Kwiintsuku ezine emva kokuba iRashiya ihlasele iUkraine ngokungekho mthethweni, umongameli weKhomishini yaseYurophu u-Ursula von der Leyen umemezele ukuba "okokuqala ngqa", i-EU "iza kuxhasa ngemali ukuthengwa nokuhanjiswa kwezixhobo ... kwilizwe elihlaselwayo". Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambilana, wayenayo wathi I-EU ibe "yimanyano enye, imanyano enye" kunye ne-NATO.
Ngokungafaniyo ne-NATO, i-EU ayingomanyano lomkhosi. Ukanti, kwasekuqaleni kwale mfazwe, ibisoloko ixhalabele imfazwe kunozakuzo. Oku kwakungalindelekanga.
The ISivumelwano saseLisbon ibonelele ngesiseko esisemthethweni se-EU ukuphuhlisa umgaqo-nkqubo ofanayo wokhuseleko kunye nokhuseleko. Phakathi kuka-2014 kunye no-2020, enye i-25.6bn ye-EUR yemali yoluntu ye-EU yachithwa ukuqinisa amandla ayo emkhosini. Uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali luka-2021-27 lusekwe a INgxowa-mali yoKhuselo yaseYurophu (EDF) ephantse ibe yi-8bn ye-euro, imodeli kwiinkqubo ezimbini ze-precursor, ezithe okokuqala zanikezela ngenkxaso-mali ye-EU kuphando kunye nophuhliso lwezixhobo ezintsha zomkhosi, kubandakanywa iingalo eziphikisana kakhulu ezixhomekeke kubukrelekrele bokwenziwa okanye iinkqubo ezizenzekelayo. I-EDF yinkalo enye yohlahlo lwabiwo-mali olubanzi lokhuselo.
Inkcitho ye-EU ibonisa indlela echonga ngayo njengeprojekthi yezopolitiko kunye nalapho izinto eziphambili zilele khona. Kwiminyaka elishumi edluleyo, iingxaki zobupolitika nezentlalo ziye zasingathwa ngokwandayo kwezomkhosi. Ukususwa kwemishini yokunceda abantu kwiMeditera, endaweni yayo ziidrones zokucupha ubuchwephesha obuphezulu kwaye kukhokelela ekubeni Ngama-20,000 abantu abarhaxwayo ukususela ngo-2013, ngumzekelo nje omnye. Ekukhetheni ukuxhasa impi, iYurophu iqhube ugqatso lwezixhobo kwaye yalungisa isiseko semfazwe.
Usekela-mongameli we-EC kunye nommeli ophezulu wemicimbi yangaphandle kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo wokhuseleko uJosep Borrell wathi Emva kohlaselo lwaseRashiya: "Enye into engathandekiyo ... kukuba iManyano yaseYurophu yayinganikeli izixhobo emfazweni." U-Borrell uqinisekisile ukuba izixhobo ezibulalayo ziya kuthunyelwa kwindawo yemfazwe, exhaswa ngemali yi-EU Indawo yoXolo. Imfazwe, kubonakala ngathi, ngokwenene uxolo, njengoko uGeorge Orwell wabhengeza kwi-'1984 '.
Izenzo ze-EU azipheleli nje ngokugqithisileyo, kodwa zikwabonisa ukunqongophala kokucinga ngokuyilayo. Ngaba oku ngokunyaniseka yeyona nto ilungileyo i-EU enokuyenza ngexesha lobunzima? Ukuya kumjelo € 500m ngezixhobo ezibulalayo kwilizwe elinezixhobo zenyukliya ezili-15, apho abemi ababizelwe emkhosini kufuneka balwe ngazo zonke iindlela abanazo, apho abantwana belungiselela iimolotov cocktails, nalapho icala elichasayo libeke amandla alo okuthintela inyukliya ephapheme kakhulu? Ukumema umkhosi waseUkraine ukuba ungenise uluhlu lwezixhobo ezinqwenelekayo kuya kuphembelela amadangatye emfazwe kuphela.
Ukuchasa okungekho bundlobongela
Iminxeba evela kurhulumente wase-Ukraine kunye nabantu bayo malunga nezixhobo iyaqondakala kwaye kunzima ukuyihoya. Kodwa ekugqibeleni, iingalo zihlala zandisa kwaye zandisa ungquzulwano. I-Ukraine inomzekelo oqinileyo wokuchasana nobundlobongela, kuquka Orange Revolution ye2004 kunye Maidan Revolution ka-2013-14, kwaye sele kukho izenzo ze ukungabi nabundlobongela, ukuchasa uluntu olwenzeka kwilizwe liphela ukuphendula olu hlaselo. Ezi zenzo kufuneka zamkelwe kwaye zixhaswe yi-EU, ethe yajolisa ngokuphambili ingqalelo kukhuselo lomkhosi.
Imbali ibonise amaxesha ngamaxesha ukuba ukugalela izixhobo kwiimeko zongquzulwano akuzinzisi uzinzo kwaye akuyomfuneko ukuba kube negalelo ekuxhathiseni okusebenzayo. Ngo-2017, i-US yathumela izixhobo ezenziwe eYurophu e-Iraq ukuba zilwe ne-ISIS, kuphela ezo ngalo zifanayo. ziphelele ezandleni zabalwi be-IS kwidabi laseMosul. Izixhobo ezibonelelwe yinkampani yaseJamani kumapolisa aseMexico awela ezandleni zamapolisa kamasipala kunye neqela lemigulukudu yolwaphulo-mthetho eGuerrero State kwaye zasetyenziswa ekubulaleni abantu abathandathu kunye nokunyamalala ngenkani kwabafundi abangama-43 kwityala elaziwa ngokuba yiAyotzinapa. Ukulandela ukurhoxiswa okuyintlekele kwemikhosi yase-US e-Afghanistan ngo-Agasti ka-2021, inani elibalulekileyo lobuchwephesha obuphezulu. Impahla yase-US yabanjwa yiTaliban, kubandakanywa iihelicopter zomkhosi, iinqwelomoya, kunye nezinye izixhobo ezivela kwibhokisi yemfazwe yase-US.
Imbali iye yabonisa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba ukugalelana ngezixhobo kwiimeko zongquzulwano akuzinzisi uzinzo
Kukho intaphane yemizekelo efanayo apho izixhobo zenzelwe injongo enye zize ekugqibeleni zisetyenziswe kwenye. I-Ukraine iya kuthi, kwiwotshi yaseYurophu, ibe yimeko elandelayo kwinqanaba. Ngaphezu koko, iingalo ziphila ixesha elide. Ezi zixhobo ziya kutshintsha izandla amaxesha amaninzi kwiminyaka ezayo, ziqhubela phambili ungquzulwano.
Oku kukungakhathali ngakumbi xa ujonga ixesha - ngelixa abameli be-EU babehlangene eBrussels, oorhulumente baseRussia nabaseUkraine babedibana kwiingxoxo zoxolo eBelarus. Emva koko, i-EU umemezele ukuba iya kusikhawulezisa isicelo se-Ukraine sobulungu be-EU, inyathelo elingaxhokonxi eRashiya kuphela, kodwa kumazwe ahlukeneyo eBalkan ebesoloko ezalisekisa iimfuneko zokungena ngenkuthalo kangangeminyaka.
Ukuba bekukho ithemba loxolo ngeCawe kusasa, kutheni le nto i-EU ingazange icele ukuba kupheliswe umlilo kwangoko kwaye ikhuthaze i-NATO ukuba yehlise ubukho bayo malunga neUkraine? Kwakutheni ukuze ijongele phantsi iingxoxo zoxolo ngokujija izihlunu zayo zomkhosi kwaye iphumeze igunya lomkhosi?
Lo 'mzuzu wamanzi' yincopho yeminyaka ye ukuphembelela iinkampani ngoshishino lwezixhobo, oluzibeke ngokweqhinga kuqala njengengcaphephe ekucingelwa ukuba izimeleyo ukwazisa ukuthathwa kwezigqibo kwe-EU, kwaye emva koko njengomxhamli nje ukuba itephu yemali iqale ukuhamba. Le ayisiyomeko engalindelekanga - yinto kanye ebekufanele ukuba yenzeke.
Iintetho zamagosa e-EU zingabonisa ukuba bathabathekile yimfazwe. Bakuchasile ngokupheleleyo ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo ezibulalayo kwisiphumo sokufa nentshabalalo abaya kuyibangela.
I-EU kufuneka itshintshe ikhosi kwangoko. Kufuneka iphumele ngaphandle kwepharadigm esibeke apha, kwaye ibize uxolo. Iingxaki zokwenza ngenye indlela ziphezulu kakhulu.
