Zvino, pamusi wemakumi maviri wegore rekupinda kwedu muIraq, inguva yekusarudza kupokana nehondo dzisina basa isu tichiri kugona. Kana uchida rugare, gadzirira rugare.
Zvakadaro mauto eAmerica nevatsigiri vavo veAustralia vanotarisira hondo yava pedyo neChina.
Maodzanyemba eAustralia ari kushandurwa kuita mauto eAmerica, sezvinei zvekudzivirira asi mukuita zvehasha.
Saka zvidzidzo zvipi zvatakadzidza kubva muna March 2003?
Australia yakarwa hondo mbiri dzakaipa muAfghanistan neIraq. Kana hurumende yeAlbanese ikasatsanangura kuti sei uye sei, uye mhedzisiro, zvinogona kuitika zvakare.
Pachave pasina kechitatu rombo rakanaka kana hurumende ikapa ADF kurwisa China. Sekufanotaura kwakadzokororwa kwemitambo yehondo yeUS, hondo yakadaro ichakundikana, uye ichapera mukudzokera shure, kukundwa, kana kutonyanya.
Kubva pakasarudzwa ALP muna Chivabvu, hurumende yakafamba nekuchimbidza zvinoyemurika kuti izadzise vimbiso dzayo dzekuchinja munyaya dzehupfumi nemagariro evanhu. Gurukota rezvekunze, Penny Wong's flying fox diplomacy inoshamisa.
Asi pakudzivirira, hapana shanduko inotariswa. Bipartisanship mitemo.
Gurukota rezvekudzivirirwa, Richard Marles, akasimbisa muna Kukadzi 9 kuti Australia yakatsunga kuchengetedza hutongi hwayo. Asi vhezheni yake yezvinorehwa uchangamire kuAustralia inopokana.

Pasi pechibvumirano cheAUKUS, US inogona kupihwa mukana nekutonga kwakawanda.
Izvi zvinopesana nehutongi, nekuti zvinoreva kuti US inogona kutanga kurwisa, toti, China kubva kuAustralia pasina chibvumirano kana ruzivo rwehurumende yeAustralia. Australia yaizove yakanangana neChina kutsiva kuUS.
Huchangamire sezviri pachena hunorevawo kuna Marles ikodzero yehurumende inotungamira - Mutungamiriri uye mumwe kana vaviri vamwe - kuita sezvinodiwa nemubatsiri wedu weAmerica. Mutevedzeri wesheriff maitiro, uye bipartisan.
Pazvikamu zana negumi nezvitatu zvakatumirwa kumubvunzo weparamende muna Zvita pamusoro pekuti Australia inosarudza sei kupinda muhondo dzemhiri kwemakungwa, makumi mapfumbamwe neina dzakaratidza kukundikana muhurongwa hwesarudzo dzekaputeni, uye vakadaidzira shanduko. Vazhinji vakacherekedza kuti vakatungamira kuAustralia kusaina kuhondo dzakatevedzana dzisina pundutso.
Asi Marles ane chokwadi chekuti hurongwa hweAustralia hwazvino hwekuenda kuhondo hwakakodzera uye hahufanirwe kukanganiswa. Mutevedzeri wasachigaro wekomiti diki yekuferefeta, Andrew Wallace, sezviri pachena asina hanya nenhoroondo, akati hurongwa hwazvino hwatiitira zvakanaka.
Mutungamiriri weDziviriro akaudza Paramende muna Kukadzi 9 kuti kugona kwekudzivirira kweAustralia kuri pakufunga kwehurumende huru. Ichokwadi: ndizvo zvagara zviri mamiriro acho.

Asi makurukota anogona kuramba achizvipira kuAustralia kuhondo pasina kuzvidavirira zvachose.
MaMP nemaseneta havana zvavanotaura. Mapato maduku ave nemakore achida kuti tsika iyi ivandudzwe.
Shanduko ingangobva mukuferefeta kwazvino izano rekugadzirisa magungano - kureva kuti, hurumende inofanirwa kubvumidza kuongorora kweparamende nezvechikumbiro chehondo, uye gakava.
Asi chero pasina vhoti hapana chinoshanduka.
Kusiyana nevakatangira Labor kunoshamisa. Arthur Calwell, semutungamiri anopikisa, akataura kwenguva refu muna Chivabvu 4, 1965 achipokana nekuzvipira kwemauto eAustralia kuVietnam.

Kusiyana neizvi, Calwell akapokana, kupindira kwemauto kweAustralia kusingakodzeri kwaizotyisidzira chimiro cheAustralia uye simba redu mune zvakanaka muAsia, uye kuchengetedzeka kwenyika yedu.
Semutungamiri wehurumende, Gough Whitlam haana kutumira maAustralia kuhondo. Akakurumidza kuwedzera basa rekunze reAustralia, akapedza kubviswa kwemauto eAustralia kubva kuVietnam muna 1973, uye akatyisidzira kuvhara Pine Gap nguva pfupi asati abviswa muna 1975.

Semugari weimwe nyika ye “commonwealth”, Canada, ndinoshamiswa kuti America yakabudirira sei kupinza vanhu vazhinji vepasirese kuti vagamuchire hondo semhedzisiro isingadzivisiki. USA yakashandisa nzira dzese dzavainadzo muchinangwa ichi; zvechiuto, zveupfumi, zvetsika nezvematongerwo enyika. Inoshandisa chishandiso chine simba chenhepfenyuro sechombo chekunyengedza ruzhinji rwevanhu. Kana pesvedzero iyi isina kushanda pandiri, uye ini ndisiri imwe mhando yekupenga, saka haifanirwe kushanda pane chero ani zvake anovhura maziso ake kuti aone chokwadi. Vanhu vakabatikana nekuchinja kwemamiriro ekunze (izvo zvakanaka) nedzimwe nyaya dzakawanda dzepamusoro, zvekuti havatombonzwa kurira kwengoma dzehondo. Isu tave pedyo neArmagedhoni zvine njodzi, asi America inowana nzira dzekubvisa zvishoma nezvishoma mukana wekumukira kuti isaite sarudzo yechokwadi. Zvinosemesa chaizvo. Tinofanira kumisa kupenga!
