Njengoko iiDemokhrasi zikhuphisana ukuze zibe liQela elitsha leMfazwe - ukutyhala ukujongana ngokuyingozi kunye neRussia enezixhobo zenyukliya - abanye abavoti bayachasa, njengoko uMike Madden wenzayo kwileta eya kuSen. Amy Klobuchar.
Othandekayo uSenator uKlobuchar,
Ndibhala ndinenkxalabo malunga neengxelo osanda kuzenza malunga neRashiya. Ezi nkcazo zenziwe ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe, kwaye zibandakanya imiba emibini; Isityholo sokuba iRashiya iqhekeze kunyulo lukamongameli kunye nezenzo zaseRussia emva kobhukuqo-mbuso lwangoFebruwari 22, 2014 eKiev.

Iinkonzo zobuntlola zase-US zithi uMongameli uVladimir Putin wayalela iphulo lokunyelisa uHillary Clinton kwaye ancede anyule uDonald Trump. Eli phulo kuthiwa libandakanya ukuveliswa kweendaba ezingeyonyani, i-cyber-trolling, kunye ne-propaganda evela kumajelo aseburhulumenteni aseRussia. Kukwatyholwa ukuba iRussia yagqekeza iiakhawunti ze-imeyile zeKomiti yeSizwe yeDemokhrasi kunye nosihlalo wephulo likaClinton uJohn Podesta, emva koko wanikezela ngee-imeyile kwiWikiLeaks.
Ngaphandle kweminxeba evela kwiindawo ezininzi, iinkonzo zobuntlola azikhange zibonelele uluntu naluphi na ubungqina. Endaweni yoko, abantu baseMelika kulindeleke ukuba bazithembe ngokumfamekileyo ezi nkonzo ngembali ende yokusilela. Ukongezelela, uMlawuli wangaphambili weNgqondo yeSizwe, uJames Clapper, kunye noMlawuli wangaphambili we-Central Intelligence Agency, uJohn Brennan, bobabini baye baziwa ngokuxoka kuluntu kunye neCongress, uMnu. Clapper wenza oko phantsi kwesifungo.
Okwangoku, umsunguli we-WikiLeaks uJulian Assange ugcina ii-imeyile azizange zivele eRashiya (okanye nawuphi na omnye umdlali welizwe) kwaye umbutho wakhe unerekhodi elingenasiphako lokutyhila ulwazi oluchanekileyo kuluntu oluya kuhlala lufihliwe. Ngelixa iintatheli ezinoxanduva ziqhubeka nokusebenzisa igama elithi 'izityholo' ukuchaza izityholo, amaRiphabhlikhi anezembe lokugalela iRussia, kunye neeDemocrats ezinqwenela ukuphazamisa iintsilelo zabo kweli phulo, zibhekisa kuzo njengenyani. Ewe, kwi-Amy kwiphepha leNdaba lewebhusayithi yakho, uJordain Carney weNduli ubhekisa kungenelelo lwaseRussia “njengokutyholwa”.
Ikhomishini ye-congressional ukuphanda isityholo sokuqhekezwa kweRashiya akuyimfuneko. Nokuba zonke izityholo ziyinyani, zizonke ziziganeko eziqhelekileyo, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo aziphakamisi kwinqanaba "lesenzo sobundlobongela", "ingozi ekhoyo kwindlela yethu yokuphila", okanye "ukuhlaselwa kweMelika. abantu” njengoko amagosa ahlukahlukeneyo eDemokhrasi aye abaphawula. USenator weRiphabhlikhi uJohn McCain uye wabiza ukungenelela "sisenzo semfazwe".
Ukujoyina i-War Hawks
Iyaxhalabisa into yokuba ujoyine uSenator McCain kunye noSenator olwisana ngokulinganayo uLindsey Graham kukhenketho lokuxhokonxa eRussia ngeBaltics, Ukraine, Georgia, naseMontenegro. Isibhengezo sohambo lwakho (ngoDisemba 28, 2016) kwiphepha leeNdaba zeNdaba kwiwebhusayithi yakho lihlaziye ibango elingenabungqina "lokuphazamiseka kweRashiya kunyulo lwethu lwakutsha nje". Ikwabanga ukuba amazwe obuwatyelelayo ajongene “nobundlobongela baseRashiya” kwanokuba “iRussia yathimba iCrimea ngokungekho mthethweni”.
USenja uJohn McCain, uR-Arizona, kunye noSenindela uLindsey Graham, eR-South Carolina, bevela kwi-CBS' "Face the Nation."
Kuyadabukisa ukuba la mabango abe yinyani ngokuphindaphinda nje kuphela kunokuba kuhlolwe ngenyameko izibakala. IRashiya ayizange ihlasele impuma Ukraine. Akukho ziyunithi ziqhelekileyo zomkhosi waseRussia kumaphondo aqhekekayo, kwaye iRussia ayikhange iqalise naluphi na uhlaselo lomoya ukusuka kumhlaba wayo. Ithumele izixhobo kunye namanye amalungiselelo kwimikhosi yaseUkraine efuna ukuzimela eKiev, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kukho amavolontiya aseRashiya asebenza eUkraine.
Nangona kulusizi, kufuneka kukhunjulwe ukuba uqhushululu lwabangelwa nguFebruwari 22, 2014 ukubhukuqwa kukamongameli onyulwe ngokwentando yesininzi uViktor Yanukovych owathi, ethetha ngokugxuphuleka, wancediswa liSebe leLizwe lase-US, ezinye ii-arhente zorhulumente waseMelika, kunye noSenator uJohn McCain. Umkhosi owalandelayo kunye nemisebenzi ye-paramilitary eqaliswe ngurhulumente wokukhwabanisa ngokuchasene neRiphabhlikhi yaseDonetsk kunye neLuhansk yachazwa nguMongameli uPutin "njengolwaphulo-mthetho olungalawulwayo" olusasazeka emazantsi nasempuma yelizwe. Kwintetho yaseMelika, bobabini urhulumente wethutyana wolawulo eKiev kunye norhulumente wangoku kaMongameli uPetro Poroshenko baye babandakanyeka "ekubulala abantu babo".
Ukungahoyi Iinkcukacha
Ukuba izenzo zaseRashiya ziza kuthathwa "njengobundlobongela" okanye "ukuhlasela", umntu kufuneka afumane igama elitsha elichaza into eyenziwa yi-United States kwi-Iraq ngo-2003. Ukuba, njengomlingane wakho uSenator McCain, ubambe i-annexation yeCrimea kungabikho semthethweni phantsi kweMemorandam yaseBudapest ka-1994, ndibongoza ukuba kujongwe ngakumbi.
Iimpawu zamaNazi kwizigcina-ntloko ezinxitywa ngamalungu e-Azov battalion yaseUkraine. (Njengoko ifotwe liqela lefilimu laseNorway kwaye yaboniswa kumabonakude waseJamani)
NgoFebruwari 21, 2014, kwatyikitywa isivumelwano phakathi kukaMongameli Yanukovych kunye neenkokeli zamaqela amathathu amakhulu aphikisayo. Esi sivumelwano siqulathe imigaqo yokupheliswa kobundlobongela, ukwabelana ngamandla kwangoku, kunye nonyulo olutsha. Ukunuka igazi emanzini, inkcaso yaseMaidan Square ayizange ihoxise ezitratweni okanye inikezele ngezixhobo zabo ezingekho mthethweni njengoko bekuvunyelwene, kodwa endaweni yoko yaqhubeka nokuhlasela. U-Yanukovych, esongelwa ubomi bakhe, wabaleka eKiev kunye nabanye abaninzi kwiqela lakhe leMimandla.
Kananjalo neenkokeli zeqela eliphikisayo azisihloniphanga isivumelwano. Ngosuku olulandelayo, bafudukela kuYanukovych, nangona kunjalo abazange bahlangabezane neemfuno ezininzi zoMgaqo-siseko waseUkraine. Basilela ukumangalela umongameli, benze uphando, baze olo phando luqinisekiswe yiNkundla yoMgaqo-siseko yaseUkraine. Endaweni yoko, baye ngqo kwivoti yokubekwa ityala kwaye, nakwelo tyala, basilela ukufumana ivoti yesininzi esifunekayo sesithathu kwisine. Ke, nangona iMemorandam yaseBudapest yanikezela ngesiqinisekiso sokhuseleko lwaseUkraine kunye nemfezeko yomhlaba ukutshintshiselana nokunikezelwa kwezixhobo zenyukliya zexesha leSoviet emhlabeni, urhulumente olawulayo waseUkraine waye wawa ngobundlobongela obungavisisaniyo nomgaqo-siseko.
U-Yanukovych wahlala engumongameli osemthethweni-ekuthinjweni kwaye yena, kunye nenkulumbuso ye-Autonomous Republic yaseCrimea, bacela ukuba iRashiya ingenelele kwi-peninsula ukubonelela ngokhuseleko kunye nokukhusela amalungelo oluntu aseRashiya asongelwa ngurhulumente omtsha woburhulumente kunye neo-neo- Izinto zamaNazi ngaphakathi kwayo.
Umntu ngoku unokubona ukuba yayiyinyani kangakanani eso sisongelo ngokujonga empuma yeUkraine apho umkhosi waseUkraine kunye neo-neo-paramilitaries yamaNazi afana ne-Azov Battallion, baye bahamba ngamandla ngokuchasene nabakhuseli bengingqi yeDonbass abantu abafuna ukuzimela kurhulumente waseKiev. abaqondi. Phantse abantu abayi-10,000 bafa kwiMfazwe yaseDonbass, kanti abantu abathandathu kuphela babulawa ngexesha lokuhlonyelwa (ngoFebruwari 23-Matshi19, 2014) eCrimea.
Ngelixa iMfazwe kaDonbass iqhubeka, iCrimea ihlala izinzile namhlanje. Ireferendamu edumileyo eqhutywe nge-16 kaMatshi ka-2014 inike ukuqinisekiswa kokuhlonyelwa okulandelayo. Iziphumo ezisemthethweni zibanga i-82% yabavoti kunye ne-96% yabavoti bekhetha ukuhlanganiswa kwakhona neRussia. Uvoto oluzimeleyo oluqhutywe kwiiveki zokuqala zikaMatshi ka-2014 lufumene i-70-77% yabo bonke abantu baseCrimea bathanda ukuhlanganiswa kwakhona. Kwiminyaka emithandathu phambi kwengxubakaxaka ngo-2008, uhlolisiso lwafumanisa ukuba ama-63% athanda ukuhlanganisana kwakhona. Nangona uninzi lwabantu base-Ukraniya kunye namaTatar balutyeshela unyulo, ukubuyela eRussia ngokucacileyo kwakuyintando yesininzi sabantu baseCrimea.
UMongameli uPutin, echaza imeko yaseUkraine njengenguquko, wathi iRashiya ayinazivumelwano nelizwe elitsha kwaye ke akukho zibophelelo phantsi kweMemorandamu yaseBudapest. Uphinde wacaphula iSahluko I: ISiqendu 1 soMnqophiso weZizwe eziManyeneyo, esimema intlonipho yomgaqo-nkqubo wokuzikhethela kwabantu. I-Helsinki Accords yowe-1975, eyaqinisekisa imida emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II, nayo yavumela ukutshintshwa kwemida yelizwe ngeendlela zangaphakathi zoxolo.
Umfanekiso weKosovo
Kukwaluncedo ukuqwalasela izehlo ezinxuseneyo eKosovo. Kwi-1998 ukuhlanjululwa kobuhlanga ngamajoni aseSerbia kunye nama-paramilitaries kwakhokelela ekungeneleleni kwe-NATO ngaphandle kwemvume ye-UN. Akukho mbuzo omncinci wokuba intshukumo yayingekho mthethweni, kodwa ukuba semthethweni kwafunwa ngenxa yesidingo esiphuthumayo sobuntu. Kwiminyaka elishumi kamva, iKosovo yayiza kuvakalisa ukuzimela ngaphandle kweSerbia kwaye umcimbi ophikisanayo uya kugqiba phambi kweNkundla yoBulungisa yamazwe ngamazwe. Ngo-2009 iUnited States yanika iNkundla ingxelo ngeKosovo eyayifundeka ngokuyinxenye: “Izibhengezo zenkululeko zisenokwaphula imithetho yasekhaya yaye ngokufuthi zisenokwaphula imithetho yasekhaya. Nangona kunjalo, oku akubenzi bophule umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. "
Umongameli waseRashiya uVladimir Putin uthetha nenginginya ngomhla we-9 kuMeyi, 2014, ebhiyozela isikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-69 yoloyiso kwiJamani yamaNazi kunye nesikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-70 yokukhululwa kwesixeko saseCrimea saseSevastopol kumaNazi. (Ifoto karhulumente waseRashiya)
I-United States kufuneka yamkele ukufakwa kweRashiya kweCrimea zombini njengomcimbi wepragmatic, kunye nomgaqo-siseko. Ngo-1990, ngexesha lothethathethwano lokumanyaniswa kwakhona kweJamani, iUnited States yathembisa ukuba akusayi kubakho ukwanda kwe-NATO empuma. Eso sithembiso sophulwe kathathu kwaye izizwe ezilishumi elinanye zongezelelwe kumanyano. I-Ukraine iphinde yangena ngokubambisana ne-NATO, kwaye ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo, ubulungu obupheleleyo buxoxwe. IRashiya ibisoloko ivakalisa ukungamkelwa kwayo. Ngokwewebhusayithi yakho, injongo yohambo lwakho "yayikukuqinisa inkxaso ye-NATO". Ukuba oku bekungaxhokonxi ngokwaneleyo, igqiza lakho leeSenenja ezintathu liye kwisikhululo somkhosi esingaphambili eShirokino, eUkraine ukuya kukhuthaza ukunyuka kwiMfazwe yaseDonbass. USenator uGraham uxelele amajoni ahlangeneyo "Umlo wenu ngumlo wethu, i-2017 iya kuba ngunyaka wecala". Inkokeli yegqiza lakho, uSenator McCain, uthe “ndiqinisekile ukuba niza kuphumelela kwaye siza kwenza konke esinako ukuninika oko kufuneka niphumelele”.
Emva kokuba ezi ntetho zinikiwe, ubonwa kwividiyo yomsitho wangaphambi koNyaka oMtsha usamkela into ebonakala ngathi sisipho esivela kwelinye lamajoni anxibe iyunifomu. Ngayo yonke ingqumbo malunga nokurhoxa kowayesakuba nguMcebisi weSizwe kwezoKhuseleko uMichael Flynn, kunye nokwaphulwa koMthetho weLogan, ngokuxoxa ngokunciphisa izohlwayo nonozakuzaku waseRashiya, oku kubonakala kulityala elibi kakhulu. Ayiphelelanga nje ekubeni igqiza lakho lithethelele umgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle owawungahambelani nelo likaMongameli Obama obambeleyo, wawuchasene nendlela kaMongameli-onyuliweyo uTrump kulo mmandla. Kwaye iziphumo zothethelelo lwakho zinokuba yingozi kakhulu kunokunciphisa nje izohlwayo.
Ngokunyanisekileyo, uMike Madden St. Paul, eMinnesota
