UTSHABA lomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle waseMelika ubekwe ngokufihlakeleyo kwinqanaba eliphezulu lolawulo lukaTrump. Eli nani lilodwa liyazifihla ngobuqili iimbono zalo zokubhukuqa. Uzenza ngathi uxhasa ukugcwala kweqela lesizwe, ibhombu-wonke umntu-izolo ubundlongondlongo, kodwa intliziyo yakhe ayikho kuyo.
Ngaba loo nto ingaba nguMongameli iTump ngokwakhe? Isimemezelo sakhe esimangalisayo sokuba uya kuthanda ukudonsa amabutho aseMerika eSiriya sisona sigqibo esinqununu somthetho wasemzini asenzile ukususela ekubeni uthathe iofisi-ngokwenene, malunga neyona nto kuphela. Iphikisana nomgaqo we-geopolitical evangeli eWashington: Nomaphi lapho i-United States idlulisa amabutho, siya kuhlala size sithole oko sifuna. I-Trump ibonakala iyakubona oku njengendlela yokufumana imfazwe kunye nomsebenzi osisigxina. Ukutshatyalaliswa kwakhe kweSiriya kubonakalisa ubume bakhe bangaphakathi njengomgaqo-nkqubo welizwe langaphandle. Kwakhona kumbeka ekuvukeleni okuvulekileyo ngokuvisisana nongenelelo oluye lwadala ukuloba kweMelika kwilizwe.
I-Trump ayizange ifihlwe ukunyaniseka kwayo kwiimfazwe zangaphandle. "Masiphume e-Afghanistan," wathetha nge-tweeted ngexesha lakhe. Ngomnye umbhikano wongameli wazama ukuthetha inyaniso engacacanga ukuba i-Iraq "yona mpazamo ebaluleke kakhulu kwimbali yaleli lizwe." Xa udliwano-ndlebe lwangoku wambuza malunga neMiddle East, wathi, "Ngaba siya kuhlala kuloo inxalenye yehlabathi? "waza wagqiba wathi:" Kamsinya kufike kwindawo apho ungafanele uhlale khona. "
Ngoku, ngokokuqala ngqa, iTump uguqula izilwanyana emva kwala magama ekusebenzeni. Ikhalaji lezempi elikujikelezayo liya kukulwela ukulwa nokuhlaselwa.
Umgaqo-nkqubo omtsha weTrump-off-off ku-Syria uya kuba yinto epheleleyo yokuguqula oko uNobhala kaRhulumente uMike Pompeo kunye nomcebisi wezokhuseleko kazwelonke uJohn Bolton bezama ukukwenza ekubeni baqalisa ukubusa komlilo kunyaka ophelileyo. "Sisekho kude kubekho isalathisi yendawo ye-ISIS isuswe kwaye ngokude nje ukuba ingozi ye-Iranian iqhubeke kulo lonke elaseMbindi Mpuma," uBolton utshanje. UPompeo wathembisa amabutho aseMerika aya kuhlala kude i-Iran ilahle "yonke imikhosi phantsi komyalelo we-Iranian kulo lonke elaseSiriya."
Kwiinyanga ezinje imikhosi yase-US ibandakanyeke kwi-drive enkulu, engagunyaziswanga yiCongress kwaye ingakhange ixutywe eWashington, ukuhlanganisa ukulawula empuma yeSiriya-indawo ephindwe kabini ubukhulu baseMassachusetts. I-New Yorker ibixelele inyanga edlulileyo ukuba i-4,000 amabutho aseMerika ngoku isebenza ukususela kwiinqununu ezili-12 kulo mmandla, kuquka neendawo ezine zomoya, kwaye "imikhosi esekelayo yaseMelika ngoku ilawula yonke iSiriya empuma ye-Ewufrathe."
Le khola yayiza kuba yiplati apho i-United States yayingenza iprojekthi kummandla ophakathi kweMbindi-Mpuma. Ukuqinisekisa ukuba i-2 eyesithathu yeSiriya ayifumananga kwaye iphumelele phantsi kokulawulwa kukaRhulumente, ulawulo lweTrump luye lwazisa izicwangciso zokuvimba amanye amazwe ekuthumeni uncedo lokwakha kabusha. UJames Jeffrey, umthunywa wethu okhethekileyo waseSiriya, wathi i-United States "iya kwenza ukuba ishishini lethu lenze ubomi bube buhlungu njengokuba kunokwenzeka ukuba loo mpahla we-regda."
