Sezvo tsotsi reRussia rakapinda muUkraine mumwedzi wechina, runyararo uye kufamba kunofambira mberi kune kumwe kufunga kwakaoma kuita.

Vhoti yaMay yaive 368-57 mudare uye 86-11 muSeneti. Vese maDemocrats nevamiriri vese veMassachusetts nemaSeneta vakavhotera mari yehondo, nepo nhamba yakakura yeVaTrumpist Republicans yakavhota kwete.
Vaimbova antiwar Democrats vakaita saReps. Ayanna Pressley, Jim McGovern, Barbara Lee, Pramila Jayapal, Ilhan Omar, uye Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, uye maseneta Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, naEd Markey, vakagamuchira zvisina tsarukano Hutongi hwehondo yevamiriri veRussia. Vakataura zvishoma kutsanangura maitiro avo; chete Cori Bush akasunungura mutsara kubvunza nhanho yerubatsiro rwemauto, kunyangwe uchivhotera.
PaUkraine, hapana izwi rerunyararo muCongress.
Iyo Administration yanga ichifonera kubva muna Kubvumbi kuti zvinangwa zvayo zvinoenda zvakanaka kupfuura kudzivirira Ukraine. Mutungamiri Biden vakati Mutungamiri Putin "haagone kuramba ari musimba". Secretary of Defense Austin akati US inoda kunetesa Russia. Uye Mutauriri Nancy Pelosi akati tiri kurwa kusvika "kukunda".
Biden Administration haina kutsanangura zano rekupedza hondo - imwe chete yekurova kudzoka kuRussia. Secretary of State Blinken haasati asangana neMunyori Wezvekune dzimwe nyika weRussia Lavrov kubva pakatanga kurwisa kweRussia mwedzi inodarika miviri yadarika. Hapana off ramp. Iko hakuna diplomacy.
Kunyange the New York Times vapepeti venhau, avo, sedhipatimendi ravo renhau, vanga vachiwanzova vatsigiri vehondo, zvino vari kudaidzira ngwariro, vachibvunza, “Chii chinonzi America’s Strategy muUkraine?” mupepeti yaMay 19. "White House haisi njodzi yekurasikirwa nekufarira kwevanhu vekuAmerica kutsigira vanhu vekuUkraine - avo vanoramba vachirasikirwa nehupenyu nemararamiro - asi zvakare kukanganisa rugare rwenguva refu nekuchengetedzeka mukondinendi yeEurope," vakanyora kudaro.
Musi waChikumi 13, Steven Erlanger mumutambo Times akajekesa kuti mutungamiri weFrance Macron naChancellor weGermany Scholz havasi kudaidzira kukunda kweUkraine, asi runyararo.
Robert Kuttner, Joe Cirincione, Matt Duss, uye Bill Fletcher Jr. vari pakati pemanzwi anozivikanwa anofambira mberi akabatana nekudaidzira kuti US itsigire Ukraine nerubatsiro rwemauto, ukuwo manzwi erunyararo eUS akadai saNoam Chomsky, Codepink, uye UNAC achinyevera nezvemhedzisiro yekuita izvi uye anodaidzira nhaurirano panzvimbo yezvombo.
Ukraine ndiyo yakabatwa nechisimba uye ine kodzero yekuzvidzivirira, uye dzimwe nyika dzine kodzero yekuibatsira. Asi hazviteveri kuti United States inofanira kupa zvombo kuUkraine. Njodzi dzeUS dzinokweverwa muhondo yakakura neRussia. Inotsausa mari inodiwa kuCOVID ruyamuro, dzimba, kurwisa shanduko yemamiriro ekunze uye nezvimwe kuhondo yemasimba muEurope, uye inodururira yakawanda mumabhegi emauto-maindasitiri.
Saka nei vakawanda vanofambira mberi vakawira mumutsara kuseri kwegwaro reHurumende rekukunda Russia?
Chekutanga, vazhinji vanofambira mberi, vakaita saBiden nevecentrist Democrats, vanoti kurwa kukuru kuri munyika nhasi kuri pakati pedemocracy nehudzvanyiriri, neUnited States semutungamiri wemademocracies. Mukuona uku, Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro, naVladimir Putin vanoratidza tsika inopokana nedemocracy iyo demokrasi inofanira kuramba. Bernie Sanders akatsanangura vhezheni yake yemaonero aya muFulton, Missouri, muna 2017. Achibatanidza mutemo wekune dzimwe nyika unopikisa kune dzimwe nyika kune hurongwa hwake hwepamba, Sanders anobatanidza hurumende kune kusaenzana, uori, uye oligarchy, achiti ivo chikamu chegadziriro imwe chete.
Sezvo Aaron Maté Anotsanangura, kutsigirwa naSanders nevamwe vanofambira mberi vakasarudzwa veRussiagate kurangana dzidziso kutanga muna 2016 vakaisa danho rekuti vagamuchire chibvumirano chinopesana neRussia, iyo, apo hondo muUkraine yakatanga, yakagadzirira kuti vatsigire US kurwisana neRussia.
Asi chitendero chekuti US ndiyo mudziviriri wedemocracy inopa chikonzero chekupokana kweUS kuRussia, China, nedzimwe nyika dzisingateveri zvinorairwa neUS. Vanoda runyararo vanofanira kuramba maonero aya.
Hongu, tinofanira kutsigira democracy. Asi US haina kana mukana wekuunza democracy pasi rose. Democracy yeUS yagara yakarereka ichifarira vapfumi uye iri kutowedzera nhasi. Kuda kweUS kumanikidzira yavo modhi ye "democracy" kune dzimwe nyika kwaita kuti ikonzere njodzi dzeIraq neAfghanistan, uye kupokana kusingaperi kuIran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, China, nezvimwe.
Asi, nyika dzine masangano ezvematongerwo enyika akasiyana dzinofanira kuremekedzana uye kugadzirisa kusawirirana kwadzo murunyararo. Runyararo runoreva kupikisa kubatana kwemauto, kupokana kutengesa zvombo uye kutamiswa, uye kutsigira United Nations yakasimbiswa zvikuru. Izvo hazvireve kukumbundira nyika isiri kana mubatanidzwa weUS, ichizadza nemaoko, uye kuita hondo yayo isu.
Muchokwadi, iyo US humambo, kwete democracy. Gwaro rayo harisvikirwi nezvido kana pfungwa dzevanhu varo, asi nezvido zvecapitalism. Massachusetts Peace Action yakatanga kuisa maonero aya makore masere apfuura mubepa redu rekukurukura, A Foreign Policy for All.
Manzwisisiro edu ekuti US humambo haagovani nevanofambira mberi veDemocratic vakaita saSanders, Ocasio-Cortez, McGovern, Pressley, Warren, kana vamwe. Kunyange vachishoropodza kutonga kwecapitalist kwezvematongerwo enyika eUS, havana kushandisa kushoropodza uku kune mutemo wekunze. Muchokwadi, maonero avo ndeekuti US idemocracy isina kukwana uye kuti isu tinofanirwa kushandisa masimba emauto eUS kutarisa nyika dzine masimba pasi rese.
Maonero akadaro haasi kure neoconservative line iyo US ndiyo yekupedzisira yakanakisa tariro yerusununguko. Nenzira iyi, maDemocrat anofambira mberi anove vatungamiriri vebato rehondo.
Chechipiri, vanofambira mberi vanotsigira kodzero dzevanhu uye mutemo wenyika dzakawanda. Kana mhandu dzeUS dzichitsika kodzero dzevanhu kana kupinda nedzimwe nyika, vanofambira mberi vanonzwira tsitsi kune vakabatwa. Vakarurama kuita kudaro.
Asi vanofambira mberi havana chokwadi zvakakwana. Ivo vanowanzo shandiswa nebato rehondo kusaina kuhondo dzeUS uye zvirango zvisingakwanisi zvachose kutsigira kodzero dzevanhu uye zvinodzikisira. Tinoti vanofanira kutanga vateya mhosva dzekodzero dzevanhu dzemuUS vasati vaedza kudzidzisa dzimwe nyika kuchengetedzwa kwekodzero.
Progressives inosainawo nekukurumidza zvekumanikidza kana zvechiuto nzira yekuyedza kugadzirisa kutyorwa kwekodzero dzevanhu.
Kutyorwa kwekodzero dzevanhu kunoitika muhondo dzese, kusanganisira idzo dzakatangwa neUnited States nedzakatangwa neRussia. Hondo pachayo kutyorwa kwekodzero dzevanhu.
Samufundisi wemutemo weYale Samuel Moyn akanyora, nhamburiko yokuita kuti hondo ive nohunhu hwakaparira kuita kuti hondo dzeUnited States “dzifarirwe nevakawanda uye dzakaoma kuona kune vamwe.”
Kutozosvikira vagadzirira kuona kuti masangano ezvematongerwe enyika edzimwe nyika akakodzerawo ruremekedzo nokubatanidzwa, vanofambira mberi havakwanisi kubuda mugadziriro yebato rehondo. Ivo dzimwe nguva vanogona kupokana nazvo pane dzakananga nyaya, asi vachiri kutenga muAmerican kusarudzika.
Progressives inoratidzika kunge yakanganwa kurwisa-kupindira kwakavashandira zvakanyanya pavakaramba hondo dzeIraq neAfghanistan uye (kusvika kumwero wakati) kupindira kweSyria neLibya kwemakumi maviri emakore apfuura. Vakaerekana vakanganwa kusava nechokwadi kwavo kwemashoko anoparadzirwa uye vari kutora ngowani dzavo.
Maonero eruzhinji rweUS ave kutotanga kuchinja kuUkraine sezvo kuparara kwehupfumi kwezvirango kwatanga. Izvi zvakaratidzwa mumavhoti makumi matanhatu nemasere eRepublican achipokana nerubatsiro rweUkraine. Parizvino, vanofambira mberi vakaiswa mubhokisi neavo eAmerican akasarudzika uye anopokana-Russian ideology uye vakaramba kutora nyaya iyi. Sezvo manzwiro ekurwisa hondo achikura, sezvazviri, sangano rinofambira mberi richabhadhara mutengo unorema wesarudzo yevamiriri vayo veCongress kutsigira hondo yeUS.
