UMichael Flynn uthathe inxaxheba ekubulaweni kwabantu abaninzi kunye nokutshabalalisa e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq, ekhuthaza ukuthuthunjiswa, kwaye wenza amatyala obuxoki emfazwe echasene ne-Iran. Yena kunye naye nabani na owammisela kwisikhundla sakhe waza wamgcina apho bafanele bashenxiswe baze bangakufanelekeli ukwenza inkonzo yoluntu. (Nangona ndisakuxabisa ukugqabhuka kwakhe ngokucacileyo malunga neziphumo ezichaseneyo zokubulawa kwabantu ngedrone.)
Abaninzi banokuthi ukutshutshisa u-Al Capone ngenxa yobuqhetseba berhafu kwakuhamba kakuhle ukuba wayengenako ukutshutshiswa ngokubulala. Kodwa kuthekani ukuba u-Al Capone wayexhasa ngemali inkedama ecaleni, kwaye urhulumente wayemtshutshisa ngenxa yoko? Okanye kuthekani ukuba urhulumente ubungamtshutshisanga, kodwa iqela eliziintshaba lalimkhuphile? Ngaba konke ukuthotywa kwabaphuli-mthetho abakhulu kulungile? Ngaba zonke ziyayinqanda imisebenzi efanelekileyo ngabaphuli-mthetho abasakhulayo?
UMichael Flynn akazange asuswe ngokwemfuno yoluntu, ngamanyathelo amele kwiCongress, ngeenkqubo zokumangalela esidlangalaleni, okanye ngokutshutshisa ngolwaphulo-mthetho (nangona oko kunokulandela). Wasuswa liqela leentlola kunye nababulali abangaphenduliyo, nangenxa yetyala lokufuna ubudlelwane obusondeleleneyo kunye norhulumente ophambili wehlabathi oxhobe ngenyukliya.
Ngoku, ngandlel’ ithile, wohluthwa ngenxa yolunye ulwaphulo-mthetho olunxulumeneyo, kanye njengokuba uBill Clinton engazange atyholwe ngokwesondo. UFlynn waxoka. Usenokuba wenze isifungo sobuxoki. Usenokuba uthintele ubulungisa. Kucingelwa ukuba wazenza wachanabeka kwi-blackmail, nangona ingcinga yaseRussia enqwenela ukutyhila imfihlo yayo kwaye yohlwaye abo bayincedayo ibonakala ibuthathaka. UFlynn ukwasebenzisana norhulumente wangaphandle egameni lephulo lonyulo.
Ezinye zezi zizityholo ezinzulu kakhulu. Ukuba uthe wasusa onke amaxoki kurhulumente wase-US, ngequbuliso uya kuba nendawo kwiiofisi zabo ezingenanto yokuhlalisa bonke abantu abangenamakhaya, kodwa nesohlwayo esikhethekileyo sokuxoka sinento ethile. Kwaye ukusebenzisana kwephulo lonyulo kunye noorhulumente bamazwe angaphandle kunembali embi kubandakanya ukonakaliswa koxolo kukaNixon eVietnam, ukonakaliswa kukaReagan ukukhululwa kwabathinjwa base-US eIran, njl.
Kodwa uFlynn wayethetha ngantoni nonozakuzaku waseRashiya, ngaphambi okanye emva konyulo? Akukho mntu umtyholayo ngokuzama ukugcina imfazwe okanye abantu bevalelwe. Utyholwa ngokuthetha ngokususa izohlwayo, mhlawumbi kuquka nezohlwayo ezisetyenziselwa ukohlwaya iRussia ngezinto engayenzanga. Ingcamango yokuba iRashiya yayingumhlaseli e-Ukraine okanye yahlasela i-Ukraine kwaye yoyisa iCrimea kwimodeli yokuhlasela kwe-US e-Baghdad bubuxoki nje. Uluvo lokuba iRussia yagqekeza ii-imeyile zeDemocratic Party kwaye yazinika iWikiLeaks libango esingakhange siboniswe ngalo ubungqina obubambekayo, obungeyonyani. Ngaphandle kokuba kukho umntu oyivuzayo ngalo lonke ixesha uDonald Trump evuthela impumlo, akukho mntu useke wakhupha ubungqina bolu lwaphulo-mthetho lwaseRashiya.
Ke kukho into akuxelela yona amalungu oluntu lwase-US ukuba kuyacaca ukuba uFlynn umelwe kukuba uthethe ngayo. Kucingelwa ukuba ulungiselele ukuba iRussia ibambe unyulo lwase-US lukaTrump, nokuba ngokwazisa uluntu lwase-US ngolwaphulo-mthetho kunye nokuxhatshazwa kweDemocratic Party ngamagama alo, ekucingelwa ukuba aphembelela inani elikhulu labavoti - nangona kungekho bungqina bubenziwe yiRussia. oku okanye oku kube nefuthe, kwaye umvoti onolwazi olungcono yidemokhrasi eyomeleleyo, hayi lowo "uhlaselweyo" - okanye ngandlela thile ngokuthe ngqo ukuguqula amanani evoti okanye ukukhohlisa iingqondo zethu okanye into. Ukuba nantoni na ehambisana nale migaqo iqinisekisiweyo iya kuba yinto enzulu ngokwenene, nangona inokuba sesinye seziphene ezininzi ezibulalayo kwinkqubo yonyulo yase-US kunye nokunyoba okusemthethweni, amajelo eendaba, ikholeji yonyulo, ukukhwabanisa, ukubala okungenakuqinisekwa, ukoyikiswa okuvulekileyo, ukuhlanjululwa. imiqulu, njl.
Kwaye ke, ekugqibeleni, kukho into iintatheli kunye namalungu oluntu aya kukuxelela ukuba ulwaphulo-mthetho lukaFlynn lubandakanya, xa sele kufunyenwe ukuba iRussia ingendawo. Wayenobuhlobo kunye neRashiya. Oogxa bakhe kwi-White House bayayithanda iRashiya. Bakhe batyelela eRashiya. Baye badibana nezinye iitycoons zamashishini ase-US eRashiya. Baceba izivumelwano zoshishino nabantu baseRashiya. Kwaye nangokunjalo. Ngoku, ndichasene nezivumelwano zoshishino ezinobuqhophololo, ukuba zinobuqhophololo, naphi na. Kwaye ukuba amafutha efosili yaseRashiya, njengamafutha aseCanada nase-US, awahlali emhlabeni, sonke siya kufa. Kodwa imithombo yeendaba yase-US ithatha izivumelwano zoshishino zase-US kwamanye amazwe njengokuphanga okuqhelekileyo okuhloniphekileyo. Naluphi na unxulumano nayo nayiphi na into yaseRashiya ibe luphawu lokungcatsha okuphezulu.
Ngokuzenzekelayo okanye akunjalo, yiloo nto kanye eyenza izixhobo bathi bayafuna. Ngaba oko bafuna kusilungele? Ngaba sikho isizathu esivakalayo sokuthatha indlela yabo ukuya ekohlwayeni abantu abasegunyeni, nini ezinye iindlela zivuleke kakhulu zinekhaphethi ezibomvu ezityhidiweyo ukusuka kumacango amakhulu agolide?
