Imfazwe yaseRashiya e-Ukraine-njengeemfazwe zase-USA e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq-kufuneka iqondwe njengokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi. Kuyo yonke intiyo yabo, i-Kremlin kunye ne-White House bazimisele ukuthembela kwimithetho efanayo: Inokwenza okulungileyo. Umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe yinto oyincomayo xa ungawaphuli. Kwaye ekhaya, vuselela ubuzwe ukuze uhambe nomkhosi.
Ngelixa ihlabathi likufuna ngamandla ukuthotyelwa kumgangatho omnye wokungaphathwa kakubi namalungelo abantu, ezinye izizathu eziphikisanayo zisoloko zifumaneka kwiphulo lokuthethelela oko kungenakuthetheleleka. Iingcamango zigqwetheka ngakumbi kuneepretzels xa abanye abantu bengakwazi ukumelana nesihendo sokukhetha amacala phakathi kwemikhosi ekhuphisanayo yobundlobongela obubi.
E-United States, kunye namagosa anyuliweyo kunye nemithombo yeendaba egxeka kakhulu ukubulawa kwabantu baseRussia, uhanahaniso lunokunamathela kwi-craw yabantu bekhumbula ukuba uhlaselo lwase-Afghanistan ne-Iraq luqale ukubulawa kwabantu ixesha elide. Kodwa uhanahaniso lwase-US aluthetheleli nangayiphi na indlela ukubulawa kwabantu kwimfazwe yaseRussia e-Ukraine.
Kwangaxeshanye, ukutsibela kwibhendi yorhulumente wase-US njengomkhosi woxolo luhambo olungeyonyani. I-USA ngoku ikunyaka wayo wamashumi amabini ananye wokuwela imida ngemijukujelwa kunye neziqhushumbisi kunye neebhutsi emhlabeni egameni "lemfazwe yobugrogrisi." Ngeli xesha, iUnited States ichitha ngaphezu kwamaxesha e-10 into eyenziwa yiRashiya emkhosini wayo.
Kubalulekile ukukhanyisa kurhulumente wase-US izithembiso ezaphukileyo ukuba i-NATO ayizukwandisa "i-intshi enye ngasempuma" emva kokuwa koDonga lwaseBerlin. Ukwandiswa kwe-NATO kumda waseRussia yayiyindlela yokungcatsha amathuba entsebenziswano enoxolo eYurophu. Ngaphezu koko, i-NATO yaba sisixhobo esikude kakhulu sokulwa imfazwe, ukusuka eYugoslavia ngo-1999 ukuya e-Afghanistan kwiminyaka embalwa kamva ukuya eLibya ngo-2011.
Imbali embi ye-NATO okoko yanyamalalayo yomanyano lwasemkhosini olukhokelwa yiSoviet iWarsaw Pact ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo yimbali yeenkokeli ezityibilikayo kwiisuti zoshishino ezijolise ekuququzeleleni ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo ezininzi - kungekuphela nje kumalungu amadala e-NATO kodwa nakwamanye amazwe. eMpuma Yurophu eyafumana amalungu. Imithombo yeendaba yase-US ikwindlela engayekiyo yokujikeleza ikhankanya, ingakhanyisi kangako, indlela ukuzinikela kwe-NATO kumkhosi okhutheleyo kugcina. ukutyebisa imida yenzuzo yabathengisi bezixhobo. Ngethuba eli shumi leminyaka liqala, inkcitho yomkhosi yonyaka edityanisiweyo yamazwe e-NATO yayifikile $ 1 zezigidi, malunga nama-20 eRashiya.
Emva kokuba iRashiya iqalise ukuhlasela iUkraine, kwavela iziqalekiso zolo hlaselo Nye Iqela lase-US lokulwa imfazwe emva omnye emva omnye oko kudala kuchasa ukwanda kwe-NATO kunye nemisebenzi yemfazwe. Amagqala oXolo akhuphe ingxelo entle ukugweba Uhlaselo ngelixa besithi "njengamagqala siyazi ukuba ukonyuka kobundlobongela kuphembelela izinto ezibaxiweyo." Umbutho uthe "ekuphela kwento yokwenza ngoku kukuzibophelela kunxibelelwano lokwenyani kunye nothethathethwano olunzulu - ngaphandle kwayo, ungquzulwano lunokuphuma lula kulawulo lude luqhubele phambili ilizwe kwimfazwe yenyukliya."
Isiteyitimenti songeze ukuba "Amagqala oXolo ayaqonda ukuba le ngxaki ikhoyo ayenzekanga kwezi ntsuku zimbalwa zidlulileyo, kodwa imele amashumi eminyaka ezigqibo zomgaqo-nkqubo kunye nezenzo zikarhulumente ezibe negalelo ekwakhiweni kweengxabano kunye nogonyamelo phakathi kwamazwe."
Ngelixa kufuneka sicace kwaye singathandabuzi ukuba imfazwe yaseRussia e-Ukraine lulwaphulo-mthetho oluqhubekayo, olukhulu, olungenakuthetheleleka eluntwini apho urhulumente waseRussia anoxanduva lodwa, akufuneki sibe phantsi kwenkohliso malunga nendima yase-US ekulawuleni uhlaselo olukhulu ngelixa sihlasela amazwe ngamazwe. ukhuseleko. Kwaye indlela ye-geopolitical yorhulumente wase-US eYurophu ibe ngumanduleli wongquzulwano kunye neentlekele ezinokubonwa kwangaphambili.
Cinga nge ileta yesiprofeto kuMongameli ngoko uBill Clinton owakhululwa kwiminyaka engama-25 eyadlulayo, kunye nokwandiswa kwe-NATO kufutshane. Isayinwe ngabantu abangama-50 ababalaseleyo kumgaqo-nkqubo welizwe langaphandle-kubandakanya isiqingatha seshumi elinambini elalisakuba yiSenator, owayesakuba nguNobhala wezoKhuselo uRobert McNamara, kunye nezikhanyiso ezinje ngoSusan Eisenhower, Townsend Hoopes, uFred Ikle, uEdward Luttwak, uPaul Nitze, uRichard Pipes, uStansfield. UTurner noPaul Warnke - le leta yenza ukufunda okupholileyo namhlanje. Ilumkise ngelithi "umzamo okhoyo okhokelwa yi-US wokwandisa i-NATO" "yimpazamo yomgaqo-nkqubo wembali. Sikholelwa ukuba ukwanda kwe-NATO kuya kunciphisa ukhuseleko olumanyeneyo kunye nozinzo lwaseYurophu. "
Le leta yaqhubeka igxininisa: "ERashiya, ukwanda kwe-NATO, okuqhubeka kuchaswa kuwo wonke amaqela ezopolitiko, kuya komeleza inkcaso engekho demokrasi, kunciphise abo bathanda uhlaziyo kunye nentsebenziswano kunye neNtshona, ukuzisa amaRashiya ukuba abuze yonke isithuba. -Ukuhlaliswa kweMfazwe ebandayo, kunye nokuxhathisa i-galvanize kwi-Duma ukuya kwi-START II kunye ne-III izivumelwano. EYurophu, ukwandiswa kwe-NATO kuya kutsala umgca omtsha wokwahlula phakathi kwe-'ins' kunye 'nokuphuma,' ukukhuthaza ukungazinzi, kwaye ekugqibeleni kunciphise ukhuseleko lwaloo mazwe angabandakanywanga.
Isibakala sokuba izilumkiso ezinjalo zingqineka zityeshelwa yayingeyonto nje yamabona-ndenzile. I-bipartisan juggernaut yomkhosi wekomkhulu eWashington yayingenamdla "kuzinzo lwaseYurophu" okanye "imvakalelo yokhuseleko" kuwo onke amazwe aseYurophu. Ngelo xesha, ngowe-1997, ezona ndlebe zazinamandla yayizizithulu kwiinkxalabo ezinjalo kuzo zombini iziphelo zePennsylvania Avenue. Kwaye basenjalo nangoku.
Ngelixa abaxoleli oorhulumente baseRashiya okanye baseUnited States befuna ukugxila kwiinyaniso ezithile ngaphandle kwabanye, umkhosi owoyikekayo wamazwe omabini ufanele ukuchaswa kuphela. Olona tshaba lwethu yimfazwe.
