Xa uNancy Pelosi noMitch McConnell behlangene ukuba bameme uNobhala Jikelele we-NATO uJens Stoltenberg ukujongana neseshoni edibeneyo yeCongress, banesizathu sokulindela ukuba intetho ye-3 ye-Aprili ibe yinto enkulu yokulwa nabameli be-media ne-politiki yase-US. Ukusekwa kusondele ukuqinisekiswa ubungcwele bexhasano lomkhosi we-transatlantic.
Intlonipho enkulu ye-NATO ihambelana nokuba yingozi kangakanani i-NATO. Ukwandiswa okuqhubekayo kwe-NATO - yonke indlela eya kwimida yaseRashiya - iwandise kakhulu amathuba okuba amazwe amabini anamandla enyukliya ehlabathi angenele ungquzulwano oluthe ngqo lomkhosi.
Kodwa eUnited States, xa kukho umntu ocelomngeni ukunyuka okuqhubekayo kwe-NATO, i-innuendos okanye i-smears ngqo.
Kwiminyaka emibili edlulileyo, xa i-Senate ixubusha ukuba ingavumelekile ukuzisa i-Montenegro kwi-NATO, udaka lwafika kwiSen. IRandi uPawulos waseKentucky emva kokubonisa into. Unomsindo uSen McCain wathi kumgangatho weSenate: "Andiyazi ukuba kutheni nabani na enokuchasa oku, ngaphandle kokuba ndiza kuthi-ukuba bayachasa, ngoku benza iminqweno kunye namabhongo kaVladimir Putin, kwaye andiyithethi loo nto ngokukhawuleza."
Kamva kamva, xa uPawulos wathi "ndiyichasa," uMcCain wamemezela: "Inkokheli yaseKentucky isebenza ngokusesikweni kuVladimir Putin."
Ngaloo mazwi, uMcCain udlulisele impambano eqhelekileyo yokuhlonela i-NATO - kunye nokunganyamezeli okuqhelekileyo kuyo nayiphi na into enokuthi ifikelele kwingxoxo-mpikiswano malunga nokuba luluvo olulungileyo na ukuqhubeka nokwandisa umanyano lomkhosi olukhokelwa yiMelika, ukutyhala iRussia ibe yindawo ikona. Ukwenza oku kuyaqondakala ukuba kujongwa eRashiya njengesisongelo esibi. (Khawube nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wemanyano yasemkhosini ekhokelwa yiRashiya isiya eKhanada naseMexico, igcwele ezinye zeenkqubo ezijulwayo kwiplanethi.)
Ukusukela ekuweni koDonga lwaseBerlin - kwaye ngokukhawuleza phukile thembiso urhulumente waseUnited States ngo-1990 ukuba i-NATO iya kuhamba "hayi enye intshi ukuya ngasempuma" - i-NATO ibivala imida yaseRashiya ngelixa izisa isizwe esinye emva kwesinye kubulungu obupheleleyo bomkhosi. Kwiminyaka engamashumi amathathu edlulileyo, i-NATO yongeze amazwe ali-13 - kwaye ayikakwenziwa okwangoku.
Amalungu e-NATO "achaze ngokucacileyo ukuba iGeorgia iya kuba ilungu le-NATO," iStoltenberg utsho Kwiintsuku ezidlulileyo xa si tyelela i-capital yaseGeorgia yaseTbilisi. Wongeza ngelithi: "Siza kuqhubeka sisebenza kunye ukulungiselela ubulungu base-Georgia be-NATO." Ngokwenqanaba elungileyo, iStoltenberg tweeted nge-25 kaMatshi ukuba "wayechulumancile kukubona umthambo odibeneyo we-NATO-Georgia" kwaye "uwongekile ukudibana namagqala kunye namajoni akhonzayo," wongeza ukuba "iGeorgia liqabane elahlukileyo le- #NATO kwaye songeza intsebenziswano yethu."
Amalungu ambalwa kwiCongress angavakala ekuphakanyeleni nayiphi na inkxalabo enjalo ukwandiswa okungenangqondo. I-Senate ingundoqo, ngokuba ukongeza ilizwe kwi-NATO yobulungu kufuneka ivume iSenate.
Oogxa bam kwi RootsAction.org sele baqalise mkhankaso we email kulo mbandela. Kulo lonke urhulumente, abantu baqhagamshelana nabasenateri zabo ngee-imeyile ezibongoza ukuba bachase ukunyusa kwe-NATO. Uxinzelelo olunjalo lufuna ukunyuka.
Kodwa ukuphembelela yinxalenye nje yezinto ezifunekayo. Njengoko i-NATO ibonisa isikhumbuzo se-70 kwiveki ezayo kunye nemisebenzi emininzi - kuquka i-White House eyamkelekileyo e-Stoltenberg ngoLwesibini, intetho yakhe kwiCongress ngosuku olulandelayo kunye "nombhiyozo" osemthethweni ngo-Aprili 4 - izenzo ezichaseneyo ezibandakanyaamaqonga kunye nezibhikiso njengengxenye ye "Hayi ku-NATO" iveki iya kwenzeka eWashington.
A mazwi ukususela kule phulo ithi "i-NATO kunye nehlabathi elilungileyo, elinoxolo nelizinzileyo alihambelani .... Kuyinto engekho yobulungisa, ingabonakaliyo, inobundlobongela nobudlova ukuzama ukuloba ihlabathi ukuze kuzuze abantu abambalwa. "Ukuhlolwa okunjalo kwe-NATO kweli lizwe kunzima kakhulu ukuxhaswa okuza kubakho kwiimidiya ezixakekileyo kwiveki ezayo.
Isigqibo seTrump sokugqitywa umfaki obomvu weNdlu ye-White House kubhala unobhala jikelele we-NATO iyahambelana nezenzo zokuphatha ngexesha leminyaka emibini edlulileyo. Amanqaku emidiya ekulungiselela ngamazwi athile afudumele avela eTrump malunga noMongameli waseRussia uVladimir Putin uye wakhupha iingcamango ukuba iTump ayifuni imigaqo-nkqubo yokulwa neRussia enobudlova.
Nangona abaninzi bezopolitiko beDemokhrasi kunye nezikhulu zoovimba be-US baye baveza iTrump njengothambileyo eRashiya kwaye bengavumelekanga kwi-Western militarism, loo mabango ayifuni kwiinyaniso. I-Trump kunye namagosa akhe aphezulu aqinisekisile ukuzibophezela kwi-NATO, ngelixa iipolisi zayo jikelele (ukuba akusoloko ziyimpendulo yakhe) ziye zatshathisa ingozi kwiRashiya.
Kwi-imeyile yomyalezo kwi-DC indawo ekukhuthazeni ukuthatha inxaxheba kwi "Hayi ku-NATO"Iziganeko ezizayo ngeveki, uRootsAction wathi:" Iqonga liye laxosha abadibanisi baseRussia, abagwetyelwe ngamagosa aseRashiya, bafaka imikhosi ngokusemthethweni kwimida yaseRashiya, bathumela izixhobo e-Ukraine, bacela ukuba amazwe aseYurophu ayeke amajelo aseRussia, ashiye isivumelwano se-Iran, adilize i-INF Umnqophiso, wenqatshelwe iRashiya ngokunikezelwa kwezixhobo kwi-space kunye nokuvinjelwa kwe-cyberwar, i-NATO eyandisiwe ngasempuma, yongeze iqabane le-NATO eColombia, iphakanyisiwe yokongeza iBrazil, yafuna kwaye yathintela ngokuphumelelayo amalungu amaninzi e-NATO ukuba athenge izixhobo ezikhulu kakhulu, ahlambuluke kwiimpawu ezininzi, ahlasele iRussia ESiriya, lijongene neyona nto imfazwe enkulu kwiYurophu kwiminyaka engama-70, yalahla zonke iziphakamiso zezempi zaseYurophu kwaye yafuna ukuba iYurophu inamathele kwi-NATO. "
Xa uNobhala Jikelele we-NATO uStoltenberg enikela intetho yakhe kumalungu ahlanganiseneyo eNkongolo ngoLwesithathu ozayo, unokuthembela kuSomlomo weNdlu kunye neNkokeli enkulu yeSenate ukuba ibe emva kwakhe. Inzondelelo ye-bipartisan iya kubonakala - kumbulelo kwinkcubeko yezopolitiko enenzuzo enkulu kwabambalwa, ngelixa. ziwonakalisa kakhulu kwiindlela ezininzi. Imfundo yoluntu kuphela, i-activism, imibhikisho kunye nobuninzi bezopolitiko ezinokubakho ukuphazamisa nokuphelisa ukuxhaswa kwe-NATO eWashington.
