A Ukuvuselelwa okumangalisayo kwezopolitiko zaseMelika kuyavela njengotyikityo olungaqhelekanga lwexesha likaTrump.
I-ajenda entsha yohlaziyo oluqhubela phambili iyavela. Ukuphathwa gadalala kobongameli bukaTrump kudala ukuxabisa ngokutsha uMgaqo-siseko kunye nomthetho. Ukonakaliswa okubangelwe yi-coronavirus kugxininisa isidingo sokuphucula amandla karhulumente ukuze aphendule kwizoyikiso ezingalindelekanga nezingalindelekanga. Njengomlilo wasendle kunye neenkanyamba zonyuka ngobushushu kunye nokuhamba rhoqo, isoyikiso esibangelwa kukutshintsha kwemozulu sihamba phambili kwezopolitiko zaseMelika. Iimpawu zentlalo ezinjengokomelela kunye nokuzanelisa ngoku zifumana ingqalelo enkulu. Ubunzima bezoqoqosho buye benza ukuba kungabinakho ukungahoyi iziphene zemigaqo-nkqubo ye-neoliberal enceda abo bazizityebi ngelixa begweba abanye kubomi bokungazithembi nokuswela. Kwaye, ubuncinci, intshukumo ye-Black Lives Matter icebisa ukuba ukubala ngokudibeneyo nelifa lobuhlanga baseMelika kungade kube sekufuphi.
Okwangoku ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ubuncinci, olu luvo luKhulu lungajonganga into ebaluleke kakhulu kwithemba liphela lotshintsho. Into leyo yindima yaseMelika emhlabeni, ekwayimfuneko kakhulu ukuphononongwa ngokutsha kunye nohlaziyo.
Ukusukela ukuphela kweMfazwe ebandayo, umbono okhoyo wobunkokheli behlabathi laseMelika ugxininise ingqokelela engapheliyo yamandla axhobileyo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwawo gwenxa. Iimpawu ezahlukileyo zomgaqo-nkqubo wezokhuseleko wase-US wangoku bubungakanani bohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwePentagon, uthungelwano olwandayo lwamaziko ase-US aphesheya, kunye ne-Washington's penchant yokungenelela ngezixhobo. Akukho sizwe kwiplanethi esiza naphi na kufutshane ne-United States nakweziphi iindidi ezintathu.
Impendulo esebenzayo kumbuzo weklasikhi "Yanele malini?" ngu “Andikatsho nangoku - kufuneka ube nokuninzi.”
Impendulo esebenzayo kumbuzo osisiseko othi "Singabhengeza nini uloyiso?" ngu “Awunako ukuthi okwangoku- kufuneka ndiqhubeke ndizama.”
Xa udibanisa iindleko zizonke, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lukhuseleko lwelizwe ligqitha ngaphezulu kwe- $ 1 trillion ngonyaka. Akukho nanye kwiimfazwe ezininzi kunye nokungenelela ngokuxhobileyo okwenziwe kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini idlulileyo, kunye neAfghanistan neIraq eyona ibalaseleyo, ivelise iziphumo ezonelisayo. Uqikelelo lwenkcitho iyonke kwezi ngxabano (ukuza kuthi ga ngoku) kumantla e-6 yezigidi zeedola. Ayibandakanyi amawaka amajoni ase-US abuleweyo kwaye amashumi amawaka enzakele okanye aphathe amanxeba asemzimbeni, ngokwasengqondweni nangokweemvakalelo. I-United States ihlawule iindleko ezothusayo zokungaziphathi kakuhle kwezomkhosi.
Ndiyavuma ukuba kukho into engalunganga ngalo mfanekiso. Kwaye okwangoku, ngaphandle kokuhlonitshwa okumbalwa, iWashington ibonakala imfama kwisikhewu esixhwithekayo phakathi komzamo kunye neziphumo.
Akukho qela lezopolitiko libonakalise ukuzimisela okukhulu ekujonganeni neziphumo ezibangelwa kukulwa ngokubanzi komgaqo-nkqubo wase-US, ngakumbi kuMbindi Mpuma…
