Ndikufuna ndikuuzeni momwe zikhala.
Koma sindingathe. Kuneneratu kumakhala kovuta kwambiri kuposa kuchitapo kanthu, komwe kumapangitsa kuti kumvekanso bwino kwambiri kuti zakale zimapitilizabe, komanso zochepa kwambiri zam'tsogolo.
Ndangowerenga Mu The Shadows of the American Century: Rise and the Decline of US Global Power Wolemba Alfred McCoy. Ndi limodzi mwa mabuku abwinoko omwe ndawerengapo zakale kwambiri pankhani za nkhondo komanso zankhondo zaku US. Ndizabwino kwambiri pamafanizo opeka (mawu anga, osati bukulo) la chess omwe amachititsa kuganiza kwa ma impritist, pa zotsatira za kuwongolera olamulira monga ankhandwe, komanso kuzunza mabungwe achinsinsi - kuphatikiza udindo wawo wogulitsa mankhwala osokoneza bongo m'malo ngati Nicaragua ndi Afghanistan.

Koma sindikutsimikiza kuti mutu wakuchepa kwa ufumu umalumikiza zinthu zonsezi limodzi. Zikuwoneka kwa ine kuti kuzunza ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo komanso nkhondo za projito komanso chitukuko cha zida zitha kupitilira kwa zaka zambiri kapena kutha mwachangu - pokhapokha kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe komwe amachita komanso chiopsezo cha zida za nyukiliya zomwe zingakhalepo zingawononge moyo wawo.
McCoy amawona luso komanso kupambana pa nkhondo yanthawi yaku Iran-Contra mosiyana ndi kulephera koyipa pantchito yaku US yopanga opiamu ku Afghanistan. Mwina. Koma zomwe zikuchitika ku US ku Latin America zidatulutsa chigamulo cha Khothi Lapadziko Lonse, zigamulo za ndende, komanso kutsutsa kwamphamvu kwambiri kwa ufumu wa US padziko lapansi, pomwe nkhondo ya US ku Afghanistan yatulutsa kulekerera kosatha kupha anthu ndi kufa, ngakhale atakhala ndi milandu ingati.
Mu Mithunzi chikutha ndi kusanthula kwa China ngati mpikisano waku US, kuphatikiza ulemu wina wosangalatsa wa Barack Obama monga mbuye wamkulu wokana nkhondo yankhondo (ngakhale akunena kuti izi zimadza chifukwa cha demokalase ku US). McCoy akuwonetsa zonsezi ngati mpikisano wapadziko lonse ndi cholinga chofuna kupambana, ndipo akuneneratu za mtsogolo zovuta pamene ufumuwo ukutha, akunena motsimikiza kuti zonena zake ndizokhazikika pamalingaliro akuti anthu aku US "sangachite kapena sangachite kanthu pang'onopang'ono kusintha kwa malo awo padziko lonse lapansi. ”
Koma bwanji ngati iwo / ife tikanati tichite kanthu kusintha maboma athu padziko lapansi, kuphatikizapo kuyang'ana “padziko lonse lapansi”? Britain idachita bwino pochepetsa mphamvu zake, osati pang'onopang'ono kufera kwa imprisia. Ndikupangira kutsatira / kuthamangitsa buku ngati Mu Mithunzi ndi chimodzi chonga Chiyembekezo Chotsimikizika lolemba ndi a Nelson Nelson-Palmeyer pomwe anthu amawoneka kuti ali ndi mabungwe omwe angathe kuchita nawo mbali imodzi mwa demokalase pakuumba tsogolo.
Chiyembekezo Chotsimikizika ndi buku lomwe lili ndi mutu womwe umatchedwa "Riddance to empire." Inde. Ndi kupikisana bwino pakuganiza kwamfumu. Ndipo kupita kugahena ndi lingaliro loti China kukhala ndi "zazikulu" zachuma kuposa United States ndi nkhani yabwino; China yatero anthu ambiri kuposa United States! Iwo ayenera kukhala ndi chuma chochulukirapo pakupanga milungu.
Buku la a Nelson-Palmeyer likuyang'ana pa zinthu zomwe ziyenera kuchitika: kukhazikitsa njira zokhazikika, kuwongolera kuchuluka kwa anthu, kukonza ulimi, Tiyenera kuganizira, a Nelson-Palmeyer akuwonetsa, zodabwitsa - zosamveka - zabwino zomwe zitha kuchitikira anthu a United States ndi dziko lonse lapansi pokhazikitsanso ndalama zomwe zikupita kunkhondo.
Ndikufuna kuwona malingaliro enanso omwe anthu aku United States amabwera kudzazindikira zokonda zawo ndi anthu ena onse, komanso malingaliro ochepa pazomwe angachite kuti akhale apamwamba - zomwe ndikulingalira zitha kungotengera zovuta zilizonse kwa aliyense .
Chabwino chikondi ndi chikondi osati kumazirala.
