The USA namhlanje, umzobo kumsebenzi weProjekthi yeeNdleko zeMfazwe, i-Quincy Institute, uDavid Vine, uWilliam Hartung, kunye nabanye, baye bahamba ngaphaya kwemida yazo zonke ezinye iinkampani ezinkulu ze-media zase-US, kwaye ngaphaya koko naliphi na ilungu le-US Congress lenzile, kuthotho olukhulu olutsha lwamanqaku athetha ngeemfazwe, iziseko, kunye nemfazwe.
Kukho iziphene ezibalulekileyo, ezinye zazo (ezifana noqikelelo oluphantsi ngokungekho ngqiqweni lokufa kunye neendleko zemali) ezivela kwiProjekthi yeeNdleko zeMfazwe. Kodwa impumelelo iyonke kukuba-ndiyathemba-isiseko.
Isihloko sokuqala sithi: “'Kusondele ukubala': IMelika inobukhosi obukhulu baphesheya kweelwandle. Ngaba isafuneka?”
Imeko ineziphene kakhulu:
"Kangangamashumi eminyaka, i-US isonwabele ulawulo lomkhosi wehlabathi, impumelelo eye yaxhasa impembelelo yayo, ukhuseleko lwelizwe kunye neenzame zokukhuthaza idemokhrasi."
Ukukhuthaza ntoni? Yakhe yayikhuthaza phi idemokhrasi? Umkhosi wase-US iingalo, oololiwe, kunye / okanye imali I-96% yabona rhulumente bacinezelayo emhlabeni ngokubona kwayo.
Ukhuseleko lwesizwe? Iziseko kuvelisa iimfazwe nokuchasana, hayi ukhuseleko.
Kamva kwakweli nqaku linye, sifunda oku: “‘Kuzo zonke ezi mfazwe iUnited States iye yachitha imali eninzi ngokuphathelele igazi nobuncwane eneneni incinane kakhulu enokubonisa ngayo,’ watsho njalo uHartung weZiko Lomgaqo-nkqubo Wezizwe Ngezizwe. 'Kukufuphi ukubamba.' Kunzima ukukhomba indawo enye apho ungenelelo lomkhosi wase-US lwangemva kwe-9/11 lukhokelele kwidemokhrasi ephumelelayo okanye kuncitshiswe ubunqolobi ngokulinganayo, utshilo.
Ubalo lubuthathaka:
"ISebe lezoKhuselo lichitha ngaphezulu kwe-700 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngonyaka kwizixhobo kunye nokulungela ukulwa - ngaphezu kwamazwe alandelayo ali-10 edibeneyo, ngokutsho kwetanki yokucinga kwezoqoqosho iPeter G. Peterson Foundation."
Eyona nkcitho yase-US emkhosini $ 1.25 zezigidi unyaka.
Kodwa, ngubani okhathalayo ukuba amanani akachanekanga kwaye ukuhanahanisa kugcinwa ukuba ukuhlala kwehlabathi kunengqiqo ngaphambi kwalo mzuzu? Eli nqaku lichaza ubungakanani bobukumkani beziseko kwaye licebisa ukuba azisayi "kufuneka":
“Namhlanje, phakathi kweenguqu elwandle kwizisongelo zokhuseleko, umkhosi waseMelika phesheya kolwandle unokungabinamsebenzi kangako kunangaphambili, batsho abanye abahlalutyi bezokhuseleko, amagosa okhuselo kunye namalungu enkonzo yasemkhosini asebenzayo ase-US. ”
Umbhali ude acebise utshintsho ukusuka ekuveliseni iimfazwe ukuya ekusebenzeni kwezona ngxaki:
“Ezona zoyikiso zingxamisekileyo e-US, bathi, ziya zisanda ngokungezomkhosi. Phakathi kwazo: uhlaselo lwekhompyutha; idisinformation; Ulawulo lwezoqoqosho lwaseTshayina; imo iyatshintsha; kunye nokuqhambuka kwezifo ezinje nge-COVID-19, ethe yalonakalisa uqoqosho lwase-US ngokungathi akukho siganeko ukusukela oko kuXhotheke kakhulu. ”
Ingxelo eneneni iyaphambuka kwimbono yokuba iziseko azidingeki nje ukuba ziqatshelwe njengeziyingozi:
“Isenokungaphumeleli. UParsi uthe ukuqashwa kwabanqolobi kuMbindi Mpuma kunxibelelene nobukho base-US, umzekelo. Ngeli xesha, abamhlophe baseMelika abaphezulu, hayi abanqolobi bamanye amazwe, babonisa eyona isoyikiso sobugrogrisi e-US, ngokutsho ingxelo evela kwiSebe lezoKhuseleko lweLizwe ikhutshwe ngo-Okthobha – kwiinyanga ezintathu phambi kokuba a Ihlokondiba elinogonyamelo lahlasela iKapitoli. "
IZISEKO
Sikwafumana uvavanyo oluchanekileyo lweziseko:
Namhlanje bafikelela kuma-800, ngokwedatha evela kwiPentagon kunye nengcali yangaphandle, uDavid Vine, unjingalwazi we-anthropology kwiYunivesithi yaseMelika eWashington. Bamalunga nama-220,000 abasebenzi basemkhosini nabemi base-US abasebenza kumazwe angaphezu kwe-150, iSebe lezoKhuselo lithi.
“I-China, ngokwahlukileyo, ikwindawo yesibini ngobukhulu kwezoqoqosho kwihlabathi kwaye ngokwengxelo yonke i-United States ekhuphisana nayo enkulu, inesiseko nje esinye esisemthethweni somkhosi waphesheya kolwandle, e-Djibouti, kuphondo lwe-Afrika. (I-Camp Lemonnier, isiseko esikhulu sase-US e-Afrika, ikude ngeekhilomitha.) I-Britane, i-France ne-Russia zineziseko ze-60 zaphesheya ezidibeneyo, ngokutsho kweVine. Elwandle, i-US ine-11 abathwali beenqwelo-moya. I-China inezimbini. IRashiya inomnye.
“Elona nani lichanekileyo leziseko zaseMelika kunzima ukulibona ngenxa yemfihlo, uburhulumente kunye neenkcazo ezixubeneyo. Inani leziseko ezingama-800 lonyusiwe, abanye bayaphikisana, ngonyango lwePentagon lweendawo ezininzi ezisisiseko kufutshane nenye njengofakelo olwahlukileyo. I-USA TODAY imisele imihla yokuvulwa kwezi ziseko ezingaphezu kwama-350. Akukacaci ukuba zingaphi ezinye ezisetyenziswayo. ”
Emva koko sifumana ububhanxa:
"'Babala yonke indawo encinci, yonke i-eriyali encotsheni yentaba enocingo oluziimitha ezisi-8 ngeenxa zonke kuyo,' utshilo uPhilip M. Breedlove, injengele esele isidla umhlala-phantsi kwi-Air Force yase-US ekwasebenza njenge-NATO. UMphathi oPhezulu oManyano waseYurophu. I-Breedlove iqikelela ukuba kukho iziseko ezimbalwa 'ezinkulu' zase-US eziyimfuneko kukhuseleko lwesizwe lwase-US. "
Kwaye isigqibo esifanelekileyo:
"Kodwa akukho mathandabuzo ukuba utyalo-mali lwase-US kwezokhuselo kunye nomkhosi walo wamazwe ngamazwe lusanda amashumi eminyaka."
UKUHAMBA IMALI
The USA namhlanje Inqaku liphikisa ukuba i-COVID yeyona nto iphambili kwiimfazwe kuba ibulele ngaphezulu kwaye ixabisa ngaphezulu - nto leyo ephantse ikwenze ufune ukonwabela uqikelelo oluphantsi ngokuhlekisayo lokufa kwemfazwe kunye neendleko. Nangona kunjalo, sixelelwa:
“Kodwa ukuthintela ukufa okunje kusenokungabi ngumcimbi nje wokuthatha imali kwiPentagon kodwa ukuguqula kugxilwe kuyo. Umzekelo, umcebisi ophezulu we-White House we-COVID-19 uAndy Slavitt ubhengeze ngoFebruwari 5 ukuba ngaphezulu I-1,000 lamajoni asebenzayo azakuqala ukuxhasa iindawo zokugonya ngeenxa zonke e-US” Iimpawu ezilungileyo ezinokuthi zenziwe ngcono ngaphandle komkhosi licebo lakudala lokugcina inkcitho enkulu kwizixhobo, iziseko, kunye nemikhosi.
Eli nqaku likwaphawula ingozi enkulu yokuwa kwemozulu kwaye ngombulelo ayiwukhuthazi umkhosi njengendlela yokuyilungisa, kodwa ayicebisi ukuhambisa imali efuneka ngokungxamisekileyo kwiDili eNtsha eluhlaza nokuba.
ITSHAYINA NERUSIYA
Ngetyala layo elikhulu, i USA namhlanje Ibonisa ukuba i-China ayizibandakanyi kumkhosi we-US-scale, kwaye endaweni yoko ityala imali kumashishini anoxolo kwaye igqwesile kuwo-into leyo owayesakuba nguMongameli wase-US uJimmy Carter wayibonisa uMongameli wase-US uDonald Trump owaphendula ngokunyuka komkhosi.
Eli nqaku lintywila kwi-Russiagate, kwaye liqaqambisa "uhlaselo" lwe-cyber ngaphandle kobuganga bokuchaza ukuba urhulumente wase-US uye wakhaba izindululo zaseRussia zesivumelwano esivala uhlaselo lwe-cyber, ebesenza uhlaselo lwe-cyber, eqhayisa malunga nalo. uhlaselo lwe-cyber. Kodwa nabuphi na ubuvuvu obuhambisa imali kwiibhombu nakwimijukujelwa ukuya kwiikhompyutha sifanele sikuvuyele.
Olunye uloyiko lububudenge: "Kukho ithuba lokuba iintshaba zaseMelika eIran naseNyakatho Korea ziphuhlise izixhobo zenyukliya kwaye zijolise e-US" INorth Korea inezixhobo zenyukliya iminyaka emininzi. I-Iran ayinayo inkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya. Ngoko ke, akukho namnye kubo ovelisa izixhobo zenyukliya.
UMILLEY
Oku kubandakanyiwe: “Nditsho nosihlalo weeNtloko zaBasebenzi eziManyeneyo kutshanje uthe i-US kufuneka cinga ngokutsha amanqanaba ayo amakhulu omkhosi osisigxina kwiindawo eziyingozi zehlabathi, apho banokuba sesichengeni ukuba kuqhambuka ungquzulwano lwemimandla. I-US idinga ubukho baphesheya, kodwa kufuneka ibe 'episodic,' hayi isigxina, utshilo uMilley ngoDisemba. "Iziseko ezinkulu ezisisigxina zase-US phesheya kolwandle zinokuba yimfuneko ukuze imikhosi ejikelezayo ingene kwaye iphume, kodwa ukubeka ngokusisigxina imikhosi yase-US ndicinga ukuba ifuna ukujongwa kwakhona ngekamva," utshilo uMilley, zombini ngenxa yeendleko eziphezulu kunye nomngcipheko kwiintsapho zasemkhosini. .
I-TRUMP BASE UKWANDISA
Kwaye ngelixa akukacaci ukuba zingaphi iziseko, ukuba zikhona, ezivaliweyo phantsi kukaTrump, ukusukela ngo-2016 wavula iziseko ezongezelelweyo e-Afghanistan, e-Estonia, eCyprus, eJamani, eHungary, eIceland, kwaSirayeli, eLatvia, eLithuania, eLuxembourg, eNiger, eNorway, IPalau, iiPhilippines, iPoland, iRomania, iSaudi Arabia, iSlovakia, iSomalia, iSyria kunye neTunisia, ngokwedatha evela kwiPentagon kunye neVine. Umkhosi wase-US, owasekwa nguTrump ngoDisemba ka-2019, sele uneqela le-airmen engama-20 emiswe kwi-Al-Udeid Air Base yaseQatar, kunye neendawo zaphesheya zokuhlola imijukujelwa eGreenland, eUnited Kingdom, kwiSiqithi sase-Ascension kuLwandlekazi lwePasifiki kunye. kwisiqithi sase-Diego Garcia esisemkhosini kuLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, ngokutsho kwephephancwadi iStars and Stripes, iphephandaba lomkhosi laseMelika.”
TRUMP DRONE UKUBULAWA UKWAndiswa
Ngo-2019, umfelandawonye okhokelwa yi-US exhasa urhulumente wase-Afghan ngokuchasene nabavukeli baseTaliban baphosa iibhombu ezininzi kunye nemijukujelwa kwiinqwelomoya zemfazwe kunye ne-drones kunawo nawuphi na omnye unyaka wemfazwe eyaqala ngo-2001. Irekhodi yangaphambili ibekwe kwi-7,423, xa izixhobo ze-2019 zachithwa. Ngo-2018, unyaka wokugqibela wolawulo luka-Obama, elo nani laliyi-7,362.
Ukuhamba kunye USA namhlanje Inqaku libizwa Ngokukodwa: imisebenzi yokulwa nabanqolobi e-US ichukumise amazwe angama-85 kule minyaka mi-3 idlulileyo.
"Idatha entsha evela kumphandi uStephanie Savell ye Iindleko zeProjekthi yeMfazwe kwiYunivesithi yaseBrown kwiWatson Institute ibonisa ukuba kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo i-US ibisebenza kumazwe angama-85 ubuncinane.”
Ezinye iimephu ezintle:
Imephu engentla kufuneka ingabandakanyi "imithambo" eqhutywa yi-NATO.
Imephu engezantsi ingcono kwi USA namhlanje isayithi apho ihlaziya unyaka nonyaka.
Nantsi enye enobungakanani bezangqa ngokucacileyo ebonisa inani lemikhosi yase-US:
Inqaku lesithathu ukusuka USA namhlanje ibizwa "I-Biden ibeka into engalunganga" kwiMelika kuQala nanjengoko ishukuma ukutyhila umgaqo-nkqubo kaTrump wangaphandle.
Kuyo, isithethi sikaBiden sicebisa ukuba uza kuyisusa i-US kude nomkhosi kwaye aye ekunyamekeleni iimfuno zabantu nezendalo.
Kuya kuba kuhle ukuba oku kuhambelana nobungqina ukuza kuthi ga ngoku besithembiso esaphukileyo e-Afghanistan, isithembiso esaphukileyo esingacacanga eYemen, akukho ntshukumo ekutshintsheni inkcitho yasemkhosini iye kwiiprojekthi zoxolo, isithembiso esaphukileyo kwisivumelwano saseIran, izixhobo ezisebenzisana noozwilakhe. Kubandakanya i-Egypt, ukuqhubeka nokufudumala eSiriya, e-Iraq, e-Iran, ukwala ukukhupha imikhosi eJamani, ixhasa ubhukuqo-mbuso eVenezuela, ukutyunjwa kwabaninzi abafudumalayo kwiofisi ephezulu, kuqhubeka izigwebo ezichasene neNkundla yeZizwe eziManyeneyo, yaqhubeka inkundla yamatyala. Uzwilakhe wasebukhosini waseSaudi, akukho tshutshiso kulo naluphi na ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe yangaphambi kweBiden, ukuqhubeka nokukhululwa kwemfazwe kwizivumelwano zemozulu, njl.
