Wolemba Daniel Ellsberg, Maloto Amodzi, January 9, 2021
Nthawi zonse ndimadandaula kuti sindinachite zambiri kuti ndisiye nkhondo ndi Vietnam. Tsopano, ndikuyitanitsa olankhula mluzu kuti apite patsogolo ndikuulula zolinga za a Trump
Kulimbikitsa kwa Purezidenti Trump za ziwawa za zigawenga komanso kukhala ku Capitol kukuwonetsa kuti palibe malire pakugwiritsa ntchito molakwika mphamvu zomwe angachite m'milungu iwiri ikubwerayi akadali paudindo. Zoyipa monga momwe adachitira Lachitatu, ndikuwopa kuti angayambitse china chake chowopsa kwambiri m'masiku angapo otsatira: nkhondo yomwe adayifuna kwa nthawi yayitali. Iran.
Kodi n’kutheka kuti iye angakhale wopusitsa kwambiri mpaka kuganiza kuti nkhondo yoteroyo ingakhale yothandiza dziko kapena dera kapenanso zofuna zake zanthaŵi yochepa? Khalidwe lake komanso malingaliro ake sabata ino komanso miyezi iwiri yapitayi amayankha funsoli.
Ndikulimbikitsa kuyimba mluzu molimba mtima lero, sabata ino, osati miyezi kapena zaka kuchokera pano, mabomba atayamba kugwa. Kungakhale mchitidwe wokonda kwambiri dziko lanu m'moyo wonse.
Kutumizidwa sabata ino ya B-52 yoyenda mozungulira kuchokera ku North Dakota kupita ku gombe la Iran - ulendo wachinayi woterewu m'milungu isanu ndi iwiri, imodzi kumapeto kwa chaka - pamodzi ndi kulimbikitsa kwake asilikali a US m'derali, ndi chenjezo. kwa Iran kokha koma kwa ife.
Pakati pa mwezi wa Novembala, ndegezi zitayamba, Purezidenti adayenera kukanidwa pamlingo wapamwamba kwambiri kuti atsogolere kuukira kosayembekezereka kwa zida zanyukiliya zaku Iran. Koma kuukira "kokhumudwitsidwa" ndi Iran (kapena magulu ankhondo ku Iraq ogwirizana ndi Iran) sikunathetsedwe.
Mabungwe ankhondo aku US ndi anzeru nthawi zambiri, monga ku Vietnam ndi Iraq, amapereka zidziwitso zabodza kwa apurezidenti omwe amapereka zifukwa zoukira adani athu. Kapena anenapo zochita mobisa zomwe zingapangitse adaniwo kuti ayankhe zomwe zingapangitse US "kubwezera".
Kuphedwa kwa Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, wasayansi wamkulu wa zida za nyukiliya ku Iran, mu Novembala mwina cholinga chake chinali choputa. Ngati ndi choncho, zalephera mpaka pano, monganso kuphedwa kwa General Suleimani chaka chapitacho.
Koma nthawi yatsala pang'ono kupanga kusinthana kwa ziwawa ndi machitidwe omwe atsekereza kuyambiranso kwa mgwirizano wa nyukiliya wa Iran ndi oyang'anira omwe akubwera a Biden: cholinga choyambirira osati cha Donald Lipenga koma mwa ogwirizana omwe adathandizira kubweretsa pamodzi miyezi yaposachedwa, Israel, Saudi Arabia ndi UAE.
Zikuoneka kuti zingatenge zambiri kuposa kupha munthu payekha kuti apangitse dziko la Iran kuti liziyika pachiwopsezo chotsimikizira kuwukira kwakukulu kwa ndege Trump asanachoke. Koma asitikali aku US komanso ogwira ntchito zobisika ali pantchito yoyesera kuthana ndi vutoli, panthawi yake.
Ndinali wowonera nawonso za kukonzekera koteroko ndekha, ponena za Vietnam zaka zana zapitazo. Pa 3 September 1964 - patangotha mwezi umodzi nditakhala wothandizira wapadera kwa mlembi wothandizira wa chitetezo cha mayiko a chitetezo, John T McNaughton - memo inabwera pa desiki langa ku Pentagon yolembedwa ndi abwana anga. Ananenanso kuti kuchitapo kanthu "mwina kungachititse kuti asilikali a DRV [North Vietnam] ayankhe ... zomwe zingatipatse zifukwa zabwino kuti tichuluke ngati tikufuna".
Zochita zotere "zomwe zingapangitse dala kupangitsa kuti a DRV achite" (sic), monga momwe adanenera masiku asanu pambuyo pake ndi mnzake wa McNaughton ku dipatimenti ya boma, wothandizira mlembi wa boma William Bundy, atha kuphatikizapo "kuyendetsa maulendo apanyanja aku US omwe akuyandikira kwambiri Mphepete mwa nyanja ya kumpoto kwa Vietnamese" - mwachitsanzo, kuwathamangitsa m'mphepete mwa nyanja ya makilomita 12 kumpoto kwa Vietnamese adati: pafupi ndi gombe ngati n'koyenera, kuti ayankhe zomwe McNaughton anatcha "kufinya kwathunthu ku North Vietnam [pang'onopang'ono. kampeni yophulitsa mabomba]", yomwe ingatsatire "makamaka ngati sitima yaku US idamizidwa".
Sindikukayika kuti kukonzekera mwadzidzidzi kotereku, motsogozedwa ndi Oval Office, kudzutsa, ngati kuli koyenera, chifukwa chomenyera Iran pomwe utsogoleriwu udakalipo pakali pano, m'malo otetezedwa ndi makompyuta ku Pentagon, CIA ndi White House. . Izi zikutanthauza kuti pali akuluakulu m'mabungwe amenewo - mwina m'modzi atakhala pa desiki langa lakale ku Pentagon - omwe adawona pamakompyuta awo otetezedwa bwino kwambiri monga ma memo a McNaughton ndi Bundy omwe adakumana ndi desiki langa mu Seputembala 1964.
Ndikunong’oneza bondo kuti sindinakope ndi kutumiza ma memo amenewo ku komiti yoona za ubale wakunja mu 1964, m’malo mwa zaka zisanu pambuyo pake.
Ndidzanong'oneza bondo nthawi zonse kuti sindinakope ndi kutumiza ma memos - pamodzi ndi mafayilo ena ambiri muchitetezo chachinsinsi muofesi yanga panthawiyo, onse amanama ku kampeni yabodza ya Purezidenti amalonjeza kugwa komweko kuti "sitikufuna. nkhondo yaikulu” – ku komiti ya Senator Fulbright yokhudzana ndi zakunja mu Seputembala 1964 osati zaka zisanu kenako mu 1969, kapena ku atolankhani mu 1971. Miyoyo yankhondo ikadatha kupulumutsidwa.
Zolemba zamakono kapena mafayilo a digito omwe akuganiza zokwiyitsa kapena "kubwezera" zomwe Iran idatikwiyira mobisa zisakhale zachinsinsi mphindi ina kuchokera ku US Congress ndi anthu aku America, kuopera kuti tingakumane ndi tsoka. anachita accompli January 20 isanafike, kuyambitsa nkhondo yomwe ingakhale yoipitsitsa kuposa Vietnam kuphatikizapo nkhondo zonse za ku Middle East pamodzi. Sitinachedwe kuti mapulani otere achitidwe ndi purezidenti wosokonezekayu kapena anthu odziwa bwino komanso a Congress amuletse kuchita izi.
Ndikulimbikitsa kuyimba mluzu molimba mtima lero, sabata ino, osati miyezi kapena zaka kuchokera pano, mabomba atayamba kugwa. Kungakhale mchitidwe wokonda kwambiri dziko lanu m'moyo wonse.
