Ku kutshanje column, umhlalutyi wezomkhosi uWilliam Astore wabhala: “[Ilungu leNkongolo] uGeorge Santos luphawu lwesifo esikhulu ngakumbi: ukuswela imbeko, ukuhlazeka, eMerika. Isidima, inyani, imfezeko, ayibonakali ibalulekile, okanye ayinamsebenzi kangako, eMelika namhlanje… Kodwa unayo njani idemokhrasi apho kungekho nyaniso?”
U-Astore uqhubekile nokuthelekisa iinkokheli zezopolitiko kunye nezomkhosi zaseMelika kwiCongressman Santos ehlazekileyo. “Iinkokeli zomkhosi wase-US uvele phambi kweCongress ukuze angqine ukuba iMfazwe yase-Iraq iphumelele, ”ubhale watsho uAstore. "Bavele phambi kweCongress ukuze bangqine ukuba iMfazwe yase-Afghan iphumelele. Bathetha "ngenkqubela phambili," yokujika kweekona, imikhosi yase-Iraq kunye ne-Afghan uqeqeshwe ngempumelelo kwaye bekulungele ukwenza imisebenzi yabo njengoko imikhosi yase-US yarhoxayo. Njengoko iziganeko zibonisile, konke kwajikeleza. Bonke ubuxoki.”
Ngoku iMelika isemfazweni kwakhona, eUkraine, kwaye i-spin iyaqhubeka. Le mfazwe ibandakanya iRashiya, iUkraine, i eunited States kunye namahlakani ayo e-NATO. Akukho qela kolu ngquzulwano eliye lalinganisa nabantu balo ukuba lichaze ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba lilwela ntoni, yintoni elinethemba lokukufezekisa kunye nendlela eliceba ukuyiphumeza ngayo. Onke amacala athi alwela iinjongo ezintle kwaye agxininisa ukuba lelinye icala elingavumiyo ukuthethana ngesisombululo soxolo. Bonke bayakhohlisa kwaye bayaxoka, kwaye amajelo athobelayo (kumacala onke) avuthela ubuxoki babo.
Kuyinyani ukuba ixhoba lokuqala lemfazwe yinyaniso. Kodwa ukujikeleza kunye nokuxoka kuneempembelelo zehlabathi zokwenyani kwimfazwe apho ngamakhulu amawaka abantu bokwenene bayasilwa baze bafe, ngoxa amakhaya abo, kumacala omabini emida, edilizwa ngamakhulu amawaka abantu. amaqokobhe howitzer.
UYves Smith, umhleli weNaked Capitalism, uphonononge olu nxibelelwano lufihlakeleyo phakathi kwemfazwe yolwazi kunye neyokwenyani kwimfazwe. inqaku enomxholo othi, "Kuthekani ukuba iRussia iphumelele iMfazwe yaseUkraine, kodwa abeendaba baseNtshona abazange baqaphele?" Ubone ukuba ukuxhomekeka ngokupheleleyo kwe-Ukraine ekuboneleleni ngezixhobo kunye nemali evela kumahlakani ayo aseNtshona inike ubomi bayo kwibali loloyiso lokuba i-Ukraine iyoyisa iRussia, kwaye iya kugcina uloyiso ukuba nje iNtshona iqhubeka ithumela imali eninzi kwaye izixhobo ezinamandla ngakumbi nezibulalayo.
Kodwa imfuneko yokuqhubeka nokwenza ubuxoki bokuba iUkraine iyaphumelela ngokufumana iinzuzo ezilinganiselweyo kwindawo yedabi inyanzelise iUkraine ukuba igcine. ukubingelela imikhosi yayo kumadabi anegazi eligqithisileyo, njengokuhlasela kwayo malunga neKherson kunye nokungqingwa kweRussia yaseBakhmut naseSoledar. ULt. Col. Alexander Vershinin, inkumanda yetanki yase-US edla umhlala-phantsi, wabhala kwiwebhusayithi yaseHarvard yeRussia Matters, "Ngandlel' ithile, iUkraine ayinakukhetha ngaphandle kokuhlasela nokuba kunjani na iindleko zomntu kunye nezinto eziphathekayo."
Uhlalutyo lwenjongo yemfazwe yaseUkraine kunzima ukuyifumana ngenkungu eshinyeneyo yepropaganda yemfazwe. Kodwa kufuneka sithathele ingqalelo xa uthotho lweenkokheli zomkhosi eziphezulu zaseNtshona, ezisebenzayo kunye nezidla umhlala phantsi, zenza iminxeba engxamisekileyo yokuba idiplomacy iphinde ivule uthethathethwano loxolo, kwaye ilumkise ukuba ukwandisa kunye nokwandisa imfazwe kuyingozi enkulu. Isikali esipheleleyo Imfazwe phakathi kweRussia ne-United States inokunyukela imfazwe yenyukliya.
UNjengele Erich Vad, owayengumcebisi omkhulu wezomkhosi waseJamani u-Angela Merkel iminyaka esixhenxe, kutshanje uthethe noEmma, iwebhusayithi yeendaba yaseJamani. Wabiza imfazwe yase-Ukraine ngokuthi "imfazwe yokulwa," kwaye wayithelekisa neMfazwe Yehlabathi yokuqala, kunye neMfazwe yaseVerdun ngokukodwa, apho amakhulu amawaka amajoni aseFransi naseJamani abulawa ngaphandle kwenzuzo enkulu kulo naliphi na icala. .
U-Vad ubuze okufanayo engaphendulwanga umbuzo ukuba ibhodi yokuhlela yeNew York Times yabuza uMongameli Biden ngoMeyi ophelileyo. Ziziphi iinjongo zemfazwe yokwenyani ye-US kunye ne-NATO?
“Ngaba uyafuna ukufezekisa ukuzimisela kokuthethathethana nokuhanjiswa kweitanki? Ngaba uyafuna ukuphinda uthathe iDonbas okanye iCrimea? Okanye ufuna ukoyisa iRussia ngokupheleleyo? " wabuza uGeneral Vad.
Uqukumbele ngelithi, “Akukho nkcazelo yokwenene yesiphelo. Kwaye ngaphandle kombono wezopolitiko kunye neqhinga elipheleleyo, ukuhanjiswa kwezixhobo kumkhosi omsulwa. Sinentelekelelo yokusebenza kwezomkhosi, esingenako ukuyisombulula ngokomkhosi. Ngokuqinisekileyo, oku kukwangumbono we-American Chief of Staff Mark Milley. Wathi uloyiso lwasemkhosini lwaseUkraine alunakulindelwa kwaye uthethathethwano kuphela kwendlela enokwenzeka. Nantoni na eyenye yinkcitha-xesha engekho ngqiqweni yobomi bomntu.”
Nanini na xa amagosa aseNtshona ebekwa endaweni yile mibuzo ingaphendulwanga, kuye kunyanzeleke ukuba aphendule, njengoko UBiden wenze njalo ukuya kwi-Times kwiinyanga ezisibhozo ezidlulileyo, ukuba bathumela izixhobo zokunceda i-Ukraine yokuzikhusela kwaye ibeke kwindawo eqinile kwitafile yothethathethwano. Kodwa yayiza kujongeka njani “indawo eyomeleleyo”?
Amajelo eendaba ase-US agcina ukuphindaphinda Ingxelo yokuba iRashiya ayisayi kuthethathethana ngokunyanisekileyo, kwaye ifihle kuluntu uthethwano oluneziqhamo olwaqala kamsinya emva kohlaselo lwaseRashiya kodwa lwapheliswa yiUnited States neUnited Kingdom. Zimbalwa iindawo eziye zabika izityhilelo zamva nje nguNdunankulu wangaphambili wase-Israel uNaftali Bennett malunga neengxoxo zokuyeka umlilo phakathi kweRashiya kunye ne-Ukraine eTurkey ukuba wanceda ukulamla ngo-Matshi 2022. U-Bennett wathi ngokucacileyo ukuba iWest "ivaliwe" okanye “umise” (kuxhomekeke kwinguqulelo) uthethathethwano.
UBennett uqinisekise oko kuye kwaxelwa yeminye imithombo ukususela ngo-Epreli 21, 2022, xa uMphathiswa Wezangaphandle waseTurkey uMevlut Cavusoglu, omnye wabalamli, xelelwe I-CNN Turk emva kwentlanganiso yabaphathiswa be-NATO yangaphandle, "Kukho amazwe ngaphakathi kwe-NATO afuna ukuba imfazwe iqhubeke ... Bafuna ukuba iRashiya ibe buthathaka."
Abacebisi kwiNkulumbuso Zelenskyy ni kezelwe iinkcukacha Boris Johnson ka-Aprili 9 utyelelo Kyiv ukuba yapapashwa Ukrayinska Pravda ngoMeyi 5th. Bathi uJohnson wahambisa imiyalezo emibini. Eyokuqala yayikukuba uPutin kunye neRussia "kufuneka bacinezelwe, bangaxoxisana nabo." Okwesibini yayikukuba, nokuba i-Ukraine igqibe isivumelwano neRussia, “iNtshona ehlangeneyo,” abathi uJohnson wayeyimele, ayizukuthatha nxaxheba kuyo.
Amajelo eendaba aseNtshona ngokubanzi alinganisele kolu thethwano lwangaphambili ukuze athandabuze eli bali okanye atyhole nabani na oliphindayo njengabaxoleli bakaPutin, ngaphandle kokuqinisekiswa kwemithombo emininzi ngamagosa aseUkraine, oonozakuzaku baseTurkey kwaye ngoku owayesakuba yinkulumbuso yakwa-Israel.
Isakhelo sepropaganda esisetyenziswa ngabezopolitiko beNtshona kunye namajelo eendaba ukuchaza imfazwe yaseUkraine kuluntu lwabo yingxelo "yeminqwazi emhlophe vs iminqwazi emnyama", apho ityala laseRussia lohlaselo liphindaphindeka njengobungqina bokungabi natyala kunye nobulungisa baseNtshona. Intaba ekhulayo yobungqina bokuba i-US kunye namahlakani ayo babelana ngoxanduva kwimiba emininzi yale ngxaki itshayelwa phantsi kwekhaphethi yesaci, ekhangeleka ngakumbi nangakumbi njengeNkosana encinci. umzobo yeboa constrictor eginye indlovu.
Amajelo eendaba aseNtshona kunye namagosa ayehlekisa ngakumbi xa ezama ityala iRashiya ngokuvuthela imibhobho yayo, iNord Stream imibhobho yerhasi yendalo ephantsi kwamanzi esasaza irhasi yaseRussia ukuya eJamani. Ngokutsho kweNATO, ugqabhuko-dubulo olwakhuphela isiqingatha sesigidi seetoni zemethane kwiatmosfera “yayizizenzo zangabom, zokungakhathali, nokungakhathali.” IWashington Post, kwinto enokuthathwa njengobugwenxa bobuntatheli, catshulwa "igosa eliphezulu lezendalo laseYurophu" elingaziwayo lisithi, "Akukho mntu kwicala laseYurophu lolwandle ocinga ukuba le yinto enye ngaphandle kokutshatyalaliswa kweRashiya."
Kwathatha owayesakuba yintatheli yeNew York Times uSeymour Hersh ukuba aphule ukuthula. Wapapasha, kwiposti yebhlog kweyakhe i-Substack, enomtsalane yempempe Ingxelo yendlela abohlukeneyo boMkhosi woMkhosi wase-US abadibana nomkhosi wasemanzini waseNorway ukutyala iziqhushumbisi phantsi kokhuselo lomkhosi wasemanzini we-NATO, kunye nendlela ezatshatyalaliswa ngayo luphawu oluntsonkothileyo olusuka kwi-buoy ewiswe yinqwelomoya yaseNorway. NgokukaHersh, uMongameli uBiden uthathe indima esebenzayo kwisicwangciso, kwaye wayilungisa ukuba iquke ukusetyenziswa kwe-buoy yokubonisa ukuze akwazi ukuxelela ngokwakhe ixesha elichanekileyo lokusebenza, kwiinyanga ezintathu emva kokuba iziqhushumbisi zityaliwe.
I-White House iqikelelwa rhoxiswa Ingxelo kaHersh "njengento engeyonyani kwaye iyintsomi epheleleyo", kodwa ayikaze inike ingcaciso efanelekileyo malunga nesi senzo sembali sobunqolobi bendalo.
Mongameli I-Eisenhower ngodumo lathi kuphela "ngummi ophaphileyo nonolwazi" onokuthi "alumkele ukufunyanwa kwempembelelo engafanelekanga, nokuba iyafunwa okanye ayifunwa, ngumbutho wezomkhosi-wemizi-mveliso. Amandla okunyuka okuyingozi kwamandla angafanelekanga akhona kwaye aya kuhlala ehleli. ”
Ke kufuneka ukuba ummi ophaphileyo nonolwazi waseMelika uyazi malunga nendima edlalwe ngurhulumente wethu ukuphembelela ingxaki e-Ukraine, indima ethe yatshayelwa ngamajelo eendaba phantsi kombhoxo? Lowo ngomnye wemibuzo ephambili esizame ukuphendula kuyo incwadi yethu Imfazwe e-Ukraine: Ukwenza ingqiqo yongquzulwano olungenangqiqo. Iimpendulo ziquka:
- I-US yaphula umthetho wayo thembiso hayi ukwandisa i-NATO kwiMpuma Yurophu. Ngo-1997, ngaphambi kokuba abantu baseMelika beve ngoVladimir Putin, i-50 yangaphambili i-senator, amagosa asemkhosini adla umhlala phantsi, oonozakuzaku kunye nabafundisi. ndibhalele Umongameli uClinton uyakuchasa ukwanda kwe-NATO, eyibiza ngokuba yimpazamo yomgaqo-nkqubo "wobungakanani bembali." Umongameli omdala uGeorge Kennan gwetywanga "njengesiqalo semfazwe entsha ebandayo."
- I-NATO yacaphukisa iRussia ngokuphela kwayo thembiso ukuya eUkraine ngo-2008 ukuba iya kuba lilungu le-NATO. UWilliam Burns, owayesakuba ngunozakuzaku wase-US eMoscow kwaye ngoku unguMlawuli weCIA, walumkisa kwiSebe likaRhulumente memo, "Ukungena kwe-Ukrainian kwi-NATO yeyona nto iqaqambileyo kuyo yonke imigca ebomvu ye-elite yaseRashiya (kungekhona nje uPutin)."
- The I-US ixhase ubhukuqo-mbuso e Ukraine ngo 2014 ukuba ufake urhulumente ukuba isiqingatha kuphela abantu bayo bagqalwa njengesemthethweni, ebangela ukuqhekeka Ukraine kunye nemfazwe yamakhaya ukuba bulawa Abantu aba-14,000.
- 2015 IMinsk II Isivumelwano soxolo sifezekise umgca ozinzileyo wokuphelisa imfazwe kwaye uzinzile ukunciphisa kwiingxwelerha, kodwa iUkraine ayiphumelelanga ukunika ukuzimela kweDonetsk naseLuhansk njengoko bekuvunyelwene. Angela Merkel kunye noFrancois Holland ngoku ziyavuma ukuba iinkokeli zaseNtshona zixhasa kuphela iMinsk II ukuthenga ixesha lokuba i-NATO ixhobise kwaye iqeqeshe umkhosi waseUkraine ukubuyisela iDonbas ngamandla.
- Ngexesha leveki ngaphambi kohlaselo, abahloli be-OSCE eDonbas babhale ukunyuka okukhulu koqhushumbo olujikeleze umgca wokuphelisa umlilo. Uninzi lwe 4,093 uqhushumbo ngeentsuku ezine bebekummandla ophethwe ngabavukeli, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba imikhosi yaseburhulumenteni yaseUkraine yayiza kuhlasela amabhombu. Amagosa aseMelika nase-UK athi ezi "iflegi yobuxoki” ihlasela, ngokungathi imikhosi yaseDonetsk neyaseLuhansk yayizibhomboloza, kanye njengokuba kamva yacebisa ukuba iRashiya yaqhushumba eyayo imibhobho.
- Emva kohlaselo, endaweni yokuxhasa iinzame zaseUkraine zokudala uxolo, iUnited States neUnited Kingdom zabavala okanye zabanqanda. U-Boris Johnson wase-UK uthe babone ithuba lokuba "cofa" I-Russia kwaye yayifuna ukwenza okuninzi kuyo, kwaye unobhala wezoKhuselo wase-US uAustin wathi injongo yabo yayikuku “buthathaka” Rhashiya.
Ummi olumkileyo nonolwazi angenza ntoni ngako konke oku? Siya kuyigxeka ngokucacileyo iRashiya ngokuhlasela iUkraine. Kodwa ke yintoni? Ngokuqinisekileyo besingafuna ukuba iinkokeli zezopolitiko nezomkhosi zase-US zisixelele inyani ngale mfazwe yoyikekayo kunye nendima yelizwe lethu kuyo, kwaye sifune ukuba abeendaba basasaze inyaniso eluntwini. “Ummi ophaphileyo nonolwazi” ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuthi emva koko afune ukuba urhulumente wethu ayeke ukuphembelela le mfazwe kwaye endaweni yoko axhase iingxoxo zoxolo.
