Ukuphawula Engqungqutheleni Yezisekelo Zangaphandle, e-Baltimore, MD, Januwari 13, 2018
nguDavid Swanson, Januwari 13, 2018, Ake sizame ngentando yeningi.
Ngithola ukwethula izikhulumi ezintathu ezesabekayo kuwe ngesihloko se-Latin America ne-Caribbean, kodwa okokuqala ngivunyelwe ukusho engikucabangayo imizuzu emihlanu, ngakho ngizokwenza lokho. Ngicabanga ukuthi izisekelo zokuqala zaseYurophu kulolu gu kwakuyizisekelo zangaphandle, ukuthi zathuthela entshonalanga, nokuthi umkhuba awukaze ume kancane. Ngihlala cishe eduze kwekhaya likaJames Monroe ogama lakhe i-Monroe Doctrine, njengoba yathuthukiswa futhi yahlukunyezwa emakhulwini eminyaka edlule, okufanele ingcwatshwe. Inqubomgomo yase-US yokungafuni ukubusa ngokwentando yeningi ngokuphambene nentando yeningi futhi ngokuvamile ngobudlova izizwe eziseningizimu yayo, egameni lokuvimbela amanye amandla ekwenzeni lokho, ibone ukuphela kwesikhathi sayo sokusebenza. Izaba zobukhomanisi zihambile. Izaba zobuphekula nezidakamizwa zibuthakathaka futhi ziba buthaka.
I-United States igcina amanani amancane amasosha cishe kuwo wonke amazwe noma izindawo eziseningizimu yayo, ngamanani amakhulu kunawo wonke ePuerto Rico, Cuba, Honduras, nase-El Salvador, namanye amaningi ebangeni elimangalisayo eTexas naseFlorida, lapho i-US igcina khona impi. isikhungo somyalo esithi siyala i-hemisphere. I-US isebenzisa ngisho nesiqhingi esimaphakathi ne-Atlantic amaNgisi asisebenzisa empini yaseFalklands. Futhi izisekelo zayo zihlanganisa eyodwa ekugcineni eNingizimu Melika.
Ingabe iLatin America iwusongo lwezempi e-United States noma emhlabeni? Nakancane. Usongo olubonwa ingxenye ethile yase-US elokutheleka kwababaleki abavela ebunzimeni, okuhlanganisa kakhulu izinhlekelele ezidalwe abantu, kanye neningi lalezo ezidalwe ngokwengxenye yimpi yase-US. Kubo bonke abathengisi bezikhali abakhulu emhlabeni, abekho abaseCentral noma eNingizimu Melika noma eCaribbean. Kodwa cishe yonke indawo ithunyelwa izikhali ezivela e-United States. Nakuba i-US ikhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwemali okuphezulu kwezempi kulawa mazwe futhi ibeka isibonelo ngokusebenzisa imali engaphezu kuka-$1 trillion ngonyaka ngokwawo, iBrazil ukuphela kwezwe esifundeni elisebenzisa ngaphezu kuka-1% walokho, noma u-$10 billion. Isebenzisa u-$24 billion. Wonke amazwe akulesi sifunda nasemhlabeni achitha eduze kuka-$0 wase-Costa Rica kuno-$1 trillion we-United States.
Lawa mazwe awanazo izikhali zenuzi, zamakhemikhali, noma zebhayoloji. Cishe bonke bangamalungu e-International Criminal Court. Bathambekele ekubeni yingxenye yezivumelwano zokuhoxiswa kwezikhali kanye namalungelo abantu kune-United States. Cishe bonke bangamalungu ezindawo ezingenawo amandla enuzi. Iningi lisayine isivumelwano esisha sokuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi. Abanye babambe amakhomishana eqiniso noma bashushise ubugebengu bempi. Abantu cishe kuwo wonke umuntu basayine isifungo sethu sokuthula ku-WorldBeyondWar.org. Eminyakeni emine edlule kule nyanga, amazwe angama-31 aseLatin America naseCaribbean azimemezela ukuthi ayindawo yokuthula futhi azibophezele ukuthi angasebenzisi nokuzama ukuqeda ukwenza impi, kanye nokuqhubekisela phambili ukuqedwa kwezikhali okuphelele.
Lokhu kuziphatha kwemodeli kuzuzisani isifunda e-US? Kusukela ngo-1945, ukhetho oluningi lwaphazamisa, ukubulawa kwabaholi noma imizamo emazweni ayisishiyagalombili engiwaziyo, yaketula ohulumeni noma imizamo yakhona emazweni ayi-15 engiwaziyo, ukuhlaselwa ngamasosha ase-US emazweni ayi-13 engiwaziyo. Ngo-2013 uGallup wenza inhlolovo e-Argentina, eMexico, eBrazil nasePeru, futhi esimweni ngasinye wathola i-United States impendulo ephezulu yokuthi “Yiliphi izwe eliwusongo olukhulu lokuthula emhlabeni?” Ngo-2017, u-Pew wenza inhlolovo e-Mexico, e-Chile, e-Argentina, e-Brazil, e-Venezuela, e-Colombia nase-Peru, futhi wathola phakathi kuka-56% no-85% ekholelwa ukuthi i-United States iwusongo ezweni labo.
Le imperialism yesimanje ingeyase-USian ehlukile, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ukuxhumana nokuhlela yikho konke esikudingayo ukuze sikuqede sisebenzisa imizwa ekhona edumile. Mhlawumbe singavala izisekelo ngenxa yokungabongi kwabangaphandle ngokupha kwethu esikucabangayo. Kodwa ingabe ukunqoba okunjalo kwakuyobeka isisekelo sokuziphatha okuhle? Ukukhethekile kwe-US okufakazela ubuxhwanguxhwangu bombuso kuwumuzwa ogqamile okungenzeka kudingeke ukuba selaphe. Ubuzwe base-US bunomlingisi ongokwenkolo, umsebenzi obhubhisayo ucatshangwa ukuthi ungcwele. I-Ft. UMcHenry Baltimore akusona isiza somlando. “Iyisikhumbuzo Sikazwelonke Nendawo Engcwele Yomlando.” Kungase kudingeke sifunde ukwazisa ezinye izinto, kuhlanganise nezinye ezingu-96% zesintu, ngaphambi kokuba umbuso uvale.
