Congress Members Jones and Garamendi are going to screen and discuss a hilarious movie mockery of militarism. They’re going to do it in the U.S. Capitol. They’re going to go right on funding the war madness, sanctioning possible new enemies, and risking all of our lives. But for a moment, they’re going to open a window and let a bit of sanity in. And you can sayina apha ukuzibandakanya nabo.
Here’s my review of the film to be screened, written back on June 5th:
UBrad Pitt wenza uStanley McChrystal: Xa imovie yeNetflix 'yeMfazwe iyeka ukuba mnandi
Entsha movie, Umkhosi weMfazwe, kwiNetflix edlala uBrad Pitt uqala njengento ehlekisayo neyanelisayo kaGeneral Stanley McChrystal, malunga nowama-2009, kunye nomkhosi jikelele. Kumnandi ngenxa ye-deadpan idiocy enyanisekileyo. Ukwanelisa noko kuthi bebekhala besithi "Nenza ntoni nina zidenge?" kwiminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu enesiqingatha edlulileyo.
Ngaba sifanele sivuyiswe kukuba ifilimu yaseHollywood isenokwenziwa igculele ubugwenxa bokubulala amakholwa okwenyaniso emkhosini, okanye ngaba sifanele siphazamiseke ukuba iithiyetha aziyi kubonisa iimuvi ezinjalo kwaye kufuneka ziphele kwiNetflix? Ngaba sifanele sivuyiswe kukuba i-satire yemfazwe ebekwe e-Afghanistan ayizange ilinde amashumi eminyaka kwimfazwe eyahlukileyo, ngendlela Mash, okanye ngaba sifanele siphazamiseke ukuba abaninzi ababukeli abayi kukwazi ukuba imfazwe yangoku ihlekwa ngenxa yokuba bakholelwa ukuba imfazwe yase-Afghanistan iphelile okanye abanako ukuhambisana nokwanda kweemfazwe?
Nokuba kunjalo, ndincoma ukuba wonke umntu othanda imovie, umlandeli kaBrad Pitt, umntu omncinci, kunye nomntu omdala babukele le movie. Bukela umphathi-mkhosi onyanisekileyo okholelwa ngokwenene kunye nabalandeli bakhe be-sycophants bakhetha ngokunyanisekileyo ukuphumelela imfazwe engenakunqotshwa, becebisa ubuso obuthe ngqo bokusebenza ekukhuseleni abantu ngelixa ungababulali-okanye ubabulale kancinci, okanye into.
Inyaniso esisiseko yokuba abantu abafuni abantu basemzini abaxhobileyo kwiidolophu zabo kwaye bakhetha ukungaqhutyelwe ibhombu ichazwe apha kwincoko ecacileyo kunye notshintshiselwano oluhlekisayo. Kwaye umlingiswa kaBrad Pitt, osekwe kuStanley McChrystal, nakwiakhawunti kaMichael Hastings kaMcChrystal, uboniswa ejike wafana nehamile yomntu, engakwazi ukubona nayiphi na ingxaki njengayo nayiphi na enye into ngaphandle kwesikhonkwane - umnqweno wakhe "wokuphumelela" emfazweni. ukuqhubela ubumfama bakhe ekungaphumeleli ngokupheleleyo kwemisebenzi yangaphandle okanye "i-counter-inurgency" okanye "i-counter-terrorism," eyaziwa ngokuba bubunqolobi.
Yonke into iyeka ukuba yinto ehlekisayo kwiikota ezintathu zendlela yokungena kumboniso bhanyabhanya, xa uqhanqalazo lwemikhosi olungakwaziyo ukwahlula abantu kwiintshaba luba luphawu lokwenyani lokungakwazi. Xa sifika sibukele iNjengele ephetheyo ichaza zonke iiplatitudes zakhe eziqhelekileyo kunye nobuxoki obungenangqondo be-pep-rally (nokuba uyazixokisa, usaxoka) kumntu omntwana osanda kubulawa yimikhosi yase-US, ukuhleka kuphelile.
Nokuba sibona inkokeli yelali icela iNjengele ukuba "ndicela uhambe ngoku," kukho ulwaneliseko oluncinci kwesi sibongozo sabantu base-Afghan kule minyaka ilishumi elinesiqingatha idlulileyo isenze ezindlebeni zase-US, kuba siyazi ukuba umkhosi wase-US awuzukuphumelela. hlala uphulaphule.
Siyazi kwakhona ukuba lo mboniso bhanyabhanya ubandakanya ubungakanani besohlwayo uStanley McChrystal wokwenyani aya kuze asifumane ngenxa yolwaphulo-mthetho lwakhe. Akuyi kubakho tyala, akukho sigwebo sasemthethweni.
Intelekelelo malunga nesizathu sokufa kukaMichael Hastings iyaqhubeka, kodwa intelekelelo yokuba ngaba abantu abatyhoboza kumatshini wemfazwe wase-US ukuya e-Afghanistan unyaka nonyaka baye babulala kwiinzame ezililize nezolwaphulo-mthetho zokuqhubela phambili iimfuno zabo kufuneka ziphele. Akukho mathandabuzo okuba bayenzile kwaye bakwenza oko ngomkhamo omkhulu. Zinjalo, njengoko lo mboniso bhanyabhanya usitsho, kwaye nanjengoko kungekho phephandaba laseMelika okanye isikhululo sikamabonwakude esinobuganga bokuchaza, sibeka emngciphekweni iUnited States phantsi kwebhanile yezilogeni ezibanga ukuba ziyayikhusela kwaye ziyayikhusela.
Nantsi inxalenye yeleta evulekileyo eya kuMongameli uDonald Trump ukuba nabani na angayisayina Apha:
I-United States isebenzisa i-4 yezigidi kwiyure, i-drones, ibhomu, izibhamu kunye neenkontrakthi ezingaphezu kwexabiso kwilizwe elidinga ukutya kunye nezixhobo zezolimo, eninzi into enokunikezelwa ngamashishini ase-US. Kuze kube ngoku, iUnited States isichithele $ 783 billion ngokungabikho nto ukubonisa ngayo ngaphandle kokufa kwamawaka Majoni ase-US , kunye nokufa, ukwenzakala kunye nokufuduka kwezigidi zabantu base-Afghan. Imfazwe yase-Afghanistan iye yaba kwaye iya kuqhubeka, okoko nje ihlala, izinzileyo umthombo lokugculela amabali of buqhetseba kwaye inkunkuma. Nanjengoko utyalo-mali kwimeko yoqoqosho lwase-US le mpi sele ikhona ngumthi.
Kodwa imfazwe inefuthe elikhulu kwikhuseleko lethu: lisisongele. Ngaphambi kokuba u-Fazaal Shahzad azame ukuvuthela imoto e-Times Square, wazama ukujoyina imfazwe e-United States e-Afghanistan. Kwezinye iziganeko ezininzi, izigebengu ezijolise eUnited States ziye zatsho iinjongo zabo njengoko kubandakanya ukuphindisela kwimfazwe yase-Afghanistan e-Afghanistan, kunye nezinye iimfazwe zase-US kuloo ndawo. Akukho sizathu sokucinga oku kuya kutshintsha.
Ukongezelela, i-Afghanistan yinto enye apho iUnited States ibandakanyeka kwimfazwe enkulu kunye nelizwe elilungu leNkundla yeziLwaphulo-mthetho. Lo mzimba unayo ngoku umemezele ukuba kunjalo kuphanda ukutshutshiswa kwamacala e-US e-Afghanistan. Kwiminyaka eyi-15 edlulileyo, siye saphathwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo kweengqungquthela: ukuzingela abantwana kwii-helicopter, ukuvuthela izibhedlele ngeedrones, ukuvuthwa kwezidumbu - yonke inkohliso ye-propaganda yase-US, yonke inzondo kwaye ihlazisa i-United States.
Ukuyalela amadoda amancinci namabhinqa aseMelika ukuba asebenze ekubulaweni okanye ekufezeni umsebenzi owawufezekileyo kwiminyaka eyi-15 eyadlulayo eninzi ukuyibuza. Ukubalindela ukuba bakholelwe kuloo mishini kuninzi. Le nyaniso inokukunceda ukuchaza oku: umbulali ophezulu wama-US e-Afghanistan uyazibulala. Owesibini obulala umkhosi waseMerika uhlaza eluhlaza okomhlaza, okanye ulutsha lwase-Afghan olwenziwa ngu-US luya kuguqula izixhobo zabo kubaqeqeshi babo! Wena uzibonele oku, Kuthetha: "Masiphume e-Afghanistan. Imikhosi yethu ibulawa ngabantu base-Afghans esibaqeqeshayo kwaye silahleka izigidigidi apho. Nonsense! Yakha i-USA. "
Ukurhoxiswa kwemikhosi yase-US kuya kuba kuhle kubantu base-Afghan, njengoko ubukho bamajoni angaphandle beyithintelo kwiintetho zoxolo. Ama-Afghani ngokwabo kufuneka achaze ikusasa labo, kwaye baya kukwazi ukwenza njalo xa kukho ukuphela kokungenelela kwamanye amazwe.
Siyanxusa ukuba uphendule iphepha kule nxaxheba yokungena emkhosini. Yenza onke amabutho ase-US ahambe esuka e-Afghanistan. Nciphisa i-airstrikes yase-US kwaye endaweni yoko, ngeqhekeza leendleko, ncedisa ama-Afghans ukutya, indawo yokuhlala kunye nezixhobo zezolimo.
