Zvizhinji zvepasi rose zvinodaidzwa kuti hurongwa hwekukurukurirana hunotambura nezvikanganiso zvakafanana; Ndiri kuzotarisa kuUnited States. Munhu anogona kuongorora zvikanganiso izvi kuburikidza nemisoro yakawanda; Ndichaisa pfungwa dzangu pahondo nerunyararo. Asi mhosva yakaipisisa, ndinofunga, ndeye general iyo inoshanda kune ese misoro. Ndiko kwekutaura zvisingapere kuvanhu kuti havana simba. Masvondo mashoma kumashure, New York Times yakamhanyisa chinyorwa ichiti kuratidzira kusiri kwemhirizhonga pasi rese kwakange kwamira kushanda. Chinyorwa ichi chakataura ongororo yakaitwa naErica Chenoweth, asi kana wakabatana nechidzidzo ichi zvinodhura kuti uiwane. Gare gare zuva iroro Chenoweth akatumira dhizaini yakazara yechinyorwa. Asi vangani vanhu vanoona tweet kubva kune mumwe munhu wavasati vambonzwa nezvake, zvichienzaniswa nevanhu vangani vanoona kufungidzirwa kukuru uye kwakakosha kuwanikwa kwakaitwa uye kuridzwa neNew York Times? Anenge pasina munhu. Uye ndiani akamboona chinyorwa cheNew York Times chichikurudzira, chii chiri chokwadi, kuti hondo inokundikana pachayo zvakanyanya kudarika chiito chisina chisimba chinoita - uye pane chero mazwi anonzwisisika, zvakanyanya kupfuura izvozvo? Zvirokwazvo hapana munhu.

Pfungwa yangu haisi yechimwe chinyorwa. Zvinenge mamiriyoni ezvinyorwa izvo zvose zvinovaka mazviri kunzwisisa kuti kuramba hakuna maturo, kuratidzira upenzi, kupandukira mbeveve, vane simba havana hanya nevoruzhinji, uye chisimba ndicho chishandiso chine simba zvikuru chekupedzisira. Idzi nhema dzakakura kupfuura dzose dzakatutirwa pamusoro pekuratidzwa kwezvinzvimbo zvakakurumbira zveruzhinji semaonero ega ega, zvekuti vanhu vanoda runyararo, kururamisira, uye zvesocialism vanofungidzira nhema kuti vashoma vanobvumirana nazvo. Mirangariro yakawanda, kubatanidza yakakurumbira, yakaipa kupfuura kufuratira. Vanenge vakarambidzwa. Pane kuratidza kukakavara mukati mechikamu chinogamuchirika. Kurudyi une, semuenzaniso, maonero ekuti kutamba World Cup muQatar yakanyatsonaka, uye kuruboshwe maonero ekuti nzvimbo yakadaro yevatorwa kumashure vachishandisa basa revaranda uye kushungurudza vakadzi uye ngochani vanhu vanofanira kudziviswa. Asi hapana kupi, kuruboshwe, kurudyi, kana mune inodaidzwa kuti Center, mauto eUS muQatar - mauto eUS uye kudzidziswa uye mari yehudzvanyiriri muQatar - inogona kutaurwa zvachose.

Kwemakore pave, semuenzaniso, gakava renhau pamusoro peIran kubva pakudiwa kwekubhomba Iran nekuti ine zvombo - zvombo zvinogona kuparadza nyika kana bhomba uye izvo zvingango shandisa chete kana yakabhomba, nzira yese kusvika. kudiwa kwekutemera zvirango zvinouraya kuIran nekuti zvikasadaro ichakurumidza kuva nezvombo izvozvo. Rekodhi yemakumi emakore ekunyepa uye kuranga nekutyisidzira Iran, uye yeIran isiri kugadzira chero zvombo zvenyukireya, hazvitenderwe. Icho chokwadi chekuti United States pachayo inochengetedza zvombo zvenyukireya ichityora Chibvumirano cheNonproliferation hachibvumirwe. Icho chokwadi chekuti Iran ine hurumende inotyisa inobatwa sekuvhara chero kubvunzana kwemitemo yeUS - mitemo ingangoita kuti hurumende iyi iwedzere.

Chikonzero chekutanga chehondo muUS media ndiyo yainodaidza kuti "democracy" - zvichireva kuti, kana paine chero, imwe hurumende inomiririra zvishoma ine ruremekedzo kune dzimwe sarudzo dzakasarudzwa dzekodzero dzevanhu. Izvi zvingaite sezvisinganzwisisike kune vezvenhau izvo zvinowanzoodza moyo veruzhinji kunamira mhino yavo mune chero chinhu. Asi pane chinosiyana, chinoti sarudzo. Muchokwadi, vanhu vakanyanya kutsanangurwa patsva sevavhoti kwezuva rimwe chete makore akati wandei, uye vatengi vari pakati - vakabatikana vanozvitonga havana kumbobvira. Nekudaro, vazhinji vanovhoterwa kuti vatarise bhajeti, iyo yakawanda inopinda muchiuto, haimbobvunzwe chinzvimbo pabhajeti iroro kana nezvechiuto. Vanokwikwidza kuCongress vane mawebhusaiti epuratifomu akawandisa havatauri kuti 96% yevanhu iripo zvachose - kunze kwekunge iwe uchifunga kuti zvinorehwa nekuratidzira kwavo kuzvipira kune veterans. Iwe une sarudzo pakati pemumiriri asina mutemo wekunze, uye mumiriri asina mutemo wekunze. Uye kana ukavatonga nemaitiro avo ekunyarara kana nemapato avo, kana kuti makambani ari kuvapa mari, hapana misiyano mizhinji, uye uchafanirwa kutsvagisa ruzivo rwese pane kuti rwusundirwe pauri. media. Saka, kana zvasvika kune imwe nyika mutemo, kana bhajeti mutemo - kana zvasvika kumubvunzo wekuti kana kusakanda muhondo mari yakawanda inogona kushandura hupenyu hwemabhiriyoni evanhu kuti huve nani kana yakashandiswa zvakasiyana - kuita sarudzo chete. kutarisa kwekutora chikamu kweruzhinji kunobvisa chero kutora kweruzhinji.

Asi hapana chiziviso chiri kubuda mumapepanhau chekuti veruzhinji havatombofungi nezvekutaura pamusoro pemitemo yenyika. Zvinongoitwa saizvozvo sokunge pakanga pasina mumwe, uye hazvifungirwe. Hapana anoziva kuti US yakambosvika pedyo nekuraira mavhoti eruzhinji hondo dzisati dzatanga. Vashoma vanoziva kuti hondo dzaifanirwa kupihwa mvumo neCongress kana kuti hondo dzave kusiri pamutemo ingave yakatenderwa neCongress. Hondo dzakawanda dzinoitika pasina chero munhu anoziva nezve kuvapo kwavo zvachose.

Mune joke rekare muRussia agere neAmerican mundege anoti ari munzira kuenda kuUnited States kunodzidza maitiro ayo ekuparadzira, uye muAmerica anobvunza kuti "Ndeipi nzira dzekuparadzira?" Uye muRussia anopindura, "Chaizvo!"

Mune imwe vhezheni yakagadziridzwa yejee iri, muAmerican anogona kupindura kuti "Ah, unoreva Fox," kana "Ah, unoreva MSNBC," zvichienderana nekuti ichechi ipi yaanopinda. Zvimwe zviri pachena propaganda, semuenzaniso, kuti VaTrump vakahwina sarudzo uye zvakajairika kuti vataure kwemakore kuti VaTrump vaive vaPutin. Kana kuti zviri pachena manyepo ekuti VaTrump vanoshandira Russia, asi nhau dzakareruka dzinotaura kuti VaTrump vakabirwa sarudzo. Iko mukana wekuti maviri anokwikwidza propaganda masisitimu ese anosanganisira chinhu chikuru chemupfudze webhiza haaitike kune vanhu vane nguva yakareba vachifunga nezve propaganda sechinhu chinogona kutapukirwa nevamwe.

Asi fungidzira kuti nhepfenyuro inotsigira democracy ingave yakaita sei. Zvinzvimbo zvaizokakavadzana zvichibva pamaonero everuzhinji nekuratidzira, izvo zvaizokurudzirwa. (Parizvino vezvenhau veUS vanopa pakati penzira yakanaka yekuvhara kuratidzira kana vari kuChina kana chero muvengi akasarudzwa, asi zvinogona kuita zvirinani kunyangwe pane izvo uye zvinofanirwa kunge zvichizviita muUS Media inofanirwa kubata kuratidzira uye kuridza muridzo sevadyidzani.)

Mhinduro hadzingafungidzirwe pamusoro pekuregeredza kubudirira kwavo mune dzimwe nyika dzakawanda. Kuvhota kwaizove kwakadzama uye kunosanganisira mibvunzo yaitevera kupihwa kweruzivo rwakakodzera.

Paisazova nefariro chaiyo inotorwa mumifungo yevapfumi kana kuti vane simba kana kuti avo vave vachikanganisa kazhinji kazhinji. Nepo New York Times nguva pfupi yadarika yakaburitsa chinyorwa nemumwe wevashandi vayo aizvitutumadza nekusatenda mukushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze kudzamara mumwe munhu amubhururuka achienda kunzvimbo ine chando chanyunguduka, zvichireva kuti tinofanira kubhururutsa jackass ese ari paPasi kune chando chiri kunyunguduka toedza kubhururuka. tsvaga imwe nzira yekugadzirisa kukuvadzwa kwemafuta ese ejeti, nhepfenyuro yedemocracy inoshoropodza kunyomba kwakavhurika kwetsvakiridzo yekutanga uye kushora kuramba kubvuma kukanganisa.

Paizove pasina kuchengetedza kusazivikanwa kwevanonyepa vepamutemo. Kana mukuru wemauto akakuudza kuti chombo chinomhara kuPoland chakadzingwa kuRussia, iwe chekutanga hauzvitauri kusvika pane humbowo hwazvo, asi kana ukataura uye zvinobuda pachena kuti mukuru uyu ainyepa, munobva mataura zita romurevi wenhema.

Paizova nefariro chaiyo inotorwa mukunzvera kwakakomba, kwakakodzera kwamaidi. Paizove pasina kushuma kuti mukuru akasarudzwa aive akaomesera mhosva kuburikidza nemitemo inozivikanwa kwemakumi emakore akati wandei yekusaderedza utsotsi. Hakuzove nekushuma pane chero chinhu chinonzi national defence strategy pasina kudoma mutauri semubhadharo wevanobatsiridza zvombo kana pasina kucherechedza kuti zano racho rakafanana nemamwe agara achiisa vanhu pangozi pane kuvadzivirira.

Vanhu vaizosiyaniswa kubva kuhurumende, mukati meUnited States uye kunze kwayo. Hapana aizoshandisa munhu wekutanga-muzhinji kureva chimwe chinhu chakaitwa nemauto eUS muchivande sekunge munhu wese muUnited States akazviita pamwechete.

Mitsara ine ngozi isina zvazvinoreva yaisazoshandiswa kana kutorwa pasina tsananguro. Hondo inoshandisa uye inowedzera hugandanga haizonzi "hondo yehugandanga." Hondo iyo vatori vechikamu vanonyanya kuda kubva mairi uye iyo, chero zvakadaro, mutemo kwete munhu kana boka revanhu, haingatsanangurirwe seiri kukurudzirwa ne "kutsigira mauto." Hondo iri pachena yakatsamwiswa mumakore mazhinji yaisazonzi "hondo isina kukanganisa."

(Ruregerero rwangu kana iwe uri mutsva kurudzi rwemawebhusaiti kuenda pamusoro penzira dzisingaverengeki idzo hondo yakatsamwiswa, asi kune zviuru zvemawebhusaiti akadaro, uye vakuru vakuru veUS, vamiriri vakaita saGeorge Kennan, vasori senge iyezvino mutungamiriri weCIA. , uye vamwe vasingaverengeki vakanyevera nezvedenho dzokuwedzera NATO, kupa Eastern Europe zvombo, kupidigura hurumende yeUkraine, kupa zvombo zveUkraine [izvo kunyange Mutungamiri Obama vakaramba kuita nokuti zvaizova kudenha] nezvimwewo, nezvimwewo. pamusoro mashoma emavhidhiyo emagazini uye mishumo inowanikwa pachena uye yakagadzirwa mukati memwedzi 9 yadarika.

Mhemberero dzetsika dzehondo dzisati dzaitwa zviitiko zvemitambo hazvingataurwi pasina kutaura kana madhora emutero aibhadhara. Mabhaisikopo nemitambo yemavhidhiyo zvaisazoongororwa pasina kutaura kana mauto eUS aive neutariri hwekunyora.

Vezvenhau vedemocracy vaizomira kutsigira zvinodiwa neavo vane masimba votanga kutsigira mitemo ine hungwaru neine mukurumbira. Iko hakuna kwazvakarerekera kana chinangwa kana mwari nezve kutarisisa kuUkraine asi kwete Yemen kana Siria kana Somalia, kana nezvekutaura pamusoro pezvinotyisa zveRussia asi kwete zveUkraine, kana nezvekushoropodza kushomeka kwedemokrasi muRussia asi kwete muUkraine. Mafungiro ekuti Ukraine inofanirwa kuve nepfuti uye nhaurirano haifanirwe kutariswa, senge iyo kana kwete, maonero. Hakusi kumwe kusavapo kwemafungiro. Nhepfenyuro yedemocracy yaizopa zvakanyanya, pane zvishoma, kutarisisa kune idzo pfungwa dzakakurumbira dzichiwana kushomeka muhurumende. Vezvenhau vedemocracy vaizopa vanhu zano, kwete chete nezvefashoni nekudya uye mamiriro ekunze, asi nezve marongero ezviitwa zvisina mhirizhonga uye nzira yekutsvagisa mutemo. Iwe unenge uine zvirongwa zverally uye kudzidzisa-ins uye yekunzwa uye mavhoti ari kuuya, kwete mishumo mushure mechokwadi pane zvakaitwa neCongress sekunge waisatomboda kuziva nezvazvo zvisati zvaitika.

Nhepfenyuro yedemocracy muUnited States haingasiye chero kutsamwa kweRussia, asi ingasanganisira zvese zvakasiiwa chokwadi chataudzana pazviuru zvemawebhusaiti akawandisa kwemwedzi. Vanhu vaizoziva nezvekuwedzera kweNATO, kubviswa kwezvibvumirano, kutumirwa kwezvombo, kupandukira kwa2014, yambiro, yambiro inotyisa, makore ekurwa, uye kudzokororwa kuedza kudzivirira rugare.

(Zvakare, unogona kutanga nemawebhusaiti iwayo. Ndichaaisa pachat.)

Vanhu vaizoziva chokwadi chechokwadi chebhizinesi rehondo kazhinji, kuti zvombo zvakawanda zvinobva kuUS, kuti hondo zhinji dzine zvombo zveUS pamativi ese, kuti hudzvanyiriri huzhinji hunotsigirwa neuto reUS, izvo zvigadziko zvakawanda zvemauto kunze kwemiganhu yenyika yavo. zvigadziko zvemauto eUS, izvo mari zhinji inoshandiswa nemauto neUS nevabatsiri vayo, iyo yakawanda yerubatsiro rweUS kuUkraine inoenda kumakambani ezvombo - iwo makuru mashanu ari pasi rose ari muWashington DC.

Vanhu vaizoziva chokwadi pamusoro pekutadza kwehondo maererano nezvavanoda uye nezvemitengo isingambotariswe: chii chingaitwe nemari panzvimbo, kukanganisa kwezvakatipoteredza, kukuvadzwa kwehutongi hwemutemo uye nekubatana kwepasirese, kuwedzera kwakapihwa rusarura, uye mhedzisiro inotyisa kune vanhu.

Sezvinongoita muGerman anogona kurondedzera huwandu hwezvivi zveNazi Germany, mugari wemuUS anogona kukuudza mukati memirairo mishoma yehukuru huwandu hwevanhu vakaurayiwa nekukuvadzwa uye vasina pekugara muhondo dzeUS.

Vanhu vaizoziva ruzivo rwekutanga nezvezvombo zvenyukireya. Kutaura zvazviri, hapana aizotenda kuti hondo yechando yakambopera kana kutangazve, sezvo zvombo zvisina kumboenda. Vanhu vaizoziva kuti zvombo zvenyukireya zvaizoitei, chando chenyukireya chii, vangani vakapotsa padyo nezviitiko netsaona, uye mazita evanhu vakachengetedza hupenyu hwese paPasi kunyangwe vanga vari maRussia.

Ndakanyora bhuku muna 2010 rinonzi War Is A Lie, ndikarivandudza muna 2016. Pfungwa iyi yaive yekubatsira vanhu kuona manyepo, sevakaudzwa nezveAfghanistan neIraq, nekukurumidza. Pane, ndakapokana, hapana chikonzero chekumirira kuti chokwadi chibude. Hapana chikonzero chekuziva kuti vanhu havadi nyika dzavo dzakagarwa. Unogona kuziva izvozvo pachine nguva. Hapana chikonzero chekuziva kuti Bin Laden angadai akatongwa, sezvo pasina dambudziko mune izvozvo rinogona kupembedza hondo. Hapana chikonzero chekuziva kuti Iraq haina kana chimwe chezvombo izvo US inazvo pachena, sezvo kubatwa kweUS kwezvombo izvi kunopa chikonzero chekurwiswa kweUS, uye kuve neIraq nezvombo zvimwe chete izvi hazvikonzerese kurwiswa kweIraq. Nemamwe mashoko, nhema dzinogara dziri pachena. Runyararo runofanira kunyatso dziviswa uye kudziviswa, uye kunyangwe kana rwadziviswa, mutemo wakanaka ndewekushanda kuti udzoke uye uise hutongi hwemutemo pane kutonga kwezino neclaw.

Mune epilogue yangu ya2016 ndakaona kuti kuratidzira kwakamisa kubhomba kwekapeti kweSyria muna 2013. Muvengi akange asina kuitwa kuti atye zvakakwana. Hondo yanga yanyanya kunge Iraq, uye yakawandisa seLibya - zvese zvinoonekwa senjodzi muWashington nepasirese. Asi gore rakatevera, ndakaratidza, mavhidhiyo anotyisa eISIS akabvumira US kuti iwedzere kupisa kwayo. Kubva ipapo Iraq Syndrome yapera. Vanhu vakanganwa. Russia - mumufananidzo waPutin - yakabatwa nedhimoni zvakanyanya kwemakore, iine chokwadi uye nhema dzinoseka, uye zvese zviri pakati. Uye zvino Russia yakave yakataurwa zvakanyanya pamusoro pekuita zvinhu zvinotyisa zvakanyanya zvinogona kuitwa, kuzviita sezvakafanotaurwa neUS, uye kuzviita kune vanhu vanotaridzika sevanoshushwa nhau kuUS midhiya.

Chekupedzisira, vakawirwa nehondo vanopihwa kumwe kufukidzwa, asi pasina munhu anonongedza kuti hondo dzese dzine avo vakabatwa kumativi ese.

Kubudirira kweparaganda muna uye kubva munaFebruary kwave kushamisa. Vanhu vasingakwanisi kukuudza kuti Ukraine yaive nyika vhiki isati yada kutaura nezve chimwe chinhu, uye kupedza vatorwa, uye maonero avo mune dzakawanda zviitiko haana kuchinjwa mumwedzi ye9. Kubata Ukraine kusvika kuzvipira kweRussia kusingabvumirwe kwave uye kwakaramba kusinga pinduke, zvachose zvisinei nekuti mukana wanga uri wekuti zviitike sei, weiyi mikana yaive yekukonzeresa nyukireya apocalypse, yekuti kutambura kwaizove chii kubva muhondo, yei kutambura. kwaizobva mukutsauswa kwezviwanikwa muhondo, kana kuti kukuvadzwa kupi kwaizoitwa kuedza kwepasi rose kugadzirisa matambudziko asiri esarudzo.

Ndakaedza kuwana kunyatso taura nezve mukana wekutaurirana rugare mune op-ed muWashington Post, uye vakaramba. Sangano reCongressional Progressive caucus rakaedza kupa pachena nhaurirano, kunyangwe mukubatana nezvombo zvemahara zvisina muganho, uye yakarohwa zvakaipisisa nevezvenhau zvekuti vakapika kuti havana kumbozvirevesa. Ehe, Nancy Pelosi uye pamwe naJoe Biden vakapokana nenhema dzakadaro pachivande, asi vezvenhau raive izwi rehasha reveruzhinji - midhiya imwechete iyo, Biden naPutin pavakasangana gore rapfuura, vakasundidzira vatungamiri vese kuti vawedzere ruvengo.

Nguva pfupi yadarika yainzi Progressive Caucus's fiasco, vezvenhau veUS vakataura kuti hutongi hweBiden hwaikurudzira hurumende yeUkraine kuti iite kunge yakavhurika nhaurirano, nekuti izvo zvaizofadza veEurope, uye nekuti zvairatidzika kunge zvakaipa kuti Russia chete ndiyo yaizoti. vhurai nhaurirano. Asi sei kudyisa mashoko iwayo kune vanobudisa nhau? Kwakanga kuri kusawirirana muhurumende here? Kusaziva kusavimbika? Kusataurisana kana kutaura zvisirizvo? Zvimwe zvishoma pane imwe neimwe, asi ndinofunga kuti tsananguro inogona kunge iri yekuti White House inotenda kuti ruzhinji rweUS rwakanyanya kudivi rayo, uye yakajairwa kumanikidza nhema pamusoro peRussia, zvekuti inogona kuverengerwa kutsigira kukumbira Ukraine kunyepa. kubatsira kuchengetedza Russia kuti isataridzike pamusoro petsika. Ndiani asingadi kuve mune yakasviba yakavanzika maitiro ekukunda masimba ehuipi?

Svondo rapfuura, ndakatambira tsambambozha kubva kuNational Endowment for Democracy yaiti “Ukraine inoratidza imwe nzira yekuti America ishandise simba rayo pachinzvimbo cherusununguko: Panzvimbo pekutumira mauto kunorwira uye kufira hunyengeri hwegutsaruzhinji munyika dzinoshomeka, tumira zvombo kunobatsira. democracy chaiyo inodzinga mupambi wekunze. Hapana mauto eUS, hapana kupindira muhondo dzevagari vemo, hapana chivakwa chenyika, hapana kuenda wega. "

Saka, iwe unoona, dzimwe nyika dzaunorwisa hadzina mutsa, uye kana mauto eUS aripo mumwe munhu akakosha ari kufa, kunyangwe angori mashoma muzana ekufa. Idzo Hondo munzvimbo dzinotyisa dzisingagari imhaka yevanhu varipo uye inogona kurongekazve sehondo dzevagari vemo kubatsira Steven Pinker kuvasiya uye kunyepedzera kuti hondo iri kuparara. Iwo mibatanidzwa mikuru yevatengi vezvombo vakapinzwa kupinda muhondo idzodzo haapo, uye hondo chaidzo dzaive kuvakwa kwemarudzi kuri kuputswa. Asi iwe paunongopa makomo ezvombo zvemahara kune imwe nyika wovaudza kuti vasambotaurirana wobva waudza munhu wese kuti inyika iyo inoramba kutaurirana uye kuti zvingave unzenza kuti uvabvunze, izvo zvinonzi kusaenda wega. Ndicho chinhu chinotevera chakanakisa kunyatso bvumira zvibvumirano uye kuita maererano nazvo.

Iyi ndiyo nyaya yakatengeswa. Kuti tirege kuitengesa, taizoda masisitimu ekufambisirana mashoko anobvumira kufambiswa kwemashoko. Wanga uchiziva here kuti unogona kuisa zvikwangwani mumaguta eUS kutengesa zvombo asi kwete, kazhinji, kupikisa hondo? Zvinorambidzwa. Waiziva here kuti kana iwe uchipikisa hondo inhema zvakanyanya nenzira isina kururama iwe unogona kunyaradzwa pamagariro evanhu nemakambani ega ega anobvumira uye anokurudzira hondo yekusimudzira?

Tinoda zvatagara tichida: kunzwisisa zviri nani uye debunking yenhau, kusikwa kuri nani kwevezvenhau vakazvimiririra, uye 0.1% yebhajeti remauto reUS rekushandura hurongwa hwedu hwekutaurirana.
