Ndifumana ukwazisa izithethi ezintathu ezoyikisayo kuwe ngesihloko seLatin America kunye neCaribbean, kodwa okokuqala ndivumelekile ukuba ndithethe into endiyicingayo imizuzu emihlanu, ngoko ndiya kuyenza loo nto. Ndicinga ukuba iziseko zokuqala zaseYurophu kolu nxweme yayiziziseko zangaphandle, ukuba zafudukela entshona, kwaye umkhwa awuzange ume. Ndihlala kufutshane nekhaya likaJames Monroe ogama lakhe iMonroe Doctrine, njengoko yavelayo kwaye yaxhatshazwa kwiinkulungwane, kufuneka ingcwatywe. Umgaqo-nkqubo wase-US wokuchasa idemokhrasi kwaye ngokufuthi ngogonyamelo ufuna ukulawula izizwe ezisemazantsi ayo, egameni lokuthintela amanye amandla ekwenzeni oko, ibone ixesha layo leshelufu liphelelwa. Isizathu sobukomanisi siphelile. Izingxengxezo zobunqolobi kunye neziyobisi ziba buthathaka kwaye ziba buthathaka.
I-United States igcina inani elincinci lemikhosi phantse kuwo onke amazwe okanye imimandla emazantsi ayo, kunye namanani amakhulu ePuerto Rico, Cuba, Honduras, kunye ne-El Salvador, kunye nabanye abaninzi kumgama ophawulekayo eTexas naseFlorida, apho i-US igcina indawo yokuhlala. iziko lomyalelo elibanga ukuyalela ihemisphere. I-US ide isebenzise isiqithi esiphakathi kweAtlantiki eyasetyenziswa yiBritane kwimfazwe yaseFalklands. Kwaye iziseko zayo ziquka enye kwincam yoMzantsi Melika.
Ngaba iLatin America isisisongelo somkhosi e-United States okanye kwihlabathi? Kunzima. Isoyikiso esibonwa licandelo elithile lase-US kukuthontelana kwababaleki ebunzimeni, kubandakanya uninzi lweentlekele ezidalwe ngabantu, kwaye uninzi lwezo zidalwe ngokuyinxenye yimfazwe yase-US. Kubo bonke abathengisi bezixhobo abakhulu behlabathi, abekho abakuMbindi okanye eMzantsi Merika okanye kwiiCaribbean. Kodwa phantse yonke indawo ithunyelwa izixhobo ezivela eUnited States. Ngelixa i-US ikhuthaza inkcitho ephezulu yasemkhosini kula mazwe kwaye imisela umzekelo ngokuchitha ngaphezulu kwe-1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka ngokwawo, iBrazil kuphela kwelizwe kulo mmandla ukuchitha ngaphezulu kwe-1% yaloo nto, okanye i-10 yeebhiliyoni zeedola. Ichitha i-24 yeebhiliyoni zeedola. Isizwe ngasinye kulo mmandla nasemhlabeni sichitha kufutshane neCosta Rica's $0 kune-United States' $1 yetriliyoni.
La mazwe akanazo izixhobo zenyukliya, zekhemikhali, okanye zebhayoloji. Phantse onke amalungu eNkundla yoLwaphulo-mthetho yaMazwe ngaMazwe. Bathanda ukuba ngakwizivumelwano zokuthotywa kwezixhobo namalungelo oluntu ngaphezu kwe-United States. Phantse bonke bangamalungu ommandla ongenamandla enyukliya. Uninzi luye lwatyikitya isivumelwano esitsha sokuvalwa kwezixhobo zenyukliya. Abanye baye babamba iikhomishini zenyaniso okanye batshutshisa ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe. Abantu phantse kuwo wonke umntu batyikitye isibhambathiso sethu soxolo kwiWorldBeyondWar.org. Kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo kule nyanga, amazwe angama-31 aseLatin America kunye neCaribbean azibhengeza njengommandla woxolo kwaye azibophelele ekungasebenzisini nasekufuneni ukuphelisa imfazwe, kunye nokuqhubela phambili ukuthotywa kwezixhobo ngokupheleleyo.
Ingaba le modeli yokuziphatha ifumana ntoni ummandla ovela e-US? Ukusukela nje ngo-1945, unyulo oluninzi lwaphazamisa, ukubulawa kweenkokeli okanye iinzame kumazwe asibhozo endiwaziyo, ukubhukuqa oorhulumente okanye iinzame kulo kumazwe ali-15 endiwaziyo, ukuhlaselwa komkhosi wase-US kumazwe ali-13 endiwaziyo. Ngo-2013 uGallup wenza uhlolisiso eArgentina, eMexico, eBrazil nasePeru, yaye kwimeko nganye wafumanisa ukuba iUnited States yeyona mpendulo ibalaseleyo “Leliphi ilizwe elona lisongelo likhulu kuxolo lwehlabathi?” Kwi-2017, u-Pew uphendule eMexico, eChile, eArgentina, eBrazil, eVenezuela, eColombia nasePeru, kwaye wafumanisa phakathi kwe-56% kunye ne-85% ekholelwa ukuba i-United States ibe yingozi kwilizwe labo.
Le impiriyalizim yale mihla ikhethekileyo i-USian, kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba unxibelelwano kunye nokulungelelanisa konke esikufunayo ukuyiphelisa sisebenzisa iimvakalelo ezikhoyo ezithandwayo. Mhlawumbi sinokuvala iziseko ngenxa yokungabi nambulelo kwabantu basemzini ngenxa yesisa sethu esicingelwayo. Kodwa ngaba olo loyiso lwaluza kubeka isiseko sokuziphatha kakuhle? Ubukhethekileyo base-US obuthethelela ubundlavini basebukhosini yimvakalelo ebalulekileyo ekunokufuneka siyinyange. Ubuzwe base-US bunophawu lwenkolo, i-mission eyonakalisayo ibonwa njengento engcwele. Ft. UMcHenry Baltimore ayisiyondawo yembali. “Sisikhumbuzo seSizwe kunye neNdawo eNgcwele yeMbali.” Kusenokufuneka sifunde ukuxabisa ezinye izinto, kuquka nezinye iipesenti ezingama-96 zoluntu, ngaphambi kokuba ubukhosi buvale.
