NguDavid Swanson, Oktobha 24, 2017, Masilinge iNdemokhrasi.
Nanjengoko ezinye iiDemokhrasi ekugqibeleni zikhula zikhungathekile ngenxa yokunqongophala kobungqina bokwenyani kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo zamabali malunga neRussia ibiba unyulo lwase-US, iRussiagate ingene nzulu kangangokuba unozakuzaku kaTrump kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo uye wafumana uMongameli we-US. wathi Ulwaphulo-mthetho olutyholwa eRashiya ukuba zizenzo zemfazwe. Ukuba izenzo zaseRussia eziyintsomi ziyimfazwe ziya kwenza uDonald Trump abe netyala lokungcatsha ngokwenene yinto encinci yokungakhathali ukuba sinokubuya umva kwaye sijonge imeko ngokuzolileyo nangobulumko ngokwembono yabathengisi bezixhobo.
IYunivesithi yaseVirginia iMiller Centre ayizange idibane nolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe eyayingayithandi. Iyacwangcisa ngoku iintsuku ezintathu I-Russophobia engapheliyo:
“Ukususela kwiMvukelo yamaBolshevik yowe-1917, iUnited States neRashiya bezisoloko zikhuphisana ngokwelizwe nangokweengcamango.”
Leyo yenye yeendlela zokuqaphela ukuba i-US kunye namahlakani ayo bathumela ngokukhawuleza imikhosi yabo eRashiya ukuya kulwa nohlaziyo-isenzo esasingenanto yakwenza nokukhusela i-United States okanye ukuxhasa umthetho okanye ukuthintela ukubulawa kwabantu okanye ukwandisa amalungelo abantu basetyhini. ukusasaza idemokhrasi okanye ukuhlonipha ulongamo lwesizwe, okanye naziphi na ezinye izinto ezingenamsebenzi ezibekwa phambili njengezizathu zeemfazwe kule mihla. Ngapha koko, oku kufudumeza kwaba kukwaphulwa okucacileyo kweyesithandathu yeeNqaku ezili-14 zikaWilson, kunye neNqaku ngalinye kwiiNqaku ezintlanu ngokubanzi.
“Emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi Yokuqala, ucelomngeni lwamaBolshevik kwiinjongo zaseMerika zobukhapitali bedemokhrasi yamisela intsingiselo kuyo yonke le nkulungwane.”
Ke, i-US ukuthumela imikhosi eRussia ayizange ibeke naziphi na iithoni, kodwa ukungavisisani kweeBolsheviks "nongxowankulu bedemokhrasi" okusebenza kakuhle kuthi kuyenzile loo nto.
"Ngaphandle nje kwethuba lokusebenzisana ngexesha lemfazwe enkulu ngokuchasene noHitler, i-USA kunye ne-USSR zajongana ngokukrokrelana okukhulu kwaye ekugqibeleni zabona enye njengesisongelo esikhoyo. Nangona ukuwa komyalelo weMfazwe ebandayo, iMelika kunye neRashiya ayikwazanga ukuphuhlisa ubudlelwane obuzinzile, obuxhamlayo, kwaye ukususela ekufikeni kukaVladimir Putin emandleni ngo-2000, ubudlelwane bufikelele kwinqanaba lobutshaba obungabonwanga ukususela ekujuleni kwe-XNUMX. iMfazwe Yomlomo.”
UPutin, akunjalo? Unikezelo lwakhe lobuhlobo kunye nenkxaso kunye nesipho sesikhumbuzo esilandela uSeptemba 11, 2001, ukuvuma kwakhe ukunceda ngohlaselo olukhokelwa yi-US e-Afghanistan akukho nje? Kuya kufuneka sitsibe ngokuthe ngqo ekwehleni kobudlelwane obaqala xa uPutin engayi kuxhasa ukuhlasela i-Iraq, kwaye senze ngathi kwenzeke kwiminyaka emithathu ngaphambili? Umfana wayengalunganga ngokuhlasela i-Iraq, eh? Oko kuqinisekileyo kuye kwahlawula ixesha elikhulu kwaye kwamisela umgangatho wokuziphatha kwihlabathi elizele ziintshaba ezibhityileyo. (Ukuba unyaka wama-2000 ngumhla ongalunganga wokuqalisa ngawo “ubutshaba” ivunywa ngu Nye yamanqaku eZiko leMiller.)
"Le nkomfa ijolise ekubekeni ubudlelwane bangoku base-US-Russia kwimeko ebanzi yembali ngokubuyela kumaxesha abalulekileyo embali yentlekele kunye nempikiswano kunye nokuzibamba kunye nokulalanisa. Ngokuphonononga abongameli base-US kunye nobudlelwane babo kwiinkokeli zaseRussia kunye neSoviet, kwaye ngokuhlalutya iimbono zokugqibela, sinethemba lokukhanyisa ubume bokwenene bobudlelwane bamazwe amabini: amandla angaphantsi, ingcamango, i-geopolitical, iqhinga, imbali-eye yabeka I-United States neRashiya ziye zaba neenjongo ezahlukeneyo kule nkulungwane idluleyo.”
Ngokuqinisekileyo uyayenza. Ukulungiselela, iziko lipapashe amanqaku amaninzi kwi-intanethi. Nasi isiphelo se Nye eqala ngoWilson noLenin:
Sixelelwa ukuba, uPutin ubona ipolitiki yamazwe ngamazwe njengomdlalo wamandla amakhulu, olawulwa ngulo mgaqo wakudala weThucydidean onokuthi ulunge.
Ungakhathali ukuba sixelelwa ngubani oku nokuba ixabiseke kangakanani na!
“Le yayiyingqiqo kanye esengqiqweni yolungelelwaniso lwehlabathi lwangaphambi kowe-1919 abathi uWilson noLenin bayigatya. Bobabini babefuna ihlabathi elilawulwa yimimiselo namaziko entsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe; baseka uManyano Lwezizwe nolweSithathu lweZizwe ngeZizwe, emva koko, malunga nexesha elinye. Kakade ke, uWilson wayefuna umyalelo obonisa imigaqo yolawulo-mali lwedemokhrasi, noLenin, lowo wobuKomanisi bamazwe ngamazwe. Bobabini, nangona kunjalo, ngeba bayala uPutinism njengento ecekisekayo. "
UPutin uguqulwa ngokukhawuleza abe "yiPutinism" ngesiseko sento "esiyixelelwayo," kwaye emva koko wagwetywa "njengezothe." Egad! Yintoni esinokuyenza ukuze siphephe eli sikizi?
"I-United States, ngoko, inokukhetha kabini kwindlela ehlala ngayo eRashiya namhlanje. Enye kukwamkela isiseko sikaPutin kunye nokubumba umgaqo-nkqubo wayo ngokusekelwe kwimigaqo yezopolitiko zamandla amakhulu. IWashington isakonwabela ukongama okukhulu kwezoqoqosho nakwezomkhosi ngaphezulu kweMoscow, kwaye oku, kudityaniswe nesikhundla esifanelekileyo se-geostrategic yaseMelika, inika amandla amakhulu. Isicwangciso esinjalo, nangona kunjalo, siya kufuna inkcazo ecacileyo yezinto eziphambili ngobuchule kunye nolwamkelo oluthile, nangona lungathandekiyo, lweminqweno yeRussia ebonwayo kufutshane naphesheya. Njengokuba iWashington ichasa ukubandakanyeka kweRussia eUkraine, umzekelo, okanye ukungenwa okunokwenzeka kwiBaltics, ikude kangakanani ukuba izimisele ukuyiyeka?
“Okwesibini ukhetho kukwamkela imbono enemigaqo, kaWilson, njengoko uWilson ngokwakhe wenzayo kuLenin. Kwesi sikimu, ukwala kukaPutin ukuthobela izithethe zamazwe ngamazwe kunye namaziko enziwe emva kowe-1945 phantsi kwempembelelo yase-US (ukuba ngamanye amaxesha ityeshelwe yimigaqo-nkqubo yase-US) kuya kwenza ukuba ulawulo lwakhe lube ngokungekho mthethweni kumazwe ngamazwe. I-United States inokuthi ihlanganise amahlakani aneengqondo ezifanayo (mhlawumbi, ngakumbi eYurophu) ukuba aqinise izohlwayo zezoqoqosho kwaye anciphise ngakumbi unxibelelwano ngezozakuzo. ”
Olu hlolisiso luchulumancisayo lwaveliswa nguErez Manela waseHarvard othi “Akuvumelekanga ukuba abe-Whistleblowers!” IYunivesithi. Isindululo, ukuba sicace, sise-United States, kunye neemfazwe ezininzi kunye nokubhukuqa kunokuba ikwazi ukugcina umkhondo, itshabalalise ngokupheleleyo i-Iraq, iguqule uMbindi Mpuma ube yifektri yobugrogrisi, kwinkqubo yokulambisa bonke abantu baseYemen. , ifanele isebenzise ingcinezelo yokuziphatha ukuze ikhuthaze iRashiya ukuba iqalise ukuthobela imilinganiselo yokuziphatha kakuhle kwentsebenziswano ephucukileyo.
Elinye iZiko leMiller inqaku ivela ku-Eugene B. Rumer weCarnegie Endowment for International “Peace,” othi ngobubele abonise ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuthandabuza ubulumko bokwandisa i-NATO ngaphambi kokuba aqukumbele ngelithi: “Xa sijonga umva, yayiyindlela esengqiqweni enokwenziwa ngelo xesha.” URumer ukwasixelela ukuba isizathu sobudlelwane obuchasayo base-US-Russia lilo lonke iphutha laseRussia kunye nesizathu esihle sobutshaba base-US:
"Impendulo eqhelekileyo kwezi ntsuku eWashington kungenxa yokuphazamiseka kweRussia kunyulo lwethu lukamongameli lwango-2016, ngenxa yokubamba kuka-Vladimir Putin ngokungekho mthethweni eCrimea kunye nemfazwe echasene neUkraine, nangenxa kaPutin-ukuhlaselwa kwakhe kwidemokhrasi ekhaya kunye ne-ajenda eyingozi kunye ne-megalomaniacal phesheya. Nganye kwezi yintlawulo enzima ekwaziyo ukwenza umonakalo omkhulu kulo naluphi na ulwalamano phakathi kwamazwe amabini phantse. Xa zidityanisiwe, ziba ngunobangela osemthethweni weMfazwe Yomlomo entsha. ”
Emva koko uDerek Chollet weGerman Marshall Fund yaseUnited States isixelele ukuba, "Ngethuba nje u-Putin ehlala ephethe, kukho ithuba elincinci lobudlelwane obunemveliso base-US-Russia, kwaye oomongameli kufuneka babeke izinto ezilindelekileyo ngokufanelekileyo. . . . IUnited States ayifanelanga yoyike ukwahlula iRashiya okanye ichaze ngokucacileyo ukuba iza kusebenza ukuze iqulathe iminqweno yaseRashiya.”
Ewe, oko kufanele ukuba kunceda izinto.
Vladislav Zubok, unjingalwazi wembali yamazwe ngamazwe kwiSikolo sezoQoqosho saseLondon, imfumba Ipropaganda echasene noPutin:
“UPutin, njengoBrezhnev, akanabubele kakhulu. Uyayihlonela imikhosi kwaye uyayixhasa imfazwe, uhlonela 'imfazwe ye-Great Fatherland,' kwaye ukhuthaza ukuthanda ilizwe. Nangona kunjalo ungaphezulu kwendoda yaseSoviet 'yeKGB.' Wayenegophe lokufunda, xa ilizwe laseSoviet latshatyalaliswayo yaza iRashiya yakhukuliswa zizikhukula zenyaniso yokukhululwa kwezopolitiko nezoqoqosho. Wamkela ukusilela okusisiseko kobuKomanisi njengemfundiso yezoqoqosho neyengqondo, kwaye akafuni kuphinda akhe ubukhosi beSoviet. Iprojekthi yakhe kukuphucula indawo yaseRashiya kwi-oda yehlabathi ekhoyo, kungekhona ukudala entsha. Yaye ingcamango yakhe yamandla isondele ngakumbi koko acinga ukuba iinkokeli zama-Arabhu, iTshayina, nezobupolitika zaseLatin America ziyiyo kuneetsars neekomissars.”
Kuyaphawuleka ukuba incinci kangakanani na kwezi demoni zikaPutin nokuba zikhankanye ubukho bukaDonald Trump.
Ngokunqwala kwinyani esekwe kwinyani, iZiko leMiller lifake inqaku elinye ngu-Allen Lynch, unjingalwazi wezopolitiko kwiYunivesithi yaseVirginia, esikhumbuzayo ukuba, ngaphaya kokwala kweRussia ukubuyisela uhlaselo lwase-Iraq ngo-2003, unobangela omkhulu wentiyo yayiyindlela i-US eyadlala ngayo iRussia kunye nezinye izizwe kwi-UN ngo-2011, xa yayisenza ngathi ifuna ukuhlasela iLibya nje ukunqanda into eyintsomi. Usoyikiso lokubulawa kohlanga, kodwa ngoko nangoko waqhubeka nokubhukuqa urhulumente. Ngala mava akhokelela iRashiya ukuba ithathe indlela eyahlukileyo kwizenzo zase-US eSiriya.
Nditsho noLynch, nangona kunjalo, uzisa "ingxaki yaseUkraine" ngaphandle kokukhankanya indima yase-US ekudaleni. Nangona kunjalo, uyayivuma imbono yesiRashiya:
Logama nje amazwe afana ne-Ukraine kunye neGeorgia ehlala ekulungele ubulungu be-NATO, iMoscow ayinakucinga ukuba inokubonelela ngokhuseleko kwitafile yothethathethwano neWashington.
Yinyani leyo. Andilindelanga ukuba iphazamise umsebenzi weMiller Centre.
