Uloyiso olukhulu lwakutshanje lwe Umongameli onyulwe eMzantsi Korea I-Moon Jae-in inabantu abaninzi abazibuza ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni ngokulandelayo?
Ngaba iNyanga iya kunyanzela iTump ukuba ikhuphe i-THAAD (i-Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) ngaphandle kwe-Seongju, indawo yokulima i-melon ngoku iguqulelwe kwisiseko se-US 'missile defense' (MD) - kwaye ngokucacileyo eyona nto ijoliswe kuyo kuyo nayiphi na imfazwe? Ngaba iNyanga iya kusala imfuno kaTrump yokuba uMzantsi Korea uhlawule ukuthunyelwa kwe-THAAD?
Ngaba iNyanga iya kusebenza ukukhulula ukungavisisani kunye neNorth Korea kwaye iphinde ivule umnyango wokuhlanganisana kwi-peninsula yaseKorea? Ngaba iNyanga iya kukhanya kwaye ifune ukuba uMzantsi Korea ube nomgaqo-nkqubo wawo womkhosi kunye nowangaphandle kunokuba usebenze njengendawo yomkhosi kunye nekoloni yobukumkani base-US?
Ngezantsi ndithumele iingcinga malunga nale mibuzo evela kwitshantliziyo lexesha elide loxolo kunye nonjingalwazi wezomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe uFrancis Boyle.
Njengelinye igqwetha lamalungelo oluntu ndinentlonipho enkulu kuMongameli iNyanga kunye nokuvuma kwakhe ukuvakalisa uMgaqo-nkqubo wokuKhanya kweLanga kooMongameli bakhe ababini boMthetho wamaLungelo oLuntu. Kodwa kuncinci kakhulu anokukwenza malunga ne-THAAD ngoku. UTrump wayimisa apho phambi konyulo lweNyanga ngokuchanekileyo ukuze akhuphe iNyanga ekuthatheni nawaphi na amanyathelo okumisa i-THAAD.
Kuko konke ukunyaniseka, kunye ne-28,000 yemikhosi yase-US apho, uMzantsi Korea ngokusisiseko uphantsi kohlaselo lwasemkhosini yi-United States eshiyekileyo kwiMfazwe yaseKorea. I-US yabeka i-THAAD apho njengenxalenye "yepivot echasene neChina" eyaqalwa ngu-Obama. Kuya kuba kuMongameli waseTshayina u-Xi ukukholisa uTrump ukuba akhuphe i-THAAD-ukuba oko kunokwenziwa.
Mhlawumbi loo njongo inokufezekiswa njengenxalenye yesivumelwano esipheleleyo phakathi kwe-US-China-North Korea ye-denuclearization ye-DPRK. Ndiqinisekile ukuba uMongameli iNyanga uya kwenza konke anako ukukhuthaza isivumelwano esinjalo.
Ilungu leBhodi yeeNgcebiso zeNethiwekhi yeGlobal uSung-Hee Choi uhlala kwiSiqithi saseJeju, eMzantsi Korea kwaye wabhala la mazwi alandelayo ngeNyanga:
Akukho mathandabuzo ukuba iNyanga ingcono kakhulu kune [abongameli ababini bokugqibela abasekunene] uLee Myung-bak okanye uPark Geun-hye.
Nangona kunjalo, yayinguKim Dae-jung (1998-2002) phantsi kwegama lakhe, umtshabalalisi wokuqala waseKorea waseKorea wayecetywe kwaye yayinguRoh Moo-hyun (2003-20007) phantsi kwegama lakhe ubhaptizo kwi-Korean Aegis umtshabalalisi wokuqala uSejong, Inkulu, yenziwe. Yayikwaphantsi korhulumente we-Roh Moo-hyun ukuba iprojekthi yesiseko se-Jeju ye-navy yenziwe ngokwenene. Ukuqonda kukaRoh kunye neprojekthi yesiseko seJeju ye-navy yayikukuba iya komeleza ukuzimela kokuzimela. Andiqondi ukuba wayeyityhale iprojekthi. YayinguPark Chung-hee ongasekhoyo (uyise kaPark Geun-hye) urhulumente ngo-1960 oye wafumana umbono wokwakha isiseko sase-US eJeju. Yayingumkhosi owaseka isicwangciso sokwakha isiseko somkhosi wasemanzini waseJeju ngokunyanisekileyo ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1990. Yayikwangurhulumente weSiqithi saseJeju ngoko owayefuna eyakhe iminqweno yokuzingca ngokwazisa isiseko somkhosi waselwandle kwilali yaseGangjeong.
Ingongoma yam ayikho enye yeenkululeko ezifana noKim Dae-Jung, uRoh Moo-hyun kwaye mhlawumbi i-Moon Jae-in, nayo, baye baqaphela ngokupheleleyo uhlobo lwe-MD. Okanye khange bakhululeke ngokwenyani kwimpembelelo yeenkampani ezinje ngeSamsung kunye/okanye i-United States ebeya kubohlwaya ngokuchasa nje. Ke ngoko kufuneka sijonge iinkululeko ngokuqhubekayo, ngakumbi ngokunxulumene nemicimbi ye-MD.
Enye into eyenza ukuba ixesha leNyanga libenzima ngokwenene, kukutyhala ngurhulumente wase-United States ocace gca kwindawo yakhe yokunikezela ngomthwalo wemali kumazwe amanyeneyo ngokuthengisa izixhobo. UGen. Vincent Brooks, uMlawuli we-United States Forces eKorea, uye wachaza ubungqina bakhe kwiKomiti ye-Senate yase-US ngo-Ephreli 19 ukuba injongo yakhe elandelayo emva kwe-THAAD kukuthengisa iinkqubo ezininzi ze-MD eMzantsi Korea. Izisa umdla othe ngqo kuqoqosho lwase-US, utshilo.
Kuthetha ukuba iNyanga ayisoze ikhululwe kolu hlobo lokuthengisa izixhobo ze-MD kulo lonke ixesha lakhe. Namhlanje, yi-THAAD kodwa ngomso, iingalo ezininzi zinokongezwa kuyo, njenge-SM 3…
Ukususela ekubhaleni loo mazwi uSung-Hee uthumele ulwazi olongezelelweyo esazisa ukuba uMongameli iNyanga uyakuxhasa ukonyuka kwenkcitho yasemkhosini, okanye ukusondeza kwi-3 yepesenti yemveliso yasekhaya yaseSouth Korea. Imigaqo-nkqubo yomongameli omtsha inokuvula indlela yokuba iSeoul ifumane eyayo inkwili yenyukliya.
Ukongeza abanye balindele ukuba iNyanga inokuba nomdla wokwazisa imijukujelwa ye-SM3 ye-interceptor kwi-board yaseKorea Navy Aegis ababhubhisi, oko kukuthi i-THAAD yolwandle….
Ke ekugqibeleni abaphembeleli boxolo baseMzantsi Korea abanakuphumla - kuya kufuneka bawugcine ulwakhiwo lwentshukumo kwaye bacinezele uMongameli iNyanga ukuba angayilandeli imiyalelo yePentagon yokuqhubela phambili ukulwa nePeninsula yaseKorea. Ubonisa nje ukuba 'inkululeko' ayingobasindisi bethu.
