Ndi Ann Wright ndi Medea Benjamin
Zaka zinayi zapitazo, chitsutso chachikulu cha nzika komanso kugawidwa kwa nkhondo kunalepheretsa nkhondo ya ku US Syria kudziko la Syria omwe ambiri adanenapo kuti zidawopseza kwambiri. Apanso, tifunika kuimitsa kuchuluka kwa nkhondo yoopsyayi ndipo m'malo mwake tigwiritse ntchito vutoli ngati cholimbikitsana kuti tigwirizane.
Mu 2013 Pulezidenti Obama adaopsezedwa kuti alowe mmbuyo chifukwa cha kuopsa kwa mankhwala ku Ghouta, Syria yomwe inapha pakati pa 280 ndi 1,000 anthu. M'malo mwake, boma la Russia anathyola ntchito ndi bungwe la Assad la mayiko ena kuti awononge zida zake zamakono pa sitima yoperekedwa ndi US. Koma ofufuza UN inanena kuti mu 2014 ndi 2015, boma la Syria ndi zigawo za boma la Islamic zikuchita zida za mankhwala.
Tsopano, zaka zinayi pambuyo pake, mtambo wina waukulu wamtambo wapha anthu osachepera 70 m'tawuni yotchedwa Khan Sheikhoun yomwe inagonjetsedwa, ndipo Purezidenti Trump akuopseza nkhondo ya Assad.
Asilikali a ku United States ayamba kale kugwira ntchito kwambiri ku Syria. Pali za 500 Special Operations Force, 200 Rangers ndi 200 Marines yomwe ili pamenepo kuti alangize magulu osiyanasiyana akulimbana ndi boma la Syria ndi ISIS, ndipo bungwe la Trump likuganiza kuti kutumiza asilikali ena a 1,000 kukamenyana ndi ISIS. Polimbikitsa boma la Assad, boma la Russia lagwirizanitsa gulu lalikulu kwambiri la asilikali kumayiko ena kwa zaka zambiri.
Asitikali aku US ndi aku Russia amalumikizana tsiku lililonse kuti athetse malo amlengalenga kuti aphulitse bomba magawo a Syria aliyense akufuna kuwotcha. Akuluakulu ankhondo ochokera m'maiko onsewa akumana ku Turkey, dziko lomwe lawombera ndege imodzi yaku Russia ndipo imakhala ndi ndege zaku US zomwe zikuphulitsa Syria.
Kuopsa kwa mankhwalawa posachedwapa ndi nkhondo yatsopano yomwe yatenga miyoyo ya a 400,000 Syria. Ngati bungwe la Trump likufuna kupititsa patsogolo kugawidwa kwa asilikali ku US pomenyana ndi maboma a Syria ku Damasiko ndi Aleppo ndikukankhira asilikali omenyera nkhondo kuti agwire gawo la boma latsopano, chiwonongeko ndi chisokonezo-zikhoza kuwonjezeka.
Tangowonani zomwe zachitika ku US ku Afghanistan, Iraq ndi Libya. Ku Afghanistan pambuyo pa kugwa kwa a Taliban, magulu osiyanasiyana ankhondo omwe boma la US lidathandizira kuti apite ku Kabul kuti azilamulira likulu ndikumenyera kwawo maboma motsutsana pambuyo pake kwadzetsa ziwawa zomwe zikupitilira zaka 15 pambuyo pake. Ku Iraq, projekiti ya New American Century (PNAC) yomwe idatengedwa ukapolo motsogozedwa ndi Ahmed Chalabi idasokonekera ndipo a Pro-Consul a Paul-Bremer omwe adasankhidwa ku US adasokoneza dzikolo kotero kuti zidapereka mwayi kwa ISIS kuti ifalikire ku America ndende ndikukonzekera mapulani ake opangira chidziwitso ku Iraq ndi Syria. Ku Libya, kampeni yakuphulitsa bomba ku US / NATO "kuteteza anthu aku Libya" kuchokera ku Qaddafi idapangitsa kuti dziko ligawikane magawo atatu.
Kodi bomba la US ku Syria lingatitsogolere ku nkhondo yapadera ndi Russia? Ndipo ngati a US akanatha kupondereza Assad, ndani mwa magulu ambirimbiri opanduka omwe adzalandira malo ake ndipo akanatha kukhazikitsa dzikoli?
M'malo mwa mabomba ambiri, olamulira a Trump ayenera kukakamiza boma la Russia kuti lichirikize kafukufuku wa UN kuopsa kwa mankhwalawa ndi kutenga njira zolimba kuti apeze yankho lakumenyana koopsa. Mu 2013, boma la Russia linanena kuti lidzabweretsa Purezidenti Assad ku gome la zokambirana. Cholinga chimenecho chinanyalanyazidwa ndi boma la Obama, lomwe linkawona kuti akadali kotheka kuti apandu awo athandizidwe kuti awononge boma la Assad. Izi zinali zisanachitike anthu a ku Russia atapulumutsa gulu lake lachikondi Assad. Ino ndi nthawi ya Purezidenti Trump kuti agwiritse ntchito "Russia mgwirizano" kuti agwiritse ntchito njira yothetsera.
Mu 1997, National Security Advisor General HR McMaster adalemba buku lotchedwa "Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam" za kulephera kwa atsogoleri ankhondo kupereka kuwunika koona ndikuwunika kwa purezidenti ndi akuluakulu ena mu 1963-1965 patsogolo pa nkhondo ya Vietnam. A McMasters adadzudzula amuna amphamvuwa "chifukwa chodzikuza, kufooka, kufunafuna zofuna zawo ndikunyalanyaza udindo wawo kwa anthu aku America."
Kodi wina mu White House, NSC, Pentagon, kapena Dipatimenti ya boma chonde apereke Pulezidenti Trump mwatsatanetsatane wa mbiri ya nkhondo za US pazaka za 15 zapitazo ndipo zotsatira zake zowonjezera nkhondo ya US ku Syria?
General McMaster, nanga bwanji inu?
Itanani mamembala anu a US Congress (202-224-3121) ndi White House (202-456-1111) ndikufunsanso kuyankhulana kwa US ndi maboma a Syria ndi Russia kuti athetse kupha anthu.
Ann Wright ndi Colonel wa US Army Reserve wopuma pantchito komanso kazembe wakale waku US yemwe adasiya ntchito mu 2003 motsutsana ndi Nkhondo ya Bush ya Iraq. Ndiye wolemba nawo "Wosatsutsa: Mawu a Chikumbumtima."
Medea Benjamin ndi amene amapanga CODEPINK kwa Mtendere ndi wolemba mabuku angapo, kuphatikizapo Ufumu wa osalungama: Pambuyo pa US-Saudi Connection.
