IPentagon ekugqibeleni ipapashe eyokuqala IsiShwankathelo samandla omoya okoko uMongameli uBiden wathatha isikhundla malunga nonyaka odlulileyo. Ezi ngxelo zenyanga ziye zapapashwa ukususela ngo-2007 ukuze kubhalwe inani leebhombu kunye nemijukujelwa eyehliswa yimikhosi yomoya ekhokelwa yi-US e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq naseSiriya ukususela ngo-2004. Kodwa uMongameli uTrump wayeka ukuzipapasha emva koFebruwari 2020, ukugubungela ukuqhubeka kwe-US ibhomu emfihlakalweni.
Kwiminyaka engama-20 edlulileyo, njengoko kubhaliwe kwitheyibhile engezantsi, i-US kunye nemikhosi yomoya ehlangeneyo iye yehla ngaphezu kwe-337,000 iibhombu kunye nemijukujelwa kwamanye amazwe. Lowo ngumlinganiselo wama-46 ogwayimbo ngosuku kangangeminyaka engama-20. Oku kuqhunyiswa kwebhombu okungapheliyo akubanga kubulalayo kwaye kutshabalalisa amaxhoba ako kuphela kodwa kwamkelwa ngokubanzi njengokujongela phantsi uxolo nokhuseleko lwezizwe ngezizwe kwaye kunciphisa ukuma kweMelika emhlabeni.
Urhulumente wase-US kunye nokusekwa kwezopolitiko kube nempumelelo ephawulekayo ekugcineni uluntu lwaseMelika ebumnyameni malunga nemiphumo eyoyikisayo yala maphulo exesha elide okutshatyalaliswa kwabantu abaninzi, okubavumela ukuba bagcine inkohliso ye-militarism yase-US njengamandla alungileyo emhlabeni. intetho yabo yezopolitiko yasekhaya.
Ngoku, naxa bejongene nokuthatyathwa kweTaliban e-Afghanistan, baphinda kabini kwimpumelelo yabo ekuthengiseni eli bali lingeyonyani kuluntu lwaseMelika ukuze balawule iMfazwe yabo yakudala yaseRussia neTshayina, ngokumangalisayo nangokuqikelelwayo besonyusa umngcipheko wemfazwe yenyukliya.
entsha IsiShwankathelo samandla omoya Idatha ityhila ukuba iUnited States iwise ezinye iibhombu ezingama-3,246 kunye nemijukujelwa e-Afghanistan, eIraq naseSyria (2,068 phantsi kweTrump kunye ne-1,178 phantsi kweBiden) ukusukela ngoFebruwari 2020.
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba ibhombu yase-US yala mazwe e-3 iye yancipha kakhulu ukusuka kwi-12,000 iibhombu kunye nemijukujelwa ephoswe kuyo ngo-2019. Enyanisweni, ukususela ekurhoxisweni kwemikhosi yase-US e-Afghanistan ngo-Agasti, umkhosi wase-US uye waqhuba ngokusemthethweni. Ukubetha komoya apho, kwaye kwawisa kuphela iibhombu ze-13 okanye imijukujelwa e-Iraq naseSyria - nangona oku kungathinteli ukubetha okongeziweyo okungaxelwanga yimikhosi ephantsi komyalelo okanye ulawulo lweCIA.
Umongameli uTrump kunye noBiden bobabini bafanelwe yikhredithi ngokuqaphela ukuba ukuqhushumba okungapheliyo kunye nokusebenza akunakuzisa uloyiso e-Afghanistan. Isantya urhulumente afakwe ngaso e-US wawa kwi-Taliban kanye nje ukuba ukurhoxiswa kwe-US kuqhubeke kwaqinisekisa ukuba iminyaka engama-20 yomkhosi okhohlakeleyo, uqhushumbo lwasemoyeni kunye nenkxaso yoorhulumente abonakeleyo ekugqibeleni yasebenza kuphela ekuqhubeni abantu abadiniweyo yimfazwe e-Afghanistan babuyele e-Afghanistan. Ulawulo lweTaliban.
Isigqibo sikaBiden sokulandela iminyaka engama-20 yokuhlaliswa kwamakholoniyali kunye nokuqhushumba kweenqwelo moya e-Afghanistan ngohlobo olufanayo lwemfazwe ekhohlakeleyo yokungqingwa kwezoqoqosho i-United States eyenze eCuba, e-Iran, eNorth Korea naseVenezuela inokuphinda ijongele phantsi iMelika emehlweni ehlabathi.
Akukhange kuphenduleke ngale minyaka ingama-20 yentshabalalo engenangqiqo. Nokuba ngokupapashwa kweAirpower Summaries, inyani embi yeemfazwe zebhombu zase-US kunye nokwenzakala okukhulu abakwenzayo kuhlala kufihliwe kubantu baseMelika.
Lungaphi kohlaselo lwe-3,246 olubhalwe kwisiShwankathelo se-Airpower ukusukela ngoFebruwari 2020 ubusazi ngaphambi kokufunda eli nqaku? Mhlawumbi uvile malunga nesiteleka se-drone esabulala abantu be-10 base-Afghan e-Kabul ngo-Agasti 2021. Kodwa kuthekani ngezinye iibhombu ze-3,245 kunye nemijukujelwa? Babulala bani okanye benzakalise bani, yaye batshabalalisa amakhaya kabani?
NgoDisemba 2021 ENew York Times ukuchazwa ngeziphumo zokuhlasela kweenqwelo moya zase-US, iziphumo zophando lweminyaka emihlanu, ibingothusanga kuphela abantu abaninzi ababuleweyo kunye nobuxoki basemkhosini obubhengeziweyo, kodwa nangenxa yokuba iveze ukuba kuncinci kangakanani ingxelo yophando olwenziwe ngamajelo eendaba e-US kula mashumi mabini eminyaka. yemfazwe.
Kwimizi-mveliso yaseMelika, iimfazwe zomoya ezikude, kwanamajoni ase-US abona bantu bathe ngqo kwaye babandakanyeka ngokusondeleyo bayakhuselwa ekudibaneni kwabantu nabantu ababutshabalalisayo ubomi babo, ngelixa uninzi loluntu lwaseMelika, kufana nala makhulu amawaka. yeziqhushumbisi ezibulalayo azizange zenzeke.
Ukunqongophala kolwazi loluntu ngohlaselo lwasemoyeni lwase-US akubangelwa kukungakhathali ngembubhiso eyenziwa ngurhulumente wethu ngamagama ethu. Kwiimeko ezinqabileyo esifumanisa ngazo, njengogwayimbo olubulalayo lwedrone eKabul ngo-Agasti, uluntu lufuna ukwazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni kwaye luxhasa ngamandla uxanduva lokuphendula kwe-US ngokufa kwabantu.
Ke ukungazi koluntu kwi-99% yokuhlaselwa komoya wase-US kunye neziphumo zabo azibangelwa kukungakhathali koluntu, kodwa zizigqibo zangabom zomkhosi wase-US, abezopolitiko bamaqela omabini kunye nemidiya yeshishini ukugcina uluntu ebumnyameni. Ukucinezelwa kwenyanga ye-21 yenyanga ye-Airpower Summaries yenyanga kuphela ngumzekelo wamva nje woku.
Ngoku ukuba isiShwankathelo esitsha se-Airpower sigcwalise amanani afihliweyo ngaphambili ka-2020-21, nantsi idatha epheleleyo ekhoyo kwiminyaka engama-20 ebulalayo neyonakalisayo yase-US kunye ne-allied air strikes.

**Amanye amazwe: iLebhanon, iLibya, iPakistan, iPalestine, iSomalia.
La manani asekwe kwi-US Isishwankathelo soMoya yeAfghanistan, iIraq neSiriya; Ubalo lweZiko loPhando loBuntatheli I-drone yokubetha ePakistan, eSomalia naseYemen; i Iiprojekthi zeDatha yaseYemen ukubalwa kweebhombu kunye nemijukujelwa eyehla eYemen (kuphela ngoSeptemba 2021); isiseko sedatha seNew America Foundation ye uhlaselo lomoya wangaphandle eLibya; kunye neminye imithombo.
Kukho iindidi ezininzi zoqhankqalazo lomoya ezingaqukwanga kule theyibhile, nto leyo ethetha ukuba amanani okwenene ezixhobo ezikhutshiweyo angaphezulu. Ezi ziquka:
Helikopta ugwayimbo: Military Times ipapashwe nqaku ngoFebruwari 2017 enesihloko esithi, “Izibalo zomkhosi wase-US kuhlaselo lwasemoyeni olubulalayo azilunganga. Amawaka akachazwanga.” Elona qula likhulu lohlaselo lomoya olungaqukwanga kwi-US Airpower Summaries luhlaselo lweehelikopta. Umkhosi wase-US uxelele ababhali ukuba ii-helicopter zayo zenze i-456 ngenye indlela i-airstrikes engazange ichazwe e-Afghanistan kwi-2016. imijukujelwa emininzi yadutyulwa kolu hlaselo lwe-9 e-Afghanistan kunyaka omnye abaphanda ngayo.
Imipu ye-AC-130: Umkhosi waseMelika awuzange ubatshabalalise ooGqirha ngaphandle kwemida Isibhedlele eKunduz, Afghanistan, ngo-2015 ngeebhombu okanye imijukujelwa, kodwa nge-Lockheed-Boeing AC-130 gunship. Aba matshini bokutshatyalaliswa ngobuninzi, badla ngokuphathwa yi-US Air Force yemisebenzi ekhethekileyo yemikhosi, yenzelwe ukujikeleza into ekujoliswe kuyo emhlabeni, igalela iigobolondo ze-Howitzer kunye nomlilo we-canon kuyo de itshatyalaliswe ngokupheleleyo. I-US isebenzise i-AC-130s e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, eLibya, eSomalia naseSiriya.
I-Strafing run: IsiShwankathelo soMmandla woMoya wase-US ka-2004-2007 siquka inqaku lokuba “uqhankqalazo olunezixhobo eziyehliweyo… alubandakanyi i-20mm kunye ne-30mm inkanunu okanye iirokethi.” Kodwa ke Iinkanunu ezingama-30mm kwi-A-10 Warthogs kunye nezinye iinqwelomoya zokuhlaselwa komhlaba zizixhobo ezinamandla, ekuqaleni eziyilelwe ukutshabalalisa iitanki zaseSoviet. Ii-A-10s zinokutshisa amaqokobhe euranium aphelelweyo angama-65 ngomzuzwana ukugquma indawo enomlilo obulalayo nongakhethi cala. Kodwa oko akubonakali ngathi "kukukhutshwa kwezixhobo" kwi-US Airpower Summaries.
Imisebenzi "yokulwa nabanqolobi" kunye "nobunqolobi" kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi: I-United States yenza intlangano yomkhosi kunye ne-11 yamazwe aseNtshona Afrika kwi-2005, kwaye yakha isiseko se-drone eNiger, kodwa asifumananga naluphi na olucwangcisiweyo. ukubalwa kwe-US kunye nohlaselo lomoya olumanyeneyo kulo mmandla, okanye kwiiPhilippines, eLatin America okanye kwenye indawo.
Ukungaphumeleli kukarhulumente wase-US, abezopolitiko kunye namajelo eendaba ukwazisa ngokunyanisekileyo kwaye bafundise uluntu lwaseMelika malunga nokutshatyalaliswa kwabantu abaninzi okucwangcisiweyo okwenziwa yimikhosi exhobileyo yelizwe lethu kuye kwavumela ukuba le ndyikityha iqhubeke ingaphawulwanga kwaye ingaqwalaselwanga iminyaka engama-20.
Ikwasishiye sisemngciphekweni wokuvuselelwa kwengxelo ye-anachronistic, ye-Manichean Cold War ebeka emngciphekweni wentlekele enkulu. Kule topsy-turvy, "ngeglasi yokujonga" ibali, ilizwe liqhuma ibhombu izixeko zibe yingqushu nokwenza iimfazwe oko ukubulala izigidi yabantu, iziveza njengamandla anenjongo entle ehlabathini. Emva koko ipeyinta amazwe afana neChina, iRashiya kunye ne-Iran, athe ngokuqondakalayo womeleza ukhuseleko lwawo ukuthintela i-United States ekuhlaseleni, njengezoyikiso kubantu baseMelika kunye noxolo lwehlabathi.
The iintetho ezikumgangatho ophezulu ukuqala nge-10 kaJanuwari e-Geneva phakathi kwe-United States kunye neRashiya lithuba elibalulekileyo, mhlawumbi lithuba lokugqibela, lokubuyisela ukunyuka kweMfazwe ebandayo yangoku ngaphambi kokuwohloka kobudlelwane base-East-West bube bungenakurhoxiswa okanye bungene kungquzulwano lomkhosi.
Ukuba siza kuphuma kule moss yomkhosi kwaye siphephe umngcipheko wemfazwe ye-apocalyptic neRussia okanye iTshayina, uluntu lwase-US kufuneka lucele umngeni kwingxelo yeMfazwe ebandayo yokuba iinkokeli zasemkhosini zase-US kunye neenkokheli zabahlali zithengisa ukuthethelela utyalo-mali lwazo oluhlala lukhula kwinyukliya. izixhobo kunye nomatshini wemfazwe wase-US.

I mpendulo
I-US yidemon yokufa kwihlabathi liphela! Andiyithengi ingxabano ethi “besingayazi” ecetywa ngabaxoleli baseMelika. Indikhumbuza amaJamani emva kweWWII xa ajikeleza kwiinkampu zamaNazi kwaye abona iimfumba zezidumbu. Andikholelwa kuqhankqalazo lwabo ngoko kwaye andikholelwa ukuba abantu baseMelika ngoku!
