Umongameli uBiden kunye neeDemokhrasi babe igxeka kakhulu Umgaqo-nkqubo kaMongameli uTrump wezangaphandle, ngoko bekusengqiqweni ukulindela ukuba iBiden iza kuzilungisa ngokukhawuleza iimpembelelo zayo ezimbi. Njengelungu eliphezulu kulawulo luka-Obama, ngokuqinisekileyo uBiden wayengadingi sikolo kwizivumelwano zozakuzo zika-Obama kunye neCuba kunye ne-Iran, zombini ezo zaqala ukusombulula iingxaki zomgaqo-nkqubo welizwe langaphandle ekudala zikho kwaye zabonelela ngeemodeli zogxininiso oluhlaziyiweyo kwidiplomacy awayeyithembisa uBiden.
Ngelishwa eMelika nakwilizwe jikelele, uBiden akaphumelelanga ukubuyisela amanyathelo aqhubela phambili ka-Obama, kwaye endaweni yoko uye waphinda kabini kweyona migaqo-nkqubo kaTrump iyingozi kakhulu kwaye idodobalisa. Iyamangalisa kwaye ilusizi into yokuba umongameli obaleke ngokungagungqiyo ekwahlukeni kuTrump ebemathidala ukubuyisela umva imigaqo-nkqubo yakhe. Ngoku ukungaphumeleli kweDemokhrasi ukuphumeza izithembiso zabo ngokubhekiselele kumgaqo-nkqubo wasekhaya kunye nangaphandle kujongela phantsi ithemba labo kunyulo lwaphakathi kwekota kaNovemba.
Nalu uvavanyo lwethu lokuphatha kukaBiden imiba elishumi ebalulekileyo yenkqubo yangaphandle:
1. Ukwandisa intlungu yabantu base-Afghanistan. Mhlawumbi luphawu lweengxaki zomgaqo-nkqubo we-Biden wangaphandle ukuba impumelelo yomqondiso wonyaka wakhe wokuqala e-ofisini yayilinyathelo elasungulwa nguTrump, lokurhoxisa i-United States kwimfazwe yayo yeminyaka engama-20 e-Afghanistan. Kodwa ukuphunyezwa kukaBiden kwalo mgaqo-nkqubo kungcoliswe yi ukusilela okufanayo ukuqonda i-Afghanistan ethe yagwetyelwa ubuncinci abalawuli abathathu bangaphambili kunye nomkhosi okhohlakeleyo wase-US iminyaka engama-20, ekhokelela ekubuyiselweni ngokukhawuleza kurhulumente weTaliban kunye nesiphithiphithi sikamabonwakude sokurhoxiswa kwe-US.
Ngoku, endaweni yokunceda abantu base-Afghan ukuba babuyele kumashumi amabini eminyaka yentshabalalo eyenziwe yi-US, uBiden ubambe. $ 9.4 billion koovimba bemali yangaphandle yase-Afghan, ngelixa abantu base-Afghanistan bebandezeleka ngenxa yentlekele yobuntu. Kunzima ukucinga ukuba uDonald Trump unokuba nenkohlakalo okanye ukuziphindezela njani.
2. Ukuxhokonxa ingxaki kunye neRashiya malunga ne-Ukraine. Unyaka wokuqala ka-Biden e-ofisini uphela ngokunyuka okuyingozi kwengxwabangxwaba kumda waseRussia/Ukraine, imeko egrogrisa ngokungena kungquzulwano lomkhosi phakathi kwawona mazwe mabini axhobe kakhulu ngenyukliya-i-United States neRussia. I-United States inoxanduva kakhulu kule ngxaki ngokuxhasa i Ukubhukuqwa ngogonyamelo karhulumente onyuliweyo waseUkraine ngo-2014, exhasa Ukwandiswa kwe-NATO kanye ukuya kumda weRashiya, kwaye ukumbamba kwaye uqeqesho Imikhosi yaseUkraine.
Ukusilela kukaBiden ukwamkela inkxalabo yokhuseleko esemthethweni yaseRussia kukhokelele kwingxaki ekhoyo ngoku, kwaye iiCold Warriors kulawulo lwakhe zigrogrisa iRussia endaweni yokucebisa amanyathelo abambekayo okunciphisa imeko.
3. Ukwanda koxinzelelo lweMfazwe ebandayo kunye nogqatso lwezixhobo oluyingozi kunye neTshayina. Umongameli uTrump uphehlelele imfazwe yerhafu kunye ne-China eye yonakalise omabini la mazwe, kwaye yalawula iMfazwe ebandayo kunye nogqatso lweengalo kunye ne-China kunye neRussia ukuthethelela uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwase-US oluhlala lukhula.
Emva kokuba elishumi yenkcitho yasemkhosini yase-US engazange ibonwe ngaphambili kunye nokwanda komkhosi ngogonyamelo phantsi kukaBush II kunye no-Obama, i-US "pivot e-Asia" yajikeleza i-China ngomkhosi, iyinyanzela ukuba ityale imali kwimikhosi yokhuselo eyomeleleyo kunye nezixhobo eziphambili. UTrump, emva koko, wasebenzisa ukhuselo olomeleziweyo lwaseTshayina njengesizathu sokunyuka ngakumbi kwinkcitho yasemkhosini yase-US, esungula umdyarho omtsha wezixhobo oye waphakamisa i-US. umngcipheko okhoyo yemfazwe yenyukliya ukuya kwinqanaba elitsha.
I-Biden iye yandisa kuphela ezi ngxaki ziyingozi zamazwe ngamazwe. Ecaleni komngcipheko wemfazwe, imigaqo-nkqubo yakhe endlongondlongo ebhekiselele e-China ikhokelele ekonyukeni kolwaphulo-mthetho lwentiyo kubantu base-Asia baseMelika, kwaye kwadala imiqobo kwintsebenziswano efuneka kakhulu ne-China ukujongana nokutshintsha kwemozulu, ubhubhane kunye nezinye iingxaki zehlabathi.
4. Ukulahla isivumelwano sika-Obama senyukliya ne-Iran. Emva kohlwayo lukaMongameli Obama ngokuchasene ne-Iran aluzange luphumelele ukuyinyanzela ukuba imise inkqubo yayo yenyukliya yoluntu, ekugqibeleni wathatha indlela eqhubela phambili, yezozakuzo, eyakhokelela kwisivumelwano senyukliya se-JCPOA ngo-2015. I-United States esuka kwi-JCPOA ngo-2018. Ukurhoxiswa kukaTrump kwagwetyelwa ngamandla ngabademokhrasi, kuquka umgqatswa uBiden, kunye noSenator Sanders. thembiso ukuba aphinde ajoyine i-JCPOA ngosuku lwakhe lokuqala e-ofisini ukuba uthe waba ngumongameli.
Endaweni yokubuyela kwangoko kwisivumelwano esisebenzele onke amaqela, abaphathi beBiden bacinga ukuba banokunyanzela i-Iran ukuba yenze uthethathethwano "ngesivumelwano esingcono." Abantu base-Irani abakhathazekileyo endaweni yoko banyula urhulumente obambeleyo kwaye i-Iran yaqhubela phambili ekuphuculeni inkqubo yayo yenyukliya.
Kunyaka kamva, kwaye emva kwemijikelo esibhozo yezozakuzo eVienna, iBiden iye nangoku akaphindanga wajoyina isivumelwano. Ukugqiba unyaka wakhe wokuqala kwi-White House esoyikisa enye imfazwe yaseMbindi Mpuma kwanele ukunika uBiden "F" kwidiplomacy.
5. Ukuxhasa i-Big Pharma phezu kweGonyo laBantu. I-Biden yathatha isikhundla njengogonyo lokuqala lwe-Covid lwamkelwa kwaye lwasasazwa kulo lonke elase-United States kunye nehlabathi. Ukungalingani okuqatha ekuhanjisweni kwesitofu sokugonya kwihlabathi jikelele phakathi kwamazwe atyebileyo nahlwempuzekileyo kwabonakala ngoko nangoko kwaye kwaziwa ngokuba “sisitofu socalucalulo.”
Endaweni yokwenza kunye nokusasaza izitofu zokugonya ngokungenzi nzuzo ukulwa nobhubhane njengengxaki yezempilo yoluntu jikelele, i-United States kunye namanye amazwe aseNtshona bakhetha ukugcina ubhubhane. neoliberal ulawulo lwamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kunye nemonopoli yequmrhu ekwenziweni nasekusasazeni isitofu sokugonya. Ukusilela ukuvula ukwenziwa kunye nokuhanjiswa kwezitofu zokugonya kumazwe ahlwempuzekileyo kwanika intsholongwane ye-Covid simahla ukuba isasazeke kwaye iguquke, okukhokelela kumaza amatsha osulelo lwehlabathi kunye nokufa okuvela kwi-Delta kunye ne-Omicron eyahlukileyo.
U-Biden uvumile ukuxhasa ukukhutshwa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza lokugonya i-Covid phantsi kwemithetho yeWorld Trade Organisation (WTO), kodwa kungekho sicwangciso sokwenyani “Ugonyo lwabantu,” Imvume ka-Biden ayenzanga mpembelelo kwizigidi zokufa okunokuthintelwa.
6. Ukuqinisekisa ubushushu behlabathi obuyintlekele kwi-COP26 eGlasgow. Emva kokuba uTrump engayihoyi imeko yemozulu iminyaka emine, izazi ngendalo zakhuthazwa xa uBiden wasebenzisa iintsuku zakhe zokuqala e-ofisini ukuze aphinde ahlangane nesivumelwano semozulu saseParis kwaye arhoxise uMbhobho we-Keystone XL.
Kodwa xa uBiden efika eGlasgow, waye wavumela eyona nto iphambili kwisicwangciso sakhe semozulu, iNkqubo yokuSebenza kwaMandla acocekileyo (CEPP). ikhutshiwe yeBuild Back Better bill kwiCongress ngokomyalelo wefosili-fuel sock-puppet uJoe Manchin, ujike isibhambathiso sase-US sokuphungulwa kwe-50% ukusuka kwi-2005 ekhutshwayo ngo-2030 kwisithembiso esingenanto.
Intetho kaBiden eGlasgow yaqaqambisa ukusilela kweTshayina kunye neRussia, ingakhathaleli ukukhankanya ukuba iUnited States inakho. izinto ezikhutshwayo eziphezulu ngomntu ngamnye kunabo bobabini. Nanjengoko iCOP26 yayisenzeka, abaphathi beBiden bacaphukisa abaphembeleli ngokubeka ioli kunye negesi uqeshisa ngefandesi yeehektare ezingama-730,000 eMelika eNtshona kunye ne-80 yezigidi zeehektare kwiGulf of Mexico. Kumanqaku onyaka omnye, uBiden uthethe le ntetho, kodwa xa kufikwa ekujongeni iOli enkulu, akahambi, kwaye umhlaba wonke uhlawula ixabiso.
7. Ukutshutshiswa kwezopolitiko kukaJulian Assange, uDaniel Hale kunye noGuantanamo bahlukumeza amaxhoba. Phantsi koMongameli uBiden, iUnited States ihlala ililizwe apho ukubulala okucwangcisiweyo yabemi kunye namanye amatyala emfazwe angohlwaywa, lo gama abahlebi abafumana isibindi sokubhentsisa olu lwaphulo-mthetho loyikekayo eluntwini betshutshiswa kwaye bavalelwe njengamabanjwa ezopolitiko.
NgoJulayi 2021, owayesakuba ngumqhubi wenqwelomoya uDaniel Hale wagwetywa iinyanga ezingama-45 entolongweni ngokubhenca ukubulawa kwabantu eMelika. Iimfazwe zedrone. WikiLeaks umshicileli UJulian Assange usahlala kwintolongo yaseBelmarsh eNgilani, emva kweminyaka eyi-11 esilwa nokuthunyelwa e-United States ngokubhengeza i-US. zolwaphulo mthetho.
Kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini emva kokuba yaseka inkampu yoxinaniso engekho mthethweni eGuantanamo Bay, eCuba, ukuba ivalele ama-779 uninzi lwabantu abamsulwa abathinjwa emhlabeni jikelele, Ngamabanjwa angama-39 apho eluvalelweni olungekho mthethweni, ngaphandle kwenkundla. Ngaphandle kwezithembiso zokuvala esi sahluko sibi kwimbali yase-US, intolongo isasebenza kwaye iBiden ivumela iPentagon ukuba yakhe inkundla entsha, evaliweyo eGuantanamo ukuze kugcinwe lula ukusebenza kwale gulag kufihlwe ekujongweni luluntu.
8. Umlo wokungqingwa kwezoqoqosho ngokuchasene nabantu baseCuba, eVenezuela nakwamanye amazwe. UTrump ujike umva uhlaziyo luka-Obama eCuba kwaye waqaphela uJuan Guaidó ongakhethwanga njengo “mongameli” waseVenezuela, njengoko iUnited States iqinise izikrufu kuqoqosho lwayo “ngoxinzelelo olukhulu” izohlwayo.
I-Biden iqhubekile nemfazwe kaTrump engaphumeleliyo yokungqinga kwezoqoqosho ngokuchasene namazwe achasene nomyalelo wasebukhosini wase-US, ebangela intlungu engapheliyo kubantu bawo ngaphandle kokubeka ingozi enkulu, ayeke ukuwisa oorhulumente babo. Izohlwayo ezikhohlakeleyo zase-US kunye neenzame zokutshintsha ulawulo ziye yasilela jikelele amashumi eminyaka, esebenza ikakhulu ukujongela phantsi iziqinisekiso zedemokhrasi zaseMelika kunye namalungelo oluntu.
UJuan Guaidó ngoku nguye idume kancinci abantu abachasayo eVenezuela, kunye neentshukumo zokwenyani zengca ezichasene nongenelelo lwase-US zizisa oorhulumente abadumileyo bedemokhrasi kunye nobusoshiyali kulawulo kulo lonke elaseLatin America, eBolivia, ePeru, eChile, eHonduras- kwaye mhlawumbi neBrazil ngo-2022.
9. Isaxhasa imfazwe yaseSaudi Arabia eYemen kunye nomlawuli wayo ocinezelayo. Phantsi kukaTrump, iiDemokhrasi kunye neqaqobana lamaRiphabhlikhi kwiCongress ngokuthe ngcembe lakha uninzi lwama-bipartisan oluvotele ukurhoxa kwi umfelandawonye okhokelwa yiSaudi uhlasela iYemen kwaye uyeke ukuthumela iingalo ukuya eSaudi Arabia. UTrump uye wayivota imizamo yabo, kodwa uloyiso lonyulo lweDemokhrasi ngo-2020 bekufanele ukuba lukhokelele esiphelweni semfazwe kunye nengxaki yoluntu eYemen.
Endaweni yoko, uBiden wakhupha umyalelo wokuba ayeke ukuthengisa "ekhubekisayo” izixhobo eziya eSaudi Arabia, ngaphandle kokuchaza ngokucacileyo elo gama, kwaye yaqhubeka ilungisa i-650 yeedola zigidi izigidi zokuthengiswa kwezixhobo. I-United States isayixhasa imfazwe yaseSaudi, njengokuba ingxaki yoluntu ibulala amawaka abantwana baseYemeni. Kwaye ngaphandle kwesibhambathiso sikaBiden sokuphatha inkokeli ekhohlakeleyo yaseSaudis, i-MBS, njenge-pariah, u-Biden wala ukukhupha i-MBS ngokubulala kwakhe ngonya. Washington Post intatheli uJamal Khashoggi.
10. Usabandakanyeka kuhlaliso lwakwaSirayeli olungekho mthethweni, ukuhlaliswa kwabantu kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe. I-United States ngoyena mboneleli mkhulu wezixhobo kwaSirayeli, kwaye i-Israel ngoyena mntu wamkela uncedo lomkhosi wase-US (malunga ne-4 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka), ngaphandle kokuhlala ngokungekho mthethweni kwePalestina, egwetyiweyo. zolwaphulo mthetho eGaza kunye ukuhlaliswa ngokungekho mthethweni isakhiwo. Uncedo lomkhosi wase-US kunye nokuthengiswa kweengalo ku-Israel kuyaphula ngokucacileyo i-US Imithetho yeLeahy kwaye Umthetho olawula ukuthunyelwa kwamazwe ngaphandle kwezixhobo.
UDonald Trump wayewajongela phantsi amalungelo akhe asePalestina, kuquka nokuthumela i-Embassy yase-US ukusuka eTel Aviv ukuya kwipropati eseYerusalem. kuphela ngokuyinxenye kumda owamkelwa ngamazwe ngamazwe akwaSirayeli, inyathelo elacaphukisa abantu basePalestine laze lagxeka amazwe ngamazwe.
Kodwa akukho nto itshintshileyo phantsi kweBiden. Isikhundla sase-US ku-Israel kunye ne-Palestine singekho mthethweni kwaye siyaphikisana njengakuqala, kwaye i-Embassy yase-US ku-Israel ihleli kumhlaba othathwe ngokungekho mthethweni. NgoMeyi, uBiden waxhasa uhlaselo lwakutsha nje lwakwa-Israel eGaza, lwabulala I-256 Palestinians, isiqingatha sabo singabemi, kuquka abantwana abangama-66.
isiphelo
Inxalenye nganye yalo mgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle i-fiasco ixabisa ubomi babantu kwaye idala ukungazinzi kwengingqi-nkqu nehlabathi jikelele. Kuzo zonke iimeko, imigaqo-nkqubo eqhubekayo iyafumaneka. Ekuphela kwento engekhoyo yintando yezobupolitika nokuzimela geqe kwiminqweno yorhwaphilizo.
I-United States ibuchithile ubutyebi obungazange bubonwe ngaphambili, inkoliseko yehlabathi kunye nesikhundla esiyimbali sobunkokeli bamazwe ngamazwe ukusukela amabhongo obukumkani obungafikeleliyo, kusetyenziswa umkhosi womkhosi kunye nezinye iindlela zobundlobongela nokunyanzeliswa ngokwaphulwa okucacileyo kwe-UN Charter kunye nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.
Umgqatswa u-Biden uthembise ukubuyisela isikhundla saseMelika sobunkokeli behlabathi, kodwa endaweni yoko uye waphinda kabini kwimigaqo-nkqubo apho i-United States yaphulukana neso sikhundla kwindawo yokuqala, phantsi kokulandelelana kweRiphabhlikhi kunye nolawulo lweDemokhrasi. UTrump wayekuphela kogqatso lwamva nje kugqatso lwaseMelika ukuya ezantsi.
UBiden uchithe unyaka obalulekileyo ephindaphindeka kabini kwimigaqo-nkqubo kaTrump engaphumeleliyo. Kunyaka ozayo, sinethemba lokuba uluntu luza kukhumbuza uBiden ngokuyicaphukela nzulu imfazwe kwaye uya kuphendula-nangona ethandabuza-ngokwamkela iindlela ezikhohlakeleyo nezinengqiqo.
