Charlottesville, Virginia, e leʻi tuʻuina i lalo ona faʻatagata faʻailoga tagata (o mea uma o loʻo i ai le vevesi poʻo se isi lava mea). Charlottesville e leʻi faʻasaina fana mai faʻasalalauga lautele. E tu'ua'ia le fono faitulafono a le setete i ia mataupu uma e lua ma le tele o isi mataupu. Ae o le Aai o Charlottesville o loʻo i ai a tatou tala lautele e teu faʻafaigaluega i auupega, ma e matua mafai lava ona suia lena mea.
I lenei tulaga, atonu e faigata ona maua ni alofaga. O Charlottesville ua faʻamama i le taimi ua tuanaʻi mai Sudan ma Aferika i Saute.
Ua pasia e le Aai ni iugafono i taua ua mavae e tetee ai ma uunaia le Konekeresi e aveese tupe mai le militarism i manaoga o tagata ma le siosiomaga. Ae o le Aai o loʻo faʻapipiʻiina a tatou tupe i kamupani o auupega o loʻo faʻaaogaina a latou auupega i taua faʻaleagaina o le siosiomaga lea e le foliga "paʻepaʻe" le toʻatele o tagata afaina - ma e masani ona faʻaaogaina i itu uma e lua o na taua.
Ma o le Aai o loʻo i ai a tatou tupe o loʻo teu faʻafaigaluega i kamupani suauʻu fossil - o le mea tonu lava lea na fai mai ai le Faufautua mo le Puipuiga a le Atunuu John Bolton o le a manuia mai le faatoilaloina o le malo o Venesuela.
O le Aai e atoatoa ona mafai ona faʻatuina se faiga faʻavae o le le faʻatupeina i kamupani o auupega - o se faiga faʻavae e aofia ai soʻo se kamupani na gaosia fana na aumai e tagata iinei ia Aokuso 2017. E matua mafai lava ona faʻaumatia mai kamupani suauʻu fossil.
O isi taulaga o loʻo pasia foi faiga faʻapena. E iai tulafono a le US Congress mo le taliaina o talosaga mai malo i le lotoifale ma le setete. O tulafono na tusia e se tama e igoa ia Thomas Jefferson, atua o Charlottesville. E matua talafeagai lava mo le tatou Fono a le Aai e fai ma sui o tatou i se tulaga maualuga atu ma le itiiti ifo o sui o le malo pe faia se gaioiga i se mataupu faaleatunuu po o le lalolagi atoa. Ae o le mataupu lea i le lotoifale. O le vevesi o le tau e tupu iinei i Charlottesville e pei o isi mea uma. O sauaga fana e tupu iinei. O a'afiaga o aganu'u taua e tupu iinei. Ma o le tatou tupe lea tatou te talanoa ai.
E le itiiti ifo ma le lua kamupani o loʻo i ai tupe a Charlottesville o loʻo faʻatau atu i Saudi Arabia ma lana taua i Yemen, o le faʻalavelave sili ona leaga o tagata soifua na vaaia i le tele o tausaga. E le o se mea lea e palota ai tagata o Charlottesville, ae e le'i fesiligia lava i matou. O lea la, matou te ofo atu o matou manatu.
