizira zifukwa zomwe siziyenera kuchitika. Kodi pali wina amene akuganiza kuti asilikali athu ndi makina opha anthu akukonza bwino?
Swanson, yemwe ndi mkulu wa gululi, anati: "Ndatumizira asilikali ku Siriya asanalowemo," adatero Swanson. World BEYOND War. "Ndipo ngati Trump ikuchita ngati akufuna kuchita, akufunikira kulimbikitsidwa, ndipo ndamulimbikitsa. Ndizoopsa, lingaliro loti mumasankha phwando kapena umunthu ndikuwonetsa kuti zonse zomwe amachita ndizolakwika, ngakhale atachita zomwe mukuganiza kuti n'zolondola. "
Swanson akuti progressives ayenera kukhala okonzeka kumamatira ku zikhulupiliro zawo, ngakhale Trump akuvomereza ndipo a Democrats samatero, ndipo akuyembekeza kuti Trump adzapereka zambiri kuposa kungolankhula.
"Ndikuyang'ana ndondomeko yabwino, sindikufuna ankhondo kuti azilambira, "akutero. "Sindikusamala ngati wina amachita chinthu choyenera pa zifukwa zolakwika. Ngati atulutsa asilikali kuchokera ku Siriya, sindikuyembekezera kudziwa chifukwa chake. Uyu ndi munthu yemwe akhoza kudzitsutsa yekha katatu mu mphindi imodzi. Kotero sindikusamala kwambiri kuti ndipeze zomwe zili mu mtima mwake, ngati pali chinthu choterocho. Ndikufuna US kuchoka ku Syria. "
Kumayambiriro kwa chaka chino, alangizi akuluakulu a chitetezo cha dziko la Trump adapereka nkhani ku Congress komwe iwo mosemphana kutsutsana Purezidenti akuganiza mozama za dziko limene akugwira ntchito. Ayi, iwo anati, North Korea sasiya kukhala nuclear nyukiliya. ISIS sanagonjetsedwe ku Syria. Iran ikutsatira ndondomeko ya chipangano cha nyukiliya chamayiko omwe Trump anasiya. Russia ikupitirizabe kuyesa kuwononga demokarase yathu. Kusintha kwa nyengo kukuchitikadi ndipo akuyika mtunduwu pachiswe.
Trump, mwatsatanetsatane, adayankha mwatsatanetsatane kwa aphungu ake, tweeting "Iwo akulakwitsa!" Ndi "Mwinamwake Nzeru iyenera kubwereranso ku sukulu!" Patapita nthawi, iye ankadzinenera iwo anali "osayesedwa kwathunthu" -kuchitira umboni komwe iwo amapereka kumsonkhanowo kumakhala pa C-SPAN.
Pansi pa Trump, malonjezano ochepetsa chiopsezo cha nkhondo ya nyukiliya ndi kuthana ndi vuto la kutentha kwa nthaka atayidwa panja pazenera.
Swanson akuti: "Zomwe ndikuda nkhawa kwambiri ndi nyukiliya yakuwonongeka ndi mavuto a nyengo, ndipo akusowa njira zowonjezera mavuto onsewa," adatero Swanson. "Iye wawonjezereka, mwachisawawa, nkhondo iliyonse yomwe iye walandira. Iye adachulukitsa kuphedwa kwa drone. Iye wamanga zowonjezera zambiri. Iye akuyang'anitsitsa kufalikira kwina kwa NATO, ngakhale kuti nthawi zonse amatsutsa mfundo zake zosayenerera [za izo]. "
Apanso, nkoyenera kukumbukira kuti chifukwa Trump ikutsutsa chinachake ndipo Democrats ali makamaka pa izo, sizikutanthauza kuti ndi zabwino.
"NATO imaphatikizapo magawo atatu pa milandu ya nkhondo padziko lapansi, ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi asilikali ake," akutero Swanson, pofotokoza kuti zimapangitsa kuti mayiko onse a United States asagwirizane. "Ndizoopseza mtendere padziko lapansi."
Kulankhula zaopseza mtendere padziko lapansi: Trump. Sikuti adangopitiliza kuitanitsa asilikali a US ku Syria ndi Afghanistan kuopsezedwa Kulolera ku Congressional kusuntha kukakamiza kutha kwa thandizo la US ku nkhondo ya Saudi Arabia ku Yemen. Mu February, Nyumba wadutsa Mphamvu Zaukhondo chisankho akuyitanitsa kuchotsedwa kwa mabungwe ankhondo a United States kuchokera ku nkhondo ku Republic of Yemen, makamaka kudzudzula Saudi Arabia Kupha wa mtolankhani Jamal Khashoggi, yemwe Trump ali bwino.
Zikuwoneka kuti nthawi iliyonse imene aliyense akufuna kusiya kugawidwa mopanda pake, pali vuto.
Andrew Bacevich, katswiri wamkulu wa asilikali yemwe wapuma pantchito mabuku ambiri pa mbiri ya nkhondo ya US ndi ndondomeko yachilendo ndipo panopa ndi pulofesa ku Boston University, adalankhula posachedwa ndi The Progressive za ndondomeko yachilendo ya Trump, monga momwe ilili.
"Trump sanagwirizane ndi dziko lonse lapansi ndipo ndizosadziwika bwino momwe dziko lapansi likugwiritsira ntchito, kuphatikizapo malonda," adatero Bacevich. "Iye adayandikana ndi akuluakulu omwe sankadalira pang'ono. Iye ndi munthu amene safuna uphungu. "
Pakadali pano, zoipa kwambiri. Koma, Bacevich akupitiriza, "Pali nkhani zomwe ndikuganiza kuti chikhalidwe chake chingakhale chowoneka-ngati chingatanthauzidwe mu ndondomeko zoyenerera bwino. Mwachindunji, chibadwa chake kuti achepetse kuchuluka kwa ntchito za usilikali za US ndi nkhondo ya US kuzungulira dziko lonse lapansi. Akuwoneka kuti akuganiza kuti pali chinthu cholakwika kwambiri ndi njira yokhudzana ndi chitetezo chadziko chomwe chimatitsogolera kuti tigwire nawo nkhondo zopanda malire, komanso amatipeza ife tikugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zochulukirapo poteteza. Ndipo ndimagwirizana nawo. "
Lembani mzere, miniti yadutsa ndipo koloko yathyoledwanso kachiwiri. Pali, Bacevich akuti, "palibe umboni wakuti akhoza kutanthauzira chikhalidwechi mu china chilichonse chogwirizana. Choncho pambali imeneyi muyenera kumuyesa ngati akulephera. "
Komabe Bacevich amakhulupirira kuti zotsatira za nthawi yaitali za ndondomeko za Trump zosagwirizana ndi dziko lachilendo sizingakhale zabwino ngati anthu ambiri amakhulupirira. "Pulezidenti adzasiya ntchito posachedwa kapena mtsogolo, ndipo ndikuganiza kuti tidzakhala ngati mphamvu zopambana zomwe nthawi zina zimachita zinthu zopusa." Malankhulidwe ndi zochita za kayendedwe kena sizidzasintha.
"Ndikuganiza tsopano ndizosangalatsa kuti mitundu ina imatenga zomwe Trump akunena ndikuchita ndi mchere," adatero Bacevich. "Iwo amamvetsa kuti mnyamatayo ndi chinachake cha buffoon choncho sichiyenera kutengedwa mozama. Ayenera kumvetsera kwambiri zomwe zida zachitetezo za dziko zanenedwa komanso zogwira ntchito kuposa zomwe a Purezidenti wanena ndi kuchita. Chifukwa awona kuti zomwe akunena sizikutanthauzira zambiri. "
Ndipo izi zimapangitsa kuti anthu apite patsogolo kuti apite kudziko labwino komanso labwino. Pambuyo poti Trump ikugonjetsedwa-njira imodzi, ndikuyembekeza kuti posakhalitsa-United States idzakhalabe dziko lokondweretsa lomwe lingaliro lawo lachilendo likuyendetsedwa ndi mabungwe amtundu wankhanza, makamaka ndi thandizo la bipartisan. Tidzakhala tikulowetsedwanso mu mabomba kuti mabomba ambiri komanso kuphana sikungathetse. Tidzakhala tikukumana ndi mavuto a chilengedwe.
Tiyenera kupitiliza chigamulo cha demokarase, chifukwa cha ndondomeko yowonongeka, yachiyanjano ndi chilungamo, komanso chifukwa cha chidziwitso cha makhalidwe omwe tikufunikira kuti tipeze njira yopita patsogolo.
