Asinakucinga ukuba amanye amazwe aya kwenza nantoni na ngaphandle kokubeka izilangazelelo zawo ngaphambi kwezabanye kwaye nathi kufuneka senze okufanayo.
Umgaqo-nkqubo wethu wokukhusela usekelwe kwingcinga yokuba sifuna i-American Alliance kunye nokuba i-US inokuthenjwa ukuba isikhusele kuyo nayiphi na isongelo. Ngamagama angafiyo eSportin 'Life, "Akunjalo". UPhononongo lwezoKhuselo kufuneka luqale ukusuka ekuqaleni ngaphandle kokucingelwa kwangaphambili okanye lufakwe kwizenzo neenkolelo zangaphambili.
I-China kuthiwa yiyo esisoyikiso. Kwimfazwe ephela neTshayina, i-US ayinakuba nesizathu okanye amandla okuba nexhala malunga ne-Australia ngaphandle kokukhusela iimpahla zayo apha. Amaphupha ethu angahamba ngendlela yabo babecinga ukuba iBritane ingasikhusela kwiWW2. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, i-Alliance yethu yonke inike kwaye akukho nto ithathwa njengaseVietnam, Iraq nase-Afghanistan. Iipolisi zethu kunye nezixhobo zisekwe kwisenzo njengomzalwana omncinci waseMelika. Naluphi na uphononongo lokukhusela kufuneka luqale luhlolisise iziseko. Kunokuba siqokelele abarhanelwa abaqhelekileyo ukuze bafumane amacebiso, kufuneka sibone isizathu sokuba abo bamelwane bajongana nathi ngendlela efanayo besenza oko nesizathu sokuba abo babona izinto ngokwahlukileyo besenza oko.
Ngaphandle kokugcwala kweendaba ngeenkqubo zase-US kunye neendaba, uninzi lwabantu base-Australia abayiqondi ncam i-USA. Akufunekanga sibhidanise ubuhle bayo obungathandabuzekiyo basekhaya kunye nempumelelo yayo nendlela eliziphatha ngayo kumazwe ngamazwe. UHenry Kissinger uqaphele ukuba iMelika ayinabo abahlobo, inomdla kuphela kwaye uMongameli Biden wathi "iMelika ibuyile, ilungele ukukhokela ihlabathi."
Into yokuqala ekufuneka uyiqonde malunga ne-United States kukuba amazwe awadibananga kwaye maninzi amazwe aseMelika. Kukho abahlobo bam kwilizwe liphela, abantu endandibazi xa ndandihlala eBoston, abantu abanobukrelekrele kunye nokuthanda kwabo okulungileyo endibathandayo. Kwakhona, abahlalutyi abacikozelayo ngoko kungalunganga kwilizwe labo nokuba makwenziwe ntoni ukuyilungisa. Ukongezelela kwaba bantu banobubele nabalungileyo kukho abantu abanobuhlanga obubomvu, abanenzondelelo yempambano yonqulo, amayelenqe amayelenqe aphambeneyo kunye namaqela amancinane acinezelekileyo anomsindo. Mhlawumbi enye into abafana ngayo bonke yinkolelo yokuba kukho into ekhethekileyo ngeMelika namaMelika; oku kubizwa ngokuba yi-manifest destiny okanye into ekhethekileyo. Ingathatha iindlela ezimbini. Ingasetyenziselwa ukuthethelela ubundlongondlongo kwabanye ukukhusela umdla waseMelika okanye inokubonwa njengokunika abantu baseMelika umsebenzi wokunceda abo bangathathi ntweni.
Umsebenzi kaSuperman “yayikukulwela iNyaniso, uBulungisa kunye neNdlela yaseMelika”. Le yayiyimbonakaliso elula yenkolelo nomoya wobuvangeli esele uyinto eqhelekileyo kweli lizwe nakubantu balo. Kwasekuqaleni, iinjongo ezihloniphekileyo ziye zaphunyezwa ngamanye amaxesha. Namhlanje, i-Superpower ijongene ne-China enobonelelo olunzulu lwe-Kryptonite.
Ukuba ukuphononongwa koKhuseleko kuya kuba yinto engaphezulu kwengwe yephepha kufuneka ibuyele kwiziseko kwaye iphonononge ngononophelo ukuba zeziphi izoyikiso zokwenyani ezikhoyo kunye nento esinokuyenza ngazo. Singawugcina engqondweni umzekelo weCosta Rica eyalahla umkhosi wayo kwaye yachitha imali kwimfundo nakwimpilo endaweni yoko. Abazange baphumelele emfazweni kodwa ukungabi namkhosi kwenza ukuba kube nzima ukuba nabani na ahlasele ngesizathu sokuba isisongelo. Bakhuselekile ukususela ngoko.
Lonke uphononongo lwezoyikiso luqala kuphononongo lokuba amazwe aneenjongo ezinjani kunye namandla okusoyikisa. Ngaphandle kokubhenela kuhlaselo lwenyukliya akukho mntu unamandla okusihlasela ngaphandle kwe-USA engenanjongo. Nangona kunjalo, iChina inokwenza umonakalo omkhulu ngohlaselo lomjukujelwa olude njengoko i-US inokwenza. I-Indonesia, iMalaysia kunye neSingapore zinokwenza ubomi bube nzima kuthungelwano lwethu ngenqanawe njengoko iTshayina ibinokwenza. Amandla anobutshaba anokunyusa uhlaselo oluyingozi lwe-cyber. Ngokuqinisekileyo, iChina iyayandisa impembelelo yayo kwihlabathi liphela kwaye ifuna intlonipho eyaliwe yiNtshona. Ngelixa oku ngokungathandabuzekiyo kusisoyikiso kubungangamsha baseMelika, ingakanani le nto isisoyikiso sokwenyani eOstreliya ukuba asilenzanga lutshaba lwaseTshayina? Oku kufuneka kuhlolwe njengombuzo ovulelekileyo.
Ngubani oneenjongo? Akukho lizwe linomdla wokuhlasela i-Australia nangona kukho ingcamango ebanzi yokuba iChina inobutshaba. Ubutshaba baseTshayina buvela kumanyano lwethu ne-USA apho amaTshayina ayibona njengesoyikiso kulawulo lwawo njengoko i-US ibona i-China njengesoyikiso kwisikhundla sayo njengegunya lehlabathi eliphambili. Ukuba i-China kunye ne-USA ziye zaya emfazweni, i-China yayiza kuthi, kodwa emva koko, ibe nesizathu sokuhlasela i-Australia kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuyenza loo nto ukuba ikhupha impahla yaseMelika njengePine Gap, i-Northwest Cape, i-Amberly kwaye mhlawumbi i-Darwin apho iilwandle zase-US. zisekelwe. Inokuba namandla okwenza oku ngemijukujelwa ngokuchasene noko bekujoliswe kuko okungakhuselekanga.
Kulo naluphi na ungquzulwano neTshayina siya kulahlekelwa kwaye i-US mhlawumbi nayo iya kulahleka. Ngokuqinisekileyo asinakucinga ukuba i-USA ingaphumelela kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba imikhosi yase-US iphambukiswe ukukhusela i-Australia. Kwimeko engenakwenzeka ukuba i-Australia iye emfazweni ngaphandle kwemvume yase-US abayi kusinceda.
Amabango okuba sijongene nongquzulwano phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi okanye ukulawulwa ngoozwilakhe ngokuchasene nedemokhrasi awaqiniseki. Iidemokhrasi ezinkulu zehlabathi zinembali ende yokuhlasela amanye amazwe kuquka oorhulumente bedemokhrasi kunye nokuxhasa oozwilakhe ababeluncedo. Le herring ebomvu akufanele ibe yinto ekuHlolweni kwayo. Ngokufanayo, i-rhetoric malunga nemithetho esekelwe kulandelelwano inengxaki yokugxekwa okufanayo. Ngawaphi amazwe angawona aphule umthetho kwaye ngubani odale imithetho? Ukuba sikholelwa ukuba imithetho ethile isemdleni wethu, sifumana njani amanye amazwe, kuquka namahlakani ethu, ukuba ayithobele? Senza ntoni kumazwe angayamkeliyo loo migaqo nalawo angenzi ngokungathi loo migaqo iyasebenza kuwo.
Ukuba ukukhusela kwe-Australia yinkxalabo yethu yodwa, isakhiwo sethu sangoku samandla asibonakalisi oko. Akucaci, umzekelo, ukuba iitanki ziya kwenza ntoni ngaphandle kokuba ngenene sihlaselwe, kwaye iinkwili zenyukliya ziyilelwe ngokucacileyo ukuba zisebenze ngaphakathi kwenkqubo yesikhokelo ekhokelwa yiMelika ngokuchasene neTshayina eya kuba phambi kwabo ngokugqibeleleyo xa besiya kwinkonzo. Iingxelo zoluntu ezinamandla zeenkokeli zethu zezopolitiko zibonakala ziyilelwe ukukholisa i-US kunye nokuseka iziqinisekiso zethu njengomhlobo othembekileyo ofanelwe yinkxaso, kodwa, ukuba ukhokela ngesilevu sakho, uya kubethwa.
Uphononongo kufuneka luphendule imibuzo esisiseko, nokuba zeziphi na izigqibo ezinokuza nazo. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo yile:
- Yeyiphi eyona isoyikiso. Ngaba iTshayina isisongelo ngokwenene okanye siyenzile?
- Ithembeke kangakanani ingqikelelo yokuba i-USA ilihlakani elithembekileyo elikwaziyo ukusikhusela kwaye linentshukumisa yokwenza oko? Ngaba olu khetho lwethu lungcono kwaye ngoba?
- Loluphi ulwakhiwo lwamandla kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo yezopolitiko eya kukhusela ngcono iOstreliya kwizisongelo ezinokubakho?
- Ngaba ukudityaniswa okusondeleyo kunye ne-US kuya kusifaka emfazweni endaweni yokusigcina siphuma kuyo? Cinga ngeVietnam, i-Iraq kunye ne-Afghanistan. Ngaba sifanele silandele icebiso likaThomas Jefferson lokufuna “uxolo, urhwebo, nobuhlobo obunyanisekileyo nazo zonke iintlanga—singabi nalumanyano nanye”?
- Sinexhala malunga nokubuya okunokwenzeka kweTrump okanye iTrump clone e-USA kodwa uXi Jin Ping akafi. Ngaba kufuneka sithathe imbono yexesha elide?
Akukho zimpendulo zilula okanye zicacileyo kuyo yonke le mibuzo neminye, kodwa kufuneka iphendulwe ngaphandle kwemibono okanye inkohliso. Asinakucinga ukuba amanye amazwe aya kwenza nantoni na ngaphandle kokubeka izilangazelelo zawo ngaphambi kwezabanye kwaye nathi kufuneka senze okufanayo.
