Urhulumente wase-US kunye nowaseRashiya balandela imigaqo-nkqubo eyingozi yokunciphisa inyukliya. Abantu abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba sikufutshane kwimfazwe yenyukliya kunanini na ukusukela kwintlekele ye-missile yaseCuba ngo-1962.
Amashumi amathathu ananye amawaka amajoni avela e-US kunye namazwe e-NATO abandakanyeka kumkhosi womkhosi kumda waseRussia ePoland - kunye neitanki, iinqwelomoya zomkhosi kunye nemijukujelwa. I-US isandula ukwenza indawo ye-anti-ballistic missile site e-Romania apho amaRashiya ayibona njengenxalenye yomgaqo-nkqubo wokuqala waseMelika. Ngoku i-US inokudubula imijukujelwa ngezixhobo zenyukliya eRussia, kwaye ke imijukujelwa echasene ne-ballistic inokudubula imijukujelwa yaseRussia edutyulwe ngasentshona iphendula, ingcinga yokuba ngamaRussia kuphela anokuthwaxwa yimfazwe yenyukliya.
Owayesakuba yinjengele ye-NATO uthe ukholelwa ukuba kuya kubakho imfazwe yenyukliya eYurophu ungaphelanga unyaka. IRashiya iphinde isoyikise ukusetyenziswa kwemijukujelwa kunye nezixhobo zenyukliya eYurophu nase-US ukuba ihlaselwe.
Emva phayaa ngo-1962 xa ndadibana noMongameli uJohn Kennedy kwiNdlu yeNgcaciso, wasixelela ukuba ebefunda Imipu ka-Agasti echaza indlela wonke umntu awayexhobe ngayo emazinyweni ukubonisa "ezinye iintlanga" ezomelele kwaye ziphephe ukubandakanyeka kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi I. Kodwa, i-JFK yaqhubeka, ukuxhobisa amazinyo kwakuyeyona nto yabangela "ilinye icala" kwaye yabangela ukuba wonke umntu adibanise. kuloo mfazwe yoyikekayo. I-JFK yathi kuthi ngoMeyi 1962, "Kuyothusa ukuba imeko yayifana njani ngo-1914 nale nto ngoku" (1962) . Ndiyoyika ukuba sibuyele endaweni enye kwakhona ngo-2016. Zombini i-US kunye ne-NATO kunye ne-Russia zixhobile kwaye zibandakanyeka kwiinkqubo zomkhosi macala omabini emida yaseRashiya - kumazwe aseBaltic, ePoland, eRomania, eUkraine kunye nolwandle lweBaltic ukuya. babonise “abanye” ukuba ababuthathaka xa bejamelene nogonyamelo olunokwenzeka. Kodwa loo misebenzi yasemkhosini kunye nezisongelo zixhokonxa “elinye icala” ukuba libonise ukuba alikho buthathaka kwaye lilungele imfazwe- kwanemfazwe yenyukliya.
Endaweni ye-nuclear brinkmanship, masizibeke kwizihlangu zaseRussia. Kuthekani ukuba iRashiya inobudlelwane bomkhosi kunye neCanada kunye neMexico kwaye ibe nemikhosi yasemkhosini, iitanki, iinqwelomoya zemfazwe, imijukujelwa kunye nezixhobo zenyukliya kwimida yethu? Ngaba besingayi kubona oko njengokuziphatha ndlongondlongo kunye nesisongelo esiyingozi kakhulu kukhuseleko lwase-United States?
Ukhuseleko lwethu lokwenyani kuphela "lukhuseleko ekwabelwana ngalo" kuthi sonke - hayi kwabanye bethu ngeendleko zokhuseleko "lomnye".
Endaweni yokuthumela imikhosi yasemkhosini kwimida yaseRussia, masithumele abathunywa abaninzi bezozakuzo njengabethu eRussia ukuze bazane nabantu baseRussia kwaye bafunde ukuba sonke silusapho olunye lwabantu. Singakha uxolo nokuqondana phakathi kwabantu bethu.
Umongameli uDwight Eisenhower wakha wathi, “Ndingathanda ukukholelwa ukuba abantu behlabathi balufuna kakhulu uxolo kangangokuba oorhulumente bafanele baphume endleleni kwaye babayeke babe nalo. Abantu baseMelika, abantu baseRashiya, abantu baseYurophu - bonke abantu behlabathi - akukho nto banokuyizuza kunye nayo yonke into yokulahlekelwa yimfazwe, ngakumbi imfazwe yenyukliya.
Ndiyathemba ukuba izigidi zethu ziya kucela oorhulumente bethu ukuba babuye umva kwimfazwe yenyukliya kwaye endaweni yoko, benze uxolo ngeendlela zoxolo endaweni yokwenza izoyikiso zemfazwe.
Ukuba i-US kunye namanye amazwe bebenokunikela nesiqingatha semali esiyichitha kwiimfazwe kunye namalungiselelo eemfazwe kunye nokuphucula izixhobo zethu zenyukliya, sinokudala ubomi obungcono kungekuphela kuwo wonke umntu waseMelika, kodwa kuye wonke umntu okwiplanethi yethu entle. kwaye wenze utshintsho kwihlabathi lamandla ahlaziyekayo. Ukuba i-US ibinceda wonke umntu emhlabeni ukuba abe nemfundo engcono, izindlu ezifanelekileyo kunye nokhathalelo lwempilo, oku kunokuba lolona tyalo-mali lungcono kukhuseleko - hayi nje kubantu baseMelika, kodwa kubo bonke abantu behlabathi esinokucinga. .
