Ndiyavumelana noSihlalo weeNtloko zeNtloko zabasebenzi kwiziseko zangaphandle

NguDavid Swanson, ngoDisemba 11, 2020

Usenokuba uvile ukuba iNdlu yabaMeli baseMelika iphumelele nje ukuhlawula ityala lokuchitha i-741 yezigidigidi zeedola ziphinda zithiya amagama eziseko zomkhosi esele zibizwa ngokuba zii-Confederates. Unokucinga ukuba ngumbono omkhulu kodwa usazibuza ngexabiso lethegi.

Ewe imfihlelo yeyokuba-nangona uninzi lwamajelo eendaba emalunga nokuqanjwa kwegama elitsha - umthetho oyilwayo ngokwawo phantse umalunga nenkxaso mali (inxalenye) yomatshini womkhosi obiza kakhulu emhlabeni: iinjukhu ezininzi, izixhobo "eziqhelekileyo", izixhobo ezingaphezulu zesithuba, ngaphezulu kwe-F-35s kunePentagon nokuba ifunwa, njl.

Qho ngonyaka, ulwabiwo lomkhosi kunye nemvume yokugunyazisa kuphela kwetyala lokuya kwiCongress apho uninzi lwamajelo eendaba lusoloko luzinikele kwimiba ethile esecaleni kwaye lungaze lwenze into eyilwayo.

Phantse ayikhe ithiwe thaca kumajelo eendaba le mithetho iyilwayo, umzekelo, iziseko zangaphandle, okanye iindleko zazo ezinkulu zezemali, okanye ukunqongophala kwenkxaso yoluntu kubo. Ngeli xesha, nangona kunjalo, kuye kwakhankanywa into yokuba lo mthetho uyilwayo uthintela ukususwa kwemikhosi yase-US kunye ne-mercenaries eJamani nase-Afghanistan.

UTrump ufuna ukutsala iqhekeza lamajoni ase-US aphume eJamani ukohlwaya iJamani- okanye mandithi, urhulumente waseJamani, okanye iJamani ecinga njalo, kuba uluntu lwaseJamani luyayithanda. Amagqabantshintshi kaTrump kwiAfghanistan akasengqiqweni okanye abenovelwano kunaseJamani. Kodwa umbono wokuba umntu angaxhasa ukurhoxa komkhosi ngenxa yezizathu ezahluke kakhulu kunezo zikaTrump phantse ukuba azikho kwaphela kumajelo eendaba e-US, kuba akamelwe liqela eliphambili lezopolitiko.

Nangona kunjalo, uSihlalo weeNtloko zeNtloko zabasebenzi uMark Milley kule veki zichazwe uluvo lokuba iziseko zangaphandle zaseMelika, okanye ubuncinci kuzo, kufuneka zivaliwe. UMilley ufuna i-Navy enkulu, inzondo enkulu e-China, kwaye uyithathela ingqalelo imfazwe e-Afghanistan. Andisoloko ndivumelana naye kwinto yonke, ukuyibeka kakuhle. Izizathu zakhe zokufuna ukuvala iziseko ayizizo ezam, kodwa azikho nangayiphi na indlela. Ke, umntu akanakukuthintela ukuthathela ingqalelo isindululo sikaMilley ngokusixela njengeTyumpian.

Ubuncinci i-90% yeziseko zomkhosi wamanye amazwe ehlabathini ziziseko zase-US. I-United States ingaphezulu kwama-150,000 amajoni omkhosi athunyelwe ngaphandle kwe-United States ngaphezulu kwe Iisiseko ze800 (uqikelelo oluthile luyiyo Ngaphezu kwe1000) kumazwe ayi-175, nawo onke amazwekazi ayi-7. Iziseko zihlala ziintlekele zokusingqongileyo, njengoko zinjalo ngaphakathi eUnited States. Kwaye zihlala ziintlekele zopolitiko. Iziseko zibonakalise yenza iimfazwe ngakumbi, hayi kancinci. Basebenza kwiimeko ezininzi ukuya ziphakamise oorhulumente abacinezelayo, uku ukuququzelela ukuthengiswa okanye ukuxhotyiswa ngezixhobo kunye nokubonelelwa ngoqeqesho koorhulumente abacinezelayo, kunye nokuthintela iinzame zoxolo okanye izixhobo.

Ngokutsho kwe Inqaku le-AP yapapashwa phantse akukho ndawo, uMilley wakhankanya iBahrain kunye noMzantsi Korea ngokukodwa. I-Bahrain bubuzwilakhe obunobuzwilakhe obunoburhalarhume obuye baba njalo ngakumbi kwiminyaka yeTump, ngokuphendula ngokuthe ngqo kwinkxaso evela kuTrump.

UHamad bin Isa Al Khalifa ubenguKumkani waseBahrain ukusukela ngo-2002, xa wazenza uKumkani, ngaphambi koko wabizwa ngokuba ngu-Emir. WayenguEmir ngo-1999 ngenxa yokufezekisa kwakhe, okokuqala, okhoyo, kwaye okwesibini, ukusweleka kukayise. IKumkani inabafazi abane, mnye kuphela kubo ngumzala wakhe.

UHamad bin Isa Al Khalifa ujongane nabaqhankqalazi abangenabundlobongela ngokubadubula, babaxhwila, babangcungcuthekisa kwaye babavalela. Ubohlwaye abantu ngokuthethela amalungelo oluntu, kwanokuba "uthuke ukumkani" okanye iflegi yakhe - amatyala athwala isigwebo seminyaka esixhenxe entolongweni kunye nentlawulo enkulu.

NgokweSebe likaRhulumente wase-US, “iBahrain ligunya lokulawula ngokomgaqo-siseko. . . . Imiba yamalungelo oluntu [ibandakanya] izityholo zokuhlukunyezwa; ukuvalelwa ngokungenasizathu; amabanjwa ezopolitiko; ukuphazamiseka ngokungenasizathu okanye ngokungekho mthethweni kwimfihlo; izithintelo kwinkululeko yokuthetha, kumaphephandaba, nakwi-intanethi, kubandakanya ukuvalwa, ukuthintela indawo, kunye nokunyelisa ulwaphulo-mthetho; ukuphazamiseka okukhulu kwamalungelo endibano yoxolo kunye nenkululeko yokuzibandakanya, kubandakanya nokuthintela imibutho ezimeleyo engekho phantsi kukarhulumente (NGOs) ekusebenzeni ngokukhululekileyo elizweni. ”

Ngokwabantu baseMelika abangenzi nzuzo ngedemokhrasi kunye namalungelo oluntu eBahrain, ubukumkani bukhona "Ukwaphula umthetho okufutshane" weSivumelwano seHlabathi samaLungelo oLuntu kunye nezoPolitiko, kunye namapolisa ayo iipateni ezimiselweyo ukuvalelwa ngokungekho semthethweni, ukungcungcuthekiswa, ukudlwengulwa nokubulawa ngokungenamthetho. Bhareyini kwakhona “Phakathi kwamazwe anobupolisa kakhulu ehlabathini, anamalunga nama-46 e-MOI [Icandelo loMphathiswa Wezangaphakathi] kubemi abali-1,000 XNUMX. Eli nani lingaphezulu ngokuphindwe kabini kunelo lolawulo lobuzwilakhe lukaSaddam Hussein eIraq, olwaluluncitshise kakhulu ulawulo olufanayo eIran naseBrazil. ”

Abasasazi bemfazwe abathanda ukwenza ngathi ilizwe eliza kuqhushumba linomntu omnye ongendawo angahlawula imali enkulu ukuze afumane ithuba lokusebenzisa uHamad bin Isa Al Khalifa njengendawo yokuma kwabantu abahluphekayo baseBahrain. Kodwa u-Al Khalifa akajoliswanga kwimidiya yase-US okanye emkhosini wase-US.

UHamad bin Isa Al Khalifa wafundiswa ngumkhosi wase-US. Uphumelele kwi-United States Army Command kunye neKholeji yabasebenzi ngokubanzi eFort Leavenworth eKansas. Uthathelwa ingqalelo njengeqabane elihle laseMelika, iBritane nabanye oorhulumente baseNtshona. Umkhosi wamanzi wase-US useka iFifth Fleet yawo eBahrain. Urhulumente wase-US ubonelela ngoqeqesho kwezomkhosi kunye nenkxaso mali kwi-Bahrain, kwaye uququzelela ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo ezenziwe e-US e-Bahrain.

Unyana omkhulu kaKumkani kunye nendlalifa ebonakalayo wayefundiswe kwiYunivesithi yaseMelika eWashington, DC, nakwiQueen's College, kwiDyunivesithi yaseCambridge, eNgilane.

Ngo-2011, iBahrain yaqasha umphathi wamapolisa wase-US u-John Timoney, owayedume ngenkohlakalo efunyenwe eMiami nase-Philadelphia, ukunceda urhulumente wase-Bahraini esoyikisa kwaye aphathe kakubi abantu, wenze. Njenge ye 2019, “Amapolisa ayaqhubeka nokufumana uqeqesho lwezixhobo zawo ezenziwe eMelika. Ukusuka ngo-2007 ukuya ku-2017, umrhafi werhafu waseMelika wanika malunga ne- $ 7 yezigidi ngoncedo lwezokhuseleko kwi-MOI kwaye ngokukodwa amapolisa ombhodamo - umkhosi wamapolisa owaziwayo olawula uninzi lokubulala ngokungenamthetho, uqhankqalazo olungenakubalwa, kunye nohlaselo oluhlaselayo kumabanjwa. UMongameli uDonald Trump ngoku wandisa iinkqubo zoqeqesho ze-MOI emva kokuba iiyunithi zisilele ukuvavanywa komthetho weLeahy phantsi kolawulo luka-Obama, ephakamisa inkqubo ebanzi yeekhosi ezili-10 zonyaka ka-2019 ezibandakanya iingcebiso 'zokuhlasela.' ”

UMilley khange akhankanye ngeBahrain ngenxa yayo nayiphi na inkxalabo yam, okanye nangenxa yokuba akafuni iinqanawa ezinkulu zomkhosi wamanzi ezime kwihlabathi jikelele; ufuna ngaphezulu kubo. Kodwa uMilley ucinga ukuba kuyabiza kwaye kuyingozi ukubeka inani elikhulu lamajoni ase-US kunye neentsapho zawo kwiziseko ezikude.

Ngoku ka Maxesha oMkhosi, UMilley “ujoyina ikwayara ekhulayo yamagosa aphezulu kwezokhuselo athe awabuza ngemfuneko yokumisa ngokusisigxina imikhosi kwihlabathi liphela.” Inkxalabo kaMilley kukuba oku kubeka emngciphekweni amalungu osapho. “Andinangxaki nathi, thina sinxibe iyunifomu, ukuba sengozini - yilento esihlawulelwa yona. Nguwo lo msebenzi wethu, akunjalo? ” uthe. Ngaba kufanele ukuba ngumsebenzi wakhe nabani na? Ukuba iziseko zidala ubutshaba, ngaba nabani na ongakwaziyo ukufikelela kwikholeji kufuneka aye kuzo ukuze kuxhamle abathengisi bezixhobo? Ndiyalwazi uluvo lwam ngaloo nto. Kodwa noSihlalo weeNtloko zeNtloko zeFrickin zeziko elikhusele kakuhle eMntla Melika iinkosi azifuni ukubeka iintsapho zabantu kwiziseko zangaphandle.

Ingxaki inokuba kukuba amaqabane omtshato kunye namalungu osapho angafuni ukuhlala kuluntu localu-calulo abaxhobileyo abaxhobileyo kuyonzakalisa ukuqeshwa nokugcinwa. Ukuba kunjalo, zintathu ezonwabisayo kwiintsapho! Kodwa ukuba iziseko azifuneki, kwaye siyayazi ingozi abayenzayo, kwaye iidola zase-US zikarhulumente akufuneki zixhase ngemali ukuyilwa kwazo zonke ezi mini-disneyland-Little-America emva kweendonga zeTrump, kutheni ungayeki ukuyenza?

UMilley ukwathe uMzantsi Korea, enye indawo apho iCongress kule minyaka idlulileyo ikuthintele ngovuyo ukususwa okungafunekiyo nakweyiphi na imikhosi yaseMelika. Kodwa uMzantsi Korea ngoku unorhulumente ozimiseleyo ukumelana norhulumente wase-US, kwaye uluntu oluyaziyo imikhosi yase-US kunye nezixhobo zezona zinto ziphazamisana noxolo kunye nokudibana. Ububi bukaTrump kule meko buthatha uhlobo lokufuna ukuba iSouth Korea ihlawule ngaphezulu ngokuhlala kwayo e-US (ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyonto iphambeneyo njengomnqweno kaNeera Tanden wokuba iLibya ihlawule ukubhombiswa), kodwa inkuthazo kaMilley, kwakhona, yahlukile. UMilley, ngokwe-AP, ukhathazekile ukuba i-United States ekugqibeleni iyakwazi ukungena emfazweni omtsha, amalungu osapho e-US aya kuba semngciphekweni. Akukho nto ikhankanyiweyo kwiintsapho ezihlala kumazwe aseAsia. Kukho ukuzimisela okuvulekileyo kokubeka umngcipheko kubomi bemikhosi yase-US. Kodwa iintsapho zemikhosi yase-US-ngabo bantu babalulekileyo.

Xa olo hlobo lokuziphatha luthintelweyo luthanda ukuvala iziseko, mhlawumbi ukuvulwa kunye nokugcinwa kweziseko kufuneka kubonwe kukukhanya okungaphezulu kunoko kuvunyelwe yimithombo yeendaba yase-US.

UMilley uyayiqonda i-inertia, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo inzuzo kunye nezopolitiko ezisemva kwayo. Ucebisa ukuba ukuhlala mfutshane kwimikhosi ngaphandle kweentsapho kunokuba sisisombululo. Kodwa ayisiyonto ininzi. Ayilungisi ingxaki esisiseko yokubeka iinkampu zomkhosi kumazwe abo bonke abanye abantu. Ayithathi ingqalelo izimvo zoluntu lwaseMelika ngokubanzi. Ukuba kuye kwafuneka ndibukele umsitho wezemidlalo kumabonwakude kwaye ndixelelwe ukuba imikhosi yase-US exhobileyo ibibukele kumazwe ali-174 endaweni ye-175, andizukuphazamiseka, kwaye bendizokubhebhisa phantse kungabikho mntu ubonayo. Ndicinga ukuba kuya kuba njalo nge-173 okanye i-172. Esihogweni, ndingakulungela ukuvotela uluntu lwase-US malunga nokuba zingaphi na izizwe emkhosini wase-US ngoku ezinemikhosi kwaye sinciphise inyani nakweyiphi na into abantu abacinga ukuba iyiyo.
