Abazalwana noodade abathandekayo base-Ireland, ummeli wakho eUnited States u-Anne Anderson uthetha kwiYunivesithi yaseVirginia ngoLwesibili ngemini.
Emva kokudibana nomnye wabemi abalungileyo ogama linguBarry Sweeney, ndambuza oku: “Njengokuba urhulumente wase-US eqinisekisa urhulumente wase-Ireland ukuba zonke iinqwelo-moya zase-US ezifakwa amafutha eShannon azikho kwimikhosi yezomkhosi kwaye aziphethe zikhali okanye izixhobo. Urhulumente waseIreland unyanzelisa oku ukuze athobele umgaqo-nkqubo waseIreland wokungathathi cala, kutheni isebe lezothutho laseIreland phantse yonke imihla livuma inqwelo moya yasemkhosini kwimvumelwano nomkhosi wase-US ukuba baphathe imikhosi exhobileyo yase-US kwimikhosi yezomkhosi, izixhobo nakwizixhobo zokwenza iinqwelo-moya eShannon Airport yaphula ngokucacileyo imithetho yamazwe ngamazwe yokungathathi cala? ”
Ummeli u-Anderson uphendule wathi urhulumente wase-US "kwelona nqanaba liphezulu" wazise i-Ireland ukuba iyahambelana nomthetho, kwaye i-Ireland iyakwamkela oko.
Ke, elona nqanaba liphezulu kurhulumente wase-US lithi umnyama umhlophe, kwaye i-Ireland ithi "Nokuba uthini na, nkosi." Uxolo, bahlobo bam, kodwa ngayo yonke intlonipho efanelekileyo, inja yam inobudlelwane obungcono kunye nam kunokuba ninjalo ne-United States.
Sakhe sanoMongameli wangaphambili ogama linguRichard Nixon owagcina ukuba ukuba umongameli wenza into akukho semthethweni. Ngokucacileyo, uAnderson uthatha umbono weNixonia wolawulo lukaTrump.
Ngoku, ndiyaqonda ukuba uninzi lwenu alunakuvumelana nesikhundla sikaAnderson, kodwa wayenza yacaca gca into yokuba akayiniki umva i-rat ukuba ucinga ntoni. Ngexesha lokuthetha kwakhe ucebise ukuba unyulo oluqhubekayo lwaseFrance kunye nolunye unyulo lwamva nje -bulela ukulunga! - "equlethe umsinga wepopulism." Nina, bazalwana bam noodadewethu, ningabantu. Ngaba uqulethwe ngokufanelekileyo?
Ndabuza uAnderson umbuzo olandelayo. Wayethethile ekuxhaseni ukuxolelwa okanye uhlobo oluthile lonyango olulungelelaniso lwabafuduki abangama-Irish ababese-United States. Ndambuza ukuba ngaba wayibona ukuba inzondo yabafuduki eUnited States ikhutshwa yiyo yonke imfudumalo, apho i-Airport yase-Shannon ne-Ireland. Ndandijonga ingenanto.
Ndambuza ke ukuba i-Ireland ayinakukwazi ukusinceda ngokuba ngumzekelo woxolo. Ndijonge ngathi ukholelwa ukuba ndingabalekela kwindawo yokhuseleko. Ubhengeze ukuba uza kuhamba nombuzo olandelayo. Ndiqinisekile uJohn F. Kennedy, awayenikele kuye iipesenti ezingama-90 zeentetho zakhe, naye ngekhe wawuphepha lo mbuzo ungalunganga.
Ewe, u-Anderson wayengakhange athethe iSikhumbuzo seShannon kwiingxoxo zakhe zokuvula, ngaphandle kokuba uqaphele ukuba iSt. JFK yayisusile apho ukuba ingabuyi. Akazange aziqhayile kwinxaxheba yase-Ireland kwimfazwe engapheliyo echitha iMiddle East kwaye isongela umhlaba. Wakhetha ukugqithisa isifundo sonke ngokuthula. Kodwa xa ebuzwa ngaye, wamane wathi yonke into e-US ithi ityala ngokomthetho, kwaye yashiya kuyo.
Ngaba uye waziva ezinye zezinto uDonald Trump athi zisemthethweni? Ukuba akunjalo, uza kunyangwa ngokwenene.
Abo bethu bangaphandle kweIreland, kwaye ngokukodwa abo baseMelika, banomthwalo wokunyamezela nokukhawuleza ukuboleka yonke inkxaso esinokuyenza kubazalwana kunye nodadewethu base-Ireland abachasene neemfazwe zase-US.
Ngaphandle kwemeko yokungathathi cala ngokusemthethweni eIreland kunye nebango layo lokuba ayizange iye emfazweni okoko yasekwa ngo-1922, i-Ireland yavumela i-United States ukuba isebenzise iSikhululo senqwelomoya sase-Shannon ngexesha leMfazwe yase-Gulf kwaye, njengenxalenye yomanyano ekuthiwa lubumbano lwentumekelelo, ngexesha leemfazwe Oko kwaqala ngo-2001. Phakathi kowama-2002 kunye nomhla esikuwo ngoku, ngaphezulu kwama-2.5 ezigidi zemikhosi yase-US zidlule kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya i-Shannon, kunye nezixhobo ezininzi, kunye neenqwelo moya ze-CIA ezazisetyenziselwa ukuhambisa amabanjwa kwiindawo zokuthuthumbisa. I-Casement Aerodrome nayo isetyenzisiwe. Kwaye, ngaphandle kokuba lilungu le-NATO, i-Ireland ithumele amajoni ukuba aye kuthatha inxaxheba kwimfazwe engekho mthethweni e-Afghanistan.
Phantsi kweNgqungquthela yeHague V eyayisebenza ukusukela ngonyaka we-1910, nalapho i-United States ibiyinxalenye yayo kwasekuqaleni, naphantsi kwe-Article VI yomgaqo-siseko wase-US eyinxalenye yomthetho omkhulu wase-United States, “ii-Belligerents azivumelekanga ukuhambisa umkhosi okanye imizila yemfazwe okanye yezixhobo ezinqumla kummandla waMandla angathathi cala. ” Ngaphantsi kweNgqungquthela yeZizwe eziManyeneyo yokuLwa nokuThuthunjiswa, apho i-United States ne-Ireland bangamaqela khona, kwaye ibandakanyiwe kwizinyanzeliso ezikhethiweyo kwiKhowudi yase-US ukusukela ngaphambi kokuba uGeorge W. Bush ashiye iTexas eWashington, DC, nakuphi na ukungqinelana kufuneka liphandwe kwaye litshutshiswe. Ngaphantsi kwayo zombini i-UN Charter kunye ne-Kellogg-Briand Pact, kuzo zombini i-United States ne-Ireland bezingamaqela ukusukela ekudalweni kwabo, imfazwe e-Afghanistan kunye nazo zonke ezinye iimfazwe zase-US ukusukela ngo-2001 bezingekho mthethweni.
Abantu base-Ireland banesithethe esinamandla sokuchasana ne-imperialism, bebuyela phambili nangaphambi kokuguquguquka kwe-1916 kulo nyaka unyaka wekhulu, kwaye bafuna ukumela ummeli okanye urhulumente wenkululeko. Kwi-poll ye-2007, ngo-58% ukuya ku-19% bachasa ukuvumela i-Military US ukuba isebenzise i-Airport ye-Shannon. Kwi-poll ye-2013, ngaphezu kwe-75% ayixhasekanga. Kwi-2011, urhulumente omtsha wase-Ireland wachaza ukuba uya kuxhasa ukungathathi hlangothi, kodwa akuzange kwenzeke. Esikhundleni salokho uye waqhubeka evumela umkhosi wase-US ukuba ugcine iindiza kunye nabasebenzi kwi-Airport yaseShannon, kwaye ukuzisa imikhosi kunye nezixhobo ngezixhobo rhoqo, kubandakanye namaqela e-20,000 sele sele sele unyaka.
Umkhosi wase-United States awunaso isidingo se-Shannon Airport. Iinqwelomoya zayo zinokufikelela kwezinye iindawo ngaphandle kokuphela kwepetroli. Enye yeenjongo zokusebenzisa rhoqo iSikhululo senqwelomoya saseShannon, mhlawumbi eyona njongo iphambili, kunokwenzeka ngokugcina iIreland ikumanyano lokubulala. Kumabonwakude wase-US, ababhengeza babulela "umkhosi" ngokubukela oku okanye umsitho omkhulu wezemidlalo ovela kumazwe ayi-175. Umkhosi wase-US kunye nabaxhamli bayo abanakuqaphela ukuba elo nani liye lehla laya kwi-174, kodwa injongo yabo, mhlawumbi eyona njongo yabo iphambili kunye nenjongo yokuqhuba, kukunyusa elo nani liye kuma-200. Ulawulo olupheleleyo lwehlabathi jikelele yinjongo echazwe ngokucacileyo yomkhosi wase-US. Nje ukuba isizwe songezwe kuluhlu, onke amanyathelo aya kuthathwa, liSebe likaRhulumente, ngumkhosi, yi-CIA, nangayo nayiphi na into enokubanjiswene nabo, ukugcina olo luhlu luluhlu. Urhulumente wase-United States woyika i-Ireland ngaphandle kwezomkhosi wase-US ngaphezulu kokuba sinokucinga. Umbutho woxolo kwihlabathi liphela kufuneka unqwenele ngakumbi kunokuba kunokwenzeka, kubandakanya nomzekelo oya kuwubeka eScotland, eWales, eNgilani nakwilizwe liphela.
Sazi njani, ngaphandle kweIreland, ukuba sazi nantoni na kwaphela malunga nento eyenziwa ngumkhosi wase-US eIreland? Ngokuqinisekileyo asiyifundi kurhulumente wase-US okanye ubuntatheli base-US. Kwaye urhulumente waseIreland akathathi manyathelo asebenzayo ukuveza into ayaziyo, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba ayisiyiyo yonke into. Siyayazi into esiyaziyo ngenxa yabaphembeleli boxolo abanesibindi nabazinikeleyo eIreland, bemele uninzi lwezimvo, bexhasa umthetho, besebenzisa ubundlobongela bokuyila, kwaye besebenza kwimibutho emininzi, ubukhulu becala Shannonwatch.org. La magorha ayikhuphile ingcaciso evulekileyo, amalungu anyuliweyo anyanzelisiweyo kwindlu yowiso-mthetho yaseIreland, bangena kumabala eSikhululo senqwelomoya saseShannon ukubuza imibuzo kunye nokutsala umdla kwaye bajongane nokutshutshiswa kolwaphulo-mthetho ngenjongo yoxolo. Ukuba bekungengenxa yabo, abemi baseMelika-ilizwe eliqhushumbe ngokoqobo amanye amazwe egameni ledemokhrasi-ngekhe babenolwazi lokuba kwenzeka ntoni na. Okwangoku, uninzi lwabantu baseUnited States abanalo nofifi. Kufuneka sincedise ekubaxeleleni. Nokuba abaxhasi bemfazwe base-US abaxhasi uyilo olunyanzelekileyo, ubuncinci kude kube sele bebadala kakhulu ukuba bangafaneleka. Uninzi kufuneka luzimisele ukuchasa ukunyanzela iIreland ukuba ithathe inxaxheba kwiimfazwe ezingafuniyo ukuthatha inxaxheba kuzo.
Ukuba uthutho lomkhosi wase-US luyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa iShanonon Airport, intlekele iya kwenzeka ngokuqinisekileyo apho. Ewe intlekele yokuziphatha ethatha inxaxheba ekubulaweni kwabantu abaninzi e-Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, njl. Intlekele yenkcubeko yokudala ngobuqhophololo umbono wokuba imfazwe yinto eqhelekileyo iyaqhubeka. Iindleko zezezimali eIreland, ungcoliseko lokusingqongileyo nengxolo, "ukhuseleko" oluphakamileyo olonakalisa inkululeko yoluntu: zonke ezo zinto ziyinxalenye yephakeji, kunye nobuhlanga obufumana ithagethi kwiimbacu ezibaleka iimfazwe. Kodwa ukuba iShannon Airport iyasinda ekusebenziseni umkhosi wase-US ngaphandle kwengozi enkulu, ukuchitheka, ukuqhushumba, ingozi, okanye ukubulala abantu abaninzi, iya kuba yeyokuqala. Umkhosi wase-US ufake ityhefu kwaye wangcolisa ezinye zeendawo ezintle eUnited States nakwihlabathi liphela. Ubuhle obungenakulinganiswa baseIreland abukhuselekanga.
Kwaye kukho i-blowback. Ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwiimfazwe ezingabonakaliyo ezenza ubundlobongela bamazwe ngamazwe, iIreland iyazijolisa. Xa iSpeyin yaba yinto ekujoliswe kuyo, yaphuma kwimfazwe e-Iraq, yenza ukuba iphephe. Xa iBrithani neFransi baba yizinto ezijoliswe kuzo, baphinda kabini ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwezobugandxininkulu-kakhulu-enkulu-ukuphatha-loo -gama, okwenza kube nzima ukukhupha nokunyusa umjikelo onobundlobongela. Iyiphi indlela eya ku-Ireland? Asikwazi. Kodwa siyazi ukuba kuya kuba bubulumko ukuba iIreland ikhuphe ukubandakanyeka kwayo kwintlangano yemfazwe ngaphambi kokuba imfazwe ifike ekhaya.
