Ngo-2019, i-RAND Corporation intente ye-US Military Industrial Congress "Intelligence" Media Academic "Cinga" iTanki Complex. papashwe ingxelo abathi “benze uvavanyo lomgangatho ‘wokhetho olunexabiso elikhulu’ olunokungalingani kwaye lwandise kakhulu iRashiya.”
Nantsi enye “yeendlela ezibiza iindleko,” uMongameli wase-US uBarack Obama wayesala, kodwa ngo-2019, iRAND yayilungiselela utshintsho lolawulo ekhaya: “Ukubonelela ngoncedo olubulalayo eUkraine.”
Ukwenjenjalo, iRAND yathi, “kuya kuxhaphaza eyona ndawo yaseRashiya yokuba sesichengeni sangaphandle. Kodwa nakuphi na ukonyuka kwezixhobo zomkhosi wase-US kunye neengcebiso eziya e-Ukraine kuya kufuneka ukuba zilungelelaniswe ngononophelo ukuze konyuswe iindleko eRussia zokugcina ukuzibophelela kwayo ngaphandle kokuxhokonxa ungquzulwano olubanzi apho iRussia, ngenxa yokusondela, iya kuba neenzuzo ezinkulu. ”
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ulungelelwaniso lubonakala lulungile, njengoko “ungquzulwano olubanzi kakhulu” alukenzeki. Kodwa amaLungu eNkongolo/ePalamente, abathengisi bezixhobo, kunye nababukeleyo abanomdla bayayityhala e-United States, kwezinye izizwe ze-NATO, naseRashiya. Ingcinga yokukwazi “ukulinganisa” ngokufanelekileyo ezi zinto iye yachaswa kangangezihlandlo ezingamawaka. Ikratshi elenyanyekayo lengxelo ye-RAND ecebisa ukonyuka komkhosi kunye nezoyikiso zenyukliya eRussia kubonisa indlela abantu abangaboniyo abanokuba ngayo kumngcipheko abawenzayo.
Ke, ewe, kuyamangalisa ukuba nemithombo yeendaba yase-US ngequbuliso ngokuchasene nemfazwe kunye nokuxhasa uqhanqalazo, kunye novelwano namaxhoba. Omnye unokucinga ukuba imidiya yase-US ayinakukwazi ukwenza izinto ezinjalo emva kwayo yonke le minyaka kunye nazo zonke ezi mfazwe. Kodwa khumbula ukuba ingxelo evakalayo “yeendlela ezibiza imali eninzi” yayilicebo lokubeka esichengeni ukubulawa kwabantwana abancinane eUkraine.
Kwaye, ewe, izigebenga eziqhuba urhulumente waseRashiya kunye nomkhosi, ngokumangalisayo ngokwaneleyo, zijongene nobugebengu babo.
Urhulumente wase-Ukraine okhetha ukudibana nobundlobongela ngobundlobongela, emva kokuba eqalise kakhulu ukwanda kobundlobongela eDonbass kwiveki ephelileyo, unoxanduva lwaloo nto.
Kodwa amanyathelo urhulumente wase-US, urhulumente wase-Ukraine, kunye namahlakani e-NATO awathathayo kwiinyanga zamva nje, iminyaka, kunye namashumi eminyaka ukufikelela kweli nqanaba, ukwala ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezifanelekileyo zaseRussia, ukulwa okuhlala kusanda - abo rhulumente bahlala benoxanduva nazo ezo zinto.
Ingxelo ye-RAND yayinethemba loqhanqalazo olungenabundlobongela eRashiya. Into yokuba abantu baseRussia ngoku beqhankqalaza kurhulumente wabo ngenxa yenkohlakalo yabo yamva nje benza le nto i-RAND inethemba layo ayithethi ukuba benza into engalunganga. Kuthetha nje ukulumkela ukuguqulwa kwesiphumo.
Ukuba urhulumente wase-US unako ukuququzelela ubhukuqo-mbuso e-Kyiv ngo-2014, apho abantu abaqhelekileyo nabo babenazo-njengoko bahlala besenza-izikhalazo ezisemthethweni, kwaye ke ukucima loo mbali phantse yonke kwiminyaka esibhozo, ngoko ke unako ukucwangcisa isiphumo sohlaziyo lwaseRashiya, into eyazama ngayo kodwa ayizange iphumelele ngowe-1919 yaye ibisoloko izama ukususela ngoko—enye into eye yacinywa ngokufanelekileyo kwiincwadi zembali.
