Abakhuseli baseUkraine baxhathisa ngenkalipho ubundlobongela baseRussia, behlazisa lonke ilizwe kunye neBhunga lezoKhuseleko le-UN ngokusilela ukubakhusela. Luphawu olukhuthazayo lokuba amaRashiya nama-Ukrainian ukubamba iintetho eBelarus oko kunokukhokelela ekuyekisweni komlilo. Kufuneka kwenziwe zonke iinzame zokuphelisa le mfazwe ngaphambi kokuba umkhosi waseRashiya ubulale amawakawaka abakhuseli nabemi baseUkraine, uze unyanzele amakhulu amawaka ukuba asabe.
Kodwa kukho inyani ekhohlisayo ngakumbi emsebenzini ngaphantsi komdlalo wokuziphatha okuhle, kwaye yindima ye-United States kunye ne-NATO ekusekeni inqanaba lale ngxaki.
Umongameli uBiden ubize uhlaselo lwaseRussia "engavumelekanga,” kodwa oko akuyonyaniso. Kwiintsuku ezine ezikhokelela kuhlaselo, abahloli bokupheliswa komlilo abavela kuMbutho woKhuseleko kunye neNtsebenziswano eYurophu (OSCE) ziweyo ukwanda okuyingozi kokwaphulwa kokupheliswa kokudubula eMpuma Ukraine, ngokuphulwa kwe-5,667 kunye nokudubula kwe-4,093.
Uninzi lwabo lwalungaphakathi kwimida yeDonetsk (DPR) kunye neLuhansk (LPR) People's Republics, nto leyo eyayihambisana nokuhlasela komkhosi waseUkraine. Nge phantse i700 I-OSCE ibeka iliso lokuphela komlilo emhlabeni, ayithembeki ukuba zonke ezi "ziziganeko zeflegi" ezibekwe yimikhosi eyahlulayo, njengoko amagosa ase-US naseBrithani ayesitsho.
Enoba oko kudubulana koonokrwece kwakuyenye nje inkxwaleko yemfazwe yamakhaya eyathabatha ixesha elide okanye ukuvulelwa kohlaselo olutsha lukarhulumente, ngokuqinisekileyo yayiyimvukelo. Kodwa uhlaselo lwaseRussia lugqithise naliphi na inyathelo lokukhusela i-DPR kunye ne-LPR kolu hlaselo, luyenza ilingane kwaye ingabikho mthethweni.
Kwimeko enkulu, nangona kunjalo, i-Ukraine iye yaba lixhoba elingaziwayo kunye ne-proxy kwi-US Cold War ephinda yavela e-US ngokuchasene neRashiya ne-China, apho i-United States ijikeleze omabini la mazwe ngemikhosi yasemkhosini kunye nezixhobo ezikhubekisayo, irhoxisiwe kulo lonke uluhlu lwezivumelwano zokulawula izixhobo. , kwaye wala ukuthethathethana ngezisombululo kwiinkxalabo zokhuseleko ezinengqiqo eziphakanyiswe yiRashiya.
NgoDisemba ka-2021, emva kwengqungquthela phakathi kukaMongameli uBiden kunye noPutin, iRussia yangenisa a isindululo esiyidrafti kwisivumelwano esitsha sokhuseleko phakathi kweRashiya kunye ne-NATO, kunye namanqaku e-9 aza kuthethathethwana. Bamele isiseko esifanelekileyo sotshintshiselwano olunzulu. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kwingxaki e-Ukraine yayikuvuma nje ukuba i-NATO ayiyi kwamkela i-Ukraine njengelungu elitsha, elingekho etafileni kwikamva elibonakalayo kuyo nayiphi na imeko. Kodwa abalawuli beBiden basichithile sonke isindululo saseRussia njengesingaqalisiyo, singenaso nesiseko sothethathethwano.
Ke kutheni uthetha-thethwano ngesivumelwano sokhuseleko sobabini singamkelekanga kangangokuba iBiden yayikulungele ukubeka esichengeni amawaka obomi baseUkraine, nangona ingebubo ubomi obunye baseMelika, kunokuzama ukufumana indawo efanayo? Ithini loo nto malunga nexabiso elihambelanayo elibekwa nguBiden kunye noogxa bakhe kubomi baseMelika ngokuchasene neUkraine? Kwaye sisiphi esi sikhundla singaqhelekanga i-United States ikuyo kwihlabathi lanamhlanje evumela umongameli waseMelika ukuba abeke esichengeni ubomi abaninzi base-Ukraine ngaphandle kokucela abantu baseMelika ukuba babelane ngentlungu kunye nokuzincama kwabo?
Ukuwohloka kobudlelwane base-US kunye neRussia kunye nokusilela kobuqhetseba obungaguqukiyo bukaBiden buye babangela le mfazwe, kwaye umgaqo-nkqubo kaBiden "ukhuphela ngaphandle" zonke iintlungu kunye nokubandezeleka ukuze abantu baseMelika bakwazi, njengenye. Umongameli wexesha lemfazwe wakha wathi, “hamba ngeshishini labo” kwaye uqhubeke usiya kuthenga. Amahlakani aseMelika aseYurophu, ekufuneka ngoku ahlalise amakhulu amawaka eembacu kwaye ajongane namaxabiso anyukayo amandla, kufuneka bakulumkele ukuwela ngasemva kolu hlobo “lobunkokeli” phambi kokuba nabo, baphelele kumgca ongaphambili.
Ekupheleni kweMfazwe Yomlomo, iSivumelwano saseWarsaw, i-NATO yaseMpuma Yurophu, yachithwa, kunye ne-NATO. yinto ekufanele ubenayo njengokuba yayiyizuzile injongo eyayakhelwe ukuba isebenze. Endaweni yoko, i-NATO iphile njengemfelandawonye eyingozi, engaphandle kolawulo yomkhosi ezinikele ikakhulu ekwandiseni indawo yayo yokusebenza kunye nokuthethelela ubukho bayo. Iye yanda isuka kumazwe ali-16 ngowe-1991 yaya kutsho kwinani elipheleleyo lamazwe angama-30 namhlanje, equka inkoliso yeMpuma Yurophu, kwangaxeshanye iye yenza ugonyamelo, ukudubula kweebhombu kubemi nolunye ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe.
Kwi-1999, i-NATO yaqaliswa imfazwe engekho mthethweni yokukrola ngezomkhosi iKosovo ezimeleyo kwiintsalela zaseYugoslavia. I-Airstrikes ye-NATO ngexesha leMfazwe yase-Kosovo yabulala amakhulu abantu, kwaye iqabane layo eliphambili emfazweni, uMongameli we-Kosovo uHashim Thaci, ngoku ukwityala e-Hague ngenxa yokothusayo. zolwaphulo mthetho wenza phantsi kokhuselo lokuqhushumba kwe-NATO, kuquka ukubulala ngokungenalusini amakhulu amabanjwa ukuze athengise amalungu awo angaphakathi kwimarike yamazwe ngamazwe.
Kude neNorth Atlantic, i-NATO yazimanya ne-United States kwimfazwe yayo yeminyaka engama-20 e-Afghanistan, emva koko yahlasela yatshabalalisa iLibya ngo-2011, ishiya ngasemva. imeko yokusilela, inkathazo eqhubekayo yababaleki kunye nobundlobongela kunye nesiphithiphithi kummandla wonke.
Ngowe-1991, njengenxalenye yesivumelwano seSoviet sokwamkela ukumanyaniswa kweMpuma neNtshona Jamani, iinkokeli zaseNtshona zaqinisekisa oogxa bazo baseSoviet ukuba aziyi kuyandisa i-NATO kufutshane neRashiya kunomda weJamani emanyeneyo. Unobhala welizwe laseMelika uJames Baker uthembise ukuba i-NATO ayizukuqhubela phambili “i-intshi enye” ngaphaya komda waseJamani. Izithembiso ezaphukileyo zaseNtshona zicaciswe ukuze zibonwe ngumntu wonke kwi-30 declassified amaxwebhu ipapashwe kwiwebhusayithi yoVimba woKhuseleko lweSizwe.
Emva kokwandisa iMpuma Yurophu kunye nokulwa iimfazwe e-Afghanistan naseLibya, i-NATO iqikelele ukuba ize isangqa esipheleleyo ukuze iphinde ijonge iRussia njengotshaba lwayo oluphambili. Izixhobo zenyukliya zase-US ngoku zisekelwe kumazwe amahlanu e-NATO eYurophu: eJamani, eItali, eNetherlands, eBelgium naseTurkey, ngelixa iFransi ne-UK sele zinezixhobo zazo zenyukliya. Iinkqubo zase-US "zokukhusela imijukujelwa", ezinokuguqulwa zibe yimijukujelwa yenyukliya ekhubekisayo, zisekelwe ePoland naseRomania, kuquka isiseko ePoland kuphela iikhilomitha ezili-100 ukusuka kumda waseRashiya.
Omnye umRashiya isicelo kwisindululo sayo sikaDisemba yayikukuba i-United States ivele iphinde ijoyine i-1988 ISivumelwano se-INF (ISivumelwano seMikhosi yeNyukliya yoLuhlu oluPhakathi), apho omabini amacala avumelene ukuba angayisebenzisi imijukujelwa yenyukliya yoluhlu olufutshane okanye oluphakathi eYurophu. UTrump warhoxa kwisivumelwano ngo-2019 ngokucetyiswa nguMcebisi wakhe wezoKhuseleko lweSizwe, uJohn Bolton, naye onentloko ye-1972. ISivumelwano se-ABM, I2015 Ukwandiswa kwe-JCPOA kunye ne-Iran kunye ne-1994 Isakhelo esiVunyiweyo kunye neNorth Korea ejinga kwibhanti yakhe yompu.
Akukho nanye kwezi zinto ezinokuthethelela ukuhlasela kweRashiya eUkraine, kodwa ihlabathi kufuneka liyithathele phezulu iRashiya xa isithi iimeko zayo zokuphelisa imfazwe nokubuyela kuzakuzo kukungathathi cala kwe-Ukraine nokuthotywa kwezixhobo. Ngelixa kungekho lizwe linokulindelwa ukuba likhuphe izixhobo ngokupheleleyo kwihlabathi lanamhlanje elixhobileyo ukuya kwamazinyo, ukungathathi cala kunokuba lukhetho olunzima lwexesha elide eUkraine.
Kukho imizekelo emininzi eyimpumelelo, njengeSwitzerland, iOstriya, iIreland, iFinland kunye neCosta Rica. Okanye thatha imeko yaseVietnam. Inomda oqhelekileyo kunye neengxabano ezinzulu zaselwandle kunye ne-China, kodwa iVietnam iye yaxhathisa iinzame zase-US zokuyibandakanya kwiMfazwe ebandayo kunye ne-China, kwaye ihlala izibophelele kwixesha layo elide. “Iinombolo ezine” umgaqo-nkqubo: akukho zivumelwano zomkhosi; akukho kuzimanya nelinye ilizwe ngokuchasene nelinye; akukho ziseko zomkhosi zangaphandle; kwaye akukho zoyikiso okanye ukusetyenziswa kwamandla.
Ihlabathi kufuneka lenze nantoni na efunekayo ukufumana ukupheliswa kwemfazwe eUkraine kwaye yenze ukuba ibambelele. Mhlawumbi uNobhala Jikelele we-UN uGuterres okanye ummeli okhethekileyo we-UN unokwenza njengomlamli, mhlawumbi ngendima yokugcina uxolo kwi-UN. Oku akuyi kuba lula - enye yezifundo ezingekafundiwe kwezinye iimfazwe kukuba kulula ukukhusela imfazwe ngokusebenzisa i-diplomacy enzulu kunye nokuzinikela okunyanisekileyo kuxolo kunokuphelisa imfazwe xa sele iqalile.
Ukuba kwaye xa kukho ukupheliswa komlilo, onke amaqela kufuneka alungele ukuqala ngokutsha ukuthetha-thethana ngezisombululo zezozakuzaku eziya kuvumela bonke abantu baseDonbas, eUkraine, eRussia, eUnited States kunye namanye amalungu e-NATO ukuba aphile ngoxolo. Ukhuseleko asingomdlalo we-zero-sum, kwaye akukho lizwe okanye iqela lamazwe linokufikelela ukhuseleko oluhlala luhleli ngokujongela phantsi ukhuseleko lwabanye.
I-United States kunye neRashiya kufuneka ekugqibeleni bathathe uxanduva oluza kunye nokugcinwa kwezixhobo zenyukliya ezingaphezulu kwe-90%, kwaye zivumelane ngesicwangciso sokuqalisa ukuzidiliza, ngokuthobela iSivumelwano sokuNgena-Proliferation (I-NPT) kunye neSivumelwano esitsha se-UN sokuThintelwa kwezixhobo zeNyukliya (I-TPNW).
Okokugqibela, njengoko abantu baseMelika begxeka ubundlongondlongo baseRussia, iya kuba ngumfuziselo wohanahaniso ukulibala okanye ukungahoyi iimfazwe ezininzi zamva nje apho iUnited States kunye namahlakani ayo bebengabo abahlaseli: Kosovo, Afghanistani , Irakh, Haiti, Somaliya, Palestina, Phakistan, Libhiya, Siriya kwaye Yemen.
Sithemba ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba iRussia iya kukuphelisa ngokungekho mthethweni, ukuhlasela okukhohlakeleyo kwe-Ukraine kwakudala ngaphambi kokuba yenze iqhezu lokubulala kunye nokutshabalalisa okukhulu okwenziwe yi-United States kwiimfazwe zayo ezingekho mthethweni.
