NguDoug Bandow, Hill.
Umkhuhlane wemfazwe ubonakala ubetha umkhuhlane eWashington. Mongameli uDonald Trump walumkisa ukuba kukho ithuba lokuba "enkulu, impixano enkulu” noMntla Korea. Wezisa lonke ubulungu beSenethi yase-US kwiNdlu eNgcaciso yoMhlophe ukuze enze ingcaciso emfutshane malunga nongquzulwano olunokubakho.
Iqela lamalungu lenza umdaniso wesiqhelo weCongressal war othi uqhambuka xa iinkomanda ze-wannabe-in-chief zityhala umongameli ukuba athathe inyathelo! USen. Lindsey Graham ebesenza ityala lemfazwe kwiveki ephelileyo. Uxelele i-NBC ukuba uthanda imfazwe yokuthintela "Ukuba oko kuya kuthatha. "
Ngenxa yokuba kunokwenzeka ukuba uMntla Korea unokuziphindezela, uLindsey wavuma ukuba ungquzulwano olulandelayo “luya kuba lubi kuSingasiqithi waseKorea. Kuya kuba kubi eTshayina. Kuya kuba kubi eJapan, kube kubi kuMzantsi Korea. Iya kuba sisiphelo seNorth Korea. ”
Noko ke, ngolwaneliseko, wathi ubuncinane “imfazwe iya kube iphelile (apho), ngekhe ibekho. Ke ungquzulwano "alunaku ... lubethe iMelika." Ewe, yintuthuzelo encinci leyo kubantu baseMzantsi Korea, abafanele ukuba ngamahlakani ethu.
Kwaye nangona kunjalo, amaxhoba ase-US anokuba phezulu kakhulu, njengoko imikhosi yaseMelika igxalathelane ukuya kumisa uhlaselo lwaseNyakatho Korea luxhaswa zibhayoloji, iikhemikhali, kunye nezixhobo zenyukliya. Lulonke uqikelelo lwengozi luqala kumashumi amawaka kunye nogqatso oluya phezulu. Ukuqala imfazwe echithwe yi-US iminyaka engama-64 izama ukuyinqanda kuya kuba bubudenge obungaqhelekanga.
Ngokukodwa kuba kukho indlela elula kakhulu yokususa iNorth Korea ekujoliswe kuyo kwizixeko zaseMelika. Ukurhoxisa imikhosi yase-US kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseKorea.
Abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo baseWashington bothuswa yingcinga yokuba iPyongyang inokukwazi ukujolisa iMelika ngoyaba into yokuba i-US isesichengeni sohlaselo lweSoviet uninzi lweMfazwe ebandayo. Ekugqibeleni i-China yongeze isakhono esingaqhelekanga sokwenza njalo.
Nangona kunjalo iinkokeli ezingcolileyo njengoJoseph Stalin kunye noMao Zedong abazange bahlasele iMelika. Babengafuni ukufa okanye ukutshabalalisa ibutho labo. Ukuhlasela i-US bekuya kubangela impindezelo eyoyikekayo. I-Mutual Assured Destruction yimfundiso embi, kodwa yasebenza amashumi eminyaka ukugcina uxolo.
Nangona kunjalo, kubonakala ngathi kukho ingcinga eqhelekileyo yokuba inkokeli yaseNyakatho Korea eneminyaka engama-33 ubudala uKim Jong-un ayinangqondo, kwaye iyaphambana. Ukhohlakele, kodwa loo nto ayimenzi ukuba azibulale: yena, njengoyise noyisemkhulu, ukhetha iintombi zakhe kweli hlabathi.
UKim ubonakala emncinci, enomsindo, kwaye engakhathali, kodwa ngokungafihlisiyo akahlukanga kangako kumongameli wethu wakudala, onomsindo, nongakhathaliyo. Ngokuchasene nokoyikayo, uKim uphendula ngokusengqiqweni njengentloko yelizwe elibuthathaka kwindawo enzima yezopolitiko esongelwa ngamandla amakhulu ehlabathi athi rhoqo asuse oorhulumente angabathandiyo.
UKim akanamdla ekuhlaseleni i-US Ufuna ukumisa iWashington ekumhlaseleni. Jonga imephu: Leliphi ilizwe elinesivumelwano sokhuseleko notshaba lwembali lwesinye isizwe? Leliphi ilizwe elibeke amajoni kunye nezixhobo kweso sizwe nakufutshane naso? Leliphi ilizwe elihlala lithumela iinqanawa ukuba zihambe kufutshane, iinqwelomoya ukuba zibhabhe, kunye nemikhosi ukuba isebenze ngokubambisana kwelinye ilizwe? Leliphi ilizwe elihlala linyanzelisa utshintsho lolawulo, kubandakanywa oozwilakhe abazizidenge ngokwaneleyo ukuba bancame ngokuzithandela iinkqubo zabo zenyukliya kunye nemijukujelwa?
Ngaphezu koko, iWashington yenza konke oku ngezizathu ngaphandle kokukhusela i-US kwizisongelo zangaphandle. Imfazwe ebandayo iphelile: iiKorea aziseyiyo inxalenye yomzabalazo wehlabathi kunye noBukhosi obungendawo.
Okubaluleke nangakumbi, iROK namhlanje yodlula kakhulu uMntla kuwo wonke umlinganiselo wamandla ngaphandle komkhosi, kwaye le yokugqibela ibonisa isigqibo sikarhulumente waseMzantsi Korea. Ngenkxaso yase-US, kutheni uzikhathaza ngokwakha umkhosi okwaziyo ukunqanda kwaye woyise lowo waseNyakatho Korea? Intlalontle yamazwe ngamazwe idala inkuthazo etshabalalisayo, kanye njengedoli yasekhaya.
Ukungabikho kweMelika kwindawo, iPyongyang ayinaso isizathu sokusongela i-US Ngokwenene, ukwenza oko kuya kuba bubudenge. UMntla awukabhengezi injongo yawo yokutshisa iIndiya, iNigeria, uMzantsi Afrika, iJamani, iBrazil, iPeru, iNew Zealand, iFiji, neCosta Rica, phakathi kwabanye. Akukho namnye kubo osongela iNorth Korea. Akukho nto iPyongyang inokunqanda.
Ngokucacileyo, umbono wokubuyela umva kwe-US ngomkhosi uphikisana nentanda-bulumko yokungenelela kwe-bipartisan elawula iCapitol Hill. Ukanti abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo baseMelika kufuneka babuze: Ngeliphi ixabiso? Balungiselela ntoni ukuya emfazweni? Balungiselela ntoni ukubeka esichengeni semfazwe yenyukliya?
Ukukhusela uMzantsi Korea, onamaxesha angama-40 e-GDP kwaye kabini kubemi baseMantla, ngumbandela wokuzikhethela. Izolo ukuzifaka emngciphekweni wokubandakanyeka kumzabalazo wesiqhelo owoyikekayo. Ngoku iindleko luqhankqalazo olunokwenzeka lwenyukliya kwiziseko zase-US eAsia. Ngomso isenokuba kukutshiswa kweLos Angeles, Seattle, okanye izixeko ezingaphaya kwelizwe. Ngaba loo ngozi iyathetheleleka?
Akukho nto inje ngesidlo sasemini sasimahla, ingcali yezoqoqosho ephumelele iwonga likaNobel uMilton Friedman wayekuthanda ukuthetha. Kuyinyaniso oko kumgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle kunye noqoqosho. Gxumela kwingxabano yomnye umntu kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba utshiswe. Kulo mzekelo, umphumo unokuba kukufumana nuked. Kungcono ukuba iWashington ihlehle umva kunokuba iqalise imfazwe namhlanje okanye ifumane isiteleka senyukliya ngomso.
