Aya ndiwo mazwi angu akagadzirirwa:

Ndatenda nekugamuchira izvi uye kuve pano. Pete neni takakurukura nezuro manheru kuRadford. Vhidhiyo iri pa davidswanson.org. Uye isu takabvumirana, sekuwanda kwakaita nyika ino kwemakore, kuti mari yemauto inofanira kudzikiswa. Ndinoda kuti zvishoma nezvishoma iderere kusvika zero. Handizive kuti Pete anozvida kupi, asi haazvide pa zero. Zvisinei, ndine chokwadi chekuti kana mari yemauto ikadzikiswa zvakanyanya, iwe waizoona nhangemutange yemaoko inodzokororwa, kuderedzwa kwekutyisidzirwa uye kuvengana kunze kwenyika, uye nekudaro chishuwo cheveruzhinji chekuenderera kuchideredza. Nekudaro, neimwe nzira, isu hatidi nharo iyi, isu tinongoda demokrasi pane hondo muzita rezvematongerwo enyika uye hurumende inoenderera gore-mushure megore ichifambisa mari yakawanda kubva mune zvese zvimwe zvese uye muchiuto. Asi kuti tivake musangano une simba rakaringana kukurudzira hutongi hweUS tinoda nharo idzi, tinoda nzwisiso yakajeka yekuti hapana hondo ingambopembedzwa, uye nekudaro kurasa pamusoro pemadhora ane trillion pagore kugadzirira ingangoita hondo chete kumira. Mushure mezvose, 3 muzana yemari iyoyo inogona kupedza nzara pasi, 1 muzana inogona kupedza kushomeka kwemvura yakachena, chunk hombe inogona kutipa mukana wekupokana nekushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze (pane kushanda senzira inotungamira yeshanduko yemamiriro ekunze). Saka ndiyo nzvimbo yehondo inouraya zvakanyanya kupfuura iyo chaiko hondo, uye isu hatigone kuvaka simba rekudzora chero bedzi vanhu vachifungidzira panogona kunge paine hondo chaiyo rimwe zuva.

Pete neni takabvumiranawo kuti hondo zhinji dzave dzisina kururamisira. Ini ndichataura zvishoma nezvekuti nei hondo dzaanoti dzaive dzakarurama dzaingova dzisina kukodzera ivo pachavo uye vari vega. Asi ini ndinofunga mutoro wehondo yakaringana wakatokura pane iwo. Ini ndinofunga kuti hondo, kuita zvakanaka kupfuura kukuvadza, inofanirwa kuita zvakawanda zvakanaka kupfuura kukuvadza kupfuura kukunda kukuvadzwa kwakaitwa nehondo dzese dzinofungidzirwa kuti hadzina kururamisira pamwe nekutsauswa kwemari kubva kwainogona kuchengetedza nekuvandudza mamirioni anorarama pane kutambisa. Hondo inzvimbo, uye kuti chero hondo iratidzwe inofanirwa kururamisa zvese zvakakanganiswa nesangano.

Asi Pete akangotumidza mazita ehondo dzinoverengeka uye vaviri vasina kururamisira vasina kumbotipa nzira yaizotibvumidza kuti tione kuti ndedzipi patinotendeukira kuhondo dzese haana kunyora imwe nzira kana imwe. Izvi zvinosanganisira hondo dzaakatora chikamu mu: Afghanistan neIraq. Muna 2006 Pete akataura kuti hondo yeIraq yakanga ichiita Iraq yakawanda zvakanaka. Ndakamubvunza ndichidzokorora kuti chii chakanaka uye handina kuzowana mhinduro. Akadaidza iyo 2003-yakatanga hondo "isina hungwaru" uye "mhosho." Kana zvirizvo zvaunodaidza kuti hondo inonyanyisa kuwedzera kushandiswa kweshoko rekuti sociocide (zvichireva kuparadzwa zvachose kwenzanga), ndinoshamisika kuti ndeipi nhanho yekuuraya inodiwa hondo isati yanzi chimwe chinhu chakaomarara se "chakaipa" kana "chisingafadzi" kana “Unodemba zvinyoronyoro.”

Imwe yazvino hondo yakatarwa naPete yaive isina kururama yaive yeUS-Saudi hondo kuYemen. Asi Pete achabatana neni mukukurudzira mauto eU.S. kuti arambe unzenza uye zvisiri pamutemo kuti vatore chikamu muhondo iyoyo? Icho hachisi icho chetsika basa rakaenzana neiro rekukurudzira kutora chikamu mune inonzi ingori hondo? Hazviratidze here rimwe rematambudziko mazhinji nekushevedza mauto eU.S. Chero chinhu chipi zvacho chauri kuita nekuzvidira iwe unobvumidzwa kurega kuita. Ndeipi pfungwa yekudzidzisa mauto hunhu kana ivo vasingafanire kuzviita?

Pete achati akatsanangura kuti chii hondo chaiyo, ihondo inorwiwa nekuti wakarwiswa. Kunze kwekuti iye achazobvuma zviri nyore kuti United States yanga ichirwa hondo idzi dzese isina kurwiswa. Saka izvo zvaanonyatso kureva ndezvekuti mumwe munhu akarwiswa, achibvumira United States kuti ipinde sechiratidzo chekupa nerubatsiro. Asi, sekutonga, kupindira uku hakukosheswe, hakuna kukumbirwa, hakunyatsobatsira, pane zvinopesana zvine njodzi, uyezve, nenzira, zvisiri pamutemo. Ndiani akafa uye akaita United States mupurisa wenyika? Hapana. Asi mamirioni avanhu akaurayiwa nemapurisa. Voruzhinji venyika zhinji vakaferefetwa muna2013 naGallup vakadaidza United States kutyisidzira kukuru kurunyararo pasi rose. Pew akawanikwa iyo pfungwa yakawedzera mu 2017. Kutanga kunzwisisa chikonzero sei, fungidzira kana imwe nyika yakatanga kuputira mabhanga akawanda panguva imwe chete yekunaka its mwoyo. Kushevedzera kwe "Rudzi Rune Rudzi!" uye "Mhosva yeHondo!" yaizonzwika pese pese panobuditswa nhau.

Fungidzira kana imwe nyika ikaisa zvombo mukati meCanada neMexico yakanangana neUnited States, nenzira inoita United States kuRussia. Fungidzira kana ivo vairuramisa izvi sekuzvidzivirira uye vakaratidza kuti zvaiitwa neDhipatimendi reDziviriro izvo zvakaratidza izvozvo. Pane vhidhiyo yaVladimir Putin achibvunza aimbove Mumiriri weUS Jack Matlock nezve zvombo zveUS padhuze neRussia, uye Matlock anoudza Putin kuti asazvinetse nekuti zvombo zvacho zvinongova chirongwa chebasa kumashure kumatunhu. Mhinduro yakadaro ingatigutsa here kana nyaya yacho yakadzorerwa? Usambofa wakafunga kuti zvidzidzo zvakaitwa neUniversity yeMassachusetts-Amherst zvinoratidza zvakajeka kuti kushandisa kwemauto kunotibhadharira mabasa pane kuwedzera kwavari.

Kunyange hazvo iyo ichangoburwa hondo yeUS iyo Pete anoti yaive isingakwanise kukunda kukuvadzwa kwakaitwa nehondo dzese dzeUS dzatinobvumirana dzaive dzisiri pamwe nekutsauswa kwemari, njodzi yenyukireya apocalypse, mhirizhonga yemuchina wehondo, kukanganisa kwezvematongerwo enyika uye kwetsika , njodzi ine njodzi pane kudzivirirwa, nezvimwewo, regai nditarise kurwa hondo ipfupi.

Iyi ndiyo Persian Gulf War. Yeuka kuti United States yakanga yaita kuti Saddam Hussein ave nesimba uye ainge akashonga uye akamubatsira muhondo ine utsinye neIran kwemakore. A kambani yakadanwa American Type Culture Collection muManassas, Virginia, yakapa zvinhu zvechibereko zvechibharo kuna Saddam Hussein. Gare gare, pazvakange zvave pachena kuti Iraq yakanga isina akakosha mabhaisikopo kana makemikari zvakanyanya zvombo zvenyukireya, kunyepedzera kuti kwaive nezvakawanda zvitsva zvezvitoro zvavo neimwe nzira chikonzero chekubhomba rudzi ruzere nevanhu, 99.9 muzana yavo vasina kumbobata maoko. naDonald Rumsfeld. Asi yakatanga kuuya Gulf War. Kufanana nehondo yega yega, yakatanga nenguva yekutyisidzira, iyo isina kufanana nekukasira uye kukurumidza kwekubira munzira ine rima kana fananidzo yakafanana iyo Pete anoda kushandisa. Muchokwadi, panguva yakatarwa iyi, kambani yehukama neruzhinji yakadzidzisa musikana kunyepa kuCongress kuti Iraq yaitora vacheche kubva muma incubator. Uye ukuwo Iraq yakaronga kubva kuKuwait kana Israeri yaizobuda munzvimbo dzePalestine zvisiri pamutemo, uye Iraq yakaronga zvombo zvekuparadza zvakasununguka Middle East. Hurumende zhinji uye kunyange mukomana anofungidzirwa kuti haana kumbobvira akanganisa anonzi The Pope akakurudzira US kuti vatevere kugadzikana murunyararo. Hondo yeUS yakasarudza. Pane kumwe kupokana nematanho asina basa ekuzvidzivirira pachedu, iyo US muhondo iyi yakauraya makumi ezviuru evaIraq vachiri kudzokera.

Unoziva here kuti nei mapurezidhendi achangopfuura asiri VaTrump vasina kuronga maratidziro makuru emauto? Imhaka yekuti hapana imwe yehondo dzekuUS kubvira Hondo yeGulf yakwanisa kunyepedzera kure "kukunda." Iyo poindi haisi yekuti tinoda kukunda mushure meizvozvo isu tinofanirwa kuda kuratidzira, asi asi kuti hapana chinhu chakadai sekukunda - Hondo yeGulf yakanga isiri imwe futi - uye tinofanirwa kuziva icho chakakosha chokwadi isu tisati zvose zvakashanduka zvikava moto nehasha. Kubhomba kusingaperi uye masanctions (ndiani anoyeuka Madeleine Albright achiti kuuraya vana miriyoni imwe kwakaruramiswa?), Nehondo nyowani, nemauto muSaudi Arabia, nehugandanga hwakanangana nekuburitsa mauto muSaudi Arabia (iwe unofungei 9 / 11 yaive, chaiko?), Nekuenderera mberi kwemauto kuMiddle East, nezvirwere zvinotyisa pakati pevakarwa hondo, uye nezvimwe zvinotyisa zvakatevera kubva kuGulf War zvinopa pfungwa inosemesa yekuti "kukunda". Unoziva here zvakataurwa nemuhondo weGulf War Timothy McVeigh kupembedza kupwanya chivakwa muOklahoma City? Kunge Just Just Theorist yeHondo Yehondo, akataura kuti aive nechinangwa chepamusoro, zvekuti chivakwa nevanhu vakaurairwa mariri zvaingove kukuvara kwechibvumirano. Uye unoziva here kuti nei vanhu vasina kuwira mutsetse iwoyo? Nekuti McVeigh anga asina simba rekubata chero terevhizheni network.

Nenzira, ndinotenda kuti tinofanira kupa Trump chibvumirano: chimwe chimiro chehondo imwe neimwe inoguma.

Mumiriri waPete nhamba yechipiri yeHondo Yekurura ndeyeBosnia. Sezvo Hondo dzese dziine Hitler, murume Tony Blair akatumidza Hitler nguva ino aive Slobodan Milosevic. Nepo ari kure kwazvo nemutungamiriri anoyemurika, akanyeperwa nezvazvo, hondo yakundikana kumubvisa, sangano rekutonga risingaite zvechisimba rakazomupidigura, uye dare redzimhosva reUN rakazomuburitsa nemhosva pamutongo wake mune mutongo wakareba pane mumwe mupomeri. IUS yakanga yashanda zvine simba kupatsanurwa kweYugoslavia uye ichidzivirira nemaune zvibvumirano pakati pemapato. Ipapo-Munyori Mukuru weUN Boutros Boutros-Ghali akati, "Mumavhiki ayo ekutanga muhofisi, hutongi hwaClinton hwauraya chirongwa cheVance-Owen chingadai chakapa maSerbs makumi mana neshanu muzana yenharaunda yenyika yakabatana. Muna 2 kuDayton, manejimendi akadada nechibvumirano chekuti, mushure memamwe makore anenge matatu ekutyisa nekuuraya, akapa maSerbs makumi mana nemapfumbamwe muzana mudunhu rakakamurwa kuita masangano maviri. ”

Makore matatu gare gare kwakauya hondo yeKosovo. IUnited States yaidavira kuti, kusiyana neCrimea, Kosovo yakanga ine kodzero yekugadzirisa. Asi United States yakanga isingadi kuti iite, kufanana neKrimea, pasina vanhu vanourayiwa. Muna June 14, 1999 nyaya ye The Nation, George Kenney, aimbova mukuru weDhipatimendi reHurumende yeYugoslavia, akataura kuti: "Mushandi wepepanhau asingasvikike anogara achifamba nemunyori weHurumende Madeleine Albright akaudza [munyori] uyu kuti, achipika vatori venhau kuvanzika kwakadzama pahurukuro dzeRambouillet, mukuru weHurumende. Mukuru weDhipatimendi akange azvikudza kuti United States 'yakamisa nemaune bhawa rakakwirira kupfuura raigona kubvumirwa nevaSerbia.' VaSerbia vaida, sekutaura kwemukuru uyu, bhomba diki kuti vaone chikonzero. ” Jim Jatras, mubatsiri wezvekunze kwenyika kuSeneti Republican, akataura mune yaMay 18, 1999, kutaura kuCato Institute muWashington kuti aive nazvo "zvine chiremera" kuti "mukuru weKutungamira akaudza vezvenhau kuRambouillet, achirambidzwa" zvinotevera: “Isu nemaune takaisa bhawa rakanyanya kukwirira kuti maSerbia vateerere. Vanoda kubhombwa, uye ndizvo zvavachatora. ” Mukubvunzurudzwa neFairness and Accuracy in Reporting, vese Kenney naJatras vakasimbisa kuti aya aive makotesheni chaiwo akanyorwa nevatori venhau vakataura nemukuru weUS.

Sangano reUnited Nations harina kupa mvumo kuUnited States nevatungamiri vayo veNATO kuti vauraye Serbia mu1999. Uyewo haina United States Congress. IUnited States yakaita mhirizhonga yakakura yakauraya vanhu vazhinji, yakakuvadza yakawanda, yakaparadza hupfumi hwehupfumi, zvipatara, uye zvinyorwa zvemashoko, uye yakagadzira dambudziko revapoteri. Uku kuparadzwa kwakazadzikiswa kuburikidza nenhema, zvigadzirwa, uye kuwedzeredza pamusoro pezvakaipa, uye zvakakosha kuti vanachronistically semhinduro kumhirizhonga iyo yakabatsira kubatsira.

Mugore bhomba risati rasvika vanhu zviuru zviviri vakaurayiwa, ruzhinji neveKerros Liberation Army guerrillas avo, nerutsigiro kubva kuCIA, vaitsvaga kukurudzira mhinduro yeSerbia iyo yaizokwidza varwi vekuMadokero. Panguva imwecheteyo, nhengo yeNATO Turkey yaive ichiita hutsinye hwakakura, iine 2,000% yezvombo zvavo ichibva kuUnited States. Asi Washington yaisada kurwa neTurkey, saka hapana mushandirapamwe wekuparadzira wakavakirwa pamhosva dzayo; pachinzvimbo kutumirwa zvombo kuTurkey zvakawedzerwa. Mukupesana, mushandirapamwe wekunyepedzera pamusoro peKosovo wakagadzira mhando yaizoteverwa muhondo dzeramangwana, nekubatanidza hutsinye hwakawedzeredzwa uye hwekunyepedzera kuuraya kukuru kweNazi. Mufananidzo wemurume mutete wakaonekwa kuburikidza newaya ine barbed wakaburitswa zvisingaperi. Asi mutori wenhau anoongorora Philip Knightly akatsunga kuti pamwe ndivo vatori venhau nevatori vemifananidzo vaive kuseri kwetambo iyi, uye kuti nzvimbo yakatorwa mifananidzo, nepo yakaipa, yaive musasa wevapoteri vanhu, kusanganisira murume mukobvu akamira padyo nemurume mutete, vakasununguka kuenda. Pakanga paine hutsinye chaihwo, asi hwakawanda hwacho hwakaitika mushure mekubhomba, kwete pamberi pazvo. Mazhinji ekumavirira kweWestern akashandura nguva iyoyo.

Usiku hwekupedzisira Pete akanyorawo kuti Israel Six Days Days Hondo ye1967 sehondo yequintessentially yakarongeka kune chikamu chaIsrayeri. Israeli Mukuru Matti Peled, hero yakakurumbira yehondo iyoyo, ane mwanakomana anonzi Miko Peled uyo akanyora makore matanhatu akapfuura:

“Muna 1967, nanhasi, nzvimbo mbiri dzemagetsi muIsrael dzaive mukuru weIDF neKhabhinethi. Musi waJune 2, 1967, iwo mapoka maviri akasangana kumuzinda weIDF. Varwi vemauto vakakwazisa mutungamiriri wevazhinji vanongwarira uye vane hushamwari, Revhi Eshkol, zvine mutsindo zvekuti musangano uyu wakazodaidzwa kunzi 'MaGeneral' Coup. ' Zvinyorwa zvemusangano uyu, zvandakawana mudura remauto eIsrael, zvinoratidza kuti vakuru vemauto vakaburitsa pachena kuna Eshkol kuti vaIjipita vaizoda mwedzi gumi nemasere kusvika makore maviri vasati vagadzirira kurwa zvizere. nguva yekuratidzira kwekutanga. Baba vangu vakaudza Eshkol: 'Nasser ari kuenderera mberi neuto risina kugadzirira nekuti ari kutarisira kuti Kabineti iri kuzeza. Kusazeza kwako kuri kumubatsira. ' . . . Mumusangano wese, pakanga pasina kutaurwa nezvekutyisidzira asi pane 'mukana' wanga uripo, kuti ubatwe. Munguva pfupi, Khabinete yakabvuma kumanikidzwa nemauto, uye vamwe vese, sekutaura kwavo, inhoroondo. ”

Izvo zvinonzi zvekufananidzira-kuuraya, zvakateverwa nemakumi emakore emutemo kushanda kwemutemo, zvakakonzerwa nenjodzi 18-mwedzi kure, ini ndinoronga, inobata zero kufanana kune zvaunofanira kuita kana ukaona mumwe munhu anotarisana nemutezi mumumvuri werima mu Harrisonburg. Sekugunzva avo vanovhiya uye vanovhiya uye vaSamaria vakanaka havakwanisi kururamisa maitiro avo nehutano hwehondo, zvakadini pamusoro pekuita kwavo kuratidzirana kwakadaro uye kwete kururamisa hondo neanalogies kumabasa akadaro asina kukodzera?

Mune 2011, kuitira kuti NATO inogona kutanga kuputira Libya, African Union yakadzivirirwa neNATO pakupa urongwa hwekuita kuRibya.

Muna 2003, Iraq yakavhurwa kuongororwa kusingagumi kana kunyangwe kuenda kwemutungamiri wayo, sekureva kwakawanda, kusanganisira mutungamiriri weSpain uyo Mutungamiriri weU.S. Bush akarondedzera chikumbiro chaHussein chekuenda.

Mune 2001, Afghanistan yakasununguka kuchinja Osama bin Laden kune imwe nyika yechitatu kutongwa.

Dzokera kuburikidza nenyaya. IUnited States yakagadzirisa runyararo runyararo rweVietnam. ISoviet Union yakarongedza hukama hwekugadzirira hondo yeKorea. Spain yaida kunyura kwei USS Maine kuenda kumhirizhonga dzemarudzi ose pamberi peSpain American War. Mexico yakanga yakagadzirira kutaurirana kutengeswa kwehafu yekumusoro. Munyaya imwe neimwe, hondo yeUnited States. Rugare runofanira kunyatsodziviswa.

Saka kana mumwe munhu akandibvunza zvandingaita panzvimbo pokurwisa Afghanistan, ndine mhinduro nhatu, zvishoma nezvishoma zvishoma nezvishoma.

1. Usarwise Afghanistan.
2. Kutongesa mhosva semhosva, usaite matsva matsva. Shandisa diplomacy uye mutemo wemutemo.
3. Shingairira kusika nyika ine maitiro ehururamisiro nekugadzirisa kukakavadzana uye hupfumi uye zvematongerwe enyika izvo zvisina kunze kwechirongwa chehondo zvachose.

PS: Yese mibvunzo ichave nezve Hondo Yenyika II zvisinei, saka ini ndichango chengeta iyo ye Q&A.

Ndatenda.
