I-New York Times Izama Ukuqamba Amanga Nge-Ukraine Ngaphandle Kokuqamba Amanga

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Agasti 27, 2023

Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngivame ukufunda incwadi New York Times ngendlela ehlukile endleleni abanye abantu abayifunda ngayo. Ngiyifunde ngifuna izinto ezimbili: amazwibela kanye nobufakazi obuzimele.

Ngamahemuhemu, ngisho inqwaba yakho, izinto ezifakwa lapho ukuze kuxhunyanwe ngaphandle kokugomela okuqondile kwamaqiniso aqinisekiswayo. Nakhu isiqephu sendatshana kusukela ngeSonto, kuqala ngesihloko esithi:

"OwayenguMongameli WaseFrance Unikeza Izwi Lokuzwela KwabaseRussia Ngenkani
"Amazwi kaNicolas Sarkozy aphakamise ukwesaba ukuthi iqembu labaculayo lase-Europe elisekela u-Putin lingase likhule kakhulu njengoba ukuhlasela kwe-Ukraine kubeka ingcindezi ekuzimiseleni kwaseNtshonalanga."

"I-Russian Sympathies" siyazi, njengoba siqala ukufunda, ingagcina isho noma yini. Sizobona. Kodwa “Inkani” kusho ukuthi into eyanele abantu abayikholelwayo ukuhlupha New York Times elingakholwa. I Times angeke neze ibhekisele kuzwelo ebifuna ukuthi ube nalo “njengenkani.”

Isihlokwana sikhomba inkinga ngokuthi “pro-Putin.” Ngakho-ke sikhuluma ngohlobo oluthile lwesivumelwano nohulumeni waseRussia, kanye nesinye Times ibheka okubi ngokwedlulele. Nokho “ikhorasi” isitshela ukuthi isibalo esikhulu sabantu base-Europe babambe lolu hlobo lwenkolelo embi.

Ngegama elithi “Nicolas Sarkozy” sifunda ukuthi kuye kwadingeka indoda ehlazekile, eyonakele, eshisekela ukufudumala ukuze “izwakalise izwi” kulokho okubonakala kuyinkolelo evamile. Yiqiniso ukuthi ikakhulukazi Times ngokwayo - okungenani izethameli zase-US - inikeze uSarkozy leli zwi ngokubika kwayo "ngokunikeza izwi." Kodwa, njengoba abagqugquzeli bokuthula abanezimiso bevinjelwa cishe, futhi abamelene nezinhlangothi zombili zempi bayinto engafaneleki, lokhu kuyinto evamile. Futhi, njengoba Times uzama ukudweba izinkolelo ezinjalo - noma ngabe ziyini - njengezimbi nenkohlakalo, kunengqondo ukuthi uzithole e-Sarkozy kunokuba uzithole kumanxusa amaningi ahlonishwayo, izazi-mlando, noma osihlalo bamaJoint Chiefs of Staff, njll. qhubeka usho abanye omongameli baseYurophu bangaphambili noma bamanje noma amaphalamende, kodwa singathembela ukuthi kwenziwa ngokukhetha okufanayo.

Isihloko sivezwe ekugcineni kwesihlokwana: kunesidingo “sokuxazululwa kwaseNtshonalanga” okwengeziwe ngoba “okuphikisayo” “kuyi-plodding.” Uma othile eke wayifunda New York Times ngaphambili, bebezokwazi ukuthi "i-counteroffensive" ivele ifudumale ngasohlangothini oluthandwayo lwempi enqanyuliwe - uhlangothi umuntu okufanele acabange ukuthi akunjalo ngempela, uyazi, olwa impi. Olunye uhlangothi lulwa, futhi luhlasela, futhi uhlangothi lwakho, uhlangothi oluhle noluhloniphekile - kungakhathaliseki ukuthi indima yalo ekudaleni impi, futhi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yenqaba ukuxoxisana ngokuthula - yenza enye into ngaphandle kwempi: elula, engenakugwenywa, ukuzivikela okungakhethi - ngamafuphi, ukubulala okungeyona impi nakuba ngezibalo zomzimba zokuqhosha. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi "i-counteroffensive." A Times umfundi uzokwazi futhi ukuthi ukunqoba sekusondele isikhathi eside kakhulu, futhi "ukuxazulula" kudingeke ukuba kube - umuntu ulingeka ukuba abhale ngenkani - igcinwe isikhathi eside manje. Njengoba cishe kuzodingeka amashumi eminyaka ngaphambi kokuthi amagama athi “yehlulekile” nelithi “okuphikisayo” atholane, umfundi oqaphile uzophinde aqonde ukuthi igama elithi “plodding” lisho ukuthini.

Amagama athi “ukwesaba okukhulu” avamile ngoba awasitsheli ukuthi ubani owesabayo. Kuleli qophelo siyazi kuphela ukuthi kuhlanganisa New York Times futhi ihloselwe ukusifaka. Nokho thina bafundi abajwayelekile, esaziyo ukuthi asikabhaliselanga amakhorasi e-pro-Putin noma samukele noma yiluphi uxhaso oluvela kuhulumeni waseRussia oshisa izikhotha, nokho singakhumbula umkhuba wakudala owaziwa njengokucabanga okuzimele. Futhi uma sikhumbula lokho, singase sizibuze ukuthi ungaba yini umehluko, empeleni, phakathi kwalezi zihloko ezimbili zezihloko:

"OwayenguMongameli WaseFrance Unikeza Izwi Lokuzwela KwabaseRussia Ngenkani
"Amazwi kaNicolas Sarkozy aphakamise ukwesaba ukuthi iqembu labaculayo lase-Europe elisekela u-Putin lingase likhule kakhulu njengoba ukuhlasela kwe-Ukraine kubeka ingcindezi ekuzimiseleni kwaseNtshonalanga."

Umshicileli Okhohlakele Ofanelwe Ukunakwa Sijoyina Inani Elibalulekile Labantu Ekungavumelani Ne-New York Times Mayelana Ne-Russia
Times Abanikazi, Abakhangisi, kanye Nemithombo Yokwesaba Ngeke Sikwazi Ukuqhubeka Sifuna Ukunqoba Okuseduze Isikhathi Eside, Sicele Usizo Lomphakathi Ekupendeni Abanaysayers Njengobuqotho Esitheni.

Masifunde indatshana sifuna ama-insunuations nanoma yibuphi ubufakazi obuzimele.

“PARIS — UNicolas Sarkozy, owayengumongameli waseFrance, wake waziwa ngokuthi 'uSarko waseMelika' ngenxa yokuthanda izimakethe zamahhala, inkulumo-mpikiswano yamahhala kanye no-Elvis. Nokho, kamuva nje uye wabonakala ‘efana noSarko waseRussia,’ njengoba nje unya lukaMongameli uVladimir V. Putin lubonakala lubonakala kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili.”

Lokhu kuwuhlaka nje “kanye nathi noma ngokumelene nathi”. Kungase kungabikho okunye okushiwo ngezimakethe zamahhala noma impikiswano noma u-Elvis esihlokweni. bengingakulindele. Eqinisweni "impikiswano ye-freewheeling" inzima ukusho ukuthi umuntu uthanda zonke izinto ezinhle zaseMelika noma uthanda iRussia-Putin. Sesingavele silindele ukuthi i-athikili izofaka uSarkozy esho okuthile okuhle ngeRussia kodwa okuncane noma akukho okubi nge-United States noma uhulumeni wase-US. Ngakho-ke isidingo sokubambezeleka kwezindaba kulo mbiko wezindaba ukuze ubeke umfundi kusengaphambili isimo ukuze aqonde ukuthi isitatimende esihle ngeRussia simane siyisitatimende esibi nge-United States.

“Engxoxweni ehambisana nokushicilelwa kwencwadi yesikhumbuzo, uMnu. Sarkozy, owayengumongameli kusukela ngo-2007 kuya ku-2012, wathi ukubuyisela iRussia ukuthathwa kweCrimea 'kwakuwubuqili,' wakhipha i-Ukraine ngokujoyina i-European Union noma i-NATO ngoba kufanele ihlale 'ingathathi hlangothi. ,’ futhi wagcizelela ukuthi iRussia neFrance ‘ziyadingana.’”

Nakhu okuncane kobufakazi obuzimele. I Times izixhumanisi ingxoxo in Le Figaro. Ngiyibiza ngokuzimela, hhayi ngoba ingaphakathi Figaro kodwa ngenxa yokuthi kuwumbhalo, noma okungenani umbiko okhethiwe nochemile futhi ohunyushiwe, ngenhlolokhono. Kungaba a Times interview futhi ngizosho okufanayo. Ngenkathi ngisola i Times yokuzama ukudukisa umhlaba ube yizinqubomgomo eziyinhlekelele eziholela emananini amakhulu okufa (kanye Times ixolisile ngokwayo ngalokho maqondana nempi yase-Iraq), angisoli ukuthi icaphuna kabi noma ubani. Inezindinganiso. Ngaphandle kokukhokhela ukubhalisa ku Figaro futhi ngaphandle kokwazi kahle isiFulentshi, umuntu angabona kusixhumanisi - nakuba kungenasidingo ngempela ukuya kuso - ukuthi inhlolokhono ihlanganisa umqondo wokuthi iFrance neRussia ziyadingana. Kungamangaza uma kungawufaki futhi umqondo wokuthi ukunqoba iCrimea kuyiphupho nje nokuthi i-Ukraine kufanele ingathathi hlangothi.

Yilapho inhlangano yezindaba ephusile ingama futhi ibone amaqiniso athile angalungile. Abantu baseCrimea bavote kakhulu ukuba yingxenye yeRussia. Abezindaba baseNtshonalanga bachitha iminyaka eminingana bememezela ukuthi "ukuthunjwa" kweRussia eCrimea kuwusongo olukhulu kakhulu lokuthula emhlabeni - kubi kakhulu kunezimpi ezinezigidi zezidumbu kanye namashumi ezigidi zabantu abangenamakhaya abashiywe - kuyilapho kungakaze kube nakanye - nakanye - bephakamisa ukuthi abantu baseCrimea bayavota futhi, ngisho okhethweni oluhlukile kunalolo asebelubambile. I-Ukraine kanye nabalingani bayo kanye nezikhali kanye nabashoshozeli bachithe ingxenye engcono yeminyaka emibili bezama ukunqoba iCrimea neDonbas base-Ukraine, besebenzisa impi kanye nezijeziso zezomnotho, ngomonakalo omkhulu kodwa ngaphandle kwempumelelo. Izingqapheli ezihlakaniphile ezivela eNtshonalanga, eRussia, nasemhlabeni wonke, phakathi neminyaka emibili edlule nakudala ngaphambili, ngokuvamile ziye zaphetha ngokuthi i-Ukraine kuzodingeka ingathathi hlangothi ukuze kumiswe ukuthula okuhlala njalo. Ngaphandle kwesivumelwano esivumelwaneni esinjalo, ukushiya impi ukuze kusindiswe iCrimea kumaCrimea noma ukuphumelela ukuthatha iCrimea namabutho ase-Ukraine ngempela kungaba "inkohliso" njengoba uhlangothi oluhluliwe luzophinda luphinde luphinde luphinde luqhubeke nokulwa. Mayelana neRussia neFrance ziyadingana, njengoba uSenator Bernie Sanders ebhale ngesonto eledlule ukuthi i-United States neChina ziyadingana, yini engenakuphikiswa? Ukwehlukana okudalwe yimpi kusilahlekisela ekuwohlokeni kwesimo sezulu, ukungabi namakhaya, ubumpofu neziyaluyalu, ngaphandle kokubambisana komhlaba wonke ngisho nokunciphisa umonakalo.

Esikhundleni sokuvuma la maqiniso, i- Times isuka ku-geopolitics iye kubantu bezepolitiki. Ayikho impendulo elula ekugomeni okucashunwe ku-Sarkozy. Ngakho-ke impendulo iwukudlulela kwezinye mayelana nento ezondwa kakhulu etholakalayo, okungukuthi uVladimir Putin:

“'Abantu bangitshela ukuthi uVladimir Putin akayona indoda engahlangana nayo. Angikutholi kukholisa lokho. Ngibe nezingxoxo eziyishumi naye. Akayena ongenangqondo,' usho kanje utshele uLe Figaro. 'Izintshisekelo zaseYurophu azihambisani nezithakazelo zaseMelika ngalesi sikhathi,' wengeza. Izitatimende zakhe, ephephandabeni kanye nakumabonakude we-TF1, bezingavamile kowayengumengameli ngoba zishayisana kakhulu nenqubomgomo esemthethweni yaseFrance. Bacasule inxusa lase-Ukraine eFrance nokulahlwa kosopolitiki abambalwa baseFrance, okuhlanganisa noMongameli u-Emmanuel Macron. La mazwi aphinde agcizelela amandla emaphaketheni e-pro-Putin aqhubekayo eYurophu. Lawo mazwi aphazamisekile kusukela iYurophu yakha ukuma okuhlangene ngokumelene neRussia, ngokusebenzisa imijikelezo yezomnotho ephikisana neMoscow kanye nosizo lwezempi eKiv. "

Ingabe u-Putin unengqondo noma cha? Ngabe abaholi bakazwelonke abacekela phansi iLibya noma i-Afghanistan babenengqondo noma cha? Ingabe amabutho nezishayamthetho kanye nemithombo yezindaba ekhothamela imiyalo yabantu abanjalo inengqondo noma cha? Ziningi izindlela zokuphendula lokhu. Kodwa iphendulwa ngendlela ehlukile ngokusekelwe ebuzweni, hhayi kunoma yini enye. Ngenkathi umuntu ekwazi ukuxoxisana ngezivumelwano zokusanhlamvu kanye nokuhwebelana kweziboshwa neRussia, umuntu angasho ukuthi ukuxoxisana ngokuthula akunakwenzeka ngoba uPutin "akanangqondo." Futhi umuntu angakwazi ukusekela lokho ngezenzo zakhe zokubulala ezinyantisayo, ezingokoqobo ngokuphelele. Kodwa lokhu kwenziwa egameni lokweseka izenzo ezimbi zokubulala zabanye. Indaba yokuthi uPutin kungenzeka ukuthi wabulala i-mercenary isetshenziswa kulokhu nakwezinye izihloko ukuphakamisa ukuthi u-Putin uye waba mubi kakhulu. Indaba yokuthi i-US nama-sidekick ayo athumela amabhomu ayiqoqo noma izindiza zokulwa noma noma yini engasetshenziselwa lutho nhlobo, nakuba ingase ifeze injongo efanayo futhi ikwenze kwabezindaba zaseRussia.

Ukugomela kokungabi nangqondo kwesitha kwenziwa kanye nokuvinjelwa okungenangqondo kokungavumelani. USarkozy uthi uPutin akayena "ongenangqondo" futhi ngokushesha ubizwa ngokuthi pro-Putin - hhayi, ngendlela, umlandeli "wenkulumompikiswano yamahhala." Uyanezela ukuthi “Izintshisekelo zaseYurophu azihambisani nezithakazelo zaseMelika kulokhu.” Okushiwo ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi - mhlawumbe izikhathi eziningi - kunjalo. Usho ngokusobala izithakazelo zikahulumeni wase-US, hhayi izintshisekelo zangempela zomphakathi wase-US, okuthi, ngokusho kwe-CNN, ineningi elifuna ukuyeka ukuhlomisa le mpi.

Ngemuva kokuqamba amaqiniso angafuneki njenge-pro-Putin, i Times uyaqhubeka nokuphawula abanye abantu, ngaphezu kukaSarkozy, egomela amaqiniso anjalo, hhayi njengesizathu sokuthatha amaqiniso ngokungathi sína, kodwa njengobufakazi bengozi yabalandeli bakaPutin abacashe emakhoneni aseYurophu:

“Amathuba azokhula kakhulu abonakala ekhulile njengoba ukuhlasela kwe-Ukraine kubonakale kuncane kakhulu kuze kube manje. 'Iqiniso lokuthi ukulwa nokuhlasela akukakasebenzi kuze kube manje kusho impi ende yomphumela ongaqinisekile,' kusho uNicole Bacharan, usosayensi wezepolitiki eSciences Po, inyuvesi yaseParis. 'Kunengozi yokukhathala kwezombusazwe kanye nezezimali phakathi kwemibuso yaseNtshonalanga engenza i-Ukraine ibe buthaka.' EFrance, eJalimane, e-Italy nakwezinye izindawo, ngisho nezenzo zonya ezisobala zokuhlasela kweRussia ngokumelene ne-Ukraine azibususile ubudlelwano beRussia ngokwesiko obutholakala kwesokudla nakude kwesokunxele. Lokhu futhi ngezinye izikhathi kudlulela kosopolitiki abasungulwe njengoMnu. Sarkozy, abanomuzwa wokuthi behlobene neMoscow, basola ukwanda kwe-NATO ngasempumalanga ngempi, noma inzuzo yemali yamehlo. "

Ukuqashelwa kwamaqiniso lapha kuboniswa njengobuthakathaka. Abantu abamelene nokuqhubeka kokufudumala okungapheli “bakhathele.” Umuntu akakwazi ukukhathala ekwenzeni ukuthula bese ebuyela ekuqhumiseni izinto. Umuntu angakhathala kuphela ngokubhujiswa futhi ngobuvila azinikele emcabangweni wokuthula okhohlisayo. Ukwenza ukuthula bekungeke kubazuzise abantu base-Ukraine abafa ngezinkulungwane. Ukwenza ukuthula “kwakuyoyenza buthaka i-Ukraine.” Futhi bheka ukuthi yini ehlanganiswe ndawonye emshweni wokugcina ongenhla! Angizizwa nginobudlelwane obungokwengqondo neMoscow. Ukube bengibheke ukuzuza imali bengizofaka isicelo somsebenzi e-Lockheed Martin. Futhi nokho ngisola ukwanda kwe-NATO, kanye nezinye izenzo eziningi nhlangothi zombili, ngempi. Impela umbuzo wokuthi ngiqinisile noma cha uhlobene namaqiniso, hhayi nokuthi ubani okhokhela bani noma ozwa “ubudlelwane neMoscow.” Ngingathanda ukuthi wonke umuntu azizwe ehlobene nawo wonke umuntu, futhi ngikholelwe ukuthi sonke singafa ngenxa yokuntuleka kwalokho, uma kufanele wazi ngempela.

The Times iyaqhubeka ngale ndlela amanye amagama angaphezu kwenkulungwane. Ngeke ngikucaphule wonke, ngoba angikuthandi. Ungahamba uzifunde ngokwakho. Ngizoqaphela ukuthi zihlanganisa ezinye izindlela ezihlukahlukene zokukwenza udelele uPutin (njengokungathi ukuqhuma kwakhe ibhomu e-Ukraine ngandlela-thile akwanele). Omunye uhlanganisa ngokukhululekile uPutin noDonald Trump. Lokhu kubukeka njengokufisa ukubamba abantu abathile, kodwa kungase kube umkhuba ovamile wokufaka u-Donald Trump emibikweni eminingi yezindaba ngangokunokwenzeka.

Ukukhathazeka kwami ​​akukhona ukuthi empeleni abekho abantu abaningi abazwelana noPutin futhi - ngokuvumelana ngokuphelele Izikhathi' isimo sengqondo sokuthi-thina-noma-omelene nathi - bakholelwa ukuthi kumele bathathe uhlangothi lwakhe ngokumelene nelase-United States. Ukukhathazeka kwami ​​​​ukuthi amaqiniso ayisisekelo mayelana nempi akufanele avinjelwe ngokumemeza "Putin!" nokuthi ukukhetha ukuthula, ukuvumelana, kanye nokugwema i-apocalypse yenuzi akufanele kuguqulwe kube ukusekelwa okucatshangwayo kwanoma yiluphi uhlangothi lwempi iphephandaba eliphikisana nalo.

Ngaphambi kokuphela kwayo, yona le ndatshana iphakamisa ukuthi ukuphikiswa komphakathi eYurophu ekuguquleni izinsiza zibe izikhali futhi kude nezidingo zabantu kuncike ohlangothini lwezepolitiki olusekela uPutin. I Times ayiphakamisi ukuthi uPutin uxhasa iningi lomphakathi waseYurophu. Njengoba ngishilo, i Times inezindinganiso.
