Hondo yeRussia muUkraine - sehondo dzeUSA muAfghanistan neIraq - inofanirwa kunzwisiswa sekuuraya kukuru. Nezvese ruvengo rwavo rwese, iyo Kremlin neWhite House vakagadzirira kuvimba nemirairo yakafanana: Inogona kugadzirisa. Mutemo wenyika yose ndiwo waunorumbidza kana usiri kuutyora. Uye kumba, mutsa hurudzi kuti uende nehondo.
Nepo nyika ichida kwazvo kuomerera kumwero mumwe chete wokusarwisa uye kodzero dzevanhu, dzimwe pfungwa dzisina kugadzikana dzinogara dziripo mukuedza kupembedza zvisingakodzeri. Mafungiro anowedzera kumonyaniswa kupfuura mapretzels apo vamwe vanhu vasingakwanisi kukunda muedzo wekusarudza mativi pakati pemauto anokwikwidza echisimba chinotyisa.
MuUnited States, nevakuru vakasarudzwa uye vezvenhau vachishora zvakanyanya kuuraya kweRussia, hunyengeri hunogona kuramba husina kumira mushe vanhu vachifunga kuti kurwisa kweAfghanistan neIraq kwakatanga kuuraya kwakakura kwenguva refu. Asi hunyengeri hweUS hahuregi mhirizhonga yekuuraya kwehondo yeRussia paUkraine.
Panguva imwecheteyo, kusvetukira pane bandwagon yehurumende yeUS sesimba rerunyararo rwendo rwekufungidzira. USA yave mugore rayo rechimakumi maviri nerimwe rekuyambuka miganhu nemakomba nemabhomba pamwe nebhutsu pasi muzita re "hondo yehugandanga." Zvichakadaro, United States inopedza kupfuura 10 nguva izvo Russia inoitira mauto ayo.
Zvakakosha kujekesa hurumende yeUS vimbiso dzakaputsika kuti NATO yaisazowedzera "imwe inch kumabvazuva" mushure mekudonha kweBerlin Wall. Kuwedzera NATO kumuganhu weRussia kwaive kunyengera kwemaitiro ekutarisiro yekubatana murunyararo muEurope. Zvakare, NATO yakava chimbo chakareba chekurwa hondo, kubva kuYugoslavia muna 1999 kuenda kuAfghanistan makore mashoma gare gare kuenda kuLibya muna 2011.
Nhoroondo inotyisa yeNATO kubva pakanyangarika mubatanidzwa wemauto weSoviet unotungamirwa neWarsaw Pact makore anodarika makumi matatu apfuura inyaya yevatungamiriri vane hunyanzvi vakapfeka masutu ebhizinesi vakagadzirira kufambisa huwandu hwakakura hwekutengeswa kwezvombo - kwete kunhengo dzeNATO dzagara kwenguva refu asiwo kunyika. muEastern Europe iyo yakawana mitezo. Vezvenhau veUS vari padanho risingamire rakatenderedza kutaura, kusanyanya kuvhenekera, kuti kuzvipira kweNATO kuhondo ine shungu kunoenderera sei. vachikodza mari yepurofiti yevatengesi vezvombo. Pakazotanga makore gumi aya, mari yakabatanidzwa yehondo yegore negore yenyika dzeNATO yakanga yasvika $ 1 tiririyoni, dzinenge ka20 dzeRussia.
Pashure pokunge Russia yatanga kupinda muUkraine nechisimba, kutsoropodza kwacho kwakabva mumwe US antiwar group mushure mumwe pashure mumwe izvo zvagara zvichipikisa kuwedzera kweNATO uye zviitiko zvehondo. Veterans For Peace vakapa chirevo chakajeka mhosva kupindira uku vachiti "sevarwi vehondo tinoziva kuti kuwedzera kwemhirizhonga kunongowedzera mhirizhonga." Sangano racho rakati "nzira chete ine hungwaru yekuita iko zvino kuzvipira kune dhipatimendi rechokwadi nenhaurirano dzakakomba - pasina izvo, kukakavara kunogona kubuda mukutonga kusvika pakusundira nyika kuhondo yenyukireya."
Chirevo chakawedzera kuti "Veterans For Peace vanoziva kuti dambudziko riripo harina kungoitika mumazuva mashoma apfuura, asi rinomiririra makumi emakore ezvisarudzo zvemitemo uye zviito zvehurumende zvakangokonzera kuvakwa kwekupokana uye hutsinye pakati penyika."
Kunyangwe isu tichifanira kujeka uye tisingafungire kuti Hondo yeRussia muUkraine imhosva inoenderera, yakakura, isinga konzereki kune vanhu iyo hurumende yeRussia inokonzeresa, isu hatifanirwe kunge tisina manyepo nezve basa reUS mukugadzirisa kurwisa kwakakura uku ichikwira pasi rose. chengetedzo. Uye iyo geopolitical maitiro ehurumende yeUS muEurope yanga iri nhanho yekunetsana uye njodzi dzinoonekwa.
Funga nezve tsamba yechiporofita kune ipapo-Mutungamiri Bill Clinton iyo yakaburitswa makore makumi maviri neshanu apfuura, nekuwedzera kweNATO padhuze. Yakasainwa nevanhu makumi mashanu vane mukurumbira muhurongwa hwekune dzimwe nyika - kusanganisira makumi mashanu nevaviri vaimbove maseneta, aimbove Munyori weDziviriro, Robert McNamara, uye vanovhenekera vakadai saSusan Eisenhower, Townsend Hoopes, Fred Ikle, Edward Luttwak, Paul Nitze, Richard Pipes, Stansfield. Turner naPaul Warnke - iyo tsamba inoita kuverenga kunonakidza nhasi. Yakayambira kuti "yezvino inotungamirwa neUS kuedza kuwedzera NATO" yaive "mhosho yemitemo yenhoroondo. Isu tinotenda kuti kuwedzera kweNATO kuchaderedza kuchengetedzeka kwakabatana uye kusagadzikana kweEurope. "
Tsamba iyi yakaenderera mberi ichisimbisa kuti: "MuRussia, kuwedzera kweNATO, kunoramba kuchipikiswa mumativi ese ezvematongerwo enyika, kuchasimbisa hupikisi husina demokrasi, kuderedza avo vanofarira shanduko nekubatana neWest, kuunza maRussia kubvunza chigaro chese. -Cold War kugadzirisa, uye galvanize kuramba muDuma kune START II uye III zvibvumirano. MuEurope, kuwedzera kweNATO kuchaita mutsara mutsva wekuparadzanisa pakati pe'ins' ne'outs,' inosimudzira kusagadzikana, uye pakupedzisira inoderedza pfungwa yechengeteko yenyika dziya dzisina kubatanidzwa."
Kuti nyevero dzechokwadi dzakadaro dzakafuratirwa kwakanga kusiri kwetsaona. Iyo bipartisan juggernaut yechiuto inotungamirwa muWashington yakanga isingafarire "kugadzikana kweEurope" kana "pfungwa yekuchengeteka" kune nyika dzese muEurope. Panguva iyoyo, muna 1997, nzeve dzainyanya kusimba dzakanga dzisinganzwi kunetseka kwakadaro kumativi ose ePennsylvania Avenue. Uye vachiri.
Nepo varevereri vehurumende dzeRussia kana United States vachida kutarisa pane chimwe chokwadi kunze kwevamwe, mhirizhonga inotyisa yenyika mbiri idzi inokodzera kushorwa chete. Muvengi wedu chaiye ihondo.
