Zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi zinayi zapitazo, mu Marichi 2003. Ndinasiya kukhala kazembe wa dziko la United States kutsutsana ndi ganizo la Purezidenti Bush lolanda Iraq. Ndinalowa nawo akazembe ena awiri aku US, Brady Kiesling ndi John Brown, amene anasiya ntchito m’masabata angapo kuti ndisiye ntchito. Tidamva kuchokera kwa akazembe anzathu aku US omwe adatumizidwa ku akazembe a US padziko lonse lapansi kuti nawonso amakhulupirira kuti chigamulo cha Boma la Bush likhala ndi zotsatira zoyipa kwa nthawi yayitali ku US ndi dziko lapansi, koma pazifukwa zosiyanasiyana, palibe amene adagwirizana nafe posiya ntchito. mpaka mtsogolo. Otsutsa angapo oyambilira osiya ntchito adatiuza kuti akulakwitsa ndipo adagwirizana kuti lingaliro la boma la US loti lichite nkhondo ku Iraq linali lowopsa.

Lingaliro la US loukira Iraq pogwiritsa ntchito zida zowononga anthu ambiri komanso popanda chilolezo cha United Nations zidatsutsidwa ndi anthu pafupifupi m'maiko onse. Mamiliyoni anali m'misewu m'malikulu padziko lonse lapansi kuukirako kusanachitike kumafuna kuti maboma awo asatenge nawo gawo mu "mgwirizano wa odzipereka" waku US.

Kwa zaka makumi awiri zapitazi, Purezidenti wa Russia a Putin adachenjeza US ndi NATO momveka bwino kuti mawu omveka padziko lonse akuti "zitseko sizitsekeka kuti Ukraine ilowe mu NATO" inali yoopseza chitetezo cha dziko la Russia.

Putin adatchula mgwirizano wapakamwa wa 1990s wa olamulira a George HW Bush kuti kutsatira kutha kwa Soviet Union, NATO sidzasuntha "inchi imodzi" kufupi ndi Russia. NATO sinalembetse mayiko omwe kale anali mgwirizano wa Warsaw Pact ndi Soviet Union.

Komabe, pansi pa utsogoleri wa Clinton, US ndi NATO idayamba pulogalamu yake ya "Partnership for Peace". kuti morphed kulowa kwathunthu mu NATO mayiko akale Warsaw Pact-Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro ndi North Macedonia.

A US ndi NATO adapita patali kwambiri chifukwa cha Russian Federation ndi February 2014 kugwetsa osankhidwa, koma akuti anali achinyengo, boma lotsamira ku Russia la Ukraine, kuwonongedwa komwe kunalimbikitsidwa ndikuthandizidwa ndi boma la US. Asilikali achi Fascist adalumikizana ndi nzika wamba za ku Ukraine zomwe sizimakonda katangale m'boma lawo. Koma m’malo modikira kusanathe chaka chimodzi kuti zisankho zichitike, zipolowe zinayamba ndipo mazana anaphedwa ku Maidan Square ku Kyiv ndi achiwembu ochokera ku boma ndi magulu ankhondo.

Chiwawa cholimbana ndi mafuko a ku Russia chinafalikira kumadera ena a Ukraine ndi ambiri anaphedwa ndi magulu achifwamba Pa May 2, 2014 ku Odessa.   Anthu amitundu yambiri aku Russia omwe ali m'zigawo zakum'mawa kwa Ukraine adayamba kupanduka komwe kukunena za nkhanza kwa iwo, kusowa kwa zinthu zaboma komanso kuletsa kuphunzitsa chilankhulo cha Chirasha ndi mbiri yakale m'masukulu chifukwa cha kupanduka kwawo. Pamene asilikali a ku Ukraine alola gulu lankhondo lakumanja la Neo-Nazi Azov kukhala gawo la ntchito zankhondo zolimbana ndi zigawo zolekanitsa, gulu lankhondo la Chiyukireniya si gulu lachifasisti monga momwe boma la Russia likunenera.

The Azov nawo ndale ku Ukraine sizinachite bwino akulandira 2 peresenti yokha ya mavoti pachisankho cha 2019, ndi zochepa kwambiri kuposa zomwe zipani zina zandale zamanja zalandira pazisankho m'maiko ena aku Europe.

Mkulu wawo Nduna Yowona Zakunja Sergei Lavrov akulakwitsa kunena kuti Purezidenti waku Ukraine Zelensky atsogola boma lachifasisti lomwe liyenera kuwonongedwa monga mkulu wanga wakale Secretary of State Colin Powell adalakwitsa poyambitsa bodza loti boma la Iraq linali ndi zida zowononga anthu ambiri. chifukwa chake ayenera kuwonongedwa.

Kulanda kwa Russian Federation ku Crimea kwatsutsidwa ndi mayiko ambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Crimea inali pansi pa mgwirizano wapadera pakati pa Russian Federation ndi boma la Chiyukireniya momwe asilikali a Russia ndi zombo zinatumizidwa ku Crimea kuti apereke mwayi wopita ku Southern Fleet ku Black Sea, gulu lankhondo la Federation ku Nyanja ya Mediterranean. Mu March 2014 pambuyo pake zaka zisanu ndi zitatu za zokambirana ndi kuvota ngati anthu okhala ku Crimea amafuna kukhalabe ngati Ukraine, anthu aku Russia (77% ya anthu ku Crimea anali kulankhula Chirasha) ndipo anthu amtundu wa Chitata omwe adatsala adachita chiwembu ku Crimea ndipo adavota kuti apemphe boma la Russia kuti lilandidwe.  83 peresenti ya ovota ku Crimea adavota ndipo 97 peresenti anavota kuti alowe m’Chitaganya cha Russia. Zotsatira za plebiscite zinavomerezedwa ndikugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi Russian Federation popanda kuwombera. Komabe, mayiko apadziko lonse lapansi adapereka zilango zamphamvu motsutsana ndi Russia komanso zilango zapadera ku Crimea zomwe zidawononga bizinesi yake yapadziko lonse yoyendera alendo ochokera ku Turkey ndi mayiko ena aku Mediterranean.

Zaka zisanu ndi zitatu zotsatira kuchokera ku 2014 mpaka 2022, anthu oposa 14,000 anaphedwa mu gulu lodzipatula m'chigawo cha Donbass. Purezidenti Putin adapitilizabe kuchenjeza US ndi NATO kuti dziko la Ukraine likuphatikizidwa mu gawo la NATO likhoza kuwopseza chitetezo cha dziko la Russia. Anachenjezanso NATO za kuchuluka kwa masewera ankhondo ankhondo omwe amachitika pamalire a Russia kuphatikiza mu 2016 a nkhondo yayikulu kwambiri yokhala ndi dzina loyipa la "Anaconda", njoka yaikulu imene imapha mwa kukulunga mozimitsa nyama yake, fanizo lomwe silinatayike pa boma la Russia. New US/NATO maziko omwe anamangidwa ku Poland ndi malo a  mabatire a missile ku Romania zinawonjezera ku nkhaŵa ya boma la Russia ponena za chitetezo cha dziko lakelo.

 Chakumapeto kwa 2021 ndi US ndi NATO kunyalanyaza nkhawa ya boma la Russia pachitetezo cha dziko, adanenanso kuti "khomo silinatsekedwe kuti lilowe mu NATO" pomwe Russian Federation idayankha ndikumanga asitikali 125,000 kuzungulira Ukraine. Purezidenti Putin ndi Nduna Yowona Zakunja yaku Russia Lavrov adauza dziko lonse lapansi kuti iyi inali maphunziro akulu akulu, ofanana ndi masewera ankhondo omwe NATO ndi US adachita m'malire ake.

Komabe, m'mawu ataliatali komanso ambiri pawailesi yakanema pa February 21, 2022, Purezidenti Putin adafotokoza mbiri yakale ya Russian Federation kuphatikiza kuzindikira zigawo zodzipatula za Donetsk ndi Luhansk m'chigawo cha Donbass ngati mabungwe odziyimira pawokha ndikulengeza kuti ndi ogwirizana. . Patangotha ​​maola ochepa, Purezidenti Putin adalamula kuti asitikali aku Russia awononge Ukraine.

Kuvomereza zomwe zinachitika zaka zisanu ndi zitatu zapitazi, sikumamasula boma pakuphwanya malamulo a mayiko pamene likuukira dziko lodzilamulira, kuwononga zomangamanga ndi kupha nzika zake zikwizikwi m'dzina la chitetezo cha dziko la boma lomwe likuukira.

Ichi ndi chifukwa chake ndinasiya ku boma la US zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi zinayi zapitazo pamene olamulira a Bush adagwiritsa ntchito bodza la zida zowononga anthu ambiri ku Iraq ngati chiwopsezo ku chitetezo cha dziko la US komanso maziko oukira ndi kulanda Iraq kwa zaka pafupifupi khumi, kuwononga zazikulu. kuchuluka kwa zomangamanga ndikupha makumi masauzande aku Iraqi.

Sindinasiye ntchito chifukwa ndinkadana ndi dziko langa. Ndinasiya ntchito chifukwa ndinkaganiza kuti zisankho zimene andale osankhidwa otumikira m’boma amasankha sizinali zokomera dziko langa, anthu aku Iraq, kapena dziko lonse lapansi.

Kuchoka m'boma kutsutsana ndi chigamulo chomenyera nkhondo chomwe akuluakulu ake m'boma adapanga ndi chisankho chachikulu ... masauzande ambiri ochita ziwonetsero m'misewu ndikutseka ma TV odziyimira pawokha.

Ndili ndi akazembe aku Russia omwe akutumikira m'maofesi a 100 Russian Federation padziko lonse lapansi, ndikudziwa kuti akuyang'ana nkhani zapadziko lonse ndipo amadziwa zambiri zokhudza nkhondo yankhanza ya anthu a ku Ukraine kusiyana ndi anzawo ku Unduna wa Zakunja ku Moscow, mocheperapo. pafupifupi Russian, tsopano kuti zoulutsira mawu padziko lonse wachotsedwa mpweya ndi Intaneti wolumala.

Kwa akazembe aku Russia aja, kusankha kusiya ntchito yaukazembe waku Russia kungayambitse zowopsa kwambiri ndipo zingakhale zoopsa kwambiri kuposa zomwe ndidakumana nazo posiya ntchito yotsutsana ndi nkhondo yaku US ku Iraq.

Komabe, malinga ndi zimene ndinakumana nazo, ndingauze akazembe a ku Russia aja kuti chikumbumtima chawo chidzachotsedwa akadzasankha kusiya ntchito. Ngakhale adzasalidwa ndi ambiri omwe anali nawo akazembe akazembe, monga ndawonera, ena ambiri amavomereza mwakachetechete kulimba mtima kwawo kusiya ntchito ndikukumana ndi zotsatira za kutayika kwa ntchito yomwe adagwira mwakhama kuti apange.

Akazembe ena aku Russia akasiya ntchito, pali mabungwe ndi magulu pafupifupi m'maiko onse komwe kuli ofesi ya kazembe ya Russian Federation yomwe ndikuganiza kuti iwathandiza ndi kuwathandiza pamene akuyamba gawo latsopano la moyo wawo wopanda akazembe.

Akukumana ndi chisankho chofunika kwambiri.

Ndipo, ngati asiya, mawu awo achikumbumtima, mawu awo otsutsa, mwinamwake adzakhala choloŵa chofunika koposa m’miyoyo yawo.
