U-Eisenhower's Ghost Haunts Iqela loMgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle

NguNicolas JS Davies, nge-2 kaDisemba, ngo-2020

Kumazwi akhe okuqala njengoMongameli onyuliweyo uJoe Biden ukuba abe ngu-Nobhala Welizwe, u-Antony Blinken uthe, "kufuneka siqhubeke ngamanyathelo alinganayo okuthobeka nokuzithemba." Uninzi kwihlabathi liphela liyakwamkela esi sithembiso sokuthobeka kulawulo olutsha, kwaye amaMelika nawo kufuneka.

Iqela lomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle u-Biden liya kufuna uhlobo olukhethekileyo lokuzithemba ukuze lijongane nomceli mngeni omkhulu abajongene nawo. Oko akuyi kuba sisongelo kwilizwe langaphandle elinobutshaba, kodwa amandla olawulo kunye nokonakalisa isiXeko sezoMkhosi-mveliso, uMongameli u-Eisenhower walumkisa ootatomkhulu nootatomkhulu malunga neminyaka engama-60 eyadlulayo, kodwa "impembelelo yakhe engafanelekanga" ikhule kuphela ukusukela oko, njengo-Eisenhower walumkisa, nangona wayelumkisile.

Ubhubhane weCovid ngumboniso ombi wokuba kutheni iinkokheli ezintsha zaseMelika kufuneka zimamele ngokuthobekileyo abamelwane bethu kwihlabathi liphela endaweni yokuzama ukubuyisela "ubunkokeli" baseMelika. Ngelixa i-United States yabeka esichengeni intsholongwane ebulalayo ukukhusela umdla wemali yequmrhu, ishiya amaMelika kubhubhane nakwimpembelelo yezoqoqosho, amanye amazwe abeka impilo yabantu bawo kuqala kwaye aqulathe, alawula okanye ayiphelisa intsholongwane.

Uninzi lwabo bantu sele bebuyile baphila ubomi obuqhelekileyo, obunempilo. U-Biden kunye no-Blinken kufuneka bazimamele ngokuthobekileyo iinkokheli zabo kwaye bafunde kuzo, endaweni yokuqhubeka nokukhuthaza imodeli ye-neoliberal yase-US engaphumeleli kuthi.

Njengoko iinzame zokuphuhlisa izitofu ezikhuselekileyo nezisebenzayo ziqala ukuthwala isiqhamo, iMelika iyaziphinda-phinda iimpazamo zayo, ixhomekeke kwi-Big Pharma ekuveliseni izitofu ezibizayo, ezinenzuzo kwi-America First, nanjengoko i-China, i-Russia, inkqubo ye-WHO ye-Covax kunye nezinye Sele beqala ukubonelela ngezitofu zexabiso eliphantsi naphina apho zifunekayo kwihlabathi liphela.

Amayeza okugonya amaTshayina sele esetyenziswa eIndonesia, eMalaysia nase-UAE, kwaye iChina yenza iimali mboleko kumazwe ahluphekayo angenakho ukuwahlawulela ngaphambili. Kwintlanganiso yamva nje ye-G20, u-Chancellor wase-Jikelele u-Angela Merkel ulumkise oogxa bakhe baseNtshona ukuba basithwaxwa yidiplomacy yase-China yokugonya.

I-Russia iye yayalela ukusuka kumazwe angama-50 ngeedosi eziyi-1.2 yezigidigidi ze-Sputnik V vaccine. Umongameli Putin uxelele i-G20 ukuba amayeza okugonya kufanele ukuba abe "ziiasethi eziqhelekileyo zoluntu," afumaneke kwilizwe lonke kumazwe atyebileyo nahluphekileyo ngokufanayo, kwaye iRussia izakubabonelela naphina apho ifuneka khona.

Isitofu sokugonya sase-UK nase-Sweden i-Oxford University-AstraZeneca lelinye ilinge elingenzi nzuzo eliya kuthi lixabise malunga ne- $ 3 ngedosi, iqhezu elincinci leemveliso zase-US zePfizer neModerna.

Ukusukela ekuqaleni kwesifo, kwakuxelwa kwangaphambili ukuba ukusilela kwe-US kunye namanye amazwe aphumeleleyo angaphinda abumbe iinkokheli zehlabathi. Xa ilizwe liza kuchacha ekugqibeleni kulo bhubhani, abantu kwihlabathi liphela baya kubulela i-China, i-Russia, i-Cuba kunye namanye amazwe ngokusindisa ubomi babo nokubanceda kwilixa labo lokudinga.

Ulawulo lweBiden kufuneka luncede abamelwane bethu boyise ubhubhane, kwaye kufuneka lwenze bhetele kuneTrump kunye ne-mafia yakhe ngokubambisana, kodwa sele kudlule ixesha lokuthetha ngobunkokheli baseMelika kule meko.

Imvelaphi yeNeoliberal ye-US yokuziphatha kakubi

Iminyaka elishumi yokuziphatha okungalunganga kwe-US kwezinye iindawo sele kukhokelele ekwehleni ngokubanzi kubunkokheli behlabathi baseMelika. Ukwala kuka-US ukujoyina iProtocol yaseKyoto okanye nasiphi na isivumelwano esibophelelayo kutshintsho lwemozulu kukhokelele kwingxaki enokuthinteleka kuluntu lonke, nanjengoko i-United States isenza ixabiso le-oyile kunye negesi yendalo. Umlawuli wemozulu kaBiden uJohn Kerry ngoku uthi isivumelwano athethathethane naso eParis njengoNobhala Wombuso "asonelanga," kodwa unetyala yena no-Obama kuphela.

Umgaqo-nkqubo ka-Obama yayikukunyusa irhasi eqhotsiweyo njenge "ibhulorho yamafutha" kwizityalo zamandla zase-US, kunye nokuphelisa naliphi na ithuba lesivumelwano semozulu esibophelelayo eCopenhagen okanye eParis. Umgaqo-nkqubo wezulu wase-US, njengempendulo yase-US ku-Covid, sisivumelwano esikhohlakeleyo phakathi kwesayensi kunye nokuzenzela izinto eziye zabonakala ukuba azisisombululo konke konke. Ukuba uBiden noKerry bazisa uninzi lolo hlobo lobunkokheli baseMelika kwinkomfa yemozulu yaseGlasgow ngo-2021, uluntu kufuneka luyala njengomcimbi wokuphila.

I-post-9/11 yaseMelika "Imfazwe Yomhlaba Yobunqolobi," ngokuchanekileyo "imfazwe yomhlaba wonke yongqongqo," ibangele imfazwe, isiphithiphithi kunye nobunqolobi kwihlabathi liphela. Ingcamango engekho ngqiqweni yokuba ubundlobongela emkhosini waseMelika ngandlel 'ithile bunokuphelisa ubugrogrisi ngokukhawuleza bajika baba kukuhanahanisa "kokutshintsha kolawulo" iimfazwe nxamnye nalo naliphi na ilizwe elichasene nemikhosi yasebukhosini ye-wannabe "superpower."

Unobhala welizwe u-Colin Powell wabiza oogxa bakhe ngasese ngokuba "zii-crazies ezi-fucking," nanjengoko waxoka kwi-UN Security Council nakwihlabathi ukuqhubela phambili izicwangciso zabo zokuhlasela i-Iraq ngokungekho mthethweni. Indima ebaluleke kakhulu kaJoe Biden njengoSihlalo weKomiti yeeNdibano zeZizwe eziManyeneyo yayikukucwangcisa iindibano ezazikhuthaza ubuxoki babo kwaye zingabandakanyi amazwi aphikisayo awayenokubacel 'umngeni.

Ukwanda kobundlobongela kubulale izigidi zabantu, ukusuka kuma-7,037 XNUMX amajoni aseMelika asweleka ukuya kuthi ga ezintlanu zokubulawa kwezazinzulu zaseIran (phantsi kuka-Obama ngoku nguTrump) Uninzi lwamaxhoba ibengabantu abamsulwa okanye abantu abazama nje ukuzikhusela, iintsapho zabo okanye amazwe abo kubahlaseli bangaphandle, amaqela okufa aqeqeshwe e-US okanye abagrogrisi abaxhaswa yi-CIA.

Owayengumtshutshisi wase Nuremberg uBen Ferencz uxelele i-NPR kwiveki nje enye emva kolwaphulo-mthetho lwangoSeptemba 11, “ngekhe kube semthethweni ukohlwaya abantu abangenatyala. Kufuneka senze umahluko phakathi ukohlwaya abo banetyala nokohlwaya abanye. ” Nokuba iAfghanistan, i-Iraq, iSomalia, iPakistan, iPalestine, iLibya, iSyria okanye iYemen yayinoxanduva lolwaphulo-mthetho lwangoSeptemba 11, ukanti i-US kunye nemikhosi edibeneyo yagcwalisa iikhilomitha ngeekhilomitha ngamangcwaba abantu abamsulwa.

Njengobhubhane kaCovid kunye nengxaki yemozulu, into eyoyikekayo ongayithelekeleliyo "yemfazwe noloyiko" yenye imeko eyintlekele yokwenziwa komgaqo-nkqubo wase-US okhokelela ekuphulukaneni nobomi kwabantu. Iminqweno efunwa yaza yagqwetha umgaqo-nkqubo wase-US, ngakumbi i-Military-Industrial Complex enamandla, yabeka bucala iinyani ezingathandekiyo ekungekho nanye kula mazwe ehlasele okanye egrogrisa ukuhlasela i-United States, kwaye i-US kunye neentlanganiso ezihlangeneyo kubo zaphula umthetho. uninzi lwemigaqo esisiseko yomthetho wamanye amazwe.

Ukuba uBiden kunye neqela lakhe banqwenela ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba iUnited States idlale indima ekhokelayo neyakhayo emhlabeni, kufuneka bafumane indlela yokuguqula iphepha kwesi siqendu sibi kwimbali esele inegazi kumgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle waseMelika. UMatt Duss, umcebisi weSenethi uBernie Sanders, ucele ikhomishini esesikweni ukuba iphande ngendlela abenzi bemigaqo-nkqubo base-US abaphule ngayo ngabom nangokucwangcisiweyo kwaye bayijongela phantsi "imigaqo-nkqubo esekwe kwimithetho yamazwe aphela" ukuba ootatomkhulu noomakhulu babo bakha ngononophelo nangobulumko emva kweemfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi ezabulala ikhulu lezigidi zabantu.

Abanye baye baqaphela ukuba iyeza elibonelelwe ngulo myalelo usekwe kwimithetho kukutshutshisa amagosa aphezulu ase-US. Oko kungabandakanya uBiden kunye nabanye beqela lakhe. U-Ben Ferencz uqaphele ukuba ityala lase-US lemfazwe "yamatyala" ikwayimpikiswano efanayo eyayisetyenziswa ngabamangalelwa baseJamani ukuthethelela ulwaphulo-mthetho lwabo lobundlongondlongo eNuremberg.

UFerencz ucacisa wathi: “Ezo ngxoxo zaqwalaselwa ngabagwebi abathathu baseMelika eNuremberg,” bamgweba u-Ohlendorf nabanye abalishumi elinambini ngokuxhonywa. Kuyadanisa ke ukufumanisa ukuba urhulumente wam namhlanje uzimisele ukwenza into esixhome amaJamani njengezaphuli mthetho. ”

Ixesha lokuphula umnqamlezo we-Iron

Enye ingxaki ebalulekileyo ejongene neqela leBiden kukonakala kobudlelwane baseMelika ne China ne Russia. Omabini la mabutho omkhosi okhuselo ngokuyintloko ayazikhusela, kwaye ke ixabiso lixabisa iqhezu elincinci loko i-US ikusebenzisa kumatshini wayo wehlabathi wemfazwe- i-9% kwimeko yeRussia, kunye ne-36% yase China. I-Russia, kuwo onke amazwe, inezizathu ezivakalayo zembali zokugcina ukhuseleko olomeleleyo, kwaye oko kuyabiza kakhulu.

Njengoko uMongameli wangaphambili uCarter wakhumbuza uTrump, i-China khange ibesemfazweni ukusukela kwimfazwe emfutshane kunye neVietnam ngo-1979, endaweni yoko ijolise kuphuhliso lwezoqoqosho kwaye yaphakamisa abantu abangama-800 ezigidi kwintlupheko, ngelixa i-US ibusebenzisa ubutyebi bayo kulahlekile. iimfazwe. Ngaba kuyamangalisa ukuba uqoqosho lwase China ngoku lusempilweni kwaye lunamandla ngakumbi kunelethu?

I-United States isola iRussia ne-China ngenkcitho yaseMelika engazange ibonwe ngaphambili kunye nokulwa kwezomkhosi kwihlabathi liphela kukutshintsha kwesizathu kunye nefuthe- ubuninzi bobubhanxa nokungabikho kokusesikweni njengokusebenzisa ulwaphulo-mthetho lukaSeptemba 11th njengesizathu sokuhlasela amazwe nokubulala abantu. owayengenanto yakwenza nolwaphulo-mthetho olwenziwe.

Ke nalapha, iqela likaBiden lijongane nokukhetha phakathi komgaqo-nkqubo osekwe kwinyani yokwenyani kunye nenkohliso eqhutywa kukubanjwa komgaqo-nkqubo wase-US ngumdla okhohlakeleyo, kule meko unamandla kunabo bonke, i-Eisenhower's Inflamous Military-Industrial Complex. Amagosa kaBiden achithe imisebenzi yabo kwiholo yezibuko kunye neengcango ezijikelezayo ezibhidanisa kwaye zibhidanise ukhuselo kunye nomkhosi okhohlakeleyo, kodwa ikamva lethu ngoku lixhomekeke ekuhlanguleni ilizwe lethu kwityala likaSathana.

Njengoko intetho isithi, ekuphela kwesixhobo i-US etyale imali kuso sisando, ke zonke iingxaki zikhangeleka ngathi sisikhonkwane. Impendulo yase-US kwimpikiswano nganye nelinye ilizwe yinkqubo entsha yezixhobo ezibizayo, olunye ungenelelo lomkhosi wase-US, uqhushululu, ukusebenza ngokufihlakeleyo, imfazwe yommeleli, isohlwayo esiqatha okanye enye indlela yokunyanzelwa, konke kusekwe kumandla e-US. ukunyanzelisa ukuthanda kwayo kwamanye amazwe, kodwa konke kuya kungasebenzi, kuyonakalisa kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba urhoxise kwakanye.

Oku kukhokelele kwimfazwe engapheliyo e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq; ishiye iHaiti, iHonduras neUkraine zonakaliswa zaza zaxinana nendlala ngenxa yezigqibo ezixhaswe yi-US; iyitshabalalisile iLibya, iSyria neYemen iimfazwe ezifihlakeleyo nezisemngciphekweni kunye neziphumo zeengxaki zoluntu; kunye nezohlwayo zase-US ezichaphazela isinye kwisithathu soluntu.

Ke umbuzo wokuqala kwintlanganiso yokuqala yeqela lomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle u-Biden kukuba ingaba banokuqhawula ukuthembeka kwabo kubavelisi beengalo, iitanki zokuxhasa ezixhaswe ngemali, ukurhweba kunye neefemu zabacebisi, iikontraki zikarhulumente kunye neenkampani abazisebenzeleyo okanye ababambisene nabo ngexesha labo imisebenzi.

Olu ngquzulwano lomdla lukugula kwiingcambu zezona ngxaki zinzima zijamelene neMelika kunye nehlabathi, kwaye azisayi kusonjululwa ngaphandle kwekhefu elicocekileyo. Naliphi na ilungu leqela likaBiden elingenako ukuzibophelela kwaye lithetha ukuba kufuneka liyeke ngoku, ngaphambi kokuba lenze monakalo ongaphezulu.

Kudala phambi kwentetho yakhe yokuvalelisa ngo-1961, uMongameli Eisenhower wenza enye intetho, ephendula ngokusweleka kukaJoseph Stalin ngo-1953. Uthe, “Yonke imipu eyenziweyo, yonke inqanawa yomkhosi eyasungulwa, yonke irokethi eyadutyulwayo ibonisa, ekugqibeleni, ubusela. kwabo balambayo kwaye abondliwayo, abo bayabanda nabanganxibanga… Le asiyondlela yokuphila kwaphela, nangayiphi na indlela eyiyo. Ngaphantsi kwelifu elisongela imfazwe, uluntu luxhomekeke emnqamlezweni wentsimbi. ”

Kunyaka wakhe wokuqala e-ofisini, u-Eisenhower wayiphelisa iMfazwe yaseKorea kwaye wayinciphisa inkcitho yomkhosi ngama-39% ukusuka kwixesha lawo lemfazwe. Emva koko waxhathisa ingcinezelo yokuyiphakamisa kwakhona, ngaphandle kokusilela kwakhe ukuphelisa iMfazwe ebandayo.
Namhlanje, iComplex-Industrial Complex ithembele ekubuyiseleni kwiMfazwe ebandayo nxamnye neRussia ne China njengeyona nto iphambili kumandla ayo kunye nenzuzo, ukusigcina sixhomekeke kulo mnqamlezo mdala wentsimbi, sichitha ubutyebi baseMelika kwizixhobo zezigidigidi zeedola iinkqubo njengoko abantu belambile, izigidi zabantu baseMelika abanalo ukhathalelo lwempilo kwaye imozulu yethu ayinakuphila.

Ngaba uJoe Biden, uTony Blinken noJake Sullivan ziindidi zeenkokheli zokuthi "Hayi" kwi-Complex ye-Military-Industrial Complex ze bathumele lo mnqamlezo wentsimbi kwibala lezembali, apho lililo? Siza kufumanisa ngokukhawuleza.
