NguMedea Benjamin noNicolas JS Davies, ngo-Novemba 9, 2020

Siyavuyisana noJoe Biden ngokunyulwa kwakhe njengoMongameli olandelayo waseMelika! Abantu kulo lonke eli lizwe ligcwele bhubhane, lidlakazwe yimfazwe nentlupheko bothuswa buburhalarhume nocalucalulo kulawulo lukaTrump, kwaye bayazibuza ngokuxhalaba ukuba ingaba ubongameli bukaBiden buza kuluvula na ucango lwentsebenziswano yamazwe aphesheya ekufuneka sijongane nayo. iingxaki ezinzulu ezijamelene noluntu kule nkulungwane.

Inkqubela phambili kuyo yonke indawo, ulwazi lokuba "elinye ilizwe linokwenzeka" lisomelezile ukutyhubela amashumi eminyaka yokubawa, ukungalingani okukhulu kunye nemfazwe, njengokukhokelwa yi-US I-neoliberalism iphinde yafaka kwakhona ngenkani inkulungwane ye-19 ilaysez-faire ubungxiwankulu kubantu benkulungwane yama-21. Amava kaTrump atyhile, ngokukhululeka, apho le migaqo-nkqubo inokukhokelela khona. 

Ngokuqinisekileyo uJoe Biden uhlawule amatyala akhe kwaye wavuna umvuzo kwinkqubo efanayo eyonakeleyo yezopolitiko nezoqoqosho njengoTrump, njengoko eyokugqibela evuthela ixilongo kuyo yonke intetho yesiphunzi. Kodwa uBiden kufuneka aqonde ukuba abavoti abancinci abathe bavela ngamanani angazange abonwe ukuba bamfake kwiNdlu yeWhite House baphila ubomi babo bonke phantsi kwale nkqubo ye-neoliberal, kwaye khange bavote “ngokufanayo.” Kananjalo abazicingeli bodwa ukuba iingxaki ezendeleyo kuluntu lwaseMelika ezinje ngobuhlanga, ezomkhosi kunye nezopolitiko ezikhohlakeleyo zorhwebo ziqale ngoTrump. 

Ngexesha lokhankaso lokhetho, u-Biden uthembele kubacebisi bomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle kulawulo lwangaphambili, ngakumbi kulawulo luka-Obama, kwaye kubonakala ngathi ucinga ezinye zazo kwizikhundla eziphezulu zekhabhinethi. Ubukhulu becala, bangamalungu "eWebhu yaseWashington" abonisa ukuqhubeka okunobungozi kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo edlulileyo egxile kwezomkhosi nakwezinye iindlela zokuphathwa gadalala kwamandla.

 Oku kubandakanya ungenelelo eLibya naseSyria, inkxaso yemfazwe yase-Saudi Arabia e-Yemen, iimfazwe zedrone, ukuvalelwa okungapheliyo ngaphandle kwetyala e-Guantanamo, ukutshutshiswa kweempempe kunye nokuhlukunyezwa kwabantu abamhlophe. Abanye baba bantu bafumene nonxibelelwano kurhulumente ukuze benze imivuzo ephezulu ngokubonisana neenkampani nakwamanye amashishini abucala athengisa ngezivumelwano zikarhulumente.  

• Njengosekela-Nobhala Wezwe kunye noSekela Mcebisi kuKhuseleko kuZwelonke ku-Obama, UTony Blinken badlale indima ekhokelayo kuyo yonke imigaqo-nkqubo enoburharha ka-Obama. Emva koko waseka abaCebisi base WestExec ukuba inzuzo evela uthethathethwano ngezivumelwano phakathi kweenkampani kunye nePentagon, kubandakanya enye yeGoogle yokuphuhlisa itekhnoloji yeArtificial Intelligence yokujolisa kwi-drone, eyamiswa kuphela yimvukelo phakathi kwabasebenzi bakaGoogle abanomsindo.

• Ukusukela kulawulo lukaClinton, UMichele Flournoy ubeyinjineli eyintloko yaseMelika ngokungekho mthethweni, ngemfundiso yama impiriyali kwimfazwe yehlabathi kunye nokuhlala emkhosini. Njengombhali ka-Obama woKhuselo loMgaqo-nkqubo, wanceda ekunyuseni ukunyuka kwemfazwe eAfghanistan kunye nongenelelo eLibya naseSyria. Phakathi kwemisebenzi ePentagon, usebenze umnyango ojikelezayo odumileyo wokubonisana neefemu ezifuna iikhontrakthi zePentagon, ukufumana itanki yokucinga yezomkhosi ebizwa ngokuba liZiko loKhuseleko lwaseMelika (CNAS), ngoku ukujoyina uTony Blinken Abacebisi beWestExec.    

• UNicholas Burns Wayengummeli wase-US kwi-NATO ngexesha lokuhlasela kwe-Afghanistan e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq. Ukusukela ngo-2008, usebenze kwalowo wayesakuba ngunobhala wezomkhosi u-William Cohen inkampani yokuphembelela IQela leCohen, lelona lizwe liphembelelayo kumzi mveliso weengalo waseMelika. Ukutshisa ngukhetshe eRashiya naseChina kwaye unayo gwetywanga Umpempe we-NSA u-Edward Snowden "njengomngcatshi." 

• Njengomcebisi wezomthetho ku-Obama nakwiSebe likaRhulumente kwaye ke njengoSekela Mlawuli we-CIA kunye noSekela Mcebisi ngezoKhuseleko kuZwelonke, UAvril Haines ubonelele ngesembozo esisemthethweni kwaye wasebenza ngokusondeleyo noMlawuli we-Obama kunye neCIA uJohn Brennan kwi-Obama ukuphindaphindwa kalishumi Yokubulawa kweedrone. 

• USamantha Power usebenze phantsi kuka-Obama njenge-Ambassade ye-UN kunye noMlawuli wamaLungelo oLuntu kwi-National Security Council. Uxhase ukungenelela kwe-US e-Libya nase-Syria, kunye ne-Saudi ekhokelwa Imfazwe eYemen. Kwaye ngaphandle kwephothifoliyo yamalungelo oluntu, akazange athethe ngokuchaseneyo nohlaselo lakwa-Israeli eGaza olwenzeke phantsi kwexesha lakhe okanye u-Obama wasebenzisa iidrones ngokushiya amakhulu abantu.

• Owayesakuba ngumncedisi kaHillary Clinton UJake Sullivan udlale i- indima ekhokelayo ekuveliseni iimfihlo zase-US kunye neemfazwe zommeleli kwi Libhiya kwaye Siriya. 

• Njengommeli we-UN kwikota yokuqala ka-Obama, USusan Rice ufumene isiciko se-UN ungenelelo oluyintlekele eLibya. NjengoMcebisi kuKhuseleko kuZwelonke kwikota yesibini ka-Obama, iRis nayo yakhusela u-Israyeli ukuqhushumba eGaza kwi-2014, baqhayisa nge-US "yokukhubazeka okukhubazekileyo" e-Iran naseNyakatho Korea, kwaye baxhasa ukuma okuhlaselayo kwiRashiya neChina.

Iqela lomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle elikhokelwa ngabantu abanje liya kuqhubela phambili iimfazwe ezingapheliyo, ukugqwesa kwePentagon kunye ne-CIA elahlekisiweyo thina-kunye nehlabathi-esiye sayinyamezela kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini idlulileyo ye-War on Terror.

Ukwenza uthethathethwano "sisixhobo sokuqala sokuzibandakanya kwethu kwihlabathi liphela."

U-Biden uza kuthatha isikhundla phakathi kweminye yemiceli mngeni emikhulu eluntwini eyakhe yajongana nayo-ukusuka kukungalingani okukhulu, ityala kunye nentlupheko ebangelwe I-neoliberalism, kwiimfazwe ezingenakuthintelwa kunye nobungozi obukhoyo bemfazwe yenyukliya, kwintlekele yemozulu, ukuphela kwabantu kunye nobhubhane weCovid-19. 

Ezi ngxaki azizukusonjululwa ngabantu abafanayo, kunye neengcinga ezifanayo, ezisingenise kwezi ngxaki. Xa kuziwa kumgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle, kukho isidingo esikhulu sabasebenzi kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo esekwe ekuqondeni ukuba ezona ngozi zinkulu sijamelene nazo ziingxaki ezichaphazela ilizwe liphela, kwaye zinokusonjululwa kuphela ngentsebenziswano yokwenyani yamazwe aphesheya, hayi ngongquzulwano okanye ukunyanzelisa.

Ngexesha lephulo, Iwebhusayithi kaJoe Biden Ubhengeze, "Njengomongameli, uBiden uzakuphakamisa ubuchule bezopolitiko njengesixhobo sokuqala sokuzibandakanya kwethu kwihlabathi liphela. Uza kwakha iSebe laseMelika lala maxesha, eligugileyo — etyale imali nasekunikeni amandla ezona ziko liphucukileyo kwilizwe liphela kwaye esebenzisa italente epheleleyo kunye nobutyebi beyantlukwano yaseMelika. ”

Oku kuthetha ukuba umgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle we-Biden kufuneka ulawulwe ikakhulu liSebe likaRhulumente, hayi iPentagon. Imfazwe ebandayo kunye neMelika yasemva kweMfazwe ebandayo uloyiso kukhokelele ekutshintsheni ezi ndima, iPentagon kunye ne-CIA zikhokele kwaye iSebe likaRhulumente lilandela emva kwabo (nge-5% kuphela yohlahlo-lwabiwo mali), bezama ukucoca ubumdaka nokubuyisela imeko kulungelelwaniso kumazwe atshatyalalisiwe Iibhombu zaseMelika okanye iphazanyiswe yi-US izigwebo, ukubetha kwaye amaqela okufa. 

Ngexesha likaTrump, uNobhala Wezwe uMike Pompeo ulinciphisile iSebe likaRhulumente ukuba libe ngaphezulu nje kwe iqela lokuthengisa Kwinkampani yezomkhosi-kwimizi-mveliso ukuya kwiingali ezinengeniso ezijongana neIndiya, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, i-UAE kunye namazwe kwihlabathi liphela. 

Into esiyifunayo ngumgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle okhokelwa liSebe likaRhulumente osombulula iyantlukwano nabamelwane bethu ngozakuzo kunye nothethathethwano, njengomthetho wamanye amazwe eneneni ifuna, kunye neSebe lezoKhuselo elikhusela i-United States kunye nokuthintela ubundlongondlongo bamanye amazwe kuthi, endaweni yokoyikisa nokwenza ubundlongondlongo kubamelwane bethu kwihlabathi liphela.

Njengoko isitsho le nto, "abasebenzi ngumgaqo-nkqubo," ke nabani na uBiden okhetha izikhundla eziphezulu zomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle uya kuba ngoyena ndoqo ekubumbeni umkhomba-ndlela. Ngelixa ukhetho lwethu buqu kukubeka izikhundla eziphezulu zomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle ezandleni zabantu abachithe ubomi babo besukela uxolo kunye nokuchasa ubundlobongela bemikhosi yase-US, loo nto ayikho kumakhadi nolawulo lwangaphakathi lwe-Biden. 

Kodwa kukho izikhundla uBiden anokuzenza ukunika umgaqo-nkqubo wakhe wezangaphandle ugxininiso kwidiploma kunye nothethathethwano athi ufuna. Aba ngoonozakuzaku baseMelika abathe bathethathethana ngempumelelo ngezivumelwano zamazwe aphesheya, balumkisa iinkokheli zase-US ngobungozi bezomkhosi obunoburharha kwaye baphuhlisa ubuchule obubalulekileyo kwiindawo ezinje ngolawulo lweengalo.    

UWilliam Burns WayenguSekela Nobhala Wezwe phantsi kuka-Obama, isikhundla # 2 kwiSebe likaRhulumente, kwaye ngoku ungumlawuli weCarnegie Endowment yoXolo lwaMazwe ngaMazwe. NjengoNobhala ophantsi kweMicimbi yeMpuma yeMpuma ngo-2002, uBurns wanika uNobhala welizwe uPowell ugqirha eneenkcukacha kodwa isilumkiso esingamanyelwanga ukuba uhlaselo lweIraq "lunokutyhilwa" kwaye lwenze "uqhwithela olugqibeleleyo" kwimidla yaseMelika. UBurns ukwasebenza njengeNxusa laseMelika eJordani naseRussia.

UWendy Sherman Wayengu-Undersecretary of State ka-Obama wezeMicimbi yezoPolitiko, # 4 isikhundla kwiSebe likaRhulumente, kwaye ngokufutshane ebambele uSekela Nobhala Wezwe emva kokuba uBurns ethathe umhlala phantsi. USherman wayenguye othetha-thethayo kuzo zozibini izivumelwano ezenziwa ngo-1994 kunye neNyakatho Korea kunye nothethathethwano ne-Iran olukhokelele kwisivumelwano se-Iran malunga nenyukliya ngo-2015. Ngokuqinisekileyo olu luhlobo lwamava uBiden afuna ukuba kwizikhundla eziphezulu ukuba uzimisele ekuvuseleleni ubuzakuzo baseMelika.

Tom Ilizwe nguSihlalo we Umbutho woLawulo lweArms. Kulawulo luka-Obama, u-Countryman wakhonza njengo-Undersecretary of State for International Security Affairs, Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation, kunye ne-Nqununu uSekela-Nobhala oNcedisayo kwezopolitiko. Ubuye wasebenza kwizindlu zoonozakuzaku base-US eBelgrade, Cairo, Rome naseAthene, nanjengomcebisi womgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle kuMlawuli we-US Marine Corps. Ubungcali belizwe linokubaluleka ekunciphiseni okanye ekususeni umngcipheko wemfazwe yenyukliya. Inokulikholisa nephiko eliqhubela phambili leDemocratic Party, kuba uTom wayexhasa uSenator uBernie Sanders njengomongameli.

Ukongeza kwaba baphathi bezobuchwephesha, kukwakho naMalungu eCongress anobungcali kumgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle kwaye angadlala indima ebalulekileyo kwiqela lomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle weBiden. Omnye nguMmeli Ro Khanna, Obeyintshatsheli yokuphelisa inkxaso yaseMelika emfazweni e-Yemen, esombulula ukungavisisani neNyakatho Korea kunye nokubuyisa igunya lomgaqo-siseko leCongress malunga nokusetyenziswa komkhosi. 

Omnye nguMmeli UKaren BassNgubani usihlalo weCongressus Black Caucus kananjalo Ikomitana lezeMicimbi yaNgaphandle e-Afrika, kwiMpilo yeHlabathi, kumaLungelo oLuntu, nakwimibutho yamanye amazwe.

Ukuba amaRiphabhlikhi abambe uninzi lwawo kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu, kuyakubanzima ukufumana amadinga aqinisekisiweyo kunokuba iiDemokhrasi ziphumelela izihlalo ezibini zaseGeorgia isiwe ekubalekeni, okanye kunokuba bebeqhuba amaphulo aqhubela phambili e-Iowa, Maine okanye North Carolina kwaye baphumelela ubuncinci esinye sezo zihlalo. Kodwa le iyakuba yiminyaka emibini emide ukuba sivumela uJoe Biden azifihle emva kukaMitch McConnell kwizikhundla ezibalulekileyo, imigaqo-nkqubo kunye nomthetho. Ukuqeshwa kwekhabinethi yokuqala kukaBiden kuya kuba luvavanyo lwakwangoko lokuba ingaba uBiden uza kuba lilungu eligqibeleleyo ngaphakathi okanye nokuba ukulungele na ukulwela izisombululo ezizezona zinzima kwilizwe lethu. 

isiphelo

Izikhundla zekhabhinethi yase-US zizikhundla zamandla ezinokuchaphazela kakubi ubomi bezigidi zabantu baseMelika kunye neebhiliyoni zabamelwane bethu phesheya. Ukuba uBiden ujikelezwe ngabantu abathi, ngokuchasene nabo bonke ubungqina bamashumi eminyaka edlulileyo, basakholelwa kwisoyikiso esingekho mthethweni kunye nokusetyenziswa komkhosi wezomkhosi njengeziseko eziphambili zomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle waseMelika, intsebenziswano yamazwe aphesheya kwihlabathi liphela elifunekayo iya kujongelwa ngabane iminyaka emininzi yemfazwe, ubutshaba kunye noxinzelelo lwamanye amazwe, kwaye ezona ngxaki zethu zinzima ziya kuhlala zingasonjululwanga. 

Kungenxa yoko le nto kufuneka sikhuthaze ngamandla iqela eliya kuthi liphelise imeko yesiqhelo emfazweni kwaye lenze ukubandakanyeka koonozakuzaku ekuphishekeleni uxolo nentsebenziswano yamanye amazwe iphambili kumgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle.

Nabani na uMongameli-onyuliweyo uBiden ukhetha ukuba yinxalenye yeqela lakhe lomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle, yena-kwaye-baya kutyhilwa ngabantu ngaphaya kocingo lwe-White House abathi bacele ulwaphulo-mthetho, kubandakanya nokusikwa kwinkcitho yomkhosi, kunye nokutshala imali kuqoqosho lwelizwe lethu elinoxolo. uphuhliso.

Kuya kuba ngumsebenzi wethu ukubamba uMongameli Biden kunye neqela lakhe baphendule nanini na xa besilela ukuvula iphepha ngemfazwe nakwezomkhosi, kwaye siqhubeke sibanyanzela ukuba bakhe ubudlelwane bobuhlobo nabo bonke abamelwane bethu kule planethi incinci siyabelana ngayo.
