From Inotarisirwa Statecraft

"Kuparara kwenzvimbo yeLibya kwaitika munzvimbo dzakasiyana-siyana, kuyerera kwevanhu uye zvombo zvichidzora dzimwe nyika muNorth Africa." Chirevo ichi chakabuda muSoufan Group's Intelbrief, ine musoro wekuti "Kurwira Kupinda Kuwanikwa kweLibya Energy Supplies" (24 Ndira 2020). 

Uri kuteerera here, Barack Obama?

"Kune rusarura mutaundi iri [Washington, DC] kuenda kuhondo," President Obama vakati kwandiri nevamwe vanoverengeka vakaungana muWhite House's Roosevelt Room munaGunyana 10, 2015, angangoita makore manomwe ave purezidhendi. Panguva iyoyo, ndakafunga kuti aifunga zvakanyanya nezvekutyisa kwakashata kwaakaita nekubatana nekupindira muLibya muna 2011, achizadzisa United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973.

Munyori wezvemitemo VaObama, VaJohn Kerry, vaive vakagara padivi pemutungamiri wenyika pakataura VaObama. Ndinoyeuka ndichizvibvunza panguva iyoyo kana iye aidzidzisa Kerry uye achichema sarudzo yake, nekuti Kerry aive ataurwa panguva iyoyo nezvekurwadzisa US kutora chikamu mune imwezve hondo isingaperi panguva iyoyo - uye achiri - achitakura kuSyria. VaObama, zvakadaro, vaitova vasina chimwe cheizvozvo.

Chikonzero ndechekuti kupindira kweLibya hakungotungamira mukufa kwakaipisisa kwemutungamiriri weLibya, Muammar Qaddafi - uye akatanga kurwisa hutsinye uye kuenderera mberi kukunda kweuto rezita rekuti "ndiani anotonga Libya," kukoka masimba ekunze kubva kuMedithera yose kuenda kubatana nechafini, uye kusunungura nzvimbo isingagumi yevapoteri inoyerera pagungwa remukati - iyo yakaisawo zvombo kubva kune imwe yemawoko makuru epasi pachembera mumaoko emapoka akadai saISIS, al-Qa'ida, Lashkar e-Taibi, nevamwe . Pamusoro pezvo, mazhinji eaya aimbova maLibya zvombo zvaive zvichishandiswa muSyria panguva iyoyo chaiyo.

Tisati tapa rumbidzo yakarasika kuna VaObama vakadzidza chidzidzo chavo uye nekudaro vasingafungire kupindira muSyria nenzira yakakosha, tinofanirwa kuunza mubvunzo: Nei vatungamiriri vanoita sarudzo dzakashata seIraq, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan uye, mangwana pamwe, Iran?

Mutungamiri Dwight Eisenhower vakapindura uyu mubvunzo, muchikamu chikuru, muna 1961: “Hatimbofa takabvumidza huremu hwemusanganiswa uyu [vemaindasitiri vemaindasitiri] kuisa mungozi rusununguko rwedu kana maitiro ezvematongerwo enyika. ... Chete mugari akangwara uye anoziva ruzivo rwemunyika anogona kumanikidza kuiswa kwakakodzera kwemaindasitiri makuru nemauto ekudzivirira nemaitiro edu ane rugare uye zvinangwa. "

Zvichitaurwa zvakapusa, nhasi America haina kuumbwa neyambiro uye ineruzivo vagari vane ruzivo, uye iyo Complex iyo Eisenhower yakanyatsorondedzerwa ichokwadi, uye munzira kunyange Eisenhower ingadai yakafungidzira, kuisa pangozi rusununguko rwedu uye maitiro ezvematongerwo enyika. Iyo Complex inogadzira "kusarura" kwakatsanangurwa neMutungamiri Obama.  Zvakare, nhasi Congress yeUnited States inosimudzira Complex - madhora mazana manomwe emakumi mapfumbamwe nemakumi matatu emadhora gore rino pamwe neisina kumbobvira afungidzirwa mari inosvika zviuru mazana manomwe emamirioni emadhora emadhora - kusvika padanho rekuti Complex yakanyorwa nezvehondo yave isingagone, isingagumi, uye, sekutaurawo kwaEisenhower, " inonzwika mumaguta ese, dzimba dzehurumende, hofisi dzose dzehurumende. ”

Nezve "kungwarira uye kuziva vagari," mhedzisiro kwete kunguva refu inokonzerwa nedzidzo chaiyo asi munguva pfupi-yepakati inodzidziswa neanokwanisa uye anokwanisa "Chikamu chechina," kukundikana kwakadzika kwazvo. naizvo. 

Iyo Complex yezvakawanda zvezvinangwa zvayo zvinotyisa ine midhiya inokoshesa, kubva kubepanhau renyika, New York Times, kuenda kuguta rayo razvino guta, The Washington Post, kune bepanhau reruzhinji rwemari, iro Wall Street Journal. Iwo ese mapepa echikamu chikuru haana kusangana sarudzo yehondo yavasina kufarira. Hondo padzinongova "dzisingagumi" apo vamwe vacho vanowana mamwe manzwi avo - uye zvadaro kunonoka.

Kwete kutungamirwa nekudhindwa kwehunyorwa, iyo huru tambo yemagetsi terevhizheni inoratidzira misoro inotaura, vamwe vacho vanobhadharwa nenhengo dzeComplex kana kuti vakapedza hupenyu hwavo hwehunyanzvi mukati mayo, kana vese vari vaviri, kuratidzira pahondo dzakasiyana siyana. Zvekare, ivo vanowana chete manzwi avo anonetsa kana hondo dzikapera, zviri pachena kuti dziri kurasikirwa kana kusunganidzwa, uye zviri kudhura rakawandisa ropa nepfuma, uye zvirinani zvirimo zviri parutivi rwekupokana nazvo.

Marine General Smedley Butler, anowana mbiri yeMedical of Honor mutambi, akamboreururwa kuti aive "tsotsi rekubhururuka." Tsanangudzo yakakodzera yenguva dzaButler mumazuva ekutanga ezana ramakore re20. Nhasi, zvakadaro, chero nyanzvi yemauto yakakodzera munyu wake se mugari wemowo - saEisenhower - yaizobvuma kuti ivowo vakapara mhosva yeComplex - nhengo inotakura-makadhi eiyo capitalist state, kuve nechokwadi, asi iye ega Chinangwa, kunze kwekuwedzera puroviti yemubatanidzwa, iri kufambisa kufa kwevamwe pamaoko ehurumende. 

Ndezvipi zvimwe zvekunyatsorondedzera varume - uye zvino vakadzi - vanopfeka nyeredzi dzakawanda zvisingaite pamberi pevamiriri vevanhu muCongress uye vachikumbira mamwe emitero yemitero? Uye iyo yakachena charade yeiyo slush fund, inozivikanwa zviri pamutemo seOrseseas Contingency Operations (OCO) chikwama uye inofanirwa kuve yakanyatsoita mashandiro mumitambo yemitambo yehondo, inoita chirevo chemauto eabhajeti. Nhengo zhinji dzeCongress dzinofanira kuturika misoro yadzo mukunyadziswa pane izvo zvavanobvumidza kuti zviitwe gore rimwe nerimwe neiyi slush fund.

Uye munyori wezveDziviriro, Mark Esper, mazwi kuCentre for Strategic neInternational Study vhiki rino, zvinotaurwa zvinonzwisisika kuratidza "kufunga kutsva" paPentagon maererano nebhajeti, zvinoratidza kuti hapana shanduko yekuchinja chaiko mubhajeti remauto, ingori pfungwa nyowani - imwe iyo inovimbisa kusadzikisa mari yekubvisa mari asi kuti uivawedzera. Asi nezvakadaro, Esper anoratidza panopomerwa imwe mhosva apo anopomera Congress kuti inowedzera kune dzakatobhuroka bhajeti kwezvikumbiro kubva kuPentagon: "Ndanga ndichiudza Pentagon ikozvino kwemakore maviri nehafu kuti mabhajeti edu haasi kuwana zvirinani - aripo kwaanenge ari - uye saka isu tinofanirwa kuve tiri vatariri vari nani kwedhora remutero. ... Uye, iwe unoziva, Congress yakazara shure kweizvozvo. Asi pane nguva iyoyo painosvika pamashure memba yavo, uye iwe unofanirwa kushanda nenzira iyoyo. "

"[T] hat inini panguva kana ichinge yasvika kuseri kwavo" - kupomedzerwa kwakavanzika kushoma kuti nhengo dzeCongress dzinowanzo batanidza Pentagon bhajeti kukumbira kuti vape nyama yenguruve kumatunhu avo edzimba (hapana ari nani pane izvi kupfuura Seneti Mutungamiriri Wechidiki, Mitch McConnell, uyo mumakore ake mazhinji muSeneti akapa mazana emadhora emitero - kusanganisira kuDziviriro - yenzvimbo yekumba yake yeKentucky kuti ave nechokwadi chekuti akabata nguva yakareba pasimba ipapo. Uye iye haasi piker kunyange mukutora mari kubva dhipatimendi rekudzivirira mubato rake rekuratidzira. McConnell angangove akasiyana, asi, kubva kune dzimwe nhengo dzeCongress munzira yaanodzokera kuKentucky uye anozvitutumadza nezveshuwa inguruve yenguruve yaanounza gore rake kudunhu rake kuti abvise zvakaipa zvake zvinowedzera polling ratings). 

Asi Esper akaenderera neimwe nzira achiti: "Tave panguva ino nenguva." Tine zano nyowani. … Tine rutsigiro rwakawanda kubva kuCongress. … Tinofanirwa kuyambutsa gomarara iripo pakati peiyo Cold War-era system pamwe neyekupokana, kurwisa-simba kwemakore gumi apfuura, tobva taita makwikwi makuru emakwikwi neRussia neChina - China kunyanya.

Kana iyo Hondo yechinyakare yakaunza dzimwe nguva kureketa bhajeti remauto, isu tinotarisira kuti nyowani nyowani hondo neChina kuzodzora huwandu ihwohwo nemirairo yehukuru. Uye ndiani iye akasarudza kuti isu taida hondo yechando nyowani zvakadaro?

Tarisa kwete kumberi kune iyo Complex (kubva kwainosvika Esper, kwete zvakabatana, seimwe yepamusoro lobbyists kuna Raytheon, nhengo inoshamisa yeComplex). Imwe yeComplex's sine qua nons ndozvadzakadzidza kubva kunenge hafu yezana yehondo inotonhora neSoviet Union: hapana chinhu pasi pano chinobhadhara zvakanyatsonaka uye zvichidaro kupfuura kurwira kwenguva refu nesimba guru. Nekudaro, hapana mumwe akasimba, ane simba kwazvo mumiriri wehondo itsva inotonhora neChina - uye kukanda Russia mumusanganiswa zvakare kune mamwe madhora - pane iyo Complex. 

Nekudaro, pakupera kwezuva, iro zano rekuti US rinofanira kushandisa gore rimwe nerimwe mari pane zvaro mauto pane ndudzi sere dzakazotevera munyika dzakabatana, vazhinji vavaiti vanobatana navo kuUS, vanofanira kuratidza kune mumwe asingazive uye asiri-akangwara mugari wemo kuti chimwe chinhu chakanyanya kukanganisa. Govera kunze kwehondo yechando nyowani; chimwe chinhu chiri kutadza zvakanyanya.

Asi sezviri pachena simba reComplex rinongova rakakura kwazvo. Hondo nedzimwezve hondo ramangwana reAmerica. Sezvakataurwa naEisenhower, "huremu hwechibatanidzwa ichi" huri kuisa mungozi rusununguko rwedu uye nemabatiro egutsaruzhinji.

Kuti tinzwisise izvi zvakajeka, tinongoda kuedza zvisina zvazvinobatsira mumakore mashoma apfuura kudzosera simba rekuita hondo kubva kubazi rezvekutungamira, iro bazi rikati kana riine simba rekuita hondo, sezvatakayambirwa naJames Madison, zvimwe zvinounza udzvinyiriri.

Madison, chaiye “peni” chaiye mukunyora kwebumbiro reUS, akaita chokwadi chekuti chakaisa simba rehondo mumaoko eCongress. Zvisineyi, kubva kuMutungamiri Truman kuenda kuna VaTrump, vangangoita mutungamiriri wese weAmerica akazvitora nenzira imwe neimwe.

Kwayedza nguva pfupi yadarika dzimwe nhengo dzeCongress yekushandisa simba rezvebumbiro iri kungobvisa America kubva muhondo yeutsinye muYemen, yadonha kune simba rinotyisa reComplex. Izvo hazvina basa kuti mabhomba nemakoronyera eComplex anowira mumabhazi echikoro, zvipatara, mafaro, uye zvimwe zviitiko zvisina njodzi munyika iyoyo yakapindwa nehondo. Madhora anodururira mukati memabokisi eiyo Complex. Izvi ndizvo zvakakosha. Izvo ndizvo zvese zvine basa.

Pachauya zuva rekuverenga. nguva dzose kune hukama hwemarudzi. Mazita emahara epasi epasi rose akanyorwa zvinonyorwa mumabhuku enhoroondo. Kubva kuRoma kuenda kuBritain, zvakanyorwa ipapo. Hakuna kwese, zvakadaro, kwakanyorwa kuti chero vavo vachiri nanhasi. Vese vapinda muguruva renhoroondo.

Saizvozvo isu rimwe zuva munguva pfupi, tichazotungamirwa ikoko neComplex nehondo dzisingaperi.
