Kwiminyaka elishumi elinesithoba eyadlulayo, ngoMatshi 2003, Ndarhoxa njengonozakuzaku waseUnited States ngokuchasene nesigqibo sikaMongameli Bush sokuhlasela i-Iraq. Ndajoyina abanye oonozakuzaku ababini baseMelika, UBrady Kiesling kwaye John Brown, owayeyeke kwiiveki ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ndirhoxe. Sivile kwabanye oonozakuzaku base-US ababelwe kuzakuzo wase-US kwihlabathi liphela ukuba nabo bakholelwa ukuba isigqibo solawulo lukaBush siya kuba neziphumo ezibi zexesha elide e-US nakwihlabathi, kodwa ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukeneyo, akukho mntu wasijoyinayo ekurhoxeni kwakhe. kude kube kamva. Uninzi lwabagxeki bokuqala bokurhoxa kwethu basixelela ukuba babengalunganga kwaye bavuma ukuba isigqibo sikarhulumente wase-US sokulwa imfazwe ne-Iraq sasiyintlekele.

Isigqibo sase-US sokuhlasela i-Iraq sisebenzisa isoyikiso esenziwe ngezixhobo zentshabalalo enkulu kwaye ngaphandle kogunyaziso lweZizwe eziManyeneyo saqhankqalazwa ngabantu phantse kuwo onke amazwe. Izigidi zabantu zazisezitratweni kumakomkhulu kwihlabathi liphela ngaphambi kohlaselo zifuna ukuba oorhulumente bazo bangathathi nxaxheba “kumanyano lwabazimiseleyo” base-US.

Kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini edlulileyo, uMongameli waseRashiya u-Putin uye walumkisa i-US kunye ne-NATO ngamazwi acacileyo ukuba i-rhetoric yamazwe ngamazwe "iingcango aziyi kuvala ukungena kwe-Ukraine kwi-NATO" yayisisongelo kukhuseleko lwesizwe lwe-Russian Federation.

UPutin ucaphule isivumelwano somlomo sika-1990 sikaGeorge HW Bush emva kokuchithwa kweSoviet Union, i-NATO ayizukuhambisa "intshi enye" ​​kufutshane neRussia. I-NATO ayizukubhalisa amazwe asuka kumanyano lwangaphambili lweWarsaw Pact kunye neSoviet Union.

Nangona kunjalo, phantsi kolawulo lukaClinton, i-US kunye I-NATO yaqala inkqubo yayo "yeNtsebenziswano yoXolo". eyathi yangena ngokupheleleyo kwi-NATO yamazwe awayesakuba yiWarsaw Pact-iPoland, iHungary, iRiphabliki yaseCzech, iBulgaria, i-Estonia, iLatvia, iLithuania, iRomania, iSlovakia, iSlovenia, iAlbania, iCroatia, iMontenegro kunye noMntla Macedonia.

I-US kunye ne-NATO yahamba inyathelo elinye kakhulu kwi-Russian Federation kunye ne-February 2014 yokubhukuqa abanyuliweyo, kodwa kutyholwa ukuba ukhohlakele, urhulumente wase-Russia oncike e-Ukraine, ukubhukuqa okwakhuthazwa kunye nokuxhaswa ngurhulumente wase-US. Amajoni obuFasi azibandakanya nabemi abaqhelekileyo baseUkraine ababengaluthandi urhwaphilizo kurhulumente wabo. Kodwa endaweni yokulinda ngaphantsi konyaka omnye kunyulo olulandelayo, kwaqalisa udushe kwaza kwabulawa amakhulukhulu eMaidan Square eKyiv ngabahlaseli bakarhulumente namajoni.

Ubundlobongela obuchasene nabantu baseRashiya bobuhlanga busasazeka kwezinye iindawo zaseUkraine kunye abaninzi babulawa ngamahlokondiba e-fascist NgoMeyi 2, 2014 e-Odessa.   Uninzi lwabantu baseRashiya bobuhlanga kumaphondo asempuma ye-Ukraine baqala imvukelo yokwahlukana ekhankanya ubundlobongela kubo, ukunqongophala kwemithombo evela kurhulumente kunye nokucinywa kokufundiswa kolwimi lwesiRashiya kunye nembali ezikolweni njengezizathu zokuvukela kwabo. Ngelixa umkhosi waseUkraine uvumile ibutho lasekunene le-neo-Nazi Azov ukuba yinxalenye yemisebenzi yomkhosi ngokuchasene namaphondo ahlukanisiweyo, umkhosi wase-Ukraine awungombutho we-fascist njengoko kutyholwa ngurhulumente waseRussia.

I-Azov inxaxheba kwezopolitiko e-Ukraine ayizange iphumelele bafumana kuphela isi-2 ekhulwini sevoti kunyulo luka-2019, ngaphantsi kakhulu kunamanye amaqela ezopolitiko asekunene afumene kunyulo kwamanye amazwe aseYurophu.

Umphathi wabo Umphathiswa Wezangaphandle u-Sergei Lavrov uphosakele ngokutsho ukuba uMongameli wase-Ukraine uZelensky ukhokela urhulumente wobuFasi ekufuneka atshatyalaliswe njengoko owayesakuba ngumphathi wam uNobhala weLizwe uColin Powell wayengalunganga ekuqhubeni ubuxoki bokuba urhulumente wase-Iraq wayenezixhobo zokutshabalalisa kwaye. ke ngoko kufuneka kutshatyalaliswe.

Ukufakwa kweRussian Federation yaseCrimea kugwetywe uninzi lwamazwe ngamazwe. ICrimea yayiphantsi kwesivumelwano esikhethekileyo phakathi kweRussian Federation kunye norhulumente waseUkraine apho amajoni kunye neenqanawa zaseRussia zabelwa eCrimea ukuze zibonelele iRussian Southern Fleet ukufikelela kuLwandle Olumnyama, indawo yasemkhosini yeFederation ukuya kuLwandle lweMeditera. NgoMatshi 2014 emva iminyaka esibhozo yeengxoxo kunye novoto malunga nokuba abahlali baseCrimea bafuna ukuhlala njengaseUkraine, amaRashiya eentlanga (I-77% yabemi baseCrimea babethetha isiRashiya) kunye nentsalela yabemi abangamaTatar yabamba i-plebiscite eCrimea baza bavotela ukucela iRussian Federation ukuba ihluthwe.  Iipesenti ezingama-83 zabavoti eCrimea baye baphuma bayokuvota yaye abangama-97 ekhulwini bavotela ukudityaniswa kweRussian Federation. Iziphumo zeplebiscite zamkelwa kwaye zaphunyezwa yiRussian Federation ngaphandle kokudubula. Nangona kunjalo, uluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe luye lwasebenzisa izohlwayo ezomeleleyo ngokuchasene neRussia kunye nezohlwayo ezikhethekileyo ngokuchasene neCrimea eziye zatshabalalisa ishishini lezokhenketho lamazwe ngamazwe lokubamba iinqanawa zabakhenkethi ezivela eTurkey nakwamanye amazwe aseMeditera.

Kwiminyaka esibhozo ezayo ukusuka kwi-2014 ukuya kwi-2022, abantu abangaphezu kwe-14,000 babulawa kwintlangano yokwahlukana kwingingqi yaseDonbass. UMongameli uPutin waqhubeka elumkisa i-US kunye ne-NATO ukuba i-Ukraine ifakwe kwi-NATO sphere iya kuba yingozi kukhuseleko lwesizwe lwe-Russian Federation. Kwakhona walumkisa i-NATO malunga nokunyuka kwenani lemidlalo yemfazwe yasemkhosini eyenziwa kumda waseRashiya kuquka ne-2016 a Imfazwe enkulu kakhulu enegama elibi elithi "Anaconda", inyoka enkulu ebulala ngokusonga ifuthanise ixhoba layo, umzekeliso ongalahlekanga kurhulumente waseRashiya. I-US/NATO entsha iziseko ezazakhiwe ePoland kunye nendawo ye  iibhetri ezijulwayo eRomania kongezelela kwinkxalabo karhulumente waseRashiya ngokhuseleko lwelizwe lakhe.

 Ngasekupheleni kuka-2021 kunye ne-US kunye ne-NATO yokuchitha inkxalabo karhulumente waseRussia ngokhuseleko lwelizwe, baphinda bathi "ucango aluzange luvalwe ukungena kwi-NATO" apho iRussian Federation yaphendula ngokwakhiwa kwemikhosi yomkhosi eyi-125,000 ejikeleze iUkraine. Umongameli uPutin kunye nomphathiswa wexesha elide waseRussian Federation uLavrov bahlala bexelela umhlaba ukuba olu yayiluqeqesho olukhulu, olufana noqeqesho lwasemkhosini olwaqhutywa yi-NATO kunye ne-US ecaleni kwemida yayo.

Nangona kunjalo, kwingxelo kamabonwakude ende kunye nebanzi ngoFebruwari 21, 2022, uMongameli uPutin wabeka umbono wembali weRussian Federation kubandakanya nokuvunywa kwamaphondo ahlukeneyo aseDonetsk naseLuhansk kwingingqi yeDonbass njengamaqumrhu azimeleyo kwaye wawabhengeza ukuba angamaqabane. . Kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa kamva, uMongameli uPutin wayalela ukuba kuhlaselwe umkhosi waseRussia eUkraine.

Ukuvunywa kweziganeko zeminyaka esibhozo edlulileyo, akumkhululi urhulumente ekwaphuleni kwakhe umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe xa ehlasela ilizwe elizimeleyo, etshabalalisa iziseko ezingundoqo kwaye ebulala amawaka abemi bakhe egameni lokhuseleko lwesizwe lorhulumente ohlaselayo.

Esi sesona sizathu kanye sokuba ndirhoxe kurhulumente wase-US kwiminyaka elishumi elinesithoba eyadlulayo xa abalawuli bakaBush basebenzisa ubuxoki bezixhobo zembubhiso eIraq njengesoyikiso kukhuseleko lwelizwe lase-US kunye nesiseko sokuhlasela kunye nokuhlala eIraq phantse ishumi leminyaka, ukutshabalalisa okukhulu. Izixa zeziseko ezingundoqo kunye nokubulala amashumi amawaka e-Iraqis.

Andizange ndirhoxe kuba ndilithiyile ilizwe lam. Ndarhoxa kuba ndicinga ukuba izigqibo ezenziwa ngoosopolitiki abanyuliweyo abasebenza kurhulumente azikho kulungeleyo ilizwe lam, okanye abantu baseIraq, okanye ihlabathi.

Ukurhoxa kurhulumente ngokuchasene nesigqibo semfazwe esenziwe ngabaphathi bakhe kurhulumente sisigqibo esikhulu… ngakumbi malunga noko abemi baseRussia, ngakumbi oonozakuzaku baseRussia, abajongana norhulumente waseRussia ngokwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho ukusetyenziswa kwegama elithi “imfazwe,” ukubanjwa kuka. amawaka abaqhankqalazi ezitalatweni kunye nokuvala amajelo eendaba azimeleyo.

Ngoonozakuzaku baseRussia abasebenza ngaphezulu kwe-100 yozakuzo baseRussian Federation kwihlabathi liphela, ndiyazi ukuba babukele imithombo yeendaba yamazwe aphesheya kwaye banolwazi oluninzi malunga nemfazwe ekhohlakeleyo kubantu baseUkraine kunabalingane babo kwiSebe lezangaphandle eMoscow, kancinci kancinci. umndilili waseRashiya, ngoku ekubeni amajelo eendaba ehlabathi akhutshiwe emoyeni nakwiindawo ze-intanethi zivaliwe.

Kwabo onozakuzaku baseRussia, isigqibo sokurhoxa kumbutho wozakuzo waseRussia siya kuba neziphumo ezibi kakhulu kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo siya kuba yingozi ngakumbi kunoko bendijongene nako ekurhoxeni kwam ngokuchasene nemfazwe yase-US e-Iraq.

Noko ke, ngokwawam amava, ndinokubaxelela abo babameli baseRashiya ukuba umthwalo onzima uya kususwa kwizazela zabo emva kokuba benze isigqibo sokurhoxa. Ngelixa beya kukhutshelwa ngaphandle ngoogxa babo bezozakuzo, njengoko ndifumeneyo, abaninzi ngakumbi baya kubuvuma buthule ubugorha babo bokurhoxa kwaye bajongane neziphumo zokuphulukana nomsebenzi abawusebenze ngenkuthalo ukuwudala.

Ukuba abanye oonozakuzaku baseRussia bayarhoxa, kukho imibutho kunye namaqela kuwo onke amazwe apho kukho indawo yozakuzo yaseRussian Federation endicinga ukuba iya kubabonelela ngoncedo kunye noncedo njengoko beqala isahluko esitsha sobomi babo ngaphandle kombutho wozakuzo.

Bajamelene nesigqibo esibalulekileyo.

Kwaye, ukuba bayarhoxa, amazwi abo esazela, amazwi abo aphikisayo, mhlawumbi aya kuba lelona lifa libalulekileyo ebomini babo.
