Abantu baseMelika bamukela kuphela izinombolo zamathokheni zabantu abavela emazweni acekelwe phansi izimpi zonya zase-US. Ukuvinjelwa kwamanje kukaDonald Trump kubahambi kuthinta izizwe ebezivele ziqondiswe nguMongameli Obama, “isibonelo esihle sokuqhubeka kwenqubomgomo yombuso waseMelika esifundeni.” Imemo evela “abaphikisayo” yoMnyango Wezwe ayiqukethe “izwi lokweseka ukuthula komhlaba, noma inkomba yokuhlonipha ubukhosi bezwe labanye abantu.”
Ngendlela emangalisa kakhulu yokuphikisa kwangaphakathi izinqubomgomo zabaphathi abahlezi ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane, phezu 1,000 Abasebenzi boMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika basayine imemo bekhalaza ukuvinjelwa kwesikhashana kukaMongameli uDonald Trump kubantu abavela emazweni ayisikhombisa okugcwele amaSulumane ababeka unyawo emhlabathini waseMelika. Elinye iphuzu eliphakeme lakamuva lokungezwani phakathi kwabasebenzi boMnyango Wezwe abayi-18,000 emhlabeni wonke kwenzeka ngoJuni wonyaka odlule, lapho amanxusa angama-51. ubize iziteleka zasemoyeni zase-US ngokumelene nohulumeni waseSyria kaMongameli Bashar al Assad.
Akukho nokuqubuka kokuphikisana okubhekiswe ezimpini zase-US nezijeziso zezomnotho ezibulale futhi zasusa izigidi zabantu emazweni athintekile: i-Iran, i-Iraq, iLibya, iSomalia, iSudan, iSyria neYemen. Kunalokho, "Ukuhlubuka" kwezombusazwe kwehlobo eledlule kwafuna ukucindezela abaphathi baka-Obama ukuthi bajoyine u-Hillary Clinton kanye "netende lakhe elikhulu" eligcwele oklebe bempi ukuze babhekane neRussia esibhakabhakeni phezu kweSiriya, ngenkathi imemo njengamanje yenza imizuliswano yabasebenzi boMnyango Wezwe uthi uyabambelela "amagugu ayisisekelo aseMelika kanye nomthethosisekelo," agcina "intando enhle kubantu baseMelika" futhi avimbele "umonakalo ongaba khona emnothweni wase-US ekulahlekelweni kwemali evela kubahambi nabafundi bakwamanye amazwe."
Ememolweni alikho igama lokweseka ukuthula komhlaba, noma inkomba yokuhlonipha ubukhosi bezwe labanye abantu - okungenzeka ukuthi kufanelekile, ngoba lezi akuzona, futhi akukaze kube, "izindinganiso eziyisisekelo zaseMelika kanye nomthethosisekelo."
Okuxakayo ukuthi “isiteshi esiphikisayo” soMnyango Wezwe sasungulwa phakathi nesinye salezo zikhathi ezingandile emlandweni wase-US lapho “ukuthula” kwakudumile: ngo-1971, lapho umshini wempi wase-US owawuhluliwe wawuqeda ngokungabaza ukwesekwa kombuso wawo wopopayi eNingizimu Vietnam. Ngaleso sikhathi, abantu baseMelika abaningi, okuhlanganisa nezakhamuzi zikahulumeni wase-US, babefuna ukuzitholela udumo “ngokuthula” okwase kuseduze ukuba kuzuzwe amaVietnam, ngezindleko zokufa okungenani izigidi ezine zaseNingizimu-mpumalanga Asia. Kodwa, lezo zinsuku sezadlula kudala. Kusukela ngo-2001, impi isijwayelekile e-US - ikakhulukazi impi ngokumelene namaSulumane, manje esesiphezulu “kumagugu ayisisekelo aseMelika.” Ngempela, inzondo enkulu yaseMelika iqondiswe kumaSulumane kangangokuthi amaDemocrats kanye nokusungulwa kwamaRiphabhulikhi kumele kube nzima ukugcina amaRussia "endaweni enenzondo" ye-psyche ethandwayo yaseMelika. Lezi nzondo ezimbili zokuqala, ezigunyazwe ngokusemthethweni, zihlobene, ikakhulukazi njengoba i-Kremlin ime endleleni ye-blitzkrieg yase-US eSyria, ibhidliza isu le-Washington leminyaka eminingi lokusebenzisa ama-jihadist angama-Islamic njengamasosha ahamba ngezinyawo ombuso wase-US.
I-United States ibilokhu iyiphrojekthi yokwakha umbuso. UGeorge Washington wayibiza ngokuthi "umbuso osafufusa,” uThomas Jefferson wathenga i-Louisiana Territory e-France ephishekela “umbuso obanzi,” neyangempela U-Alexander Hamilton, ngokuphambene nenguqulo ye-Broadway, ibheka i-US “njengombuso othakazelisa kakhulu emhlabeni.” Ibutho lamakoloni labahlali abamhlophe abayizigidi ezimbili (kanye nezigqila zase-Afrika eziyingxenye yesigidi) zanqamula ubuhlobo neBrithani ukuze zenze owayo umbuso, ongenamkhawulo, ukuze uqhudelane neminye imibuso yaseYurophu yomhlaba. Namuhla, i-US iwuMama Wabo Bonke (Neo)AmaKoloniyali, okubuthelwa ngaphansi kweziketi zabo ezihlotshiswe ngezikhali bonke abantu abadala, abashwabene, abaphethe impiriyali abancane benkathi edlule.
Ukuze kuhlanganiswe ukungqubuzana okukhulu phakathi kwemvelo yaseMelika edlayo kanye nesithombe sayo somuntu siqu esiyinganekwane, nokho, i-mega-hyper-empire kumele izenze okuphambene nayo: isivikelo esinomusa, "esiyingqayizivele" futhi "esingadingeki" ngokumelene nobuqaba bomhlaba. Ngakho-ke, ama-Barbarians kumele asungulwe futhi akhuliswe, njengoba kwenza i-US kanye namaSaudis ngo-1980s Afghanistan ngokudala inethiwekhi yokuqala yomhlaba wonke yama-jihadist, ukuze ithunyelwe ngokumelene nezifunda zezwe "zama-barbarian" zaseLibya naseSyria.
Ku-bureaucrate yanamuhla yaseMelika, amazwe ama-barbarian akhathazayo abizwa ngokuthi "amazwe noma izindawo ezikhathazayo" - ulimi olusetshenziswa ukuqoka izizwe eziyisikhombisa eziqondiswe ngaphansi kombuso. Umthetho Wokuvimbela Ukuhamba Kobuphekula ka-2015 esayinwe nguMongameli Obama. UMongameli uDonald Trump usebenzise umthetho okhona njengesisekelo somyalo wakhe wokuvimbela abahambi abavela kulezo zifundazwe, ngenkathi eqamba iSyria kuphela. Ngakho-ke, isinengiso samanje siyisibonelo esiphelele sokuqhubeka kwenqubomgomo yombuso wase-US esifundeni, futhi ngokugcizelela akuyona into entsha ngaphansi kwelanga (ilanga, njenge-Britannia endala, elingalokothi lishone embusweni wase-US).
Umbuso uyazilondoloza, futhi ulwela ngokungapheli ukukhula, ngokusebenzisa amandla ezikhali kanye nezijeziso zezomnotho eziphoqelelayo ezisekelwa usongo lokuqothulwa. Ibulala abantu ngezigidi, kuyilapho ivumela ingxenye encane yezisulu zayo ukuthi ifune indawo engcwele ngaphakathi kwemingcele yase-US, ngokusekelwe enanini layo ngalinye embusweni.
Isinqumo sikaDonald Trump sokucwasa ngokwebala ngqo ithinta abantu ababalelwa ku-20,000, ngokusho kwe-United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees. UMengameli u-Obama wabulala abantu baseLibya abalinganiselwa ku-50,000 2011 ngo-1980, nakuba i-US ingavumi ngokusemthethweni ukuthi yabulala umuntu oyedwa. UMongameli Wokuqala Omnyama ubhekene nengxenye yesigidi yabantu baseSyria abashonile kusukela aqala impi yakhe esekelwe kuJihadist ngokumelene nalelo zwe, ngawo lowo nyaka. Isamba sabantu ababulawa emazweni ayisikhombisa okuhlosiwe selokhu i-US yasekela i-Iraq empini yayo yama-XNUMX ne-Iran ifinyelela okungenani ezigidini ezine - isibhicongo esikhulu kuneso esabangelwa yi-US eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, ezizukulwaneni ezimbili ezedlule - lapho uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika uqala ukusungula. “isiteshi saso esiphikisayo.”
Kodwa, iphi inhlangano yokuthula? Esikhundleni sokufuna ukuthi kumiswe ukubulawa kwabantu okudala amagagasi amakhulu ababaleki, abazibiza ngokuthi “abathuthukayo” bahlanganyela esikweni le-macabre lokubonisa amademoni “amazwe akhathazayo” okuhloswe ngawo ukuhlasela, inqubo umlando wase-US obhalwe ngayo umbala. nokucwasa ngokwebala kanye ne-Islamophobia. Lezi zakhamuzi zombuso zibe sezizihalalisela ngokuba ngabantu “abakhethekile” kuphela emhlabeni, ngoba bazimisele ukwamukela ukuba khona kwengxenye encane yabantu i-US ehlukumezekile.
Bonke abanye abantu, nokho, babona ubuso bangempela baseMelika - futhi kuzoba nenani.
