Kufanele ukuba kube lula. Vula ivault yebhanki, susa abathengisi bezixhobo, vala ivault yebhanki. Enyanisweni, sifuna itoni yezixhobo, umsebenzi kunye nethamsanqa.
Ngokwemeko yedola rhoqo, emva kweKorea, iVietnam, ixesha lesibini likaReagan, kunye nekota yokuqala ka-Obama inkcitho yasemkhosini yase-US yehla, ayizange ide yenyuka. Ngoko ke, ukuphelisa iimfazwe, kuquka iiMfazwe Ezibandayo, kunokunceda.
Ngoku sinemfazwe eqhubekayo apho ukuthatha inxaxheba kwe-US kuqondwa njengeyona nto ichitha imali. Ukuphelisa loo nkcitho kunokwandiswa ekunciphiseni inkcitho yasemkhosini ngokubanzi.
Nge-Afghanistan kunye ne-Iraq kuthathe unyaka onesiqingatha umntu ngamnye ukufumana uninzi oluhle lwase-US kuvoto lusithi iimfazwe azizange ziqalwe. Imfazwe yaseUkraine ibonakala ikwindlela enye. Ewe, abo bakholelwa ukuba iimfazwe bekungafanele ziqalwe, abazange, ubukhulu becala, bakholelwe ukuba kufuneka bapheliswe. Iimfazwe kwakufuneka ziqhutyelwe phambili ngenxa yemikhosi, nokuba amajoni okwenene ayexelela abavoti ukuba bafuna ukuba iimfazwe ziphele. Ithemba lam kukuba inkcaso yase-US kwimfazwe yase-Ukraine inokukhula ngokungabikho kwepropaganda ye-troopist, njengoko imikhosi yase-US ingabandakanyekanga ngamanani amaninzi kwaye ayifanele ukuba ibandakanyeke kuyo yonke into.
Sikwanayo nemithombo yeendaba yase-US ejonge ngasemva, eneembonakalo ezithile zokunyaniseka apha naphaya, kwi-20 okanye iminyaka emininzi yenkcitho eyintlekele yemfazwe. Ezinye zezo mfazwe sele ziphelisiwe ngaphandle kokuncitshiswa okufanelekileyo kwenkcitho yasemkhosini. Singabonisa ukuba inkcitho yasemkhosini yase-US ngoku imalunga nokuphindwe kabini kwinto ebiyiyo kwi-2000.
Singaphinda sibonise ukuba iPlatform yeDemocratic Party ka-2020 yathembisa into esiyifunayo, kwaye ukuba xa sele enyule uBiden kunye neeDemokhrasi benza ngokuchaseneyo noko babekuthembisile. Elo qonga libotshelelwe ukunciphisa inkcitho yasemkhosini ukuphelisa iimfazwe zase-Afghanistan naseYemen. Baye bagqiba enye yezo kwaye benza ngathi baphelisa enye, ngelixa besandisa inkcitho yasemkhosini. Okwenyani ukuphelisa imfazwe eYemen ngeSigqibo saMagunya eMfazwe kunokusinceda ukuba sinciphise inkcitho yasemkhosini - hayi ukuba ukuphelisa imfazwe kulula. Kodwa kukho intshukumo esebenzayo esebenzayo kuyo, kwaye umnxeba wokusondeza kulo Mgqibelo malunga nawo kunye namaLungu eNkongolo alindeleke ukuba athathe inxaxheba.
Abantu ngokubanzi babambe ukuba xa ibhanki okanye iqumrhu okanye ubhubhani wesifo ochaphazela abantu abazizityebi ufuna imali, umntu uvele azenzele imali engenamkhawulo ngaphandle kwandawo. Ke imfuno yethu eqhubekayo yokuba inkcitho yasemkhosini yehle ukuze inkcitho yabantu kunye neyendalo inyuke inokuba ncinci. Sisenokuba sizinika imisebenzi emibini enzima kakhulu kunokuba senze omnye ube lula. Ukuba urhulumente waseUnited States ebekulungele ukuxhasa ngemali imfundo okanye izindlu okanye indalo, ebeya kwenjenjalo. Ukunciphisa inkcitho yasemkhosini bekungayi kuyinyanzela ukuba yenze njalo. Ndiphetha ngelithi akufuneki sibaleke kulo lonke uthelekiso oluqhelekileyo lwento esinokuthi siyifumane kwinto echithwe emkhosini, okanye ekuthelekiseni umkhosi wase-US kunye nowamanye amazwe, kodwa kunokubakho enye into ebaluleke ngakumbi.
Ndithetha ububi bemfazwe. Ityala lokuziphatha elichasene nemfazwe, kunye nenkcitho eyenza iimfazwe ezininzi. Xa sijonga emva kwimizamo yethu yokuphelisa imfazwe e-Iraq, asizange sizame ngokwenene ukufundisa uluntu ukuba iimfazwe zanamhlanje kukubulala icala elinye. Inyani yokuba ngaphezulu kwe-90% yokusweleka kwabantu baseIraq ayizange igqitywe, okanye inyani yokuba bebengalingani abantu abadala nabancinci, nokuba iimfazwe ziyaliwa kwiidolophu zabantu hayi kumadabi enkulungwane ye-19. Namhlanje awona maLungu eNkongolo abalaseleyo aya kukuxelela ukuba imfazwe yayiyimpazamo kwaye ixabisa imali njalo njalo. Kodwa umfanekiso nje kwisikali esincinci ubulala iqela labamelwane bakho kwaye uthi ibiyimpazamo kwaye uyaxolisa ukuba iimbumbulu zibiza kakhulu, nangona uthenga iimbumbulu kabini ngosuku. Ingongoma yokufundisa abantu ukuziphatha okubi kwemfazwe asikokuziva mnandi okanye ukumenza umntu azive kakubi, kodwa kukuhlanganisa isenzo. Abantu bayakhathala. Abantu baya kwenza kwaye baxhase ngemali imizamo yokunceda abantu abangabaziyo abakude ukuba umntu ubaxelele ngesidingo.
Nantsi indlela inkcitho yasemkhosini eye yahamba ngayo amaxesha ambalwa adlulileyo. Umnumzana Biden ucebisa ukonyuka okukhulu kwenkcitho yasemkhosini- ngaphezulu nangaphaya kokubini oko wayekucebise kunyaka ongaphambili kunye nento eyanyuswa yiCongress.
Amajelo eendaba ahlangeneyo anika ingxelo ngesindululo sohlahlo lwabiwo-mali ikakhulu ngokungathi into enye ethatha ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sayo ayikho. Akukho mntu ubuzelwa isindululo sohlahlo lwabiwo-mali olukhethiweyo, njengokuba kungekho mongameli okanye amalungu enkongolo. Iinyaniso ezisisiseko ezifunyaniswa kwitshati yephayi zigcinwa ziyimfihlo kubantu abaninzi.
Iidemokhrasi zeZero zichasa okanye zikhuthaze Akukho voti okanye izisongelo zokubanjwa kwevoti okanye zitsho ukuba ziya kuvota ngokwabo iNombolo (Kodwa i-Congressional "Progressive" Caucus ipapasha into ebizwa ngokuba "umchazi" enezivakalisi ezithathu ekugqibeleni ezichasa ngokungacacanga.)
ICongress, kunye namaRiphabhlikhi ekhokelayo, iphakamisa ukwanda okukhulu ngaphezulu kokunyuka okukhulu kweBiden.
Iidemokhrasi “eziqhubela phambili” ziyakhalaza malunga nokonyuka kweRiphabhlikhi, zicebisa ngokutyeshela ukuba ibilulwando kuphela.
Kodwa, iidemokhrasi ezizii-zero ziyachasa okanye zikhuthaze ukuba akukho voti okanye izoyikiso zokubamba ukuvota okanye zitsho ukuba zizovota buqu hayi (inye kuphela into endiyaziyo ukuba yayikwiSenethi unyaka omnye, ingeyiyo iDemocrat ncam: uBernie Sanders wayekhe wathi uya kuvota. Hayi).
Umthetho oyilwayo uzipasisa zombini ezi zindlu kwaye usayinwe ukuba ube ngumthetho.
Iidemokhrasi “eziqhubela phambili” zixelela abantu ukuba bavote hayi, kwaye ngaphezu koko baxhase abantu ngaphaya koMthetho wePentagon.
Kodwa leyo yibhili yokunciphisa inkcitho yasemkhosini eye yadlula eluphahleni kule minyaka idlulileyo bebecebisa elo tyala, ibhili engayi kudlula kwiNdlu kodwa ukuba bekunjalo bekuya kufuneka kudlule kwiSenethi kunye noMongameli. , kwaye ke inkcitho yasemkhosini inokunyuswa nje nge-100b yeedola ethe yancitshiswa.
Ukuba iLungu leCongress okanye i-caucus yalo yayinzulu, baya kwenza oko i-Progressive Caucus yenza ukuchasana ne-oyile engcolileyo yaseManchin. Bazibambile iivoti zabo kwivoti yenkqubo yeDemokhrasi kuphela yokuzisa umthetho oyilwayo phantsi ngaphandle kokuba isivumelwano sishiywe ngaphandle. Bayifumana le nto babeyifuna. Kodwa loo mthetho uyilwayo ibingumthetho wogunyaziso lomkhosi walo nyaka uphelileyo. Abazange nakanye baququzelele kwaye babambe iivoti zabo ukunciphisa inkcitho yasemkhosini. Oku kufanele kube yimfuno yethu ephambili kubo:
Ngaba uya kuthetha ngesidingo sokuba oogxa bakho badibane nawe ekuvoteni Hayi kwinkcitho yasemkhosini ngaphandle kokuba kuncitshiswe kakhulu - ukwenza njalo kuzo zonke iivoti ezifanelekileyo, nokuba ulindele ukuphumelela, kodwa nokuba unako?
I-Caucus yaMalungu eNkongolo kwiNdlu enye inokutshintsha umgaqo-nkqubo ngokubamba iivoti - kuxhomekeke ukuba bangaphi na, bangaphi abavoti, kwaye yintoni amanye amalungu avota kunye nabo ngezizathu zabo - kwaye andikwenzi. cinga ukuba Amalungu amaninzi eNkongolo akholelwa ukuba uninzi lwabavoti bawo bayayazi loo nto.
Ngaba banokubeka esichengeni sokuyenza ibe mandundu? Imbi ngakumbi kunenkqubo yangoku yokutshabalalisa bonke ubomi eMhlabeni? Mhlawumbi. Kodwa bangenza umzamo wokwenyani kwaye siza kubona ukuba ngubani okwenzileyo, kwaye ngubani ongawenzanga kwaye odinga uxinzelelo.
Ilungu elinye leNkongolo linokunyanzela ingxoxo ekhawulezayo kwaye livote ekupheliseni imfazwe, efana neYemen okanye iSyria. Ndiyazi ukuba uninzi lwaMalungu eNkongolo aqinisekile ukuba abavoti babo abazange bayive loo nto. Akukho namnye udemokhrasi othethe ukuxhasa isigqibo samva nje sokuphelisa ukufudumala kwe-US eSyria. Bangaphi kubo abavileyo kuthi ukuba sifuna ukuba imfazwe iphele, imikhosi iziswe ekhaya, imikhosi iziswe ekhaya ivela kuyo yonke indawo, iziseko zangaphandle zivaliwe, kunye nenkcitho yasemkhosini incitshisiwe?
Obona buxoki bamajelo eendaba malunga nenkcitho yasemkhosini kukutyeshela. Umsebenzi wethu kukulenza ibali.
Obona buxoki bukhulu bamajelo eendaba kukungabi namandla. Isizathu sokuba urhulumente enze iintlola kwaye aphazamise kwaye anyanzelise ubutshantliziyo ayisikuko ukuba ngathi akahoyanga kubutsha ntliziyo kuyinyani, okwahlukileyo koko. Oorhulumente banikela ingqalelo engakumbi. Bayazi kakuhle into yokuba abanakuqhubeka ukuba sibamba imvume yethu. Amajelo eendaba rhoqo atyhala ukuba ahlale phantsi okanye akhale okanye athenge okanye alinde unyulo kukho isizathu. Isizathu sikukuba abantu banamandla angaphezulu lee kunokuba umntu ngamnye onamandla angathanda ukuba bazi. Kodwa sinayo kuphela ukuba siyayisebenzisa.
Nantsi ividiyo:
yokuzonwabisa nguCODEPINK
UMongameli uBiden ucebise irekhodi le-886 yeebhiliyoni zebhajethi yezempi ye-2024. Olu hlahlo lwabiwo-mali lubandakanya i-$ 170 yezigidigidi zeebhombu ezintsha, imijukujelwa ye-intercontinental ballistic kunye ne-missile submarines; I-30 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zokukhusela i-missile, i-11 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zezixhobo ze-hypersonic kunye nemijukujelwa yoluhlu olude; I-13.5 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwimisebenzi ye-cyber, njl. -kwaye oku akubandakanyi ne-$ $$ yokuxhasa imfazwe e-Ukraine! Sijoyine njengoko sichitha uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lomkhosi kwaye sihlolisise amathuba okuchasa ezi nkqubo zezixhobo. Ukongeza kokuphonononga uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali njengoxwebhu lokuziphatha, siya kufunda kwakhona malunga ne-CODEPINK's Ground i-F-35 iphulo kunye nendlela i-F-35 Coalition eyakha ngayo intshukumo yokulwa nemfazwe njengoko icwangcisa imibhikisho. I-CODEPINK iya kubamba iGround yezenzo ze-F-35 kwisiXeko saseNew York, eChicago, eNova Scotia, eWashington DC, eMadison, ePhiladelphia, eBurlington, eBay Area, eMassachusetts naseSeattle ukuze ifune iCongress ibuyise imali ye-F-35 fighter jet, ekwaziyo ukuthwala zombini. izixhobo eziqhelekileyo kunye nezenyukliya.
