Isishwankathelo sebhunga
Ngaphandle kokurhoxiswa kweziseko zomkhosi wase-US kunye nemikhosi evela e-Afghanistan, i-United States iyaqhubeka nokugcina malunga ne-750 yeziseko zomkhosi phesheya kwi-80 yamazwe angaphandle nakwiikholoni (imimandla). Ezi ziseko zibiza ngeendlela ezininzi: ngokwezezimali, kwezopolitiko, kwezentlalo nakwezendalo. Iziseko zase-US kumazwe aphesheya zihlala ziphakamisa ukungavisisani kwezopolitiko, ukuxhasa ulawulo lwentando yesininzi, kunye nokusebenza njengesixhobo sokugaya amaqela omlo aphikisana nobukho be-US kunye noorhulumente ubukho bayo buqinisa. Ngamanye amaxesha, iziseko zamanye amazwe ziyasetyenziswa kwaye zenze kwalula e-United States ukumilisela nokwenza iimfazwe eziyintlekele, kubandakanya ne-Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia ne Libya. Kuyo yonke imeko yezopolitiko nakwimikhosi yase-US kukho ukukhula okukhulayo ukuba uninzi lweziseko zaphesheya kwezilwandle bekufanele ukuba zavalwa kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo, kodwa inertia yezobupolitika kunye nemidla yezopolitiko elahlekisiweyo ibagcine bevulekile.
Phakathi "koPhononongo lokuHamba kweSithuba seHlabathi", ulawulo lweBiden lunethuba eliyimbali lokuvala amakhulukhulu amaziko ezomkhosi angafunekiyo phesheya kunye nokuphucula ukhuseleko lwesizwe nolwamanye amazwe kwinkqubo.
IPentagon, ukusukela kunyaka-mali u-2018, isilele ukupapasha uluhlu lwayo lwangaphambili lwaminyaka yonke lweziseko zase-US phesheya. Ngokwazi kwethu, esi sishwankathelo sibonisa ubalo olupheleleyo loluntu kwiziseko zase-US nakwizikhundla zomkhosi kwihlabathi liphela. Uluhlu nemephu ezibandakanyiweyo kule ngxelo zibonisa iingxaki ezininzi ezinxulunyaniswa nezi siseko zaphesheya, zinika isixhobo esinokunceda abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo ukuba bacwangcise ukuvalwa kwesiseko ngokungxamisekileyo.
Izimpendulo ze-2
Ndisebenza kwiphepha elandisekayo leziseko zomkhosi wase-US nazo zonke iikhemikhali eziyingozi (kubandakanya iPFAS) ezidwelisiweyo. Ngaphezulu kwama-400 angcolileyo kunye namakhulu ngakumbi alindele iziphumo zohlolo eziza kukhutshwa. Oku kujongeka ngathi kuya kubandakanya uninzi lweziseko zase-US. Iisiseko zamazwe aphesheya zinzima ngakumbi, ngenxa yamagatya okuzikhusela, kodwa uninzi lusenokuba lungcolisekile.
