Chimwe che "zviitiko" zvakanyanyiswa zveterevhizheni yeAmerica, Hondo yeVietnam, yatanga paPBS network. Vatungamiriri ndiKen Burns naLynn Novick. Achirumbidzwa nokuda kwezvinyorwa zvake zveHondo Yenyika, Kuora Kwekukuru uye nhoroondo ye jazz, Burns anotaura nezvemafirimu ake eVietnam, "Vachakurudzira nyika yedu kuti itange kutaura uye kufunga nezvehondo yeVietnam nenzira itsva".
Munharaunda kazhinji isina ndangariro dzenhoroondo uye mukunakidzwa nekunyepedzera kwayo "kusiyana", Burns' "itsva chose" hondo yeVietnam inoratidzwa se "epic, basa renhoroondo". Mushandirapamwe wayo wokushambadzira unosimudzira mutsigiri waro mukuru, Bank of America, iro muna 1971 rakapiswa nevadzidzi muSanta Barbara, California, sechiratidzo chehondo inovengwa muVietnam.
Burns anoti anotenda "mhuri yese yeBank of America" iyo "yakagara ichitsigira varwi venyika yedu". Bhanga reAmerica raive mubatanidzwa wekupinda nechisimba kwakauraya vangangosvika mamirioni mana eVietnam ndokuparadza nekuisa chepfu kune imwe nyika yaimbove nehupfumi. Vanopfuura 58,000 mauto eAmerica akaurayiwa, uye nhamba imwe cheteyo inofungidzirwa kuti yakazviuraya.
Ndakaona chikamu chekutanga muNew York. Zvinokusiya usina mubvunzo nezvevavariro dzayo kubva pakutanga chaipo. Murondedzeri anoti hondo "yakatangwa mukutenda kwakanaka nevanhu vane hunhu kubva mukusanzwisisana kwakashata, kuzvivimba kweAmerica uye kusanzwisisana kweCold War".
Kusavimbika kwekutaura uku hakushamisi. Iko kunyengedza kwekugadzirwa kwe "mireza yenhema" iyo yakatungamirira kupinda muVietnam inyaya yakanyorwa - Gulf of Tonkin "chiitiko" mu1964, iyo Burns inokurudzira sechokwadi, yaiva imwe chete. Manyepo anozadza magwaro akawanda ehurumende, kunyanya iwo Pentagon Papers, yakaburitswa nemuridzi mukuru Daniel Ellsberg muna 1971.
Pakanga pasina kutenda kwakanaka. Rutendo rwakanga rwakaora negomarara. Kwandiri - sezvazvinofanira kuva kune vanhu vazhinji vekuAmerica - zvakaoma kuona bhaisikopo remamepu e "njodzi dzvuku", vakabvunzurudzwa vasina kutsanangurwa, vakachekwa zvisina tsarukano dura uye maudlin nhandare yehondo yekuAmerica.
Mune akateedzana 'kuburitswa kwenhau muBritain - iyo BBC icharatidza - hapana kutaurwa nezvevakafa veVietnamese, vanhu vekuAmerica chete. "Tese tiri kutsvaga chimwe chikonzero munjodzi iyi yakaipa," Novick anotorwa achidaro. Yakanyanya sei post-yazvino.
Zvese izvi zvichange zvichizivikanwa kune avo vakacherekedza nzira iyo vezvenhau vekuAmerica uye yakakurumbira tsika behemoth yakagadziridza uye nekupa mhosva huru yehafu yechipiri yezana ramakore rechimakumi maviri: kubva Iyo Green Berets uye The Deer Hunter to Rambo uye, mukuita izvi, zvakave pamutemo hondo dzakatevera dzechisimba. Iyo revisionism haimbomira uye ropa harina kuoma. Mupambi anonzwirwa tsitsi uye anocheneswa mhosva, apo "achitsvaga chimwe chirevo munjodzi iyi inotyisa". Zvakadaro Bob Dylan: "Aa, wanga uripi, mwanakomana wangu ane ziso reblue?"
Ndakafunga nezve "ruremekedzo" uye "kutenda kwakanaka" pandakayeuka zviitiko zvangu zvekutanga semutori wenhau wechidiki muVietnam: kutarisa hypnotically sezvo ganda richidonha kubva kuNapalmed vana varombo vakaita sematehwe ekare, uye manera emabhomba akasiya miti yakasvibiswa uye yakashongedzwa. nenyama yemunhu. General William Westmoreland, mutungamiriri weAmerica, akadana vanhu se "mujuru".
Mukutanga kwema1970, ndakaenda kupurovhinzi yeQuang Ngai, uko mumusha weMy Lai, pakati pe347 ne500 varume, vakadzi nevacheche vakapondwa nemauto eAmerica (Burns anosarudza "kuuraya"). Panguva iyoyo, izvi zvakaratidzwa seaberration: "dambudziko reAmerica" (Newsweek ) Mudunhu rimwe chete iri, zvaifungidzirwa kuti vanhu zviuru makumi mashanu vakaurayiwa panguva yeAmerican "free fire zones". Kuuraya vanhu vakawanda. Idzi dzakanga dzisiri nhau.
Kuchamhembe, mudunhu reQuang Tri, mabhomba akawanda akadonhedzwa kupfuura muGermany yese munguva yeHondo Yenyika Yechipiri. Kubva 1975, mhirizhonga isina kuputika yakakonzera kufa kwe40,000 kunyanya "South Vietnam", nyika iyo America yaiti "inoponesa" uye, neFrance, yakabatwa sehumwe hutongi hwehumambo.
Izvo "zvinoreva" zvehondo yeVietnam hazvina kusiyana nerevo yedanidziro yekuuraya vanhu vekuAmerica, kuuraya kwevakoloni muPhilippine, mabhomba eatomu eJapan, kuenzanisa kweguta rega rega muNorth Korea. Chinangwa chakatsanangurwa naColonel Edward Lansdale, murume ane mukurumbira weCIA uyo Graham Greene akaisa hunhu hwake hwepakati. The Quiet American.
Achitaura nezvaRobert Taber Hondo Yenhata, Lansdale akati, “Kune nzira imwe chete yokukunda nayo mupanduki asingadi kukanda mapfumo pasi, ndiko kuparadzwa. Pane nzira imwe chete yekudzora dunhu rinoramba, uye kurishandura ive renje. "
Hapana chakashanduka. Apo Donald Trump akataura kuUnited Nations musi wa 19 Gunyana - boka rakagadzirirwa kuchengetedza vanhu "denda rehondo" - akataura kuti "akagadzirira, achida uye achikwanisa" "kuparadza zvachose" North Korea nevanhu vayo vane mamiriyoni e25. Vateereri vake vakavhunduka, asi mutauro waTrump waive usina kujairika.
Mukwikwidzi wake wemutungamiri wenyika, Hillary Clinton, akazvikudza kuti akange akagadzirira "kuparadza zvachose" Iran, nyika ine vanhu vanopfuura mamirioni makumi masere. Iyi ndiyo nzira yeAmerica; matauriro chete ndiwo ashaikwa izvozvi.
Kudzokera kuUS, ndinorohwa nekunyarara uye kusavapo kweanopikisa - mumigwagwa, munhau uye zvehunyanzvi, sekunge kupokana kwakamboshivirirwa mu "mainstream" kwakadzokera kune kusapokana: dimikira pasi pevhu.
Kune ruzha uye hasha zhinji kuna Trump iyo inonyangadza, iyo "fascist", asi inenge isina kuna Trump chiratidzo uye caricature yekusingaperi hurongwa hwekukunda uye kunyanyisa.
Ndekupi zvipoko zvekuratidzira kukuru kwekurwisa hondo kwakatora Washington muma1970? Ndekupi kwakafanana neFreeze Movement yakazadza migwagwa yeManhattan kuma1980s, ichida kuti Mutungamiri Reagan vabvise zvombo zvenyukireya munhandare yehondo?
Simba guru uye kupfuurira kwetsika kweaya mafambiro makuru kwakabudirira zvikuru; na 1987 Reagan akanga ataurirana naMikhail Gorbachev nezveIntermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) iyo yakanyatsopedza Cold War.
Nhasi, maererano nezvinyorwa zveNato zvakavanzika zvakatorwa nepepanhau reGermany, Suddeutsche Zetung, chibvumirano chakakosha ichi chingangoregwa sezvo "kuronga kwekunangana kwenyukireya kuchiwedzerwa". Gurukota rezvekunze reGerman, Sigmar Gabriel, akayambira nezve "kudzokorora kukanganisa kwakanyanya kweHondo Yemashoko ... zvibvumirano zvese zvakanaka zvekubvisa zvombo uye kutonga kwezvombo kubva kuGorbachev neReagan zviri munjodzi huru. Europe iri kutyisidzirwa zvakare nekuva nzvimbo yekudzidzira zvechiuto yezvombo zvenyukireya. Tinofanira kusimudza izwi redu tichipikisa izvi. "
Asi kwete muAmerica. Zviuru zvakamukira Senator Bernie Sanders "revolution" yegore rapfuura musarudzo yemutungamiri wenyika vakaungana pamwe chete panjodzi idzi. Zvekuti mhirizhonga zhinji muAmerica pasi rose hadzina kuitwa nemaRepublicans, kana shanduko dzakaita saVaTrump, asi neveliberal Democrats, zvinoramba zvichinetsa.
Barack Obama akapa apotheosis, nehondo nomwe panguva imwe chete, rekodhi yemutungamiri wenyika, kusanganisira kuparadzwa kweLibya senyika yemazuva ano. Kupidigura kwaVaObama hurumende yakasarudzwa yeUkraine kwave nechido chaidiwa: kuwanda kwemauto eNato anotungamirwa neAmerica kumuganhu weRussia wekumadokero uko maNazi akapinda nechisimba muna 1941.
“Pivot to Asia” yaVaObama muna 2011 yakaratidza kuendeswa kwemauto akawanda emugungwa nendege muAmerica kuenda kuAsia nePacific pasina chinangwa kunze kwekutarisana nekudenha China. Mutambo weNobel Peace Laureate wepasi rose wekuponda vanhu zviri pachena kuti ndiwo wakanyanya kupararira wehugandanga kubvira 9/11.
Izvo zvinozivikanwa muUS se "kuruboshwe" zvakanyatso batana nekwakadzika kwesimba remasangano, kunyanya Pentagon neCIA, kuona chibvumirano cherunyararo pakati paTrump naVladimir Putin uye kudzoreredza Russia semuvengi. nechikonzero chekusava nehumbowo hwekupindira kwayakaita musarudzo dzemutungamiri wenyika dza2016.
Kunyomba kwechokwadi kufungidzira kwesimba kusiri pamutemo nehuipi hwekuita zvehondo izvo zvisina muAmerica akavhotera. Kukurumidza kukwira kwePentagon uye masangano ekutarisa ari pasi paObama akamiririra shanduko yesimba muWashington. Daniel Ellsberg akaridaidza nenzira kwayo kuti coup. Vakuru vatatu vari kutungamira Trump ndivo chapupu chayo.
Zvese izvi zvinotadza kupinda idzo "huropi hwakasununguka hwakanyudzwa mune formaldehyde yekuzivikanwa zvematongerwo enyika", sezvakataurwa naLuciana Bohne zvisingakanganwike. Commodified and marketed tested, "diversity" ndiyo itsva yakasununguka brand, kwete kirasi vanhu vanoshumira pasinei nevakadzi vavo uye ruvara rweganda: kwete basa revose kumisa hondo yebhari kuti ipedze hondo dzose.
"Ko zvasvika sei izvi?" anodaro Michael Moore mumutambo wake weBroadway, Mitemo yeKuzvipira Kwangu, vaudeville yevasina kugadzikana seti yakatarisana neshure kwaTrump seBig Brother.
Ndakayemura firimu raMoore, Roger naMe, nezvekuparadzwa kwehupfumi nemagariro kwetaundi rokumusha kwake reFlint, Michigan, uye Sicko, kuferefeta kwake nezvehuori hwehutano muAmerica.
Husiku hwandakaona purogiramu yake, vateereri vake vachifara zvikuru vakafarira kuvimbiswa kwake kuti “tisu tiri vazhinji!” uye anodana "kupomera Trump, murevi wenhema uye fascist!" Mharidzo yake yaiita sekuti dai wakabata mhino dzako ukavhotera Hillary Clinton, hupenyu hwaizofanotaurwa zvakare.
Anogona kunge ari mugwara. Panzvimbo pekungoshandisa nyika zvakaipa, sezvinoita VaTrump, Mukuru Mudzivisi anogona kunge akarwisa Iran uye akabata mapfumo kuPutin, waakafananidza naHitler: kumwe kunyomba kwakapihwa mamirioni makumi maviri nemanomwe eRussia akafa mukurwiswa naHitler.
“Teerera,” akadaro Moore, “tichiisa parutivi zvinoitwa nehurumende dzedu, vanhu vokuAmerica vanodiwa chaizvo nenyika!”
Kwaiva nekunyarara.
