NguAnn Wright kunye noMedea Benjamin
Kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo, inkcaso enkulu yabemi kunye nokuhlanganiswa kwamisa uhlaselo lomkhosi wase-US olunokwenzeka kurhulumente wase-Assad waseSyria uninzi lwaxela kwangaphambili ukuba ngelulwenzile ungquzulwano olubi ngakumbi. Kwakhona, kufuneka siyeke ukunyuka kwaloo mfazwe yoyikekayo kwaye endaweni yoko sisebenzise le ntlekele njengempembelelo yothethathethwano lokusombulula.
Kwi-2013 uMongameli u-Obama usongelo wokungenelela weza ekuphenduleni uhlaselo olubi lweekhemikhali eGhouta, eSiriya eyabulala phakathi kwe-280 kunye ne-1,000 yabantu. Kunoko, urhulumente waseRashiya wenze isivumelwano kunye nolawulo lwe-Assad kuluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe ukuba lutshabalalise i-arsenal yeekhemikhali kwinqanawa ebonelelwe yi-US. Kodwa abaphandi be-UN umbiko ukuba ngo-2014 no-2015, zombini urhulumente waseSyria kunye nemikhosi ye-Islamic State ibandakanyeka kuhlaselo lwekhemikhali.
Ngoku, kwiminyaka emine kamva, elinye ilifu elikhulu lekhemikhali libulele ubuncinci abantu abangama-70 kwidolophu yabavukeli baseKhan Sheikhoun, kwaye uMongameli uTrump usongela isenzo somkhosi ngokuchasene norhulumente wase-Assad.
Umkhosi wase-US sele ubandakanyeka kakhulu kwi-quagmire yaseSyria. Kukho malunga ne-500 ye-Special Operations imikhosi, i-200 Rangers kunye ne-200 Marines amiswe apho ukuze acebise amaqela ahlukeneyo alwa norhulumente waseSiriya kunye ne-ISIS, kwaye ulawulo lwe-Trump luye lwacinga ukuthumela i-1,000 imikhosi engaphezulu ukulwa ne-ISIS. Ukuqinisa urhulumente wase-Assad, urhulumente waseRussia uye wahlanganisa umkhosi wakhe omkhulu ngaphandle kwendawo yakhe kumashumi eminyaka.
Imikhosi yase-US kunye neRashiya inoqhagamshelwano lwemihla ngemihla ukulungisa indawo yomoya yokuqhubhisa iindawo zaseSyria ngamnye ufuna ukutshisa. Amagosa aphezulu omkhosi aphuma kuwo omabini la mazwe adibene eTurkey, ilizwe eliye ladubula ijethi enye yaseRussia kwaye ibamba iinqwelomoya zase-US eziqhushumbisa iSyria.
Olu hlaselo lwamva nje lwekhemikhali lulo lwamva nje kwimfazwe ethathe ubomi babantu abangaphezu kwama-400,000 baseSyria. Ukuba ulawulo lukaTrump luthatha isigqibo sokunyusa ukubandakanyeka emkhosini wase-US ngokuqhushumba kumaziko olawulo lukarhulumente waseSyria eDamasko naseAleppo kunye nokutyhala abavukeli ukuba babambele urhulumente omtsha umhlaba, ukubulawa kwabantu kunye nesiphithiphithi-kunokwanda.
Jonga nje amava ase-US akutshanje e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq naseLibya. E-Afghanistan emva kokuwa kweTaliban, amaqela omkhosi awahlukeneyo awayexhaswa ngurhulumente wase-US abalekela eKabul ukuze alawule ikomkhulu kwaye umlo wabo wamagunya koorhulumente abalandelanayo bobuqhophololo ukhokelele kubundlobongela obuqhubeka kwiminyaka eli-15 kamva. E-Iraq, iProjekthi yeXesha Elitsha laseMelika (PNAC) urhulumente-ekuthinjweni okhokelwa ngu-Ahmed Chalabi waqhekeka kwaye u-Pro-Consul onyulwe ngu-US uPaul Bremer waliphatha kakubi ilizwe kangangokuba yanika ithuba lokuba i-ISIS ikhule kwi-American-operated. iintolongo kunye nokuphuhlisa izicwangciso zokwenza i-caliphate yayo e-Iraq naseSiriya. E-Libya, iphulo lokuqhushumba kwe-US / NATO "ukukhusela amaLibya" kwi-Qaddafi kubangele ilizwe lahlulwe libe ziinxalenye ezintathu.
Ngaba ibhombu yase-US eSyria ingasikhokelela ekulweni ngokuthe ngqo neRussia? Kwaye ukuba i-US iphumelele ukubhukuqa u-Assad, ngubani phakathi kwamaqela amaninzi avukelayo oya kuthatha indawo yakhe kwaye ngaba baya kukwazi ngokwenene ukuzinzisa ilizwe?
Endaweni yokuqhushumba ngakumbi, ulawulo lweTrump kufuneka lucinezele urhulumente waseRussia ukuba axhase uphando lwe-UN malunga nohlaselo lweekhemikhali kwaye athathe amanyathelo abukhali okufuna isisombululo sale ngxabano yoyikekayo. Ngo-2013, urhulumente waseRashiya wathi uza kuzisa uMongameli Assad kwitafile yeengxoxo. Eso sithembiso asizange sihoywe lulawulo luka-Obama, olubona ngathi kusengenzeka ukuba abavukeli abaxhase ukubhukuqa urhulumente wase-Assad. Oko kwakungaphambi kokuba amaRashiya eze kuhlangula umhlobo wawo uAssad. Ngoku lixesha lokuba uMongameli uTrump asebenzise "uqhagamshelo lwakhe lwaseRussia" ukuthengisa isisombululo ekuxoxwe ngaso.
Ngo-1997, uMcebisi wezoKhuseleko lweSizwe u-HR McMaster wabhala incwadi ebizwa “Ukurhoxiswa koMsebenzi: uJohnson, uMcNamara, iiNkosi eziManyeneyo, kunye noBubuxoki obakhokelela eVietnam” malunga nokusilela kweenkokeli zomkhosi ukunika umongameli uvavanyo olunyanisekileyo kunye nohlalutyo. kunye namanye amagosa aphezulu kwi-1963-1965 ekhokelela kwiMfazwe yaseVietnam. UMcMasters uwakhalimele la madoda anamandla “ngokuzigwagwisa, ubuthathaka, ukuxoka ngokufuna ukuzingca nokuncama uxanduva kubantu baseMelika.”
Ngaba umntu okwi-White House, i-NSC, iPentagon, okanye iSebe leLizwe nceda unike uMongameli uTrump uvavanyo olunyanisekileyo lwembali yezenzo zomkhosi wase-US kwiminyaka eyi-15 edlulileyo kunye nesiphumo esinokubakho sokubandakanyeka emkhosini wase-US eSyria?
General McMaster, kunjani kuwe?
Fowunela amalungu akho e-US Congress (202-224-3121)) kunye ne-White House (202-456-1111)) kwaye ifune uthethathethwano lwase-US kunye noorhulumente waseSyria nowaseRussia ukuphelisa ukubulawa kwabantu.
