Ngaba iCanada ingaphuma kwiShishini leMfazwe?

NguDavid Swanson

ICanada iya isiba yintloko umthengisi wezixhobo, iqabane elithembekileyo kwiimfazwe zase-US, kunye nekholwa lokwenyani "loncedo" lokugcinwa koxolo oluxhobileyo njengempendulo eluncedo kuyo yonke intshabalalo ebangelwa zizixhobo ezisebenzisanayo.

UWilliam Geimer IKhanada: I-Case for Staying Out of Other People's Wars Yincwadi ebalaseleyo echasene nemfazwe, eluncedo kuye nabani na ofuna ukuqonda okanye ukuphelisa imfazwe naphi na emhlabeni. Kodwa kuyenzeka ukuba ibhalwe ngokwembono yaseKhanada yexabiso elinokubakho kubantu baseCanada kunye nabahlali bamanye amazwe e-NATO, kubandakanya nokuba nexabiso ngoku njengoko iTrumpolini ifuna ukuba bonyuse utyalo-mali koomatshini bokufa.

“Ngeemfazwe zabanye abantu” i-Geimer ithetha ukubonisa indima yeCanada njengokuthobela inkokeli ekhokela imfazwe e-United States, kwaye ngokwembali isikhundla esifanayo saseKhanada ngakwiBritane. Kodwa ukwathetha ukuba iimfazwe zaseCanada ezilwa kuzo azibandakanyi ukukhusela iCanada. Ke, kufanelekile ukuqaphela ukuba ababandakanyi ukukhusela iUnited States nokuba, ukukhonza endaweni yoko yingozi isizwe esibakhokelayo. Ziimfazwe zikabani?

Iingxelo zikaGeimer eziphandwe kakuhle ngemfazwe yamaBhulu, iimfazwe zehlabathi, iKorea, kunye neAfghanistan zilungile kumfanekiso wokoyikeka kunye nobudenge, njengokudelwa kozuko, njengoko uya kufumana.

Ngelishwa ke ngoko ukuba uGeimer ubambe ukubakho kwemfazwe efanelekileyo yaseKhanada, uphakamisa ukuba uxanduva lokukhusela kufuneka lusetyenziswe ngokufanelekileyo ukunqanda "uxhatshazo" olufana neLibya, ubalisa ibali eliqhelekileyo lemfazwe malunga. Rwanda, kwaye ibonisa ukugcinwa koxolo okuxhobileyo njengento engafaniyo nemfazwe xa idibene. "Njani," uGeimer uyabuza, "iCanada e-Afghanistan yaphuma kwizenzo ezihambelana nombono omnye, ukuya kwezo zichasene nayo?" Ndingacebisa ukuba impendulo enye inokuba: ngokucinga ukuba ukuthumela imikhosi exhobileyo kwilizwe ukuze ithathe inyathelo kunokuba yinto echaseneyo nokuthumela imikhosi exhobileyo kwilizwe ukuze ihlale kulo.

Kodwa uGeimer ukwacebisa ukuba kungabikho mishini iyakukhokelela ekubulaweni komntu omnye, umthetho onokuthi uphelise imfazwe. Enyanisweni, ukusasaza ukuqondwa kwembali echazwa yincwadi kaGeimer kusenokwenzeka ukuba kuphumeze kwaeso siphelo sinye.

IMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, esele ifikelele kwiminyaka eyikhulu, kubonakala ukuba iyintsomi yemvelaphi eKhanada ngendlela ethi iMfazwe Yehlabathi II iphawula ukuzalwa kwe-United States kulonwabo lwase-US. Ukwala IMfazwe Yehlabathi I inokuba nexabiso elithile ke ngoko. ICanada ikwakhangela ukuqondwa kwehlabathi ngegalelo layo kumkhosi, ngokutsho kohlahlelo lukaGeimer, ngendlela urhulumente wase-US angenakuze azizise ukuba anike into ecingwa ngomnye umntu. Oku kuphakamisa ukuba ukuqaphela iCanada ngokukhupha iimfazwe okanye ukunceda ukuvalwa kwezigcayiseli okanye ukukhusela abantu base-US abangavumiyo ukuya emkhosini ngenxa yezazela (kunye neembacu ezisuka e-US), ngelixa ihlazo laseCanada ngokuthatha inxaxheba kulwaphulo-mthetho lwase-US, kunokuba nefuthe.

Ngelixa uGeimer ebalisa ukuba ipropaganda ejikeleze zombini iimfazwe zehlabathi ibango lokuba ukuthatha inxaxheba kweCanada kuya kuzikhusela, uyawagatya ngokufanelekileyo loo mabango njengento ehlekisayo. I-Geimer ngenye indlela ayinanto encinci yokuthetha malunga ne-propaganda yokukhusela, endikrokrela ukuba yomelele kakhulu e-United States. Ngelixa iimfazwe zase-US ngoku zigxunyekwe njengezobuntu, loo ndawo yokuthengisa yodwa ayinakuze ifumane inkxaso yoluntu lwase-US. Yonke imfazwe yase-US, nkqu nokuhlaselwa kwezizwe ezingaxhobanga kwisiqingatha sehlabathi, ithengiswa njengezokhuselo okanye ayithengiswanga ngempumelelo kwaphela. Lo mahluko ucebisa kum isibini samathuba.

Okokuqala, i-US icinga ukuba iphantsi kwesoyikiso ngenxa yokuba ivelise iimvakalelo ezininzi ezichasene ne-US kwihlabathi jikelele ngazo zonke iimfazwe zayo "zokuzikhusela". Abantu baseCanada kufuneka bacamngce ukuba loluphi uhlobo lotyalo-mali ekuqhushumbisweni kwebhombu kunye nemisebenzi enokuthi ithathelwe kubo ukuvelisa amaqela obunqolobi aseCanada kunye neengcamango kwisikali sase-US, kwaye nokuba baya kuphinda baphendule kabini, baqhube umjikelo okhohlakeleyo wotyalo-mali "kwizokhuselo. ” ngokuchasene noko “ukhuselo” oluvelisayo.

Okwesibini, mhlawumbi kukho umngcipheko omncinci kwaye kuninzi ekufuneka kuzuzwe ekuthatheni imbali yemfazwe yaseCanada kunye nobudlelwane bayo nomkhosi wase-US kancinci emva kwexesha. Ukuba ubuso bukaDonald Trump abuyi kuyenza, mhlawumbi ukukhunjulwa kweemfazwe zase-US ezidlulileyo kuya kunceda abantu baseCanada ngokuchasene nendima karhulumente wabo njenge-poodle yase-US.

Kwiminyaka emithandathu emva kokufika kweBhritane eJamestown, abahlali betsala nzima bephila kwaye bengakwazi nokufumana imbubhiso yasekhaya, aba bantu baseVirginia batsha baqesha amajoni ukuba ahlasele iAcadia kwaye (ohluleka) ukukhupha amaFrentshi kwinto ababeyijonga njengelizwekazi labo. . Iikholoni ezaziza kuba yi-United States zagqiba ekubeni zithathe iCanada ngo-1690 (kwaye zahluleka, kwakhona). Bafumana amaBritane ukuba abancede ngo-1711 (kwaye basilela, kwakhona). UGeneral Braddock kunye noColonel Washington bazama kwakhona ngo-1755 (kwaye bahluleka, ngaphandle kokuhlanjululwa kobuhlanga kunye nokugxothwa kwama-Acadians kunye namaMelika aseMelika). I-British kunye ne-US yahlasela ngo-1758 kwaye yathatha inqaba yaseKhanada, yayithiya ngokuba yiPittsburgh, kwaye ekugqibeleni yakha ibala lezemidlalo elikhulu ngaphesheya komlambo ozinikele ekuzukiseni i-ketchup. UGeorge Washington wathumela imikhosi ekhokelwa nguBenedict Arnold ukuba ihlasele iKhanada kwakhona ngo-1775. Idrafti yokuqala yoMgaqo-siseko wase-US yabonelela ngokubandakanywa kweKhanada, nangona iKhanada yayingenamdla ekuqukeni. UBenjamin Franklin wacela iBritane ukuba inikezele iCanada ngexesha lothethathethwano lweSivumelwano saseParis ngowe-1783. Khawufan’ ucinge ukuba yintoni eyayinokwenza kwimithetho yaseKhanada yokhathalelo lwempilo nemipu! Okanye musa ukucinga ngayo. IBritane yanikezela ngeMichigan, iWisconsin, i-Illinois, iOhio kunye neIndiana. Ngo-1812 i-US yenza isindululo sokumatsha ukuya eCanada kwaye yamkelwe njengabakhululi. I-US ixhase uhlaselo lwase-Ireland eCanada ngo-1866. Khumbula le ngoma?

IsiGaba sokuqala wayeya kubeka phantsi
Ngokupheleleyo kunye ngonaphakade
Kwaye emva koko isithsaba saseBritani
IChanada iyakunqumla.
IYankee Doodle, yigcine,
Yankee Doodle dandy.
Cinga umculo kunye nesinyathelo
kwaye kunye namantombazana aya kusebenza!

ICanada, kwiakhawunti kaGeimer, iswele amabhongo okulawula umhlaba ngobukhosi. Oku kwenza ukuba ukuphelisa umkhosi wayo kube ngumcimbi owahlukileyo, ndiyakrokra, ekwenzeni okufanayo e-United States. Iingxaki zenzuzo, urhwaphilizo kunye nepropaganda zihlala zihleli, kodwa eyona nto ikhusela imfazwe ehlala ivela e-United States xa ezo njongo zoyiswayo zisenokungabikho eCanada. Ngapha koko, ngokuya emfazweni kwi-leash yase-US, iCanada izenza isebenze.

ICanada yangena kwiimfazwe zehlabathi ngaphambi kokuba i-US yenze, kwaye yayiyinxalenye yokuxhokonxa iJapan eyazisa i-US kweyesibini. Kodwa ukusukela ngoko, iCanada ibincedisa i-United States ngokuphandle nangokufihlakeleyo, ibonelela ngenkxaso yokuqala “yomanyano” oluvela “kuluntu lwezizwe ngezizwe.” Ngokusemthethweni, iCanada yahlala ngaphandle kweemfazwe phakathi kweKorea ne-Afghanistan, ukusukela apho ibizibandakanya ngolangazelelo. Kodwa ukugcina elo bango kufuna ukungahoyi zonke iintlobo zokuthatha inxaxheba emfazweni phantsi kwebhanile yeZizwe eziManyeneyo okanye i-NATO, kubandakanya neVietnam, Yugoslavia, kunye Irakh.

Abantu baseCanada kufuneka babe nebhongo kuba xa inkulumbuso yabo yayigxeka ngobulali imfazwe yaseVietnam, uMongameli wase-US uLyndon Johnson ingxelo wambamba ebhejini, wamsusa emhlabeni, waza wakhwaza esithi “Uchanile ityali yam!” Inkulumbuso yaseKhanada, kumzekelo wendoda uDick Cheney wayeza kudubula ebusweni, waxolisa kuJohnson ngesi siganeko.

Ngoku urhulumente wase-US wakha ubutshaba eRussia, kwaye kwakuseCanada ngo-2014 apho iNkosana uCharles yathelekisa uVladimir Putin noAdolf Hitler. Yeyiphi ikhosi ezakuthatha eKhanada? Inokwenzeka ukuba ikhona eKhanada enika iUnited States isimilo nezomthetho kunye nesi-Icelandic esisebenzayo, umzekelo waseCosta Rican we indlela elumkileyo emantla nje komda. Ukuba uxinzelelo loontanga olubonelelwe yinkqubo yokhathalelo lwempilo yaseCanada nasiphi na isikhokelo, iCanada ebiye ngaphaya kwemfazwe ayizukuphelisa imfazwe yase-US ngokwayo, kodwa iya kudala ingxoxo-mpikiswano ngokwenza oko. Elo iya kuba linyathelo lelizwekazi eliphambi kwendawo esikuyo ngoku.
